“…They are: how nature is represented in an academic work, is there a difference between the depiction of nature in literary works and natural beauty, and lastly, what is the ideology behind the representation of nature. In other words, Eco criticism is an expression of the author's feelings towards the natural environment [20]. Thus, it shows how literary works have a concern for the environment and contribute to solving ecological problems [2].…”

“…Accordingly, this study aims to analyse the environmental conservation movement in the Sundanese short stories "Akibat Hasil Nuar Tangkal Papaduan" by Kustian and "Kang Sobri Ngusep di Walungan" by Mamat Samista from a literary ecocritic perspective. The two carpons are representations of the literary movement (green literature) in protecting the environment in Tatar Sunda which is studied through the theory of literary eco criticism (deep ecology), because eco critical studies integrate literary works with ecological ideas [20].…”

The environmental preservation movement arises as a result of environmental damage that occurs everywhere, so it is important to preserve the environment for the sustainability of all living things on the earth. This environmental conservation movement is represented in the Sundanese short stories Akibat Nuar Tangkal Papaduan by Kasturi and also Kang Sobri Ngusep Lauk di Walungan by Mamat Samista. The two carpons (short story) represent the destruction of nature in Tatar Sunda as well as the environmental conservation movement through the characters of Aki and Kang Sobri. This study aims to describe the environmental conservation movement for environmental damage as described in the two carpons. The researchers used a literary ecocritical approach. The results of this study indicate that the conservation movement represented in the Akibat Nuar Tangkal Papaduan carpon is the preservation of flora in the form of a conservation movement forbidding illegal logging and reforestation. While, the environmental conservation movement represented in the Kang Sobri Ngusep Lauk di Walungan carpon is fauna conservation in the form of a movement to avoid overfishing, and use the environmentally friendly fishing gear. This research proves that humans have an important role in preserving the natural environment because humans and nature have a symbiotic mutualism.

“…Arianto distorted the myth of the scary image toward the spirit of Mak Ungkai became a woman who guards nature and a friend of humans. On the other hand, Arianto & Simanjuntak (2020) added that the ecological representation of the spirit of Mak Ungkai placed humans as subjects and objects to nature. Both are interrelated and inseparable from each other.…”

Longing for a just and wise leader built a horizon of hope for society behind the mythical stories of the king of dreams. Like the fringe warriors in Javanese society, the Malays in Kampong Tua Nongsa have a role model king known as The King of Fuang. This study aimed to reveal the theme of ethnoecology in the Malay community behind the mythical story of Puak sacred in Nongsa, a Batam district. The ethnoecology approach connected a community paradigm that is formed due to natural phenomena. The interaction between humans and nature through the sacred existence of Puak was created by the role model of the king. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with observation data collection techniques and in-depth interviews. Analytical criticism techniques become a meant to reveal the ethnoecology behind the story. The results of this research show that there are two important things to discuss, namely the representation of the just king and cultural products from nature in the form of prohibitions. A king who is a role model for the hope of a community leader in the form of a king who is honest and keeps his promises, a king who does not want to be exalted and exalted, a king who is just and wise, a king who is simple, a king who protects and preserves nature. Meanwhile, the resulting cultural products are in the form of prohibitions on destroying forests, prohibitions on cutting hills, prohibitions on lying, prohibitions on speaking arrogantly, prohibitions on speaking dirty, and prohibitions on wasting wealth.

“…The folklore created has a moral message that may be deliberately created to be conveyed to the public. In addition, the picture of culture and people's lives can be reflected in local wisdom (Arianto & Simanjuntak, 2020), such as stories that develop and live in a society. Another thing, folklore can be used as evidence of a civilized society because it reflects behavior, point of view, and mindset.…”

Literary works such as folklore found in a society can represent the life of the community itself. One theory that can be used in analyzing literary works is New Historicism. Qualitative research by using new historicism theory attempts to analyze the life of people in Pasuruan Jawa Timur -Indonesia region which is the focal site in folklore. This research is a document study. The data in this study are in the form of fragments of words, clauses, and sentences that provide knowledge to the Pasuruan people. The source of research data comes from a collection of folktales. Data analysis techniques utilize non-literary texts as an effort to integrate literary texts. The results of this study show that there are four types of representations of the Pasuruan community in folklore, namely (1) historical representations, (2) cultural representations, (3) economic representations, and (4) religious representations. Historical representation is seen in the characters in folklore. Cultural representation can be seen from the trust in the leader and mullah (Kiai). The economic representation shows that the level of the economy is at the poverty level. The representation of religion can be seen in the spread of Islam, figures who spread Islam in Pasuruan, and the nature of monotheism. The result of this study is expected to be the basis for the government and non-government to design language and literature learning by considering local wisdom.
