Indonesia's tourism potential is quite large. But in fact, tourism is still very centralized in only a few places such as Java and Bali. Even though, there are still a lot of tourist attractions that are no less interesting and beautiful, like the natural tourism of Berau Regency, which is located in East Kalimantan. Therefore, in designing this video, it is necessary to divide the narrative which is dissected using the Freytag's Pyramid narrative structure method. The research methodology used is to use qualitative methods by conducting expert interview studies who are expected to provide valid information. The divided narrative of this promotional video will be useful in the process of designing a visual study.

AbstractThis chapter explores how “digging deep”, which stands for the active “search for” inconsistencies in asylum seekers’ narratives in asylum interviews, becomes the morally correct thing for decision-makers to do. Building on Eckert (The Bureaucratic Production of Difference. transcript, Bielefeld, pp. 7–26, 2020) I challenge the depiction of bureaucracies as anethical and amoral. Ethics I understand not in a normative, but rather in an empirical sense, as the common good the administration is oriented towards. The chapter brings to light how particularly through fairness—both as a procedural norm and ethical value—digging deep is established as a routine, professionally necessary and desirable practice, which is connected to decision-makers’ role as “protectors of the system”. I argue that digging deep actively generates the “liars” and “false refugees” it sets out to “uncover”, thereby reinforcing the perception that, indeed, there “are” many false refugees which, again, strengthens the office’s and individual decision-makers’ endeavours to identify and exclude them from asylum.

This article aims at studying narrative structure of the story of Saint Khidir (Nabi Khidir) in the Koran by questioning its meaning, its structure and  fuction. The narrative approach is used in examining the story. It turns out that like any other stories in the Koran, the story of saint Khidir has a simple structure of narrative (ijaz).  The narrative structure of the story aims at strengthening the faith to Alloh through its thematic values. The story also informs us the social context of the given time and prophet Mohammad’s psychological realm in his preaching. The story gives tremendous moral value to Arabic society in giving meaning to their selves and their surroundings.

In The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell begins his thesis of the Monomyth with a recounting of the story of the Minotaur. His purpose is straightforward: the initiation and cycling of the hero’s journey is predicated on an origin of evil narrative which the story of the Minotaur quintessentially is. It is interesting to note, however, that differently gendered expressions of narrative evil give rise to distinct and gendered vectors of protagonist action. In Sleeping Beauty, for example, Maleficent, a female/mother variant of the tyrant-monster, gives rise to a protagonist, Princess Aurora, who is never the conscious agent of the action she takes. On the other hand, in Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa literally drives the narrative action which is initiated by the tyrant-father, Immortan Joe. Though it’s clear that Furiosa’s journey adheres to a more manifest expression of empowered action than Princess Aurora’s, this paper will argue that neither protagonist nor the implied origin of evil story setting each character’s journey in motion suffices to define the heroine’s journey. Rather, the fairytale princess and the female action-hero require a new interpretive model in order to describe both their conflicting and, surprisingly, common relationship to personal agency. Drawing on the methodology of Vladimir Propp, I intend to offer an alternative framework for understanding the attributes of the heroine’s journey which circumvents completely the essentializing gesture that is necessarily made in positing an expression of the hero-task which would be unique to a female protagonist. Rather, I offer the Multimyth, an interpretive framework which 1) applies the model of the hero’s journey to Sleeping Beauty and Mad Max: Fury Road in order to define, reveal, and interrogate the functioning of each film’s narrative structure foregrounding the roles of Princess Aurora and Furiosa, respectively; and, then 2) uses the aggregate conclusions of the application of Campbell’s model to each text to counter-interrogate the model itself. In doing so, I intend to expose the assumptions, omissions and limitations of the Monomyth as a narrative heuristic and at the same time elucidate the Multimyth as an interpretive model which honors Campbell’s conception of the hero-task and proffers new methods for the application of the hero’s journey which will result in a richer and more complex understanding of narrative structure.

Oral literature will always change according to the dynamic of their community. Some oral literary works in Indonesia are extinct already due to not yet documented. Oral literature is, actually, a cultural treasure of Indonesia able to show the rich variety of cultures and values and the incredible creativity of their community. Change and the loss of a variety of oral literature mean the extinction or change of property contained in them. One form of Indonesian oral literature still enjoyed today is folklores of West Sumbawa. Therefore, this study aims to document the oral literature of West Sumbawa in the form of folklores. Furthermore, the folklores collected will be analyzed by using Vladimir Propp’s theory of narrative structure. The result shows that the folklores of West Sumbawa have fourteen actor functions. The fourteen functions can be distributed into five environmental actions. Oral literatures will always change according to the dynamic of their community.

