Is Amy Tan Westerner or Easterner?

Is Amy Tan Easterner or Westerner?
A Critical Analysis on the Clash of Cultural Values in “Two Kinds”

Asih Sigit Padmanugraha
Yogyakarta State University

Abstract

In the beginning of the twenty-first century, students of American universities and even high schools faced syllabus that contained so various sources written by diverse ethnic writers they never read or heard before. Evidently, they learn more than what their parents have learnt about American writings: the American ethnic literature. It plays important role in validating American writings and help America redefine its identity.
Amy Tan is one of the most notable figures in ethnic literature. With her first novel The Joy Luck Club (1989), she is so prominent that she becomes “a household name.” Beside receiving awards and being translated into several languages including Chinese, it was criticized and reviewed as intensely poetic, startlingly imaginative and moving, charming and striking in the sharpness of observation, and memorable for its universal themes.
Obviously, her works are acceptable and inspiring to Western and Eastern readers. Yet, what aspects both are interested in are of course different. The differences are undoubtedly shown in “Two Kinds,” the fourth part of The Joy Luck Club. The Chinese American characters in the text talk in two voices and live in two different cultures and worlds. Like thousands of Asian American people, Tan spent her childhood trying to comprehend, realize, reconcile, contradict between her ethnicity and western values, which is so dominant in America, where she grew and was educated. Therefore, this paper will question whether Amy Tan believes more on Eastern or Western value, and it will analyze critically the clash of cultural values in Amy Tan’s worlds through her “Two Kinds.”

Menerjemahkan puisi

ABSTRAK

Meski tidak bisa dielakkan keberadaannya karena keterbatasan penutur bahasa, munculnya berbagai keluhan dalam membaca karya terjemahan merupakan bukti bahwa menerjemahkan memang pekerjaan yang sangat sulit. Selain bahasa, penerjemah juga harus menerjemahkan muatan budaya yang ada di dalamnya. Oleh karenanya, menerjemahkan bukan saja merupakan ilmu tetapi juga seni. Kemampuan penerjemah dalam pemahaman isi teks dan muatan budayanya sangat dituntut. Penerjemah tetap merupakan figur yang tidak bisa dipandang sebelah mata, apalagi penerjemah karya sastra terutama puisi. Dibandingkan dengan genre sastra yang lain, puisi bisa dianggap yang paling sulit untuk diterjemahkan, karena penerjemah tidak hanya mentransfer makna tetapi juga memperhatikan keindahan bentuknya.
Artikel ini ditulis untuk mengkaji pengalaman Sapardi Djoko Damono dalam menerjemahkan “The Hollow Men” karya T.S. Eliot. Sebagai salah satu penyair yang berpengaruh pada abad ke-20, Eliot memenangkan hadiah Nobel dalam bidang Sastra pada tahun 1948. Dengan kombinasi metafisika dan kompleksitas intelektual yang tinggi ia berperan besar dalam perkembangan puisi moderen di Inggris dan Amerika. Artikel ini menjadi cukup penting karena penerjemah adalah seorang penyair yang sangat produktif, seorang budayawan dan sekaligus professor.
Analisis dalam artikel ini akan difokuskan pada piranti puitis yakni bahasa kiasan dalam “The Hollow Men” dan realisasinya dalam “Orang-Orang Kosong” karya Sapardi. Piranti puitis memiliki peranan penting karena berfungsi menjembatani terjadinya bagi pengalaman antara penyair dan pembaca. Dasar analisis dalam artikel ini adalah konsep penerjemahan yang ditawarkan oleh Newmark (1988), konsep bahasa kiasan sebagaimana dijelaskan oleh Perrine (1977) dan Kennedy (2002), dan konsep tingkatan bahasa oleh Catford (1965).
Dari analisis yang dilakukan, penulis melihat bahwa Sapardi berhasil merealisasikan bahasa kiasan ke dalam terjemahannya. Bahasa kiasan dominan yang muncul adalah simbol yang memang menjadi karakteristik kedua karya tersebut. Sedangkan dari sisi tingkatan bahasa, tingkat kalimat mendominasi dan diikuti oleh tingkatan kelompok. Selain itu, ekspresi-ekspresi dalam terjemahan Sapardi hampir semuanya terrealisasi dalam jenis kalimat yang sama. Akhirnya, bisa diambil kesimpulan bahwa pembaca “Orang-Orang Kosong” akan merasakan kompleksitas struktur yang hampir sama dengan karya aslinya “The Hollow Men,” sehingga pembaca akan merasakan pengalaman seperti membaca karya aslinya. Sungguh, pengalaman Sapardi layak dijadikan pelajaran.

A Clash of Global and Local Cultural Values: A Feminist Critical Analysis on Ayu's "Staccato"

Asih Sigit Padmanugraha
Yogyakarta State University


“Kelamin saling siturahmi” is among those inspiring the writer to discuss “Staccato”, a short story written by Djenar Maesa Ayu, besides the extreme exploitation of global sense words: party, roti, whiskey and house music, just to mention a few. The word kelamin has a negative sense while silaturahmi has a positive one. The combination of the two creates extremely great imagination and a very complicated clash of cultural values.

Besides the “easy to follow” poetic writing style, this story explores sex life more bravely than those written by man. This is, probably, why Ayu becomes one of the best selling authors. However, Ayu is a phenomenon in Indonesia because she produces her own value concerning sex and not following the local but global one. This is best represented in her costume when performing on TV, which coincidently talks about sex.

Such a writing would never be accepted in the past, for instance before the Reformation Era, because such a writing will be banned by the government. On March 2007, “Jangan Main-Main dengan Kelaminmu,” the novel which “Staccato” belongs to, has been reprinted for the 6th time. This means, Ayu’s global values are accepted by the society, the Eastern society, the Indonesians. Therefore, this paper is aimed at exploring the clash of global and local values as reflected in “Staccato” by using a feminist approach.
