This paper aims at the presentation of ethical and political grounds of the pedagogy of asylum, which, in its assumptions, refers to concepts of such thinkers as Emmanuel Levinas, Erich Fromm, George Steiner, Hannah Arendt, Michael Walzer, Avishai Margalit, Jacques Derrida and Janusz Korczak. Utopia of hospitality, presented in its basic assumptions, constitutes a look at the social life, life of individuals and communities, as concentrated in asylums, while its author thinks that it forms an answer to modern challenges to Western democracies, education and politics in the >Age of Migration<.
Penelitian bertujuan mengungkap gejala, bentuk, dan tujuan perasaan cinta tokoh-tokoh dalam novel >Fi Qalbi Untsa ‘Ibriyyah<, serta bagaimana mereka bersikap ketika perasaan cinta kepada sesama manusia terhalang oleh batasan agama yang mereka anut (Yahudi, Islam, dan Kristen) sehingga mengakibatkan konflik dan pertentangan di antara mereka. Penelitian ini berbentuk studi pustaka dengan melakukan analisis terhadap karya sastra Arab yang berbentuk novel serta menggunakan pendekatan psikososial Erich Fromm tentang konsep cinta, dimana Fromm berpandangan bahwa cinta merupakan solusi dari semua permasalahan manusia. >Fi Qalbi Untsa ‘Ibriyyah< menampilkan kehidupan para tokoh yang awalnya dalam suasana damai saling mencintai tanpa melihat identitas agama, tetapi kemudian cinta mereka berubah menjadi konflik setelah mengetahui perbedaan agama di antara mereka. Para tokoh memiliki dua pilihan, antara mengikuti perasaan cinta kepada manusia tanpa memandang identitas agama atau melepaskan rasa cinta tersebut dengan alasan menaati batasan agama sebagai wujud cinta kepada Tuhan. Penelitian menjadi penting ketika ditemukan fakta bahwa cinta yang berangkat dari perasaan suka kepada personal tanpa melihat ikatan sosial ternyata bisa melahirkan banyak konflik ketika bertemu dengan identitas agama beserta batasan-batasannya.
과학기술의 급속한 발전으로 생명안전 문제가 빈번히 발생하는 현대, 특히 코로나19의 배경 아래에서 역사적 경험을 통해 재난의 재발 방지를 위해 최선을 다하는 것은 미룰 수 없는 임무이다. 체르노빌 원전폭발은 이미 역사로 남았지만 그것이 남긴 문제는 아직도 적절하게 해결되지 않았다. >체르노빌<이라는 이 금기된공간을 어떻게 적절하게 처리할지는 현대사회의 문제 중 하나이다. 본문은 브래들리 파커(Bradley Parker) 감독의 <체르노빌 다이어리>(2012)를 사례로 현대에서 체르노빌의 공간적 표현을 고찰한다. 이 영화는 자극을추구하는 여행객들이 금지구역인 체르노빌로 진입하면서 겪는 끔찍한 상황을 그렸으며, 영화에서 나타난 체르노빌은 실제 체르노빌의 공간 상태와 부합한다. 영화에서 묘사한 체르노빌은 무인구역, 소비구역, 정치권력 규제구역 세 공간이 혼합된 장소이다. 본 논문에서는 세 공간이 작동하는 메커니즘과 상호 관계를 탐구하여 에리히 프롬(Erich Fromm)이 말한 건전한 사람과 건전한 사회의 구축에 기여할 것이다. 체르노빌은 무인구역, 소비구역, 정치권력 규제구역 세 공간이 혼합되어 서로를 제약한다. 체르노빌이라는 이 공간에서 국가는 주도적위치를 차지하며, 무인구역과 소비구역의 운영 배후에는 국가의 정치권력이 어느 정도 관여하고 있다. 원전폭발로 인해 체르노빌은 정치당국에 의해 >예외상태<로 운영되면서, 이 운영 체제 하에서 국가법, 인권, 도덕윤리 등문명사회의 체제와 규범이 사라지게 되었고, 이 공간에 들어온 개인의 생명은 순식간에 조르조 아감벤(Giorgio Agamben)이 말한 >벌거벗은 생명<으로 전락해 타인에 의해 생존권을 박탈당했다. 따라서 >건전한 사회<를 만들어 >건전한 개인의 생명<을 살리는 길을 고민하는 것은 매우 절실하다.
