“Writing Home”: Storytelling as Cultural Translation in Jolyn Phillips’s ,i>Tjieng Tjang Tjerries

In this article, I discuss the mixture of English and Afrikaans that Jolyn Phillips employs in her short story collection, Tjieng Tjang Tjerries, to capture a sense of the idiom and the lived realities of the coloured fishing community of Gansbaai in the Western Cape. In addition, I locate the collection within a tradition of short story sequences by women writers from marginalized groups, and focus on the ways in which the interlinked narratives it contains emphasize the notion that personal identity, community and place are inextricably connected. Ultimately, I maintain that, despite the bleak socioeconomic circumstances, alcoholism and abuse that Phillips depicts in many of the stories, the dominant tone of the collection is not one of disenchantment with contemporary South African realities. This is because of the gentleness and affection with which Phillips treats her subjects, and the gleeful brand of raunchily direct humour she injects into her stories.

Representasi Superioritas Tokoh Perempuan dalam Novel Tango dan Sadimin Karya Ramayda Akmal

This study aims to describe the superiority of female characters in the novel Tango and Sadimin by Ramayda Akmal. The approach used in the study is the approach of radical feminism which emphasizes the superiority of women in the reality of literary works. The data source of this study is the novel Tango and Sadimin by Ramayda Akmal. The research data is in the form of story units or story sequences related to the superiority of female characters in the novel. Data analysis technique is done by content analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing stages as the final stage of the study. The results of the study are as follows. First, the form of superiority of women in the public sphere is characterized by all the activities carried out outside the home that are earning a living to make ends meet, establishing cooperation to build a business, being able to live independently, and becoming the backbone of the family. Secondly, the superiority of women in the domestic realm is illustrated through women's responsibilities in taking care of the household, caring for and giving love, and being able to guide their children to become a better person.

Intersectional identities of Nyai and their resistance to oppressiveness in Indonesian short stories

The dominant values of colonialism influenced indigenous society in defining the status of women and worsening their treatment. This influence can be seen in the concubinage system experienced by the nyai. The figure of nyai not only received systemic oppression, but was also portrayed badly through colonial-era literature. In contrast to colonial-era literature, Indonesian literature in the postcolonial era tries to represent the figure of nyai with her intersectional identity, as well as reveal their resistance to the patterns of systemic oppression experienced in the concubinage system. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative research design. This research design aims to describe the intersectional identity of nyai and their resistance to forms of oppressiveness in Indonesian short stories. The data and information found from the selected short stories will be interpreted qualitatively using Kimberle Crenshaw's intersectionality perspective. The data sources are selected porpusively, namely Indonesian short stories that represent nyai and concubinage in the Dutch East Indies, including (1) Stambul dua Pedang (2013), (2) Racun untuk Tuan (2011), and (3) Keringat dan Susu (2010), all three by Iksaka Banu, and (4) Kutukan Dapur (2003) by Eka Kurniawan. The data are in the form of story facts that include story sequences, characters, settings, themes, and other literary means from data sources that contain information related to the research problem. The data was obtained using reading and note-taking techniques. Furthermore, it was analyzed qualitatively by using Crenshaw's intersectionality perspective. The results of this study show that the intersectionality identity of the nyai in the four short stories above is a woman with charming physique and skills, colonized indigenous race, poverty and low social class, patriarchal system, and colonial system. The oppressions found are intimidation, expulsion, denial of rights as a woman, and murder. The resistance found is utilizing one's own skills, help from other parties, enjoying the role and surrendering to the situation.Keywords: Intersectional identity, resistance, oppression, subaltern, Crenshaw

Analisis keterampilan bercerita pada materi cerita rakyat bahasa jawa kelas iv sekolah dasar

<p>This study aims to: 1) describe the analysis of the storytelling skills of students; 2) mention the obstacles experienced by students in storytelling skills; and 3) describe solutions to overcome the obstacles experienced in storytelling skills. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. The subjects of this study were fourth grade students of SD Negeri Sukorejo Klaten. Research data were collected through data collection techniques of observation, interviews and document studies. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model. The results showed that the fourth grade students of SD Negeri Sukorejo Klaten in analyzing storytelling skills on Javanese folklore material were still less successful in the aspects of voice volume, expression suitability, story sequence logic suitability, and fluency. Constraints experienced by students in storytelling activities are not confident, not brave, afraid of making mistakes, nervous, embarrassed, unable to express expressions, and making class noise. The solution is to do active and fun learning as well as habituation to students to be confident and dare to appear so that the obstacles experienced during storytelling can be overcome.</p>

How does Newman analyze student errors when solving BADER story problems?

