Abstract

Amerika Serikat yang dikenal sebagai negeri para imigran telah menarik jutaan imigran yang bermimpi untuk memiliki masa depan cerah ke pesisir negaranya. Sebagai negeri para imigran, pengalaman diaspora para imigran di Amerika sejatinya merupakan topik yang telah banyak dieksplorasi dalam dunia kesusastraan. Akan tetapi, sedikit sekali yang berbicara mengenai diaspora warga Jepang di Amerika. Sebagai sebuah awalan, studi ini menguraikan pengalaman diaspora para perempuan Jepang yang mengadu nasib di daratan Amerika sebagai picture brides dalam novel The Buddha in the Attic karya Julie Otsuka. Tidak hanya berbicara mengenai kehidupan picture brides di Amerika, The Buddha in the Attic juga menceritakan pengalaman imigran Jepang pada masa Perang Dunia II yang berujung pada kamp-kamp konsentrasi. Untuk menguraikan permasalahan tersebut, studi ini menerapkan teori Historical Poetics yang diprakarsai oleh Alan Swingewood untuk memperoleh hasil analisis yang rigid. Dikemas dengan subjek orang pertama jamak (first person plural), Julie Otsuka menciptakan sebuah narasi tentang kehidupan para picture brides dan imigran Jepang secara kolektif. Tindakan yang dilakukan sang penulis ini, disinyalir sebagai bentuk post-memory-nya sebagai generasi ketiga imigran Jepang (sansei) di Amerika.  Kata kunci: diaspora, narasi, historical poetics, picture brides, post-memory United States of America which is acknowledged as the land of immigrants has lured millions of those who seek for a bright future to its coast.

However, a very few number has yet to conduct a study on Japanese diasporic phenomenon in America. To begin with, this study attempts to describe the diaporic phenomenon of Japanese women who came to America as picture brides in Julie Otsuka’s The Buddha in the Attic. Not only narrating the the story of picture brides in America, The Buddha in the Attic also tells the story of Japanese migrants who ended up in concentracion camps during the Word War II period. To solve the problem aforementioned, this study applies Alan Swingewood’s Historical Poetics to get adequate results. As the novel is written in first person plural prounoun, Julie Otsuka is said to create narratives on Japanese picture brides and Japanese migrants collectively. What the author does is assumed as the post-memory of being the third generation of Japanese migrants (sansei) in America. Keywords: diaspora, narratives, historical poetics, picture brides, post-memory

Abstract

David Mamet is one of the greatest modern American playwrights whose works have dominated the stages during the twentieth century. His work entitled Glengarry Glen Ross is a great echo of the world about the businessmen in the United States. This study is devoted to the analysis of David Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross based on Marxism point of view, in which it focuses on the power praxis portrayed within its story. By so, this study scrutinizes how American Dream creates unethical and immoral American corrupted society in Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross and how the notion of American Dream is being challenged. The findings of this study show that the salesmens choices, preferences, wants and desires are affected by ideological practices. These ideological practices represent the production of corrupted ideology for the notion of American Dream is being reduced and merely an utopian notion. Thus, eventually, David Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross displays a deeper conception that the salesmen or working class people in general, are the subjects of the capitalism.

Abstract

No matter the era, ones always relate to the popular media whether it is literary words, song lyrics or movies. Yet, sometimes ones do not recognize the reference from a particular textual discourse swirling around them. From this premise, Lana Del Reys Off to the Races is deemed as the perfect example of this issue. Lana Del Reys Off to the Races is an intriguing song, for its lyrics are said to have some relations to Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita. For her adaptation on Nabokovs Lolita, Del Rey has been attacked for ostensible discrepancies on who Lolita really is. Thus, this study attempts to prove the relation between Lana Del Reys Off to the Races to Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita through Julia Kristevas theoretical ideas on intertextuality. The discussion of this study indicates that, indeed, there is a relation between Lana Del Reys Off to the Races to Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita. The lyrics of Off to the Races contains several lines and phrases indicating that Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita plays important role in its meanings. However, the some adaptations and reversal of the relationship between Lolita and Humbert in Off to the Races brings an entirely altered meaning to the song than the meaning in the original text.Keywords: intertextuality, lyrics, Lolita.
