STRUKTURAL 2020
We proudly present the proceedings of 2nd International Seminar on Translation Studies, Applied Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies 2020 (STRUKTURAL 2020). It focuses on how disruptive era influences participants field of researches, especially in Humanities and Social Studies. As we know, the world today is changing and the world we are facing now is the one where everything is connected. Not only are our PCs, our tablets, our hand phones, and other devices connected but everything that happens in societies is also now “connected”. Today, even a robbery incident in a small village has a possibility to make a city in another part of the world collapse. This butterfly effect of social change may also give a big impact in our understanding and our field of study of social sciences and humanities. More than 70 manuscripts were presented at this conference with around 41 of them selected to be published in proceedings. We hope by this conference, discussions on how research on humanities and social studies is possible in a disruptive era will give a perspective for the social and humanities studies development.
Counter-Narrative and Ambivalent Discourse Toward Christianity in African Postcolonial Literature
The book Counter-narrative and Ambivalent Discourse towards Christianity in African Postcolonial Literature explores the encounters and conflicts between Christianity and African traditional culture represented in three African postcolonial literature: Achebe's Arrow of God, Thiong'o's The River Between, and p'Bitek's Song of Lawino. Using postcolonial perspective, this book reveals a counter-narrative discourse against the arrival of Christianity in the three African postcolonial literary works and highlights the ambivalent nature of this resistance, as the authors cannot escape the trap of conformity to Chtistianity and Western hegemony. Christianity, as a missionary and culturally-destructive religion in postcolonial Africa, is considered complex religion that can have both positive and negative effects on traditional African societies. While it can be a ideological tool of colonialism that destabilizes the fabric of local life, it also provides solutions to some local problems. This new religious belief disrupts the social structure and cultural traditional in the context of African postcolonial society.
Poskolonialitas “Dunia Baru”
“Dunia Baru” mendekonststruksi paradigma para penjelajah Eropa yang datang ke Karibia, dan sekaligus menjadi ideologi bagi poskolonialitas masyarakat Karibia. Dua tokoh poskolonialis Karibia, Derek Walcott dan VS Naipaul, menjadi representasi poskolonialitas yang terjadi di kalangan masyarakat Karibia. Dua karya besar tentang poskolonialitas masyarakat Karibia, yakni Omeros, sebuah epik karya Derek Walcott, dan The Enigma of Arrival, sebuah novel otobiografi karya VS Naipaul, memeperlihatkan upaya masyarakat terjajah dalam membangun identitas dan berkontestasi melawan hegemoni kolonial. Masing-masing menerapkan strategi dalam mengadaptasi pandangan-pandangan Eropa sebagai salah satu elemen fiksinya. Namun demikian, keduanya ternyata mengusung berbagai makna ambivalen demi makna-makna yang hendak dikemukakan dalam kaitannya dengan identitas masyarakat poskolonial Karibia. Demikianlah, Dunia Baru menjadi paradigma lain dalam poskolonialisme dan identitas bagi poskolonialitas Karibia.

Prosiding ini diharapkan memberikan orientasi atas situasi tanpa pijakan bagi bertumbuhnya budaya yang lebih memberikan kemungkinan eksistensi manusia dalam tantangan perubahan iklim yang juga menjadi tantangan dalam mendorong poshuman. Materialisasi budaya dalam wujud seni juga layak untuk dikaji ulang agar mampu memberikan jalan yang dapat diterima dalam membantu manusia mengarungi tantangan biologis dan non biologisnya. Poshuman lahir dari sebuah situasi bahwa manusia didorong ke batas-batas yang sebelumnya tidak pernah dijumpai. Manus...

Sastra dan Transformasi Digital
Sastra berasal dari bahasa Sanskerta sastra yang berarti 'pedoman'. Secara tidak langsung perubahan massif akhir-akhir ini termasuk era digital, membawa sastra menuju era baru. Ada transformasi-transformasi yang muncul. Di saat ada sesuatu yang "baru" tersebut ada pula jejak-jejak yang tertinggal yang perlu juga dicermati. Gaya Preskriptif yang baru juga muncul. Alat yang membantu kita melalui kaidah-kaidah yang diberikan belum tentu sesuai dengan kaidah alami bahasa manusia. Rupanya identitas manusia yang konon ada pada sastranya tidak dapat digantikan secara digital. Pada hakikatnya digital dan manusia dan sastra berjalan bersama.

Rule of the Bone
In the tradition Huckleberry Finn and The Catcher in the Rye, Russell Banks’s quintessential novel of a disaffected homeless youth living on the edge of society “redefines the young modern anti-hero. . . . Rule of the Bone has its own culture and language, and Bone is sure to become a beloved character for generations” (San Francisco Chronicle). When we first meet him, Chappie is a punked-out teenager living with his mother and abusive stepfather in an upstate New York trailer park. During this time, he slips into drugs and petty crime. Rejected by his parents, out of school and in trouble with the police, he claims for himself a new identity as a permanent outsider; he gets a crossed-...
