ANALISIS LAGU NO WOMAN NO CRY OLEH BOB MARLEY MELALUI PENDEKATAN SOSIOLOGI SASTRA
<p><em>‘No Woman, No Cry’ is one of Bob Marley’s popular songs besides ‘I Shot the Sherriff,’ ‘One Love,’ ‘Is This Love,</em><em>’ and ‘Three Little Birds.’ This song is worth studied since it often creates a sense of dualism and ambiguous in the meanin</em><em>g among fans especially the non-Jamaican audience. Despite the fact that the language of the lyric is clear but in o</em><em>r</em><em>de</em><em>r to have an in-depth understanding one needs to have a fit and proper approach. This is because of the locality of th</em><em>e context through language and cultural convention. Therefore in this research the writer offers an approach through th</em><em>e lense of sociology of literature which emphasize the knowledge of biography and socio-history. This approach is being conducte</em><em>d first by analysis of the text through heurestic and hermeneutic method. Heurestic is the first reading process tha</em><em>t aims at giving meaning to the text based on the convention of language structures. While hermeneutic is the process o</em><em>f interpreting and forseeing the implied meaning of the text using all sources of knowledge. This second step can be ful</em><em>filled if the interpreter have an adequate biographical and socio-historical knowledge about the writer/author. This is i</em><em>n line to Hypolite Taine theory of race, moment and millieu. That a literary text is a depiction of reality from a certain communit</em><em>y in a certain moment and millieu or circumtance.</em></p>
