Abstract

This research aims to understand the meaning of the concept of a transformation work in the era of globalization, namely the novel Arok-Dedes that took the background of Pararaton folklore creation. The novel of Arok-Dedes fought against the characterization of the characters and events in the Pararaton folklore. Thus, the problem is the deconstruction of narrative structures or storytelling structures. The novel was analyzed using the intertextual theory with qualitative methods. The result of the research shows that Arok-Dedes novel is a social critic aimed at the New Order ruler. On the basis of the text of transformation, the state of Indonesia requires a wise leader figure, concerned with the welfare of the people, not self-interest or group interests alone. In the era of globalization, selecting a state leader must be selective, it means having to look at the back-ground of his life, his descendants, his behavior; a leader may not be selected through coup d’etat, treason or passing the buck.