The knowledge culture of psychoanalysis relies heavily on the practical wisdom of competent psychoanalytic clinicians. In order to become competent analysts, analysts in training should not content themselves with trusting in their supervisors’ intuition and expertise. There is a need for supervisors and supervisees to explicate implicit theories of interpretive and supervisory techniques in psychoanalytic supervision by raising the question >Where does it come from?< with regard to three too often neglected issues. First, both the supervisor and the analyst in training should actively and constantly try to make transparent the process of contextualization, that is, the methodology of inferring latent meaning from manifest content through privileging certain pieces of information over others. Second, it should become an ongoing task in supervision that concrete (recommendations about) technical interventions are embedded in and reflect the application of a particular theory of technique. This facilitates an understanding that goes beyond the interpretation in a concrete situation and helps to generalize learning into a gradually expanding, integrated technical framework. Third, we should reflect and explicate the (predominant) supervisory approaches we are using in order to remain flexible with regard to both supervisory material and ways of reacting to it. Discussing these issues will enable analysts in training to develop their own psychoanalytic identity and integrated frame of reference for their practice that they critically and deliberately reflect upon and actively acquire rather than passively and seemingly intuitively absorb and adopt. Examples for illustrating the explication of theories of interpretive and supervisory techniques are provided.
Introduction: Despite struggling to establish itself as an autonomous profession, occupational therapy remains extensively regulated and controlled by discursive authorities inside and outside the discipline. After overcoming the profession’s reformist ideals, the military governance that supported its rapid expansion morphed into civil institutions but both were based on similar grounds: occupational therapists should obey a strict set of rules while disobedience and dissent are consistently repressed or silenced. Objective: The objective of this article is to deconstruct dominant (consensual) discourses that shape the status quo in occupational therapy and envision alternative paths for the development of the discipline. Method: Drawing on the work of Erich Fromm and Jacques Rancière, we propose a (critical) theoretical analysis of the concepts of disobedience and dissensus as they apply to occupational therapists. Results: The concepts of disobedience (Fromm) and dissensus (Rancière) can be used to revisit the consensus shaped by discursive authorities inside and outside occupational therapy and expose the political nature of such processes. We argue that remaining oppressive forces similar to those of a warfare regime persist in regulating occupational therapy practice and knowledge by enacting a form of >disciplinary propaganda.< Rather than threatening the development of the discipline, disobedience and dissensus constitute critical responses to disrupt dominant discourses and give rise to healthier concepts. Conclusion: The use of politically charged terms such as disobedience or dissensus can be seen as controversial and unsettling for a profession like occupational therapy but we believe they are necessary for the future of our discipline.
El presente artículo es una aproximación al personaje de Ricardo, protagonista de >El año de Ricardo< de Angélica Liddell, desde el punto de vista del psicoanálisis de Erich Fromm. Un concepto especialmente útil a la hora de abordar esta reescritura moderna de la famosa tragedia shakespeariana es la >orientación necrófila<, un término acuñado por Erich Fromm para describir un carácter destructivo, que manifiesta una clara fijación en las actividades y los procesos contrarios a la vida, al desarrollo, al crecimiento. Una herramienta complementaria, que también se emplea en el análisis del personaje, es la noción de >carácter anal<, de Freud, cuyas teorías han sido reinterpretadas y elaboradas por Fromm. Siguiendo el planteamiento de Liddell, en el artículo se destaca el íntimo vínculo que existe entre la estructura psíquica y la vida pública del personaje, y, por extensión, de cualquier político.
Rather than being absolute, human freedom is relative because human situation and condition limits it. Also relative is press freedom. History of press in Indonesia recorded that press freedom is experienced once more by Indonesian people after the 1998 reform. At implementation level, there are numerous debates on the definition of freedom. This research attempts to analyze autonomous and dynamics press freedom in Indonesia as observed from Erich Fromm’s perspective. This research is a qualitative research on philosophical problem analyzed by means of historical-factual approach. Research result indicates that autonomous and dynamic press can be achieved through two actions. First, opposing the parties who prevent press from becoming themselves. Second, developing the >culture< of rationality, i.e. accustoming the press to develop their common sense to reach each of their realistic point.
