Abstract

This study aims to describe the aesthetics of Senapati Pinilih, a ketoprak (Javanese play) story by Bondan Nusantara. The material object of the study is the story and the formal object is its philosophy of beauty or aesthetics. The ketoprak story is an integral part of the ketoprak art. The aesthetics of Senapati Pinilih is approached by Monroe Beardsley’s theory in his book Aesthetics: Problems in the Philosophy of Criticism that explains that there are three characteristics of the good or beautiful nature of aesthetic objects, namely unity, complexity, and intensity. The data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation study. They were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data classification, and data display, and by the methods of verstehen, interpretation, language analysis, and heuristics. The findings are as follows. Aesthetics has integrated patterns and forms, especially for the characters in Senapati Pinilih, and serves as markers of the story atmosphere. In this story, Bondan Nusantara wraps the theme, dialog media, directions of motion and behavior into a unified whole. With an unconventional plot Bondan Nusantara makes this story complex, rich in contents and mutually contrary elements. In this story, Bondan Nusantara structures the story dynamically, not monotonously, so that the concentration or attention of the readers (or viewers) can be maintained throughout the progress of the story. Serious nuances are proportionately and effectively combined with humorous ones. Keywords: ketoprak story, aesthetics, character education ESTETIKA SENAPATI PINILIH, SEBUAH CERITA KETOPRAK OLEH BONDAN NUSANTARA Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan estetika Senapati Pinilih, sebuah cerita ketoprak (Jawa) oleh Bondan Nusantara.
