Abstract

This study focuses on describing the relationships in virtual spaces as a result of the impact of the changes in the pandemic. The changes are in terms of activities carried out by the Student Activity Unit of Matapena of Faculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Brawijaya (henceforth, FCS UB) in virtual spaces. In this case, there were some adaptations carried out by the organization. By applying a theory by Marvin Harris about Cultural Materialism, this study revealed the mode of production in the form of changes that affect the social structure. In addition, the changes also influenced the community consumers in cultural materialism. By using an ethnographic method, it observed their adaptation process. The results of this study showed that there was a process of changing cultural ethics during virtual performing art activities and there were various kinds of adaptations made to certain conditions. Moreover, material needs during the activities were also tailored to the conditions at the time of crisis. Despite these changes, they did not remove the essence of the events in the virtual spaces.

Abstract

This article compares the representations of gender dynamics in a medieval English tale, Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Knight’s Tale, an Indonesian translation of Paraton, a medieval Javanese text, and its twenty-first century Indonesian adaptation, Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Arok Dedes, which is translated in English as Arok of Java: A Novel of Early Indonesia. The feminist reading of the three texts aims to analyze the treatment of gender in patriarchal society in medieval and modern eras, both in Western and Eastern culture, to show the social constancy and variety of patriarchy that positions women as the Other. The two medieval literary works share similar assigned gender roles that position women in a more passive and submissive stand amidst political upheaval and power struggles. Arok of Java challenges such representation and gives more agency to the female characters. However, those three literary works show how patriarchy lingers across space and time that makes female agency and women’s power almost possible, albeit hard to maintain.

The discussion will comprise aspects of English related to phonology, morphology, syntax, semanctics, and pragmatics. Pieces of evidence presented in the discussion of the topic will answer what ‘kind’ of science English is.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the Dayak Ngaju students’ attitudes towards their mother tongue, the Ngaju language, and the factors affecting the attitudes. Following Fasold (1984) and Jendra (2012), a qualitative  analysis of  interviews with selected subjects was conducted after  the questionnaires were distributed to the  respondents. The questionnaire respondents were 30 college students of Dayak Ngaju ethnicity, 9 of which were interviewed to corroborate their answers to the questionnaire. The results revealthe students’ positive attitudes towards the Ngaju language. The students’ positive attitudes were influenced by two factors: (a) the language's power and prestige, and (b) the language’s internal system. The respondents considered the Ngaju language as an important part of their community because the language reflects the Dayak Ngaju people’s cultural identity despite the challenges the speakers of the language might have when communicating in their mother tongue. Thus, language preservation is needed.

Abstract

This study reveals the relationship between the plot, characterizations, point of view, and symbols-allegory in the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. Through the psychoanalytic approach proposed by Carl Gustav Jung, this qualitative research also looks at the correlation between the utopian delusions that occur in the story. Based on the results of the textual analysis, it was found that the utopian delusion relation was found in three parts, including (1) the delusion of fidelity to tradition, (2) the delusion of time, and (3) the delusion of utopia. The application of psychoanalytic theory will propose a different point of view from previous studies which are still more focused only on the symbol-irony relation of tradition. In fact, the conflict, setting, actions of the characters, and symbols in the story are related to the human subconscious which requires perfection of action that results in delusions.
