Abstract

Oral tradition is considered as one of some enriched Indonesian cultures that have been preserved from former generation to the following ones. It also provides a great deal of opportunity to be studied in the scope of literary studies with various approaches. One oral tradition that owns these characteristics is the Batanghari Sembilan art songs that originated from the South Sumatra region. This study aims to find out the similarities and differences between two Batanghari Sembilan art songs entitled Iluk Pule and Umak di Doson, Bapak Jao, which can be seen from the formula and formulaic structures as well as the indications of desire found in the composition of the text through Lacan's psychoanalytic perspective. Qualitative research methods and content analysis were carried out to analyze the data in the form of the structure of the formula and the concept of desire found in the sentences of the Batanghari Sembilan oral text. The results of the study highlight the similarities of the types of formulas found in the two songs, namely the presence of morphological formulas, alliterations, tautotes and phonemic formulas, and the absence of anaphora and anadiplosis formulas in Umak in Doson, Bapak Jao. Some repetitive words are acknowledged as an attempt to emphasize the meaning and promote the songs’ originality. In addition, the two songs have different desires, namely the desire to have a lover and the desire to live together with parents. The similarity found in the two songs is the positioning of the mother's wishes as a substitute for one's own desires which are conveyed by the individual metonymically.

University branding is obligatory to publicize their existence and values, which differ from competitors, whether in scientific values or other elements. However, sometimes stakeholders to not understand the "branding map" of the competitors surrounding campuses. This study aims to reveal the university's branding using the concept of archetypes written by Mark and Pearson. Twelve archetypes are commonly used for branding: the innocent, the explorer, the sage, the hero, the outlaw, the magician, the regular guy, the lover, the jester, the caregiver, the creator, and the ruler. The data in this research is in the form of text and pictures taken from logos, slogans, visions, and missions of 13 Islamic universities under the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The study shows that nine of the twelve archetypes appear in Islamic universities. The nine archetypes are the sage, the caregiver, the creator, the explorer, the hero, the innocent, the ruler, the regular guy, and the lover. Each Islamic University has multiple archetypes at once. Therefore, campus branding used in marketing and publication programs can use the most dominating archetypes.
