Keywords:
Posthumanism, Decentring, Subject, Reconstructing, FolkloreAbstract
The research in this article aims to change and expand the perspective of folklore research in Indonesia, from an anthropocentric to a posthumanist perspective, this is done by using critical posthumanist theory with a focus on 1) how decentering subjects are displayed in folklore in East Java, and 2) Reconstructing relationship subject in folklore in East Java. This research uses a qualitative narrative approach, this helps researchers to describe the structure and explain the meaning of folklore about the role and relationship between non-human subjects and humans. The data source used is folklore in East Java Province, Indonesia. The data were analysed through several stages, 1) identification, 2) classification, and 3) interpretation. This research resulted in the finding that folklore in East Java has an alternative point of view in understanding the relationship between humans and ‘non-humans’, humans are understood not as a single subject that determines everything, but are understood as subjects connected to ‘non-human’ subjects.
