Manusia dan Geguritan di Surabaya (Kajian Semiotik Disertai Telaah Subkultur)

Abstrak

The movement of geguritan (javanese poem) is not just a resistance
movement towards the general rule of Javanese literature. It provides
convenience for the community (in the same subculture) to understand
Javanese culture easier. This movement refers to the 'whole way of life' or
'maps of meaning' that makes this world understandable by its members.
The word 'sub' connotes a specific, unique condition and different than the
dominant society. Person who was born in arekan environment
or Suroboyoan often encounter difficulties when trying to comprehend
Mataraman Javanese. Geguritan is a manifestation of the ideas or creativity
generated by penggurit (poet). In Surabaya, a group of geguritan authors is
one subculture, that offers a new view, reinterpret the old view, and
sometimes even break a single truth that have been taught long enough to
Javanese community in Surabaya.
