Abstract

The pastoral genre traditionally presents an idealized, static landscape where nature and romance are perceived as immune to the inevitable passage of time. This research explores the intertextual confrontation between Christopher Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” and Sir Walter Raleigh’s “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd.” The primary objective is to investigate how Raleigh utilizes formal mimicry to systematically deconstruct the pastoral myths established by Marlowe’s original verses. Drawing upon intertextual theories and deconstruction framework, this study employs a qualitative-content analysis method to analyze the intricate structural and semantic shifts between the two canonical poems. The study demonstrates that while Raleigh adopts Marlowe’s formal structure, he strategically subverts the time paradox that Marlowe proposed. By exposing the hidden aporia within Marlowe’s utopian promises, Raleigh proves that the material and botanical imagery of the shepherd are inherently fragile and self-destructive when confronted with reality. The implication of this study is that Raleigh’s response serves as a sophisticated meta-criticism of the linguistic instability found in classical pastoral rhetoric. It is hoped that this research will encourage future literary studies to further examine the role of counter-narratives in dismantling established generic conversations through the lens of empirical realism and temporal logic.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the translation procedures applied in rendering culture-specific items (CSI) in the English translation of the Indonesian comedy film entitled Cek Toko Sebelah by Ernest Prakasa. The theory of translation procedure proposed by Newmark is used as the theoretical framework of this research. This research uses qualitative research, and the method used is descriptive research. The data were classified by identifying and analyzing the procedures used to render culture-specific items (CSI) in the film’s English translation based on Newmark’s theory. The findings show that 50 culture specific items (CSI) were found. The most frequently discovered category of CSI is Social Culture, with 35 data or (70 %) from the total data, whereas the least discovered category of CSI is Ecology with only 2 data or (4%) from the total data. Among the twelve procedures suggested by the theory, only five procedures are applied in rendering the translation. The most used procedure is Cultural Equivalent with 25 data or (50%). The second most used procedure is Neutralization with 14 data (28%). The third most used procedure is Literal Translation with 5 data (10%). And the two least used procedures are Transference with 4 data (8%) and Couplet with 2 data (4%).
