A cross-generational framing of Minangkabau culture: Tenggelamnya Kapal van Der Wijck by Hamka and Dompet Ayah Sepatu Ibu by J.S. Khairen
Downloads
This study aims to analyze the cross-generational framing of Minangkabau culture as represented in the novels Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck by Buya Hamka and Dompet Ayah Sepatu Ibu by J.S. Khairen. The research is motivated by shifts in the representation of Minangkabau values, norms, traditions, and cultural identity reflected in literary works by authors from different generations. A descriptive qualitative approach is employed, utilizing perspectives from comparative literature and framing analysis. The data consist of words, sentences, dialogue, narratives, and events representing Minangkabau culture in both novels. The framing analysis focuses on how the authors select, highlight, and construct cultural aspects—such as the matrilineal kinship system, customs and marriage, family relationships, the tradition of merantau (migrating for opportunity), educational values, the entrepreneurial spirit, the poetic spirit, and the interplay between tradition and social change. The findings indicate that while both novels present Minangkabau culture as integral to the characters' lives and identity formation, they employ different framing strategies reflecting their respective eras and the authors' generations. Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck strongly emphasizes the conflict between custom, social status, love, and honor, whereas Dompet Ayah Sepatu Ibu portrays Minangkabau culture within the context of a more modern generation, particularly through experiences involving family, education, migration, and social mobility.
