ABSTRACT

Literary works such as folklore found in a society can represent the life of the community itself. One theory that can be used in analyzing literary works is New Historicism. Qualitative research by using new historicism theory attempts to analyze the life of people in Pasuruan Jawa Timur – Indonesia region which is the focal site in folklore. This research is a document study. The data in this study are in the form of fragments of words, clauses, and sentences that provide knowledge to the Pasuruan people. The source of research data comes from a collection of folktales. Data analysis techniques utilize non-literary texts as an effort to integrate literary texts. The results of this study show that there are four types of representations of the Pasuruan community in folklore, namely (1) historical representations, (2) cultural representations, (3) economic representations, and (4) religious representations. Historical representation is seen in the characters in folklore. Cultural representation can be seen from the trust in the leader and mullah (Kiai). The economic representation shows that the level of the economy is at the poverty level. The representation of religion can be seen in the spread of Islam, figures who spread Islam in Pasuruan, and the nature of monotheism. The result of this study is expected to be the basis for the government and non-government to design language and literature learning by considering local wisdom.