ABSTRAKPembahasan penelitian ini akan difokuskan pada tindakan plastisitas spiritualitas dalam serial novel Supernova karya Dee dengan judul Kesatria, Putri, dan Bintang Jatuh; Akar; Petir; Partikel; Gelombang; dan Intelegensi Embun Pagi. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan teori struktur naratif Vladimir Propp, yang terdiri dari dua tahap analisis. Pertama, analisis mengenai identifikasi motif spiritualitas dalam enam novel serial Supernova secara tekstual. Kedua, hasil identifikasi tersebut menunjukkan adanya unsur yang berulang terkait dengan motif spiritualitas yang disebut sebagai fungsi. Fungsi-fungsi tersebut kemudian dirumuskan sesuai dengan urutan kemunculannya dalam setiap novel. Melalui kedua tahap analisis tersebut dapat diperoleh makna dari adanya motif spiritualitas dalam keenam novel serial Supernova. Berdasarkan tahap analisis, ditemukan konsistensi motif spiritulitas dalam keenam novel merupakan sebuah proses pencarian dalam suatu kehidupan, serta merupakan usaha pemenuhan kekosongan diri untuk menemukan makna kehidupan. Plastisitas spiritualitas dalam keenam novel lebih menitikberatkan pada posisi sains sebagai unsur pembangun kesadaran setiap individu. Kata-kata kunci: Propp, fungsi, spiritualitas, plastisitas ABSTRACTThe research will be focused on the act of spirituality plasticity in Dee's Supernova novel series titled Kesatria, Putri, dan Bintang Jatuh; Akar; Petir; Partikel; Gelombang; dan Intelegensi Embun Pagi. This research utilizes the theory of narrative structure Vladimir Propp, which consists of two stages of analysis. First, an analysis of the identification of spirituality motif in six Supernova novel series. Second, the results of the identification indicate a recurring element related to the spirituality motif called function. These functions are then formulated according to the order in which they appear in each novel. Through these two stages of analysis can be obtained the meaning of the existence of a spirituality motif in the six serial Supernova novels. Based on the analysis phase, consistency of spirituality motifs can be found in the six novels as a process searching in life, and it is an attempt to fulfill the self-emptiness to find the meaning of life. Spirituality plasticity in the six novels is more focused on the role of science as an element of building awareness of each individual. Key words: Propp, function, spirituality, plasticity

Narration as a fundamental activity practiced among human beings dates from long before writing was invented, and spread throughout many different civilisations. Within cultural and literary studies it underwent a renaissance through the work of the Russian folklorist and scholar Vladimir Propp, who analysed the basic plot components of Russian folk tales (published in Russia in 1928, translated to English in 1958, Morphology of the Folktale). Then, with the breakthrough of text linguistics, the narrative perspective entered forcefully into analyses of non-fictional texts (Wehrlich 1976, van Dijk 1980, Adam 1992). There have been many discussions about the number of components in the narrative structure, but there is currently a more or less clear consensus on the 5 component schema: initial situation, complication, reaction, resolution, final situation. The narrative structure has also entered non-linguistic fields, such as psychology and political science, and more particularly into climate change discourse, where even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has described its reports as “narratives”. With this as a backdrop, we will in the present contribution discuss the notion of narrative and its relevance in the analysis of climate change discourse within different genres, to show that despite their differences in both content and structure, there is a common climate change narrativity. The comparison involves two very distinct genres, the first of which is the political speech, exemplified by French President François Hollande’s prepared remarks at the climate change conference (COP21) in Paris in late 2015. The second genre has not yet received a label, but can be called “survey discourse”. This corresponds to answers to open-ended questions in a survey undertaken by the Norwegian Citizen Panel in 2015, where respondents answer freely in their own words the following question: “Concerning climate change, what do you think should be done?” The differences between the two genres are manifold. A political speech is carefully drafted by professionals and represents an institutional commitment by a leader. Survey answers are formulated by anonymous respondents who most often are not specialists in the field, and who in no way are bound by their statements. Despite these differences, our findings will show how these texts belonging to very different genres comprise a plot, and how different characters (heroes, victims, and villains) are integrated into the unfolding ‘story’, thus reflecting the socially pervasive nature of narratives.
