Abstract

This study focuses on the representation of ecocriticism in the children's novel entitled “Mata dan Manusia Laut” by Okky Madasari. Ecocriticism is an approach that explains the relationship between literature and environmental issues. The purpose of this study is to reveal how this novel represents the values for preserving the environment, which the children imitate through the behavior of the Bajo tribe in Wakatobi. By using descriptive qualitative methods and ecocriticism approaches, the results of this study are the values of character education in children that are represented through the mythology of the Bajo tribe such as the belief in the God of the Sea and Queen Octopus as the Guardian of the Sea. This is believed as an effort to preserve the sea. In addition, this novel criticizes human behavior that destroys nature, such as fishing using bombs, polluting the sea with a lot of garbage, and killing living things that protect the marine ecosystem. Thus, besides as the representation of the beauty and natural wealth of Wakatobi, this novel is also an effort to instill the values ??in children that Indonesia's marine wealth with all its potential must be kept in balance.

Abstract

Nationalism, national defense education, and eco-awareness are relatable. While nationalism is considered a value instilled in one’s heart, national defense is defined as an attitude of realizing nationalism through activities that share the same objectives - protecting, defending, and growing the nation. One good way to instill the character of nationalism is by utilizing literature, specifically creative children’s literacy, through the digital platform which is inclusively accessible nowadays. It is expected to spread the awareness of nationalism values in children. This study observed the knowledge obtained by children in Taman Baca Masyarakat (Public Library) RW 02 Pradah Kali Kendal, represented in a story writing activity. The value of state defense introduced is limited to three aspects – anticorruption, eco-awareness, and culture-awareness. This study finds that children in Public Library RW 02 Pradah Kali Kendal obtained knowledge about nationalism values and awareness well. The children are also willing to apply a digital platform to spread their values and understanding through children’s literacy. It represents the creative literacy writings written by the children in Public Library RW 02 Pradah Kali Kendal.
