AbstrakBuku anak-anak merupakan representasi dari suatu sudut pandang tertentu, dan memiliki asumsi, keyakinan, dan teori-teori tertentu, seperti halnya pembaca memiliki asumsi, keyakinan, dan teori-teori tertentu dalam keterlibatan mereka dengan teks. Sebagai bentuk wacana media, buku anak-anak dipandang sebagai media yang memuat suatu ideologi. Atas dasar itu, makalah ini bertujuan mengungkap konstruksi identitas karakter utama dengan menggunakan pendekatan Analisis Wacana Kritis (AWK) pada tataran analisis makro, meso dan mikro dalam cerita bergambar anak-anak dwibahasa (Indonesia -Inggris) A Bathtub of Popcorn (Satu Bak Mandi Penuh Berondong Jagung). Analisis menunjukkan bahwa meski pun buku cerita anak-anak ini dimaksudkan untuk mempromosikan gagasan keragaman sosial dan budaya, secara tidak langsung, buku cerita ini membuat representasi identitas karakter utamanya secara asimetris dengan mengedepankan kontekstualisasi yang ada pada negara berbahasa Inggris (Amerika Serikat) sebagai acuan kegiatan yang seakan-akan baik untuk dilakukan oleh anak kecil perempuan Indonesia. Dalam hal penyebutan karakter utama, konstruksi identitasnya juga tidak simetris. I. PENDAHULUANAnalisis wacana menantang kita untuk bergerak dari melihat bahasa sebagai bentuk abstrak menjadi melihat bahasa sebagai kesatuan yang memiliki makna dalam persepsi sejarah, sosial, dan politik tertentu. Secara lebih signifikan, bahasa atau kata-kata kita (tulis atau lisan) digunakan untuk menyampaikan makna dalam arti yang lebih luas dan makna yang disampaikan dengan kata-kata yang diidentifikasi dalam kondisi sosial, politik, dan sejarah. Kata-kata kita tidak pernah netral (Fiske, 1994)! Kita seharusnya tidak lagi berbicara, atau membaca/mendengar kata-kata orang lain tanpa berusaha menyadari makna yang mendasari kata-kata itu. Kata-kata kita berpotensi untuk dipolitisir, meski pun kita tidak menyadarinya, karena kata-kata kita memiliki kekuatan yang mencerminkan kepentingan bagi mereka yang menggunakannya. Khalayak umum, pemerintah, editor, bahkan keluarga dan ilmuwan, memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk isu dan dalam menetapkan batasbatas wacana yang dianggap relevan dengan kepentingan mereka (terkait dengan apa yang dibicarakan dan bagaimana mewacarakannya) (Henry & Tator, 2002).

There are many tourism guidebooks spread all around Indonesia yet they are not of good quality. This study embarks on the idea that the quality of tourism guidebook is still far from perfect. This study intends to explore the type of error taxonomies found in the tourism guidebooks by employing qualitative method. Six tourism guidebooks were collected and used as data and the theory being used is proposed by Dastjerdi and Abdolmaleki (2012). They modify the classification of errors in translation based on Keshavarz and ATA and proposed the name of error taxonomy. This error taxonomy has four major error types of syntactic error with three error patterns, semantic errors with 12 error patterns, pragmatic errors with 4 patterns, and translation-specific errors with 4 patterns. The selected guidebooks are then analyzed sentence by sentence using the error taxonomy in order to find out the error in the translation. Total data gathered are 519 with 292 are recognized as errors. These are then broken down into four types of errors: semantic errors having 149 errors (51%), syntactic errors having 133 errors (45%), and the least occurrence of errors is in the type of both pragmatic and translation-specific errors with only 5 errors (2%). This result will provide recommendation for the tourism boards or the local government who published these guidebooks to take prompt action to review and revise their edition of tourism guidebooks.

This study is to analyze George Orwell’s novel 1984 that published in 1949. This study uses descriptive qualitative method. The analysis of this undergraduate thesis focuses on hermeneutical reading of the text. This study aims to find out critique of ideology concept by reading both the text and the researcher (as interpreter) horizons to get a current meaning of the text. This study applies philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Jurgen Habermas’s critical theory to analyze the novel. After interprets the horizon of the text with three stages of analysis (understanding, historical consciousness, and history of effect), then the prejudice/presupposition (Habermas’ critique of ideology) appear dialectically as interpreter horizon to read the 1984 in its current context. The result proves that, although the work of structure of power in Orwell's life and interpreter are different - Orwell who live in the tension of world ideologies (with fascism, soviet communism, and other totalitarian power) and interpreter in the late-capitalism era (with liberal consensus domination), but analysis of critique of ideology in the 1984 novel in the current context relates to several things. Among other things are, total domination of the system like distorting symbolic interactions and how power works supported - manifested in high-level technology with its propaganda and supervision of civil society. At this point, to resist against totalitarian system, both Orwell and Habermas are similar as well - a process of rationalization with a communication paradigm with emancipatory mission to give a progressive free individual formation in the society.

This research was based on the fact that in the discipline of Translation Studies, Translation Criticism (TC) is highly underrated. Not many research that discuss about the issue due to the fact that doing TC is not as simple as flickering your fingers. It requires mastery of the theories of translation and mastery of linguistic and socio-cultural aspects from both languages. It was therefore, this study aimed to: (1) identify and elaborate the aspects of doing TC from extra- textual and intra-textual aspects; (2) give evaluation on the basis of the quality of the translation. To achieve the aims of the study, Gibran famous novel The Broken Wings (TBW) and its Indonesian translation Sayap-sayap Patah (SSP) are used as the data. Data collecting procedures are identifying the extra-textual and intra-textual aspects from TBW and SSP, highlighting them, and placing them on the table of data collection. The writer then analysed the data by employing the theory proposed by Nords and Newmark on TC and the Larson for the quality of translation. The findings showed that the analysis of extra-textual focusing on the ST and TT has shown that the intention of Gibran to write TBW is to depict the life during his era during which the era deals with various problems that plagued early-twentieth-century Lebanon and foremost to tell a tale of tragic love, set at the turn of the 20th century in Beirut. It is perhaps most aptly described as a “love-poem-in-prose,” unified by the force of its universal theme of love, though critics have regarded it from the traditional perspective of the novella. Based on the analysis of the intra- textual aspects, it is shown that TBW contains many figures of speech, to name a few are the similes which dominate, the metaphor and the personification. TBW also contains so many cultural words that refer to ecology to describe the beautiful landscape of the Lebanon, the material culture to describe the flowers, fruits, and also the organization of Lebanese with the “houris”. The translator was able to perceive and retain the meaning of each making the translation fulfilled the criteria of good translation, clear, accurate and natural.
