Abstract

This study addresses the destabilization of moral frameworks among youth in contemporary Islamic societies, a phenomenon accelerated by rapid digitization. We investigate how the structural and stylistic mechanisms of traditional oral poetry can serve as pedagogical instruments to build ethical resilience among Gen Z and millennial cohorts in modern Aceh. Methodologically, the inquiry adopts a qualitative descriptive design grounded in pedagogical stylistics to conduct a close textual analysis of twenty purposively sampled advice quatrains from the Bunga Rampai Maluku Kie Raha anthology. Our analytical framework evaluates these texts across specific operational metrics: phonology, syntax, and conceptual metaphor. The empirical results reveal that the rigid structural blueprint of the quatrain, particularly the architectural division between the foreshadowing lines (sampiran) and the semantic core (isi), functions as an efficient cognitive delivery system that optimizes mnemonic retention. Additionally, the deliberate deployment of high-impact lexical markers combined with abrupt interrogative rhetorical shifts elevates generic ethical advice into absolute behavioral boundaries. These boundaries directly reinforce Acehnese socio-legal norms. Consequently, curriculum designers and language educators in Aceh can leverage trans-regional oral literatures to diversify character education frameworks, offering a vital alternative as localized oral traditions fade from daily usage. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that UNESCO-recognized traditional poetic structures operate not merely as historical artifacts, but as dynamic socio-pedagogical interventions capable of maintaining ethical stability during acute cultural transitions.

Abstract

The turn of the twentieth century in the Dutch East Indies was characterized by a rigid colonial diglossia and deeply entrenched indigenous patriarchal structures that severely gatekept formal education from women. While traditional scholarship evaluates early feminist movements through isolated socio-historical or biographical lenses, this study addresses a distinct research gap by exploring the trans-regional sociolinguistic dimensions of female resistance. The primary objective is to investigate how language variation, stratified honorifics, and institutional registers are deployed as instruments of defiance in E. Rokajat Asura’s biographical novel Raden Dewi Sartika, drawing conceptual parallelisms with historical Acehnese female discourse. Utilizing a qualitative literary-sociolinguistic framework grounded in Dell Hymes’ ethnography of communication and Mikhail Bakhtin’s heteroglossia, this research evaluates dialogue sequences and narrative prose at a fine granularity. The findings reveal that characters strategically manipulate formal, elite registers and indigenous honorific systems to maintain surface-level compliance while successfully executing subversive institutional demands. This micro-linguistic negotiation directly parallels the historical socio-political discourse of aristocratic female figures in Aceh who appropriated customary speech to command authority. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that early Indonesian female agency relied on the tactical mastery of existing linguistic hierarchies to subvert oppression. These insights offer a novel trans-regional model that enriches the academic understanding of language, gender, and institutional autonomy across the shared socio-cultural landscape of Aceh and the wider Indonesian archipelago.

Abstract

The emergence of Angkatan 45 (the Generation of 1945) marks a critical milestone in the evolutionary trajectory of modern Indonesian literature, characterized by a radical departure from colonial and classical aesthetic constraints. While mainstream literary histories frequently examine this linguistic revolution through a centralized, macro-national lens, few studies investigate how regional identities, specifically the sociopolitical and cultural landscape of Aceh, intersected with this structural transformation. This study investigates the distinct poetic characteristics, philosophical conceptions, and structural dynamics of Angkatan 45 poetry by contextualizing its development within the historical consciousness and resilient cultural framework of Acehnese society during the revolutionary period. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design integrated with a critical historiographical review and micro-level structural textual analysis, this research analyzes the dual ideological pillars of Expressionism and Realism across selected poetic texts and the cultural manifesto of the Surat Kepercayaan Gelanggang. The findings reveal that the aesthetic deconstruction enacted by Angkatan 45, characterized by raw syntactic economy and colloquial diction, was deeply informed by peripheral struggles, where regional cultural symbols and islamic humanism served as vitalist markers of anti-colonial defiance. Ultimately, this paper highlights the pedagogical and socio-cultural value of preserving this decentralized literary genealogy, demonstrating how a period of intense high-stakes crisis successfully revolutionized the linguistic, semantic, and inclusive fabric of modern Indonesian discourse while preserving local cultural sovereignty.
