Abstract

The limited number of Arabic-to-Indonesian children's storybooks that apply communicative translation strategies poses a challenge in developing children’s literacy rich in moral values. This article aims to analyze communicative translation strategies in the children's story Bint al-Ṣabbāgh by Kamil Kailani, emphasizing acceptability and readability for young readers. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method by classifying and analyzing data based on communicative translation strategies. Ten core data segments were selected from the source text as they represent the narrative’s main structure. Each data segment was analyzed using two to three communicative translation strategies simultaneously, including ḥaẓf (omission of non-essential elements such as prepositions “di-” and “ke-”), taqdīm wa ta’khīr (shifting the order of subjects and predicates), tabdīl (substituting words for more communicative expressions), and ziyādah (adding explanatory elements relevant to the target culture). The findings indicate that communicative strategies can produce flexible, natural translations that are easily understood by children without diminishing the moral messages of the source text. Each strategy functions to adjust structure and meaning to align with the linguistic habits of Indonesian children. This study contributes to the practice of translating children's literature, especially from Arabic texts, and supports the development of educationally rich children’s books that are culturally adaptive to the target audience.

Abstract

The novel The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf tells the story of a Muslim woman, Khadra Shamy, living in a non-Muslim country, experiencing various cultural and value clashes. Mohja Kahf, the author of the novel, portrays Khadra's journey in trying to discover her true identity as a Muslim woman. This article discusses the formation of Khadra Shamy’s identity in America. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method using Stuart Hall's theory of identity. The article also takes a feminist approach to examine the issues related to women, as the process of identity formation cannot be separated from her status as a woman. The research findings show that, in her quest to find her true identity, there are barriers to women's rights, such as negative prejudice, stereotypes, the existence of a patriarchal society, and injustice. In her search for identity, she resists through several actions, including divorce, abortion, removing her hijab, and trying photography. The process of forming her identity as both an Arab and American Muslim is influenced by various factors, including the Islamic teachings from her parents, which were strict yet did not limit women’s rights, and photography, which allowed her to capture various objects and made her realize that there are many different perspectives in society.

Abstract

Saffron Dreams, written by Shaila Abdullah, is an intriguing work of fiction that tells the story of the harsh life of a Muslim woman from the East in America after the 9/11 tragedy. The double standards applied by America are not only limited to views of Muslims but extend to Eastern cultures as a whole. It is here that the Western perspective of the East, known as Orientalism, is portrayed as though the West is superior to the East. This study examines how American Orientalism and Postcolonialism influence and shape the identity dynamics of Arissa Illahi. This research employs a descriptive and qualitative method, using Edward Said's theory of Orientalism. The findings show that Arissa experiences various dynamics related to her identity, which is based on Islamic-Pakistani culture. Orientalism, within the context of American Postcolonialism, disturbs her identity as a Pakistani Muslim, leading to a series of crises and efforts at adaptation full of uncertainty. Arissa's character plays a crucial role as a representation of Muslim women, depicting the struggle of Eastern Muslim women fighting for their rights as human beings. Her struggle serves as a means of confronting Western Orientalist views, demonstrating solidarity with Muslim women from third-world countries living in America.

Abstract

This research discusses the impact of the 9/11 tragedy on Muslims in America, especially Arab-American Muslims. The two major characters as an Arab-American Muslim get bad behavior from the surrounding community who have already given bad prejudice against them. This is clear because the perpetrators of the 9/11 tragedy were Arab terrorists who acted in the name of Islam for their actions. This qualitative study uses it as a methodological framework to explore whether there is resistance from Muslims who receive bad treatment from society. The data and evidence that has been collected comes from the novel Once in a Promised Land, as well as from studies that intersect with the topic of this research. Edward Said's Orientalism Theory is used to reveal orientalist prejudice against Arab-Americans by engaging with Postcolonial Studies. The novel challenges orientalist prejudice by showing Islamic values through its major character. This resulted in findings which revealed that the bad prejudice about Islam caused by the 9/11 tragedy was countered by good character traits. Hence, the findings show that although the two major characters get a lot of prejudice and bad behavior from the surrounding community, this novel depicts them as opponents of oriental prejudice by showing the nature of Muslims which reflects the Islamic Values.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of code-switching and the factors that cause code-switching in the daily conversations of female students at Pondok Pesantren Nuruttauhid Bulukumba, South Sulawesi. Data were collected from the conversations of 20 female students during the 2021/2022 academic year using observation, interviews, and documentation methods. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results show the use of elements of Arabic, Indonesian, Bugis, and Konjo languages in the students' conversations. The forms of code-switching found include words, word repetition, phrases, and clauses. The factors causing code-switching include the use of Indonesian and regional languages in conversations, changes in situations from formal to informal, limitations in Arabic vocabulary mastery, and the tendency to communicate more quickly and practically. These findings contribute to sociolinguistic studies, particularly in the context of multilingual pesantren-based education.

Abstract

Shurfat al-‘Ār by Ibrahim Nasrallah delves into the psychological dynamics of the character Manar. In the novel, the main character, Manar, becomes a victim of rape committed by Yunus, the antagonist. This event leads to serious psychological consequences for Manar. This study explores the psychodynamics of Manar, including the dynamics of her id, ego, and superego, as well as her anxiety and defense mechanisms. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method, which includes describing the facts followed by an analysis of the text using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. The results show that the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego play a significant role in how Manar copes with her traumatic experience. The character of Manar also experiences the three types of anxiety conceptualized by Freud: objective anxiety, neurotic anxiety, and moral anxiety. The form of fear from a real threat is a result of objective anxiety, the inner pressure she feels represents neurotic anxiety, and the fear of committing wrongdoing related to morals, customs, and norms is a form of moral anxiety. The defense mechanisms that develop within Manar are her efforts to cope with the pressure and anxiety, including repression, regression, denial, sublimation, isolation, rationalization, and dissocia
