Arketipe peran Ibu dalam cerita rakyat nusantara dan kontribusinya terhadap terapi lintas budaya

Saat ini, sensivitas budaya di bidang psikoterapi menjadi isu yang penting karena tumbuhnya kesadaran bahwa berbagai praktik yang dilakukan selama ini bersifat Eurosentris. Para ahli mengabaikan fakta keberagaman latar belakang budaya pasien. Padahal, banyak terapis yang menangani pasien dari berbagai latar belakang budaya menyadari adanya keunikan budaya pada setiap pasiennya. Sayangnya, belum banyak riset yang berusaha memahami dan menggali kekayaan budaya yang ada dalam cerita rakyat dan dimanfaatkan dalam bidang terapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeksripsikan arketipe peran Ibu dalam cerita rakyat nusantara dan signifikansinya sebagai mental budaya masyarakat dapat berkontribusi terhadap terapi lintas budaya. Penelitian menggunakan 288 cerita rakyat Nusantara. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis isi dan studi dokumen. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan dalam imajinasi kolektif masyarakat Nusantara, Ibu arketipe peran Ibu termanifestasi dalam bentuk peran Ibu yang baik, Ibu yang buruk, dan peran Ibu yang bertransformasi. Ibu tidak hanya menjadi sosok protagonis yang memberikan perlindungan, kehidupan, dan kesejahteraan, tetapi juga menjadi antagonis yang mampu menjadi sosok menakutkan bagi anaknya. Dalam oposisi biner ini, sosok Ibu juga mampu bertranformasi dengan mengubah peranannya sesuai dengan konteks situasi yang menyertainya, yaitu Ibu protagonis menjadi sosok antagonis yang diakibatkan oleh ketidakpatuhan anaknya atau hadirnya pihak ketiga. Ketiga arketipe peran Ibu tersebut merupakan gambaran dari imajinasi kolektif masyarakat Nusantara dalam menggambarkan peran Ibu dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Gambaran ini dapat dimanfaatkan dalam bidang terapi, khususnya dalam proses terapi yang melibatkan pasien anak-anak atau Ibu. Arketipe peran Ibu dapat menjadi gambaran mengenai nilai-nilai yang melekat pada sosok Ibu dan menjadi mental budaya masyarakat Nusantara. Currently, cultural sensitivity in the field of psychotherapy has become an important issue due to the growing awareness that various practices carried out so far are Eurocentric. Experts ignore the fact that the patient's cultural background is diverse. In fact, many therapists who treat patients from various cultural backgrounds are aware of the cultural uniqueness of each patient. Unfortunately, not much research has tried to understand and explore the cultural richness that exists in folklore and is used in the field of therapy. This study aims to describe the archetype of the mother in the folklore of the archipelago and its significance as a community mental culture that can contrIbute to cross-cultural therapy. The study used 240 Indonesian folk tales. The analytical method used is content analysis and document study. The results of the study show that in the collective imagination of the people of the archipelago, the archetypal mother role is manifested in the form of a good mother role, a bad mother, and a transformed mother role. Mother is not only a protagonist who provides protection, life, and welfare, but also becomes an antagonist who can become a frightening figure for her child. In this binary opposition, the mother figure is also able to transform by changing her role according to the context of the accompanying situation, namely the protagonist's mother becomes an antagonist figure caused by the disobedience of her child or the presence of a third party. The three archetypes of the mother's role are an illustration of the collective imagination of the Indonesian people in describing the role of mothers in everyday life. This picture can be used in the field of therapy, especially in the therapeutic process involving children or mothers. The archetype of the mother's role can be an illustration of the values ​​attached to the mother figure and become the cultural mentality of the Indonesian people.

Doing Motherhood, Doing Home: Mothering as Home-Making Practice in Half of a Yellow Sun

Home and motherhood are tightly interwoven, particularly in the dominant conceptualizations of home as a physical and emotional refuge from the public world. However, a closer look into these concepts helps question the naturalization of both motherhood and home, revealing them as shaped by complex lived experiences and relations instead. I argue that such a rethinking of home and motherhood beyond essentialist discourse is prominent in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s postcolonial novel Half of a Yellow Sun. Drawing on concepts and theories from the fields of gender studies and geography, and taking into account the postcolonial, Nigerian context of the novel, I address how Adichie’s 2006 piece of historical fiction thematizes the intersection point of motherhood and home as a relational practice. Adichie provides alternative conceptualizations of motherhood and home through her focus on performative, ritualized mothering practices that also function as relational home-making practices and that stretch beyond gender and biological relations. Through the central ambivalence that emerges in the novel when the female protagonist chooses and practices a traditional mother role but simultaneously does not correspond to the dominant Nigerian ideal of a mother, Adichie destabilizes binary views of both home and of motherhood.

Didactic Intertextuality

In this chapter, 1 look at intertextual resonances with proverbial wisdom, notably from the sayings collection (10:1–22:16) showing how the didactic method of proverbial maxims as found in Proverbs (ethical emphasis) is applied in Ruth. The character of Ruth reveals that she is not simply a woman of worth (a comparison often made of Ruth with Prov 31) but she is a more profound exemplar of the values embodied in proverbial wisdom. Ruth links up with the wisdom ideal, not simply through her female figure/worthy womanliness/wife and mother role. It is of interest here how a narrative text links up with more abstract moral qualities as found in Proverbs. Rather than producing a maxim and then finding a story to illustrate it, a story is illustrated by a wider paradigm. This gives the story didactic ‘thrust’ (Cheung) for the reader. Whether these connections were in any way meant by an author is a separate question to the fact that these resonances are found in the text in its present form. I shall treat them as synchronic intertextual resonances with the possibility open that diachronic resonances may also have been intended. I am coining the phrase ‘didactic intertextuality’ to explain this phenomenon, which is potentially much wider than simply this one example and might be applied to other narratives.

The self-as-mother in the preschool years: an interpretive phenomenological analysis

There has been little research into the well-being of mothers after 12 months post-partum, despite researchers finding that depressive symptoms are more prevalent at 4 years post-partum than at any other time preceding this. The literature suggests that a woman’s view of the mother role impacts on her well-being in the early years of parenting. This qualitative research study investigated the experiences of mothers of preschool-aged children in Melbourne, Australia, and how they incorporated the role of mother into their self. Eight semi-structured interviews were completed, and interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to explore the data. The data revealed four subthemes relating to the emergence of the maternal self: becoming a mother as a journey of self-discovery, the biological imperatives of becoming a mother, remothering and the continued challenges of the emerging mother role. Although the experiences of mothering are as diverse as women themselves, even in the mostly homogenous sample, as in this study, several themes were present that both support and diverge from the existing literature.