The lack of interest in reading hurts students when it is brought into the learning process. Negative learning behavior like this makes students reluctant to read even questions with long text or description questions or story questions. The purpose of this study was to identify the extent to which students made common mistakes made by students as well as students' understanding of the concepts involved in solving problems of arithmetic sequences and series. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. The research subjects consisted of 10 MA class students at Madrasah Aliyah. The data were obtained by observing the results of students' answers in solving story problems on arithmetic sequences and series. Error analysis was carried out by identifying the completion steps carried out by students and referring to the error indicators adjusted for Newman's analysis. The analysis showed that students needed to improve in solving story sequences and arithmetic series problems. The most common type of error is the encoding error. In other words, the errors made by students included errors in reading the questions, understanding the problem, transforming, processing skills, and encoding.

The Emergence of the Short Story Cycle in Canada: Alice Munro's Short Story Cycles as a Case Study

Alice Munro’s Lives of Girls and Women and The Beggar Maid: Stories of Flo and Rose are two literaryworks that hardly fit into one single literary category. Critics of all quarters are at one and of the same mind as to the slippery and elusive nature of Alice’s art. However, despite being approached by some critics as a collection of short stories, Alice’s narrative seems to embody a sub-genre that is particular of the Canadian literary tradition, which is the short story cycle. Also known as the composite or episodic novel, the story collection or the linked stories, this genre could be briefly defined as a sequence of short stories that are linked through a unifying element, like a character, the setting or the story. Characterized, as it is, with its fragmentary nature and its openness, this genre compels its researcher to look into its origins and its implications at the level of content. Few studies have been carried on this genre to provide the necessary grounds for an elaborate research on it. Forrest L. Ingram’s work Representative Short Story Cycles of the Twentieth Century is the first academic work that provides a consistent definition for the short story cycle as a genre. On the other hand, Gerald Lynch’s The One and the Many: English-Canadian Short Story Cycles examines the sine qua non tension between the parts and the whole of the versatile form of the short story cycle in Canada. With reference to Alice Munro’s Lives of Girls and Women and The Beggar Maid as two representatives of the short story cycle, I attempt to examine the inscription of this sub-genre, and map its evolutionover the last centuries in Canadian literature.Keywords: Short story cycle, genre studies, Canadian literature

KEKERASAN SIMBOLIK DALAM NOVEL LUKA PEREMPUAN ASAP KARYA NAFI’AH AL-MA’RAB: PERSPEKTIF SOSIOLOGI SASTRA

Symbolic violence is violence that occurs subtly and unconsciously, so that there is no resistance from the party being dominated. The objectives of this study were (1) to describe the form of symbolic violence and (2) to describe the factors of symbolic violence in the novel Luka Perempuan Asap by Nafi'ah Al-Ma'rab in the perspective of sociological literature. This study uses a sociological literary approach that focuses on symbolic violence according to Pierre Bourdieu. The source of research data is the novel Luka Perempuan Asap by Nafi'ah Al-Ma'rab. The research data is in the form of story sequences such as narratives, sentences, and paragraphs that represent symbolic violence. The results showed that (1) forms of symbolic violence were characterized by euphemization and censorship mechanisms. The forms of euphemization mechanisms include obligation, efficiency, image, bonus giving, trust, and kindness. Meanwhile, the forms of sensory mechanism are in the form of marginalization, coercion, threats, and disappointments. (2) The factors causing symbolic violence in the novel Luka Perempuan Asap by Nafi'ah Al-Ma'rab are due to economic capital in the form of money, cultural capital in the form of achievement, while symbolic capital is in the form of titles and social status.

Weaving a Storytelling Tapestry Using Computational Thinking

Computational thinking is a way of formulating a problem so that a computer can find a solution. It involves looking for patterns within multiple sets of data and using algorithmic thinking to find solutions. In this way, it becomes a critical literacy for future-ready youth. In this paper the authors share partial results from a National Forum on Computational Thinking funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, explaining computational thinking, exploring cross-cultural connections of the story sequence, and sharing how computational thinking can be used to create and analyze a story within the context of this story sequence.

