Abstract

This study employs a sociological approach to analyze Laut Bercerita, a novel by Leila S. Chudori that explores Indonesia’s socio-political struggles during the 1998 Reformation era. The research examines how the novel reflects systemic political oppression, human rights abuses, and the collective resistance of activists against an authoritarian regime. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study focuses on the experiences of Biru Laut, the central character, whose story highlights the sacrifices made by individuals fighting for democracy, freedom of expression, and justice. Despite facing state-sanctioned violence, including torture and enforced disappearances, the novel illustrates the activists’ persistent struggle against oppression. The findings reveal that Laut Bercerita serves as a medium for social critique, exposing state control mechanisms and their impact on individuals and families of the disappeared. Through its vivid depictions, the novel compels readers to acknowledge the human cost of authoritarian governance. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the role of literature in reflecting societal struggles, fostering historical awareness, and advocating for human rights. By intertwining personal and collective suffering, Laut Bercerita underscores the fragility of freedom and the enduring necessity of resisting authoritarianism

Abstract

The research examines Nadin Amizah's album 'Selamat Ulang Tahun' through an expressive approach to literary criticism, focusing on how the artist's personal experiences and emotions are reflected in her songwriting. Born in 2000 in Bandung, Nadin's background as a child of divorced parents who primarily lived with her grandmother significantly influences her musical narratives. The album, consisting of nine songs including 'Bertaut,' 'Kanyaah,' 'Paman Tua,' 'Kereta Ini Melaju Terlalu Cepat,' 'Beranjak Dewasa,' 'Taruh,' 'Cermin,' 'Mendarah,' and 'Sorak Sorai,' explores themes of maternal love, family dynamics, personal growth, and emotional healing. Through detailed analysis of each song's lyrics, the study reveals how Nadin transforms her intimate experiences into universally resonant stories. The research particularly highlights her masterful use of metaphor and imagery to convey complex emotions, as exemplified in songs like 'Bertaut,' which uses the metaphor of intertwined heartbeats to describe the mother-daughter bond, and 'Cermin,' which employs mirror imagery to explore self-reflection and healing. The study concludes that Nadin's ability to weave her personal narrative into accessible, emotionally powerful lyrics contributes significantly to the album's widespread appeal among Indonesian audiences. This analysis demonstrates how the expressive approach to literary criticism can reveal the deep connections between an artist's lived experiences and their creative output, particularly in contemporary popular music.

Abstract

Nowadays, studies on code-switching involving students have received limited focus, despite many research conducted on the university students’ code-switching. This study examines the contemporary issue of students’ barriers due to excessive dependence on code-switching in the English classroom. This phenomenological study employed a qualitative analysis technique and involved ten students from the English and Arabic departments of a state Islamic institution in East Lampung, Indonesia. The research data were acquired through observations and interviews with the participants. Additionally, the findings of this study indicate that a lot of students consider the social context, including the identity of the interlocutor and the situations code-switching occurs in the English classroom. Furthermore, most of students associated code-switching with the custom prevalent in their environment. This study also revealed that students consciously realize and admit barriers in the learning process. The barriers stem from the students’ excessive dependence on code-switching, hindering their ability to engage in tasks necessitating the usage of the target language. This study’s findings will offer significant insights for students to help reduce the continuing usage of code-switching by anticipating its future implications, which will assist lecturers in adjusting their approach to code-switching in the English learning process in each department.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between literature and society through a sociological lens, focusing on song lyrics as a medium for social critique. The songs Cerita Rakyat by Fiersa Besari, Jesika by Normatif, and Mosi Tidak Percaya by Efek Rumah Kaca serve as primary case studies to explore how socio-political and cultural contexts influence the narratives within these works. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research explores themes such as social inequality, governance, the impact of digital culture, and the pursuit of social justice. For example, Cerita Rakyat critiques the romanticization of poverty and the neglect of marginalized communities, Jesika highlights the commodification of identity in the digital age, and Mosi Tidak Percaya addresses political disappointments and systemic corruption. The analysis reveals how music acts as a mirror of social realities, amplifying pressing issues that are often ignored in political discourse. The results also show that music is not only a form of artistic expression, but also a powerful tool for building social awareness and inspiring action for social change. By integrating literary analysis with social relevance, this study highlights music's vital role in connecting individuals to contemporary issues and providing a platform for dialogue and introspection. Finally, music emerges as a potential for change, inviting listeners to engage and respond to the social challenges that affect their world

Abstract

This study analyzes the moral values both positive and negative depicted through the characters’ actions in the novel “Pukul Setengah Lima” using a pragmatic literary criticism approach. This approach helps researchers interpret the novel’s messages, allowing readers to clearly understand its moral implications. The study employs a qualitative descriptive analysis method, presenting findings through detailed written descriptions. “Pukul Setengah Lima” is a romance novel by the well-known young writer Rintik Sendu. It narrates the love story of a woman and an adult man while exploring various personal and professional conflicts. The novel conveys both commendable moral values that can be applied in real life and negative moral lessons that serve as warnings for readers. Through character analysis, this study identifies negative moral values such as low self-esteem, dishonesty, domestic violence, and betrayal. Conversely, it highlights positive values, including compassion, resilience in facing life’s challenges, and filial piety toward parents. These values are examined through character dialogues and the author's narrative descriptions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how literature conveys moral teachings through character interactions and storytelling. Expanding on the pragmatic literary criticism approach with specific examples enhances the clarity of the study’s findings.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the psychological depth of Oba Yozo, the protagonist in Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human, through the lens of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. Specifically, it focuses on the concepts of the id, ego, and superego to analyze how these psychological components influence Yozo's behavior, thoughts, and actions throughout the novel. The primary purpose of this research is to understand the underlying psychological dynamics that drive Yozo’s sense of alienation, self-doubt, and his inability to conform to societal expectations. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a content analysis approach to examine textual evidence from the novel. Key passages are identified and categorized according to Freud’s model of the psyche, allowing for an in-depth exploration of the protagonist's internal conflict. The findings reveal that Yozo’s behavior is largely driven by the id's impulsive desires and the ego's attempts to mediate between these urges and the moral constraints imposed by the superego. The analysis also demonstrates how Yozo’s inability to achieve balance between these components leads to his profound sense of despair, isolation, and eventual tragic fate. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the psychological complexities of No Longer Human, providing a fresh perspective on the novel’s portrayal of existential struggles and the human condition. By applying Freud’s psychoanalysis, this study sheds light on the ways in which unconscious drives shape literary characters and their interactions with the world around them.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the main character of the novel, Nora, by examining how she describes and reacts to her problems, which are influenced by her mental health, regret, and sadness. The study employs a qualitative descriptive analysis using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory as a psychological approach to explore the development of the character's psychological state. The data for this research were collected from The Midnight Library by Matt Haig through careful and repeated reading, followed by note-taking of relevant passages. The primary data source consists of quotations from the novel, while secondary sources include theoretical references related to psychology and literature. The researcher analyzes the selected quotations in relation to Freud's theory of literary psychology. The findings reveal three defense mechanisms that significantly affect the protagonist’s personality: displacement, repression, and projection. Additionally, the study identifies three levels of consciousness—id, ego, and superego—experienced by Nora throughout the narrative. Therefore, the research highlights that practicing self-acceptance and confronting personal issues can have a profound impact on one’s life, influencing how individuals respond to challenges, go through daily life, and embrace personal growth. This can ultimately lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling future.
