Literature As A Source For History; The Case Of The "Repen Ripangi" (1886), Willem Van Der Molen Oct 2008

Literature As A Source For History; The Case Of The "Repen Ripangi" (1886), Willem Van Der Molen

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Teks sejarah berbeda dengan teks sastra. Teks sejarah menceritakan apa yang benar-benar terjadi di masa lalu sementara teks sastra tidaklah demikian. Oleh karena itu, sejarawan sering menghindari penggunaan teks sastra dalam penelitian mereka. Saya berargumen bahwa teks sastra dapat menambahkan dimensi lain pada wawasan sejarah, yang tidak ditemukan dalam dokumen sejarah. Analisis puisi Jawa berjudul Repen Ripangi dari abad kesembilan belas menunjukkan bahwa teks ini, selain memberikan laporan yang sangat menarik tentang pendamaian ideologis seorang reformis muslim, juga membuka jalan bagi penulisnya dalam menyuarakan kritiknya terhadap kekuasaan kolonial Belanda.

This article attempts to give a brief picture about the genre and themes in the Dutch-Indies Literature from the VOC period.

In addition, a successful landing on the shores of the East did not always ensure a friendly reception. Due to these obstacles which they encountered, only a small number of those who had set sail from Europe were able to …

Menghapus Citra Buruk Njai Dalam Karya-Karya Fiksi Berbahasa Melayu (1896-1927), Maya Sutedja-Liem

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

In the Dutch colonial literature of the mid nineteenth century, the njai (Asian concubine) is the symbol of degeneration and of undermining colonial society in the Dutch Indies. Opposed to this portrayal, in Malay literature the image of the njai is on the whole positive: she is faithful and loyal to her partner, intelligent, and economical. However, she easily falls victim to external powers, which is often the masculine power of the society she belongs to. In many Malay texts she is represented as ready to fight back, primarily for the sake of the future of her offspring(s) or herself. …

Ketika Perempuan Lantang Menentang Poligami; Sebuah Analisis Wacana Kritis Tentang Wacana Antipoligami, Untung Yuwono

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) has become a very influential interdisciplinary approach, which views a discourse as a form of social practice. Antipoligamy discourse, as a social practice persisted for a long time ago in Indonesia, offers chalenging discussions in the perspective of CDA. Teun van Dijk, as one of the pioneers of CDA, articulates ideology as the basis of the social representations of groups. Furthermore, he advocates a sociocognitive interface between social structures and discourse structures. Within these views, whenever social groups, including the producers of antipoligamy texts, voice their ideas and feelings, their ideology come up apparently or, otherwise, …

Urak Lawoi' yang berarti 'orang laut' adalah nama suku nelayan pengembara laut yang tersebar di Pulau Phuket (Thailand) dan Kepulauan Adang di sebelah selatannya.

Indonesian Teachers' And Students' Preferences For Error Correction, Sisilia S. Halimi

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Walaupun hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manfaat koreksi kesalahan pada tulisan siswa bertentangan satu dengan yang lain, pengajar bahasa tidak dapat berhenti mengoreksi kesalahan-keslahan karena siswa sendiri menginginkan pengajar mengoreksi kesalahan-kesalahan mereka (Walz 1982).

Co-articulation between the culture of development (which has the tendency for uniformity) and the …
