HUBUNGAN INTERTEKS LAKON BANJARAN KUNTHI KARYA PURBO ASMORO DENGAN SUMBER CERITA WAYANG

Abstract

This paper aims to discover the intertextual relationship between the story Banjaran Kunthi and other basic stories which already existed beforehand, and also with a number of classical shadow puppet (wayang purwa) story sources, based on an intertextual theory in a literary study. The results of the research show that banjaran is a form of wayang story which tells about the life of a particular character in a single performance. The ideas, events, characterization, and composition of scenes which make up a banjaran story are the result of a transformation of a series of particular wayang stories, either directly or through a basic story which already existed beforehand. To a certain extent, the scenes in a banjaran story show no coherence with a number of the basic stories which are adopted and the various episodes contained in the series of wayang stories.

Keywords: Banjaran Kunthi, story, intertextual relationship.
