“…Harimau! has been discussed in terms of ecological aspects with comparison to Kurniawan's Lelaki Harimau (Duile, 2022), compared with Melville's Moby Dick in terms of existentialism perspectives (Andayani & Jupriono, 2018), portrayed in terms of its representation of Sumatran people ( Wijaya, 2018), and analyzed its orientalist's translation in the German language, (Kuswarini, Masdiana,& Chotimah, 2020).…”

This research is aimed at probing and comparing the masculine anxiety in colonial spaces of Lubis’s Harimau! Harimau! and Patterson’s The Man-eaters of Tsavo investigate similarities and diﬀerences between the subject position, the psychological impacts, and the psychic discourse of colonized and colonizer’s masculinities and male anxiety in terms of the colonial narrative. This comparison is essential for the subject position, and the psyche in the colonial narrative is claimed to be universal, which is not entirely true. Connell’s theory of masculinity is applied to investigate how the values of masculinity shape colonial experiences. This research employs a narratological method - employing the concept of focalization to scrutinize how the subject who see exercise the power of seeing and eventually constructing the subject position and the psyche of colonized and colonizer - psychoanalytic as well as postcolonial reading to reveal the psychological impact - of the character’s anxiety. The results are: 1) In both stories, the colonial settings are portrayed similarly even though the writers of the two stories came from diﬀerent continents (West and East). 2) In a hostile colonial setting, the colonizer and the colonized are constructed similarly in dealing with anxiety. However, when colonized are in the subject position, they are constructed as anal-erotic characters or anti-heroes. Simultaneously they are described as devout Moslems. Meanwhile, the European counterpart, although not described as a devout Christian, was the story’s hero. As an Indonesian novel, this marks the point that it falls into Western colonial narratives’ patterns.

“…However, in this global era, when human relations are becoming more fluid, the uniqueness of each culture has to be maintained and respected. Therefore, a translation that focuses on preserving ideology must be involved in introducing the particular values contained in folklore (Kuswarini, Masdiana & Chotimah, 2020). The translation based on the ideology tries to transfer the ideological values of the source language by prioritizing speech, setting, expressions or language style, and characterization.…”

Indonesian tourism suffered a heavy blow when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. One of the recovery strategies issued by the Indonesian government in 2021 is storynomic tourism, which puts forward narratives, creative content, and cultural strengths. Folklore, as part of the nation's cultural wealth, can support storynomic tourism. This study examines the concept of the integration of literature, translation, and tourism using an ethnographic method while documenting the folklores of South Sulawesi in Makassarese, Buginese, and Torajanese. The data came from resource persons who know and can tell local folk tales using their local language, transcribed the collected folklore into text, and translated them into Indonesian. Other data are photos of objects related to the stories. This article discusses three folk tales, which represent the Makassarese (the love story of Datu Museng and Maipa Deapati), the Buginese (the origin of the village Batu Cokkong), and the Torajanese (the legend of Lakipadada). The mapping of the potentials and constraints faced by the folklores shows that the mentioned folk tales have significant possibilities to support tourism in South Sulawesi. According to Butler's theory, the stories can bring tourists to actual locations, promote particular places, and create a new tourist destination. On the other hand, some sites can popularize certain folk tales. This research produced the concept of literary tourism that can support the regional economy while preserving folklore as one of the cultural heritages.
