Nationality Education Based on Literary Works Case Studies of 19th-Century Indonesian Modern Literature

The learning of Indonesian nationality has been focused on understanding the formality of values in ideology, state forms, or forms of government without looking at the lower-layer network consisting of individuals who interact with each other, build events, and form stories, through language. This review is based on Ben Anderson's conception of the nation as an imagined community. Through the object of study of modern Indonesian literature of the 19th century, the nationality that was discovered was not to reinforce the stigma that already existed but instead wanted to prove that the idea of nationality was so fluid, dynamic, and always open to being reinterpreted. The objects of study were Sair Kadatangan Sri Maharaja Siam in Betawi (1870), Sair Jalan Kreta Api (1890) by Tan Teng Kie, Sair from Hal Datangja Poetra Makoeta Keradjaan Roes in Betawi (1891), Sair Kembang (1898), and Njai Dasima (1900). The study uses the semiotic method to offer a single national learning model through literary works. Because, more than just expressing the idea that "language forms a nation" on the one hand, on the other hand, modern Indonesian literature of the 19th century is a medium between fossils of the past and the purpose of the present. Each of those sides leads to the conclusion that nationality is not an inanimate object, a meaningless inscription, but the opposite; something that is evolving, pliable, and always makes room for new interpretations.

 Methods: The study involved monitoring and analyzing signs and symbols in order to achieve the desired goals relying on the semiotic method.
 Results: The title suggests a double psychological sense. The first sense indicates sorrow and grief over the failure to perform good deeds and the excessive commitment to sins. The second sense suggests joy and pleasure through guidance and piety, but the underlying structure reveals the power of pressing passions and their alluring impulses. The study also revealed that the poet is still haunted by aberration, misguidance, and deviant ideas. The intertextual structure indicated that Al-Dailami's conversion to Islam was merely a step towards Shiism. The conclusion embodies the poet's greed and his eagerness for gain, even at the expense of principles and ideas.

The alignment between the opening and the conclusion confirms Al-Dailami's greed for the benefits bestowed upon him by the person he praises in his eulogies.

Baznīca, biedrības un krogs – trīs atšķirīgi lokusi un socializācijas veidi Augusta Deglava romānā “Rīga”

In the novel “Riga” by Augusts Deglavs (1862–1922), places (space, object, geographical location) are carriers of important and varied meaning. In these meaningful places or loci, the issues that are important both for the respective individuals and their societies are being actualised and resolved. Taking into account that the aforementioned novel essentially depicts a society permeated by colonial and patriarchal relationships, it is in these loci that a differing model of socialisation and important oppositions in terms of power relations are manifested. From the wide catalogue of objects, three types of spaces and the related social organisations and types of interactions will be discussed: pub, church and associations (also known as societies). The least restrained and dynamic from the aforementioned are different associations that became popular in Latvian circles in the last decades of the 19th century. Employing the semiotic method and Pitirim Sorokin’s (1889–1968) theory of social mobility, the meaning of the loci in regard to the colonial structure and the ability of the actors of the colonial situation to change their standing in the society is outlined.

In his research, Sergey Sergeevich uses the terms "semiotics", "sign", "sign system", "structure", "context", "representation", "meaning", the concept of "word function" with varying degrees of intensity, which are characteristic of semiotics as a science. S.S. Averintsev touches on philosophical and ideological themes. It concerns such philosophical concepts and topics as being, ontology, anthropology, goodness, transcendence, otherness, meaning.

Averintsev reveals the correlation of the existence of society with the iconic universe. Being itself is a philosophical concept. Averintsev's work shows how meanings affect signs and the life of society, and at the same time, how signs themselves create new meanings.The Christian worldview presupposes such a view of man and society, in which a person in his unity with God is thought of as a being with the highest value and dignity in the created world.