Political Reactionism as Affective Practice: UKIP Supporters and Non‐Voters in Pre‐Brexit England
(2021)
Today it is still necessary and useful to deal with the empirical foundations and cultural dimensions of a discipline such as psychoanalysis that has played a vital role in shaping the contemporary world, on both sociocultural and clinical levels. This study aimed to describe and summarize the perspectives of experienced psychoanalysts on important aspects of psychoanalysis today. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 62 psychoanalysts. The interview data were processed using a theory-informed thematic analysis. There were 12 macro-themes: important aspects of psychoanalysis, important authors in psychoanalysis today, >contemporary psychoanalysis,< the proliferation of psychoanalytic >schools,< psychoanalytic identity and psychotherapy, psychoanalytic training, the Oedipus complex, dreams, the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and outcome and process research, the relationship between psychoanalysis and research in the neurosciences, empirically validated psychoanalytic concepts, and the marginalization of psychoanalysis. Our study revealed the image of a pluralistic psychoanalysis that the participants interviewed show they have, with various schools/definitions/sources, where Freud and the classical model are contested by numerous other approaches.
When viewed from the vantage point of embodiment, the psychoanalytic understanding of traumatic experience is transformed. In this article, a new language is proposed that describes traumatic experience as disturbances in the flow of an individual’s effortless, unconscious focusing on oneself (>I<), the other or others (>you<), on oneself as connected to others (>we<), and on all that involves the nonhuman surround (>world<). From this perspective, developmental and late-onset trauma models are seen as overlapping rather than competing. The authors support their proposal by drawing on self psychology, relational theory, and the Boston Change Process Study Group and offer illustrative clinical material.
Border Situations as Unchanging Human Situations (via Karl Jaspers, Erich Fromm & Noam Chomsky
(2021)
The first aim of this paper is to raise the interest in the works of three authors, Karl Jaspers, Erich Fromm, and Noam Chomsky. The second intention is to show and prove that despite being different in vocation, they essentially speak of the same social reality, regardless of the fact that they observe and reflect reality from different theoretical/scientific positions/aspects: philosophical, ethical/bioethical, anthropological, sociological, psychological, political, legal, economic, cultural, philological/linguistic, ideological. Despite certain differences, what brings them together spiritually/cognitively are the >diagnoses< of the diseased tissue of (post)modern civil society, as well as the assessments of the phenomenon of social/existential reality of our time. What unites them is the comprehensive humanism and care for the man and man’s psychosomatic health and their present and future life, at the time when civilization is on the verge of self-destruction.
As perspectivas de pensamentos da Logoterapia e Análise Existencial de Frankl e a Psicanálise de Freud, apesar de visões diferentes de ser humano e mundo, há muito em comum, principalmente quando as influências do humanismo e existencialismo afetam os pensamentos de psicanalistas. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar os pressupostos teóricos sobre o amor e humanidade de Viktor Emil Frankl e Erich Fromm considerados dois humanistas. O artigo busca indicar, apesar das divergências entre as duas abordagens psicológicas, posições em comum principalmente semelhanças de pensamentos, ou seja, concordâncias de ideias em benefício de um bem comum da saúde mental do indivíduo na terapia. Foram utilizadas pesquisas bibliográficas em livros e artigos em bases de dados, por meio dos fundamentos teóricos dos pensamentos de Viktor Emil Frankl e de Erich Fromm. Averiguou-se que, mesmo de escolas divergentes em relação aos conceitos de ser humano e mundo, as duas abordagens apresentam, de acordo com os pensadores, perspectivas que convergem em relação aos construtos de amor e humanidade.