Collaborative storytelling with a person with aphasia

Introduction: This study explores practices employed by a person with aphasia (PWA) and his wife to organize collaborative storytelling in a multiparty interaction. We identify practices that further the PWA’s agency – his impact on action – while he is telling a story together with his wife. Method: Using conversation analysis (CA), we carried out a case study of a successful storytelling sequence involving a 39-year-old man with anomic aphasia during a conversation with friends. Analysis: The PWA contributed to the storytelling by initiating the story sequence and by producing short but significant utterances in which he provided essential information and displayed epistemic authority. The spouse aligned with the PWA’s initiated actions and supported his agency by giving him room to speak, for example, by gaze retraction. Discussion: The analysis offers insight into practices that allowed this PWA to achieve agency. Our findings show that communication partner training could benefit from implementing activities such as collaborative storytelling.

MUSEUM KOMIK DI BANJARBARU

Indonesian comics have a long and growing history in very diverse categories and had played an important role in the past as a medium for visual communication in Indonesia. The problems faced are reintroducing the diversity of the history of comics in Indonesia from the beginning to the present through the design of the museum in chronological storytelling spaces. The method for solving the problem is by using the symbolic analogy method, by analogizing the main part of the comic, namely the story panels as spaces, the trenches between panels as circulation between spaces, and the relationship between panels as story sequences. The concept of sequences between panels with breaks in the form of trenches is an option in producing designs, namely connecting spaces and spaces that are different from each other with a linear and chronological circulation.

The Role of the Cerebellum in Social and Non-Social Action Sequences: A Preliminary LF-rTMS Study.

An increasing number of studies demonstrated the involvement of the cerebellum in (social) sequence processing. The current preliminary study is the first to investigate the causal involvement of the cerebellum in sequence generation, using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS). By targeting the posterior cerebellum, we hypothesized that the induced neuro-excitability modulation would lead to altered performance on a Picture and Story sequencing task, which involve the generation of the correct chronological order of various social and non-social stories depicted in cartoons or sentences. Our results indicate that participants receiving LF-rTMS over the cerebellum, as compared to sham participants, showed a stronger learning effect from pre to post stimulation for both tasks and for all types of sequences (i.e. mechanical, social scripts, false belief, true belief). No differences between sequence types were observed. Our results suggest a positive effect of LF-rTMS on sequence generation. We conclude that the cerebellum is causally involved in the generation of sequences of social and nonsocial events. Our discussion focuses on recommendations for future studies.

Pemanfaatan Media Gambar Seri Dalam Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Cerita Pada Peserta Didik Kelas IV SDN 2 Jatiimarto

In general, story writing skills for elementary school students in Indonesia are still low. This study aims to analyze the skills of writing stories using picture series media. Image series is a collection of several images that are interconnected meanings between images with one another. These pictures form a story when combined and sequenced systematically so that it becomes a meaningful and meaningful sequence of stories or essays. The research was carried out from August to October 2019. The research subjects were fourth grade students at SDN 2 Jatimarto, Ngadirojo District, Wonogiri Regency. The number of students as many as 9 people consisting of 6 male students and 3 female students. The type of data collected in this study is the value of student learning outcomes in writing stories. Data collection techniques used in this study were documentation, observation, and tests. The documentation used is in the form of collecting data on the results of learning to write stories when no action has been taken (initial conditions). Observations contain notes that describe how students' skills in learning to write stories are. Tests are used to measure basic abilities and achievement or learning outcomes. The conclusion of this research is that there is an increase in story writing skills in learning using serial images.

PESAN MORAL DIBALIK KISAH NABI MUSA DAN NABI KHIDIR DALAM QS. AL-KAHFI

The story of Prophet Musa and Prophet Khidir is one of the stories that is quite representative of the stories contained in the Al-Qur'an. The narrative description in the Al- Qur'an is certainly interesting to study. In presenting the story, al-Qur'an often uses metaphorical language and analogy which is alleged to be able to bridge the limited human ratio with the language of the al-Qur'an which is completely unlimited. This article examined the moral message behind the story of Prophet Musa & Prophet Khidir according to Fakhruddin al-Razi in his Tafsir, Mafa> tih al-Ghayb. This research was included in the literature review which was presented using the maudu'i interpretation method and Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutic approach. Based on the search, it was found that in interpreting this story, al-Razi considered a number of aspects such as internal relationships (aspects of munasabah) and the external context of the text (asbabun nuzul). In addition, based on Gadamer's theory of historical consciousness (awareness of historical influences), al-Razi was still influenced by his background as an ash'ariyyah. The reinterpretation of three important events in this story sequence shows the moral message of the story about the importance of tawadu’(humility), so that humans are always able to guard their behaviuor from being arrogant (takabbur), be patient in facing all tests and are determined.
