Just A Dream
MEDIASASTRA.com, a new website for literary works, is to me a bit special. It is different from other online writing websites for this website is organized mostly by university students majoring literature. Meaning, this website promises more perspectives on literary works. As a self-learned writer, especially of poetry, I find this website very useful for its content about theoretical matters.
Criticism, as claimed to be lacking in our literary culture, needs encouraging and this website so far has proven that the seeds of literary critics are indeed sprouting. Personally, I'm not really in to theories and still maintain my 'disorganized' thoughts. Yet, reading some academic articles here in this website really gives me sparks for my intellect, though I might not be able to come to that quality.
This is a very big start. And seeing you guys, all young people, working on this website makes me feel assured that Indonesian literary world shall be in better future since more young intellectuals are taking part in it, amid the "conspiratorial" atmosphere working on at the moment.
I extend my deepest gratitude to all organizers of this website. If this isn't considered important work, at least it can be a fertile field for your 'intellectual literary works' to grow.
Ah, excuse my dreaming. Still, dreaming is where all masterpieces originated from, is it not?
alter the object into verb
Your comment indeed encourages this web-organizers' spirit, especially me, Mas Pinang. We hope a lot of people loving literature from all 'classes' or 'considerations' join in and contribute their writings for the development of literature, especially for the color and diversity of Indonesian Literature. (Well, it is a dream too,isn't it?)
Theories, for me, are the way to widen my view as Fromm says, "intuition comes from mastering theories and practices."
The very challenge is to alter all dreams into verb where we play as the subject.
one two three and go!