루쉰(魯迅)은 자신의 초기 잡문을 통해 문명이 지닌 인류발전으로서의 과정 및 결과로서의 성격과 함께 문명이 지니는 규범화를 통해 발현되는 야만성 및 그로 인한 인간의 자기예속적인 모습을 보여주었다. 루쉰은 이러한 문명의 양가적인 모습 속에서 살아가는 인간에게서 새로운 개체적 의지를 찾고자 하였고, 이를 통해 인류 사회의 조화를 모색하고자 하였다. 이것이 바로 루쉰의 문학 창작이 지니는 의미라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 이러한 루쉰의 창작은 곧 인간의 윤리성을 바탕으로 하는 개체적 의지와 인류 발전적인 문명의 공존에 대한 모색으로 해석해볼 수 있을 것이다. 본고는 상기한 내용들을 바탕으로 루쉰의 초기 잡문에서 사회를 이루는 기성 문명의 장력 속에서 문명의 폭력적인 야만성을 제거한 새로운 문명의 장력을 찾고자 하는 인간의 개체적 의지와 그 가치를 살펴본다. 이를 위해서 루쉰의 초기 잡문 속 문명론을 아도르노(Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno), 호르크하이머(Max Horkheimer), 마르쿠제(Herbert Marcuse) 등의 비판이론가들의 문명에 대한 관점 및 그에 대응하는 인간의 태도 등을 비교 분석하여 고찰을 시도한다.
Theoretical conceptualizations of mentalizing postulate a close relationship between the ability to mentalize and the regulation of emotional states. The former is viewed as a key process to modulate the latter, with the origins of the link between the two established in early attachment relationships. However, there is a lack of research testing this association empirically. In the present cross-sectional study, the hypothesis of a positive relationship between the two constructs was tested based on data collected on more than 500 nonclinical adult participants. Various self-assessments and an experimentally derived instrument of mentalizing were employed to this end. Correlational analyses confirmed the expected associations between emotion regulation and mentalizing. In addition, regression models showed that adaptive as well as maladaptive emotion regulation, independent of age, gender, and native language, could be predicted only by self-focused mentalizing.
The article explores the concept of >life< via processual ontology, contrasting the approaches of substance and processual ontologies, and investigates the link between ontological assumptions and sociopolitical discourses, stating that the predominant substance ontologies also promote an objectifying and anthropocentric framework in sociopolitical discourses and ethical approaches. Arguing for a necessary shift in the ontological conceptualization of life to enable environmentally-minded ethics for the future, the article explores the tie between the sociopolitical discourses embedded in a worldview that is grounded in substance ontology and ethical frameworks. Whilst affirming this tie, this study also explicates the limitations and potential feasibility of a processual understanding of life, in the context of the existential disposition of the self-alienated lived-body self that is ontologically predisposed to objectification as a necessary pre-condition to human self-awareness.
During the psychoanalytic discovery and investigation of Psychoneurosis, theoretical scaffoldings offered by Freudian theory were expansive and rich but still incomplete. Amongst the Neo-Freudians, Fromm began unearthing the psychopathology of the society under the heavy influence of Marx. Fromm remarked that the grown-up patient was not a child but an alienated adult who was seen as the neurotic. Feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness and inhibition occurred because the patient did not experience himself as the subject and originator of his own acts and experiences. Alienation had thus caused the neuroses to occur. Ushering in >spiritual liberation< along with complete change of the >economic social constellation< for Fromm were the necessary prerequisites before envisioning a cure of societal pathologies rooted in the contemporary mode of production. Freud on the other hand was skeptical about the application of psychoanalysis to civilization. He ringed in caution to the application of systems of knowledge developed at the individual level when projected to more global levels. Diagnosis of a >collective neurosis< would be tedious since no starting point associated with its development could emerge as the fixation point. Another hurdle that needed to be addressed according to Freud was that even if a substantial system of knowledge did take shape its implementation would be a herculean task. It would take great skill and courage to compel a community to become aware of its blind spots and become available to therapy. Thus, the growth and development of Psychoneurosis had charted a trajectory from the unexplored abysmal depths of the psyche to the more gross levels of societal productions. This paper attempts to establish links between the classic concept of Psychoneurosis and the larger gamut of modern-day society’s psychic reflections.
