Abstract
This paper aims to provide a heroism mythological reflection on the journey of researchers. This study uses the qualitative case study to obtain the comprehension of researchers' metaphor journeys through Monomyth on their research experiences. The documentary analysis is used in this qualitative study with the reflexive narrative because the reflection on experience can help the reader to gain insight into the researcher and their approach during the journey. 15 researcher’s literacy narratives chosen in this study which consists of 8 published literacy narratives and 7 literacy narratives task from participants. Research itself often considered as a journey that extends the existing knowledge and also develops new knowledge of the researcher while wandering in the wilderness of knowledge. Along the way, the researchers with their literacy narratives in this study unconsciously have a similar mythical pattern story as like as the mythical heroes which Campbell (1949) term it as ‘Monomyth’ pattern. The result presented in this paper may facilitate the literate improvements in which to motivate, to help the novice researcher to understand their own hero’s journey and to educate them about the stages that they will experience such as their new transition of conducting their new research.
Highlights
Literature is commonly represented 'heroism which inseparable from human being’s lives through stories or literary works
Campbell (1949) explains that each journey has its own transition process where the main characters change from their status quo or save zone and jump into unfamiliar special word, return to their ordinary world
Since literary works are the mirror of human life, the process of the hero’s transition during the journey reflects humankind
Summary
Literature is commonly represented 'heroism which inseparable from human being’s lives through stories or literary works. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Hero’s Journey through Literature and Education Campbell as the one who coined the theory of Hero’s journey (1949) explores a series of the interconnected stage in the universe of legends, folktales, myths, literature and found that they have a similar pattern where their heroes or the main characters always begin their stories in a stage of unknowing or status quo. This stage is disrupted by some events and leads the hero into the decision or call to adventure on a journey where the main characters encounter their trials and test. If those heroes can conquer their problems and fears, they come back to their ordinary world with “the power to bestow boons”
