Abstract

Abstract Humans and leaders are crucial topics in the 2017 Jakarta Governor Election. Both gubernatorial candidates and their running mates employed distinct metaphors to elucidate these two subjects.  This research aims to explore how humans and leaders were conceptualized in the 2017 Jakarta Governor Election and to evaluate the consistency of these metaphors. This research employs a descriptive qualitative methodology utilizing a cognitive linguistics perspective. Data of this research were collected through reading and note-taking techniques. The data were then analyzed using referential and abductive inferential methods.  The findings of this research revealed that Ahok-Djarot conceptualized humans as buildings, containers, computers, inanimate objects, and broken entities, whereas Anies-Sandi conceptualized humans solely as buildings. In leadership discourse, Ahok-Djarot conceptualized leaders as servants, parental figures, and administrators of justice, whereas Anies-Sandi characterized leaders as role models, brothers to the people, and  courier. The Ahok-Djarot candidate pair demonstrated inconsistencies in employing their metaphor regarding these two topics.

Abstract

Budi Darma is a well-known Indonesian writer whose characters in his works frequently think, speak, make decisions, and act in an “unnatural” way or contrary to general norms. This research aims to understand and introspect the discussion on the “strangeness” of the characters in Budi Darma's short stories. Deleuze assumes that reality is generated through two production machines, namely 1) “desire” which is immanent and comes from within the subject; and 2) “axioms” or basic propositions without justification generated through the subject's hegemonic external influence. The method used is text interpretation. The study found that the “unnatural” actions of the characters were caused by the negotiation and dialectics between the characters' desires and axioms. Although the characters never actually carry out deterritorialization, the negotiations and dialectics were represented through narratives that are sceptical, cynical, and tend to be individualistic. Based on these findings, the “unnaturalness” in Budi Darma's short stories cannot simply be understood as “characters' actions that are outside the norm”, but rather as a paradox generated through the clash between desire and axiom.

Abstract

Abstract This study examined the concept of gender identity through the perspective of existentialist feminism in Okky Madasari's novel entitled Pasung Jiwa. The novel depicts the struggles of the main character, a man who feels more comfortable living as a woman, against the pressures and conflicts arising from traditional societal constraints. Using a sociological approach to literature and Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist feminism theory, this research explores how individual identity and freedom are shaped and constrained by social expectations and norms. The study found that the individual's struggle to identify and express their gender identity is often commodified by social norms and reflect the tension between individual freedom and social expectations. The method used in this research is text analysis with a focus on gender dynamics and individual freedom.

Abstract

The social concept constructed by Alan Swingewood includes literature as a reflection of society, historical relationship between social phenomena and substance of literary works, and indicator of authorship productivity. Mostly the Peranakan Chinese people’s crime themed novels published in 1924 and 1929 contain social elements formed between the position of Chinese characters in the midst of the native figures. This research is descriptive-qualitative in order to collect data and present the results of the analysis based on narrative content. The results of this study show that the literary works of the Peranakan Chinese people’s criminal narratives were written based on the real situation at that time. Meanwhile, the trigger for the productivity of criminal narratives by Peranakan Chinese writers is due to the high interest of readers to Peranakan Chinese magazines. The contribution of this research is to harmonize the narrative with the real history of the era while presenting the expertise of Chinese peranakan writers in the past.

This study aims to describe pattern of feminism stylistics through the characterization of characters in the story of Perjamuan Sunyi. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The research data are in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences in the language styles containing feminism. The data were taken from Royyan Julian’s short story “Ludah Nabi di Lidah Syekh Raba” (2019). The data were analyzed by means of Sara Mills’ feminism stylistics. The study found that the use of personification, rhetoric, paradox, hyperbole, simile, and metaphor show the author's efforts to describe women's helplessness and resistance. In addition, the language styles in the story do not only describe women's experiences in facing injustice, but also voice the expression of women who try to maintain their dignity and freedom in the inequality of social structures. This research has implications for the systematics creativity of the arrangement of literary works' stylistics in addressing the increasingly complex and challenging issue of feminism.

Abstract

Significant differences in sentence structure between Indonesian and Arabic are often the main obstacle in the process of translating Arabic texts into Indonesian. The purpose of this study is to analyze the comparison of sentence structure between Indonesian and Arabic, especially in the context of translating Arabic texts. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data collection uses a descriptive approach. The data analysis technique uses a contrastive analysis that compares the sentence structure pattern of subject + predicate + object in Indonesian and verb + subject + object in Arabic in Arabic text translation The research findings revealed that there are differences in sentence structure in which Indonesian language generally uses the pattern of subject + predicate + object (SPO) sentence pattern  more stable than Arabic which is more flexible and often uses the verb + subject + object (VSO) pattern. This difference requires a translator to adjust the word order to maintain the conformity of the meaning in the target language.

Abstract

Reading proficiency in Arabic is a fundamental and crucial skill for accessing religious texts such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and academic texts in the field of Islamic studies. This study examines strategies for teaching Arabic reading skills through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) focusing on instructional techniques, challenges faced by non-native Arabic learners, and strategies for reading religious and academic texts. The researcher had taken 14 selected articles out of 750 identified articles by means of Publish or Perish, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, and other additional tools such as Mendeley and PRISMA for descriptive analysis purpose. Based on the SLR of the 14 journal articles, it was found that problem-based methods are effective in developing students’ analytical skills, while context-based approaches support deeper understanding of verses or texts. The study also highlights the importance of utilizing modern technologies such as interactive learning applications to boost student motivation and engagement. In addition, student collaboration through group discussions has been identified as a strategy that strengthens comprehension of both academic and religious texts. However, the study also identifies shortcomings in traditional approaches that overly emphasize grammar without practical context, as well as challenges in designing adaptive learning materials. This study offers practical guidance for educators in designing teaching strategies that align with learners’ needs in the digital era, thereby addressing the challenges of Arabic language learning more effectively.

Abstract

This research aims to explain and compare the form of existentialism contained in the short story “Al-Jahim Laisa Fihi Mir'ah” by Ihsan Abdul Quddus and the drama text No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research using the reading and note-taking method. The data collection technique is carried out using the comparative literature approach which assumes that the similarity of the two works above is due to influence factors. This research found some similarities and differences between the two works. Forms of existentialism that are similar in both include: alienation, existence precedes essence, the impact of one's existence on others, and freedom and responsibility. The similarities prove that there is an influence of the short story “Al-Jahim Laisa Fihi Mir'ah” from the drama text No Exit.
