  • Materialism in Ian Mcdonald's Novel the Dervish House
    English Language and Literature E-Journal / ISSN 2302-3546 MATERIALISM IN IAN MCDONALD’S NOVEL THE DERVISH HOUSE Yogi Sulendra 1, Kurnia Ningsih 2, Muhammad Al-Hafizh 3 Program Studi Bahasa Dan Sastra Inggris FBS Universitas Negeri Padang email: [email protected] Abstrak Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) menganalisa sejauh mana novel ini merefleksikan materialism, (2) menunjukkan kontribusi elemen fiksi (karakter, alur (konflik), dan seting) dalam mengungkap materialism dalam novel ini. Data penelitian ini adalah teks tertulis yang dikutip dari novel. Kutipan teks tersebut kemudian diinterpretasi dan dianalisa dengan elemen fiksi (karakter, alur (konflik), dan seting), lalu dikaitkan dengan konsep materialism yang dijelaskan oleh Marsha L. Richins, Scott Dawson, dan Russel W. Belk serta teori human motivation yang dirumuskan oleh Abraham Maslow. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa dua karakter dalam novel ini melakukan tindakan-tindakan seorang yang materialistis untuk mencapai tujuan utama dalam hidup mereka, yaitu memiliki sebanyak mungkin materi, khususnya uang. Mereka sangat brilian dalam melihat kesempatan - kesempatan dalam melakukan bisnis. Mereka juga memiliki ambisi yang berlebihan dalam bekerja. Key words: materialism, materialistic, goal, material, money, brilliant, opportunities, excessive, ambition A. Introduction Having capability to fulfill needs in life is the goal of most of people. Everyone wants to have an established life. However, they have different view about what established life means. Some people have already felt satisfied with their life if they at least can fulfill their basic needs, such as food, clothes, and shelter. Others never feel satisfied, though they have already had more than what they need. These people have high level of desire to have more possession.

    Nataliya Krynytska (Poltava) Feminist Fabulation as a Metafictional Enterprise The fact that feminist speculative fiction (FSF) still resides outside the canon is one problem on which both science fiction and feminist theorists agree. Helen Merrick explains that the “conjunction of feminism and science fiction (SF) is one which continues to evince surprise and even amusement from many feminists and academics. This despite the 30-year history of the ‘sub-genre’ of feminist SF, and postmodern analyses that celebrate SF as the exemplary literature of our late twentieth-century techno-culture” [7]. Marleen Barr, one of the foremost critics of FSF, suggests that the way to gain acceptance from the canon is to distance FSF from its science fiction roots by focusing instead on its postmodern aspects. In Alien to Femininity: Speculative Fiction and Feminist Theory (1987) [2] she coins the term ‘feminist fabulation’ (FF) to name what she identifies as a new, postmodern “supergenre of women’s writing ...which includes works now thought of as mainstream, SF, fantasy, supernatural, and utopian as well as feminist texts men author” [3:xiii]. The term was further conceptualized in Feminist Fabulation: Space/Postmodern Fiction (1992). Central to her study is the argument that “feminist fabulation calls for a new understanding of postmodern fiction which enables the canon to accommodate feminist difference and emphasizes that the literature which was called feminist SF is an important site of postmodern feminist difference” [3:xv]. Branding the postmodern canon as a masculinist utopia, Barr offers the stunning argument that FSF is not science fiction at all but is really metafiction about patriarchal fiction.
