This research delves into the heart of Indonesian culture and literature through a comparative analysis of classical and contemporary Indonesian poetry. Indonesian poetry, a dynamic and culturally significant form of artistic expression, provides a unique lens through which to explore the evolution of a nation's identity, artistry, and engagement with the globalized world. This research examines the continuities and innovations between classical and contemporary Indonesian poetry, highlighting themes, linguistic features, and cultural influences. In the classical realm, Indonesian poetry, rooted in the Hindu-Buddhist Majapahit Empire, presents themes of courtly love, epic narratives, and archaic linguistic elements. These age-old traditions, echoing the rhythms of history, have remained pivotal in preserving the cultural heritage of Indonesia. In the contemporary arena, Indonesian poetry reflects a nation in flux, grappling with questions of national identity, social justice, and the impact of globalization. Contemporary poets employ linguistic innovations and utilize digital platforms, making Indonesian poetry accessible to a global audience while advocating for societal change. This research underscores the cultural, social, and historical significance of both classical and contemporary Indonesian poetry. It explores how these poetic traditions have been integral in preserving Indonesian culture, shaping its identity, and engaging with the complexities of the modern world. The findings of this research offer a profound understanding of the enduring power of literature to reflect and inspire cultural evolution.

“…Their version of the history … has been told and retold through the centuries and makes up the corpus of epic tales known as Sirat Bani Hilal. (Connelly and Massie 1989: 105) It is commonly acknowledged that the epic is a literary form which carries the identity of the community (Beissinger et al 1999). The relationship between identity and translation has led to arguments calling for the treatment of translation as a primarily cultural act.…”

The goal of this article is to assess the translation quality of the Hilali Epic by using Juliane House's Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) (1997). The study aims at discussing translation problems arising from the differences between the source text (ST) and the target text (TT) with reference to register, genre, and ideational and interpersonal meanings. It utilizes the Hilali Epic as an example of travel narratives. It discusses how the translator can reproduce the situational dimensions of the source text in the target text. The study also investigates how the cultural features of identity in the source text are rendered in the translation.

The chapters by greene, Fantham, and Murnaghan, in the section entitled 'Epic and lament' in Beissinger et al (1999), are particularly valuable for the exploration of how far woman's traditional role in lament can and does destabilise the 'capacity of the poem to function as an epic' (introduction, re Fantham's chapter). loraux 1998 (French original, 1990) offers a particularly subtle account of the interactions of 'public' and 'private' as regards mourning in the ancient, particularly greek, world.…”

Womanly wailing? The mother of Euryalus and gendered reading

Feminist reading of the classics requires a difficult negotiation between the struggle to be heard and the struggle to avoid appropriation. The aim of this paper is to explore some few words of Virgil, especially those reacting to the mother of Euryalus’ reaction to her son’s death, and those of his readers through the ages, as a paradigm case of a wide theoretical and philosophical issue in feminist literary criticism. The fundamental question asked in this paper is whether feminist readers of the classics should concentrate on listening to differentiated female voices or on arguing for some form of what we might metaphorically call “equal rights” among the protagonists of ancient literature.
