Abstract

This article analyzes four Japanese folk tales (myths) using the unconscious structures approach pioneered by Lévi-Strauss to uncover the connections between these myths and the unconscious structures of the society that holds them. The first step is to find the outer structures of the four analyzed myths and analyze them both synchronically and diachronically to find their component mythemes. The second step is to analyze and identify the inner structures of these mythemes. These inner structures can then be refined into a series of binary oppositions. Subsequently, the structures of these myths are connected to ethnographic data of the Japanese people, thus producing transformations which indicate the unconscious structures under investigatie. This analysis shows there are oppositional logics centered around the concept of duty, a fundamental part of Japanese morality – opposition between “willingness” and “reluctance” as well as between “gimu”and “giri”. These oppositional logics are the unconscious structures of their reason for duty, rooted in the concept of “obeisance”.

Abstract

Momotaro is one of the most widely heard folktales in Japanese society, even becoming a compulsory material taught in all elementary schools in Japan. Folktale is something that reflects the structure of thinking of society. Therefore, the folktale of Momotaro was examined to reveal the thinking structure covered in the story. The thought is the view of Japanese society towards people outside their community. This view in Japanese culture is very important. Surprisingly, until now there has been no researcher who relates this folktale to this view. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to fill this void, by presenting a new interpretation different from the previous studies. This research is cultural research, not literary research. Almost all cultural research on Momotaro cannot be separated from the use of a historical approach. What distinguishes it from previous research is the use of a non-historical approach. This study used Levi-Strauss’ structural approach. This approach is to look at the forms of structure or 'logic' used in the folktale of Momotaro, more specifically the logic about the meaning of outsiders for Japanese society.

Abstract

On 2018, the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) occurred in Sukoharjo District, which reached 42 villages with the highest in Sukoharjo District, one of which was in Kelurahan Kenep. More understanding is needed about the education of the dangers of mosquitoes, the characteristics of breeding and the formation of movements, namely through active, creative, innovative and solutive community empowerment. The establishment of the program carried out was the empowerment of mosquito-free healthy communities through the Ecohealth Village concept based on Education for Sustainable Development, which is tied to social, environmental and economic. This program is also carried out with the prevention of various perspectives, such as the use of used materials as mosquito traps, the spread of anti-mosquito plants, and movement of posters to encourage people to live mosquito-free healthy lives and the establishment of one Jumantik Monitoring Household. The results of this program influence the understanding of creative, innovative education and solutions to mosquitoes. During and post-implementation, there have been no cases of dengue.

Abstract

The problem that is most often discussed in intercultural relations between nations is the problem of the views of the domestic community towards immigrants, or vice versa. Japanese people in their lives are also very colored by this fact, which is always building awareness about the boundaries between themselves and foreigners. There are many academic facts that attempt to explain this view. However, the results of the study still present very long explanations and contain complex ambiguities. In these studies, a simple model that is easier to understand is not found. Therefore, this study seeks to find a model (logic of thinking) through the structural unconscious that resides in its fairy tales. The tales that will be studied are a collection of Kappa tales and Ten'gu tales. To explore the structural unconscious, this study will use Levi-Strauss' structural theory. With this theory, the analysis will lead to the discovery of the inner structure of the fairy tale, which is nothing but a model or logic of people's thinking. From the analysis, a model can be generated that shows the reasons for how Japanese people welcome or do not welcome foreigners. This model also overcomes complicated/ambiguous explanations from previous studies.