This article methodologically explores Erich Fromm’s theory of narcissism in socio-theoretical terms while referring to his theory of alienation. It thereby portrays the foundations of an analytical method of far-right politics in the context of capitalism and demonstrates that malignant narcissism touches off fascism without regard to authoritarianism. Essentially, the Freudian psychoanalytic concept of narcissism lies in Fromm’s social theory. However, it is possible to discern the theoretical essence of his social theory characteristically in his conception of alienation. By focusing on this theoretical concern, I argue that in Fromm’s social theory the concept of narcissism works on a socio-pathological level, particularly in the way in which it synchronizes with alienation, a social phenomenon that fulfils its important functions in conjunction with the marketing orientation under the conditions of a market society, and therefore that the concept plays an overriding role in his theory of alienation. I conclude that the relevance of a Frommian critical social theory of narcissism for our society is best showcased by the concept of postfascism.
Psychoanalysis and body psychotherapy: An exploration of their relational and embodied common ground
(2021)
Working therapeutically with and through embodiment is a topical issue in the psychoanalytic literature. Vice versa, body psychotherapy is deeply rooted in psychoanalytic theory and practice. This paper will explore corresponding themes, historic developments, and recent literature with reference to their actual and potential mutual influences, aiming to demonstrate: (1) that contemporary body psychotherapy practice continues to be informed and influenced by psychoanalytic theory, in particular the relational emphasis in psychoanalysis; and (2) that psychoanalytic psychotherapy, in turn, can be enriched and furthered while utilizing the theoretical paradigm of embodiment and body-oriented, experiential intervention strategies developed in body psychotherapy.

The mother’s body, the role of pleasure in the mother–infant relationship, and the traumatic risk
(2021)
In this paper, I wish to talk about the process of becoming a mother, with particular attention to the role of the mother's bodily experience, during pregnancy and childbirth, in developing maternal competencies. Studies on neurophysiological mother–infant interaction allow us to focus on a series of specific bodily based processes that support their relationship in order to guarantee the establishment of a secure attachment. The experience of pregnancy and childbirth, through the body, reactivates the somatic memories of the woman, with the possibility of a re-enactment of traumatic experiences on the one hand, but also with the possibility of a transformation and an integration of these experiences through physiological, biological, psychological processes characteristic of motherhood. Neurophysiological processes related to bodily pleasure can make the difference. The literature at hand describes a post-traumatic stress disorder in women due to the conditions of giving birth, with particular attention to women with a history of sexual abuse during childhood. We should ask ourselves exactly how psychoanalysis considers this new emergent issue and how it should reconsider the role of the mother's body.
Chinese abstract not available] This article aims to interpret dreams in John Keats’s narrative >The Eve of St. Agnes< from different perspectives: the Beadsman’s, Porphyro’s, Madeline’s and John Keats’s, the poet. We will analyze their functions respectively, and then draw a conclusion of Keats’s purpose in structuring such a way of weaving dreams. After summarizing studies and theories on dream and soul from the perspective of psychoanalysis and scholars’ views on >The Eve of St. Agnes<, we will continue to illustrate the ways in which John Keats constructs three layers of dreams with the pertinent approaches by Freud, Fromm, Lacan, Rank, Žižek, etc. so as to reveal John Keats’s viewpoints on life and death, dream and reality, and pleasure and pain. [Author's English]
I argue in this paper that every society has its own >libidinal drives< that may or may not paralyze the capacity of individuals towards freedom. Fromm calls this the social character. Social character is the unconscious canalization of individual libidinal drives for the attainment of social objectives instituted by the dominant figures of society. I theorize that the Freirian dyadic alliance persists because of a dominant characterology permeated by the ruling authorities. The dynamics of social character structure not only eludes the oppressed conscious awareness, but it also actually strengthens the domination and control through the institutionalization of structural policies enacted and implemented by the oppressors. Hence, what Freire laments in the Pedagogy of the Oppressed is equalized and smoothen by how the marginalized and the downtrodden cling incessantly towards the oppressors. By depending upon the dominant ruling authorities, the oppressed find fulfillment and satisfaction, upon which they fortify the dyadic-symbiotic relations. This happens because of the dynamics of their character structure that caters to the instinctual drive to survive. The social character gives rise to the inner satisfaction of oppressed libidinous desires and needs, thus equalizing their own emotional needs. Furthermore, the very nature of their submissiveness is a character trait that unknowingly recanalizes their elementary needs in life. Hence, by understanding how the Frommian social character influences social behaviors the symbiotic element that cements the Freirian dyadic relation is unlocked. Through unraveling the dynamics of social characterology, the Freirian dyadic symbiosis ungrounds itself and eventually grasps why the majority of the poor and marginalized are motivated and find fulfillment therein as a matter of survival from controlling authorities.
