Opposition Buginese Society in Novel Silariang Cinta Yang (Tak) Direstui: An Intertextuality Study

Abstract

The author does not make texts from their original thoughts, but rather compiles from preexisting texts, so, the text is "a permutation" of intertextuality in the space of a given text from other text, intersect, and neutralize one another. Kristeva asserted that studying text (literature) as intertextuality like put it into social and historical text. This intertextuality is an ideologeme of a cross from the literature arrangement that will refer to the other text space. This paper discusses the novel Silariang Cinta Yang (Tak) Direstui with the opposition concept by Julia Kristeva. The opposition is always exclusive giving the illusion of an open structure, impossible to finish, never complementary and reconcile. Also, this paper is as an attempt to apply Julia Kristeva's theory of intertextuality which has not been sufficiently available in research studies. Research shows that opposition in the novel seen in socio-cultural aspects as the domain is occurred in the elopement (silariang), pride/shame (siri'), and social class. The domain opposition attitude and behavior between the young generation and the old generation.
