Abstract

The short story "The Goats in the Cemetery" by Kanogpong Songsompun, a Buddhist writer from Southern Thailand, incorporated Islamic terminologies as its opening and closing lines, highlighting the presence of hybridity between Islam and Buddhism in the region. This research aimed to explore and analyze the depiction of hybridity between Islam and Buddhism in Southern Thailand, as observed in Songsompun's writing. The focus was on the coexistence and mutual respect between the majority Malay-Muslim villagers and the Thai-Buddhist capital holders in the face of a modernization program. This research employs Homi K. Bhabha's postcolonial theory. The analysis revealed that the short story effectively portrayed the villagers' anxiety caused by the modernization program. Despite the religious differences, with the villagers being predominantly Malay-Muslims and the capital holders being Thai-Buddhists, they lived harmoniously, demonstrating mutual respect and coexistence. Moreover, Songsompun's writing challenged the notion of Islam as a restricted religion by presenting it from a global perspective within the context of his work. The research findings emphasized the potential for hybridity to thrive when different religious communities respect and tolerate one another. This research contributes to a broader understanding of the manifestations of hybridity between Islam and Buddhism in societies that embrace multiple religions. It underscores the importance of mutual respect and coexistence, serving as a reminder of the possibilities for cultural hybridity and harmonious coexistence in diverse communities.

Abstract

Hubungan antara cerita fiksi ilmiah dan sastra Gothic telah ada selama hampir 200 tahun, dimulai dengan munculnya novel fiksi ilmiah pertama, Frankenstein, karya dari Mary Shelley pada tahun 1818. Tulisan ini ingin menilik hubungan antara cerita fiksi ilmiah dan sastra Gothic melalui novel Frankenstein dengan menggunakan Metode Penelitian Analisis Naratif. Hubungan antara fiksi ilmiah dan sastra Gothic terkait dengan fakta bahwa kemajuan teknologi pada Revolusi Industri yang dimulai pada tahun 1760 sampai tahun 1840 seringkali menakutkan, tetapi dalam makna yang lebih dalam memaksa terjadinya konfrontasi dengan sisi kemanusiaan yang terlupakan. Hubungan antara cerita fiksi ilmiah dan sastra Gothic, kemudian akan dengan mudah terlihat bagaimana hubungan tersebut bisa dibangun dan berpengaruh hingga masa sekarang. Mary Shelley dengan Frankenstein tersebut muncul untuk menganalisis aspek-aspek sifat manusia yang menakutkan dan mengganggu sebagai bagian dari sejarah elemen sastra Gothic. Cerita fiksi ilmiahnya menggunakan sains untuk membuat proyeksi bayangan diri mereka sendiri, dan penciptaan inilah yang akan menghantui karakter dan memungkinkan munculnya sisi gelap kemanusiaan.
