Pelatihan Penulisan Cerita Lokal Bergenre Magis di Komunitas Sastra Darussalam

Abstract

The third-year of service activities (2021) at the Komunitas Sastra Darussalam were centered on training in writing local stories of the magical genre. Komunitas Sastra Darussalam has the potential to maximize the pesantren’s cultural background as the basis for their writing, such as through the genre of magical realism which is considered very close to their lives. Through training and mentoring held by the service community team, it is expected that they will ignite their ability to continue developing to compete at the national or global level. In the first year (2019), activities are focused on developing story ideas that produce mini-fictions about life with a pesantren background. In the second year (2020), service participants received training on writing realism genre literary works. So, in the third year (2021), the activities focused on the story’s substance, that is rewriting local stories (folklore) with the magical genre. From this training and mentoring that has been carried out, it was found that the tendency of writing local stories by KSD writers has shown its magical side. The stories explored by the participants were quite diverse, not only tending to explore local stories, but the participants also showed their tendencies as a pesantren community, some of them took stories with a magical substance that developed in Islam.
