STRATEGIES USED IN TRANSLATING THE FANTASTIC EVENTS IN VENUS DARI KOTA ILLE
Full text linkThe fantastic (le fantastique) is a literary genre that originated from France, which has a specific characteristic of an ambiguous event that cannot be found in other literary works from other countries that introduce similar genres. This study discusses the translation strategies used to translate these fantastic events in Venus dari Kota Ille, the Indonesian translation version of the fantastic story of La Vénus d'Ille by Mérimée (1837). The objective of this research is to see what strategies the translator use in translating the fantastic events that are present in the French version that contained uncanny elements and whether these elements are preserved in the Indonesian translation. By implementing the theory of translation techniques by Molina & Albir (2002), six translation strategies are found in Venus dari Kota Ille, namely established equivalent, literal translation, modulation, calque, compensation, and amplification. These translation strategies are used to maintain the uncanny element of supernatural creatures in the characteristics of a French fantastic story. In addition, the translator also creates a more intensive sinister element in the target text (TT) by using compensation. These results show that although there are differences in the characteristics of French and Indonesian literary works, these characteristics can still be maintained within the translation. However, this does not guarantee that the translator will not give any additions to the translation to emphasize the message in the TT.KEYWORDS: translation strategies, French fantastic story, La Vénus d’Ill
SKCK AS AN EARLY WARNING EFFORTS OF YOUTH VIOLENCE ON FEELING
Full text linkA series of ratification of laws in Indonesia from 2019 to 2020 prove that legislative work has increased rapidly, especially since there are still many laws that are still in the deliberation stage. On the other hand, the ratification has received rejection from several groups, although the objections in the form of demonstrations are protected by law and guaranteed by law, it is uncommon for demonstrations to end in anarchist actions that harm the state, society, and social environment. What is worrying is that the anarchist actions involve teenagers who are included in the underage category. According to Law No. 9 of 1998 on the freedom to express opinions in public, it does provide freedom for Indonesian citizens to express their views. However, it is unfortunate that the demonstrations that are followed by teenagers, on this matter from vocational and high school students, usually take place in a riot, even though most of them also do not notice what things they aspire from the beginning. The theories used in this journal are mass mobilization theory, freedom of speech theory, and juvenile delinquency theory. The methodology used is qualitative by processing data from primary and secondary sources. A demonstration that took place in the ribs would be a bad pretend for the development of democracy in Indonesia. Consequently, to minimize unrest with the demonstrators, the National Police tried the option to tighten the provision of SKCK(police certificate of good conduct) for rioters in demonstrations, this was aimed at being a preventative medium for students so that want to control their behavior
EVALUATING THE TRUSTWORTHINESS OF ONLINE SOURCES: ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITAS INDONESIA
Full text linkIn 2019’s presidential election in Indonesia, the Internet was flooded by unverified and contradicting claims, which only blurred the lines between fact, opinion, and straight-out hoax. This research investigates how an educated group (college students) evaluates online sources in the context of Indonesia’s political campaigns. An assessment was designed for the students to judge the credibility of five political news articles appearing online in April 2019, the election month. The framework used was inspired by similar assessments conducted by the Stanford History Education Group, researchers who study digital literacy among American students. For this research, fifty students from five faculties in Universitas Indonesia identified false information on the Internet and explained how they recognized it. Their explanations were then classified into three: Mastery, Emerging, and Beginning. The results show that, by and large, the students could recognize sources containing false information. However, only a small percentage provided logical reasoning on Mastery level. It is hoped that the findings give insight into how the students assess online sources and complement other similar works that investigate hoax and political campaigns in other parts of the world

PUBLIC HISTORY: AN EFFORT TO INCREASE INDONESIAN HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMI
Full text linkThe writing of public history has become one of the methods of history that have developed and are in great demand. The difference between history in general and public history is the selection of groups that are used as research sources. Through this research, the author find that public history can be used as a way to raise historical consciousness in Indonesia. Historical Consciousness relates to thinking of ourself in time as historical beings and being aware of belonging to a specific group with a particular history and identity. The current global pandemic presents a challenge for historians. Documenting the history at the time the event was still taking place was a challenge in itself since no one knew how the end of the event was written. Public history has been widely used in European countries to record daily life and events that occurred in society during the pandemic. The historical sources collected from the public will play an important role on writing the historical event and also as a lesson in the future. The method used in this paper is a historical method consisting of 4 stages, namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and then historiography