Penelitian ini meneliti perilaku sadisme tokoh utama dalam kumpulan dongeng >Der Struwwelpeter< karya Heinrich Hoffmann. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) mendeskripsikan perilaku sadisme tokoh utama dan (2) mendeskripsikan penyebab terjadinya perilaku sadisme yang dilakukan tokoh utama pada dongeng karya Heinrich Hoffman. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Sumber data penelitian adalah dongeng >Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug<, >Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher< dan >Die Geschichte vom bösen Friederich< dalam kumpulan dongeng >Der Struwwelpeter< karya Heinrich Hoffmann. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori sadisme Erich Fromm (2000) untuk menemukan perilaku sadisme tokoh utama serta menggunakan teori agresi Sears (1994) dan Myers (2012) untuk menganalisis alasan tokoh utama melakukan perilaku sadisme dalam dongeng. Hasil penelitian menemukan enam data yang menunjukkan jenis perilaku sadisme dan tujuh data penyebab perilaku sadisme. Ditemukan masing-masing dua data yang membuktikan perilaku sadisme tokoh utama dari setiap dongeng. Lalu terdapat empat data penyebab perilaku sadisme dari dongeng >Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug<, pada dongeng >Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutsche<r ditemukan dua data dan satu data dalam dongeng >Die Geschichte vom bösen Friederich<. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa (1) perilaku sadisme dalam ketiga dongeng Heinrich Hoffmann tersebut adalah perilaku sadisme non-seksual (fisik). Dalam ketiga dongeng tersebut tidak ditemukan jenis sadisme seksual maupun sadisme mental. (2) Lebih lanjut, penyebab tokoh utama dalam dongeng >Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug< melakukan perilaku sadisme adalah dari mengamati dan meniru kegiatan orang lain sedangkan dalam dongeng >Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher< dan >Die Geschichte vom bösen Friederich< adalah karena faktor biologis tokoh tersebut. Adapun dua kesamaan dalam ketiga dongeng tersebut, yakni semua perilaku yang dilakukan oleh tokoh utama adalah sadisme non-seksual (fisik) serta jenis agresi yang dilakukan adalah insturmental aggression.
Artikel ini membahas konsep cinta pada puisi-puisi karya Sapardi Djoko Damono. Konsep cinta seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Erich Fromm merupakan jawaban atas masalah pada eksistensi manusia. Konsep cinta yang universal dapat dilihat sebagai seni kehidupan (>art of life<) yang meliputi: cinta manusia kepada manusia, cinta manusia kepada alam, dan cinta manusia kepada tuhan. Masalah yang muncul dalam artikel ini adalah: bagaimana konsep cinta direpresentasi dalam puisi-puisi karya Sapardi Djoko Damono; serta bagaimana pemaknaan konsep cinta tersebut dilihat dari penggunaan tanda-tanda di dalam puisi. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, konsep cinta akan dibahas pada kekuatan tanda yang hadir di dalam puisi. Tanda-tanda tersebut kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan teori semiotika yang dikemukakan oleh Pierce, yakni dengan memperhatikan representament, object, dan interpretant. Di samping itu, artikel ini juga menunjukkan hubungan (relasi) tanda dengan teks lain dan penggunaan gaya bahasanya. Pembahasan-pembahasannya kemudian bermuara pada pemaknaan konsep cinta yang terdapat pada puisi-puisi karya Sapardi Djoko Damono. Akhirnya, pemaknaan konsep cinta ini dapat dilihat sebagai konsep universal yang merujuk pada keperiadaan manusia sebagai bentuk eksistensinya di dunia. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep cinta pada puisi-puisi Sapardi Djoko Damono ditemukan dalam tataran diksi, citraan, dan gaya bahasa. Konsep cinta yang ditemukan pada tataran struktur tersebut menjadi bagian penting dalam memahami puisi secara keseluruhan dan memaknai puisi-puisi tersebut.
