AbstractIn Ayyari Persian short stories, women have a prominent, vivid, pivotal, and influential role and presence. It is reflected in various ways and forms in these texts. Ayyari discourse in the ...history of Iran has always been formed in opposition to the existing dominant order, seeking rights and equality, and eliminating authoritarianism, discrimination, and oppression. Ayyar women in Ayyari's stories represent the same discourse and, in a way, represent Ayyari's subculture in the face of an oppressive and immoral male-dominated system. This research has been done with a qualitative approach. It uses content analysis method. First, the stories of Ayyari women are collected, then the way of thinking of women in the face of all kinds of oppression and tyranny of men, especially in the field of gender discrimination, are counted, analyzed, and explained. According to the research findings, the highest frequency of these tricks is dedicated to humiliation, deception, disguise, use of anesthesia, and secret escape. Most of the tricks used by women are reactionary, that is they are responses from women to male sexual diversity, injustice, inequality, oppression, coercion, authoritarianism, and the exercise of power in a patriarchal society. It is in this context that women find opportunity for "masculinity."
This development research aims to produce a product in the form of a picture story using augmented reality technology based on Bengkulu folklore with a focus on the Buayo Kuning folklore. It is hoped ...that the presence of folk tales transformed into regional language illustrated story discourse will attract young speakers to read and enjoy their local wisdom. The presence of augmented reality technology in picture books will provide an interactive, sophisticated and modern appearance in accordance with the interests of young speakers, namely students in regional literature courses. The method applied in this development research is R&D. Data collection on Bengkulu ethnic children's literature was carried out by interviewing, recording and noting relevant informants following standard principles of folklore collection. Apart from that, there is a product feasibility test by material experts, media experts, and user responses. The result of the validation implementation is the total average value obtained from the combined validation of material experts, media and users, namely 4.00.

The Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) are separate and different from the ‘international knowledge system’, which includes knowledge generated by the scientific ...community, namely: Universities, research institutions, and private firms. International knowledge is knowledge created based on modern scientific systems, research, and development, which are all part of the global scientific and technological enterprise of human civilization. This knowledge is acquired through formal education and ‘book learning’ and boosted by advanced study, internships, training, and mentoring that essentially ensure that the existing paths and developments for scientific knowledge creation, confirmation, and distribution are maintained and continued, which by and large is western in alignment. Therefore, this article aimed at promoting the value and the role played by Indigenous Knowledge Systems in the community. This was done by analysing the role played by songs in selected iintsomi (folk tales). Methodologically, this was a qualitative study based on a literature review assessment. The central thesis is that Indigenous Knowledge (IK) as opposed to Western universalism originates in a community of locals with a broader cultural background and is rich in its tradition (s), teachings and human conduct. IK is believed to be a critical basis of mannerisms and is the intertwining factor in society.

Cette contribution se propose de mettre en lumière trois ouvrages de littérature enfantine écrits par Sarah Kirsch (1935-2013) au début de sa carrière poétique. Il s’agira d’une part de valoriser ces ...productions souvent jugées annexes, et d’autre part de révéler les techniques littéraires spécifiques de Sarah Kirsch, déjà à l’œuvre dans ces ouvrages précoces. On s’attachera d’abord à un exemple de littérature enfantine commandée par les instances littéraires de RDA (Zwischen Herbst und Winter) et très fortement influencée par les directives du réalisme socialiste, pour étudier ensuite une récriture à résonnance scientifique des Aventures d’Alice aux Pays des Merveilles de Carroll (Caroline im Wassertropfen). La dernière partie de cette contribution soulignera les techniques de simplification et de trivialisation du matériau littéraire populaire dont Sarah Kirsch fait largement usage, tant dans ses productions pour enfants que dans son œuvre poétique.
Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet drei kinderliterarische Werke, welche die Dichterin Sarah Kirsch (1935-2013) zu Beginn ihrer poetischen Karriere verfasste. Es handelt sich darum, diese oft als nebensächlich eingestuften Produktionen aufzuwerten und die spezifischen literarischen Techniken von Sarah Kirsch aufzuzeigen, die bereits in diesen frühen Werken zum Einsatz kommen. Zunächst wird ein Werk (Zwischen Herbst und Winter) untersucht, das wahrscheinlich von den literarischen Instanzen der DDR in Auftrag gegeben und deswegen stark von den Richtlinien des sozialistischen Realismus beeinflusst wurde. Daraufhin beschäftigen wir uns mit einer wissenschaftlichen Nacherzählung von Carrolls Alice im Wunderland (Caroline im Wassertropfen). Der letzte Teil dieses Beitrags wird die Techniken der Vereinfachung und Trivialisierung des populären literarischen Materials hervorheben, von denen Sarah Kirsch sowohl in ihren Produktionen für Kinder als auch in ihrem poetischen Werk ausgiebig Gebrauch macht.
Sarah Kirschs Activities as an Author of Children’s LiteratureThis contribution will highlight three works of children’s literature written by Sarah Kirsch (1935-2013) at the beginning of her poetic career. On the one hand, the aim is to point out these productions, which are often considered to be of secondary importance, and on the other hand to reveal the specific literary techniques of Sarah Kirsch, which are already at work in these early pieces. First, an example of children’s literature commissioned by the GDR literary authorities (Zwischen Herbst und Winter) and strongly influenced by the guidelines of socialist realism will be examined, followed by a scientifically resonant rewriting of Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Caroline im Wassertropfen). The final part of this contribution will identify the techniques of simplification and trivialisation of popular literary material that Sarah Kirsch makes extensive use of, both in her productions for children and in her poetic work.
