Keywords:
Existence, alaming lelembut, Javanese mystical, Talcott ParsonsAbstract
Javanese society is still closely associated with animism and dynamism, often associating mystical things with their lives. This mystical story has also been documented and has become one of the favorite rubrics in several Javanese-language magazines such as Penjebar Semangat (PS). The research aims to trace the existence of the Alaming Lelembut (AL) rubric, which has survived for 90 years and represents the mystical world of Javanese society. The qualitative descriptive research method uses Talcott Parsons' social system theory with four functional needs: latent pattern-maintenance, integration, goal attainment, and adaptation. Data collection techniques include observation and interviews, as well as literature studies. The informant is the editor of the Alaming Lelembut Panjebar Semangat rubric. The results of the study: 1) the existence of the AL rubric is maintained by: a) adaptation carried out by maintaining characteristics in the form of word selection, holding incidental competitions, regenerating young readers, managing flows but not carried away; b) goal attainment, there is an adjustment, first introducing Indonesian now preserving the Javanese language for the Indonesian people; c) integration, a comfortable and family atmosphere; d) latency, special training only for the administrative team, editors discussing and evaluating during the production process; 2) as many as 49.1% of respondents agreed that the AL rubric is a representation of the mystical world of Java in the modern era because the stories presented have similarities to real conditions in real life.
