metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article explores the novel Manjali and Cakrabirawa (2010) by one of the most outstanding
  modern Indonesian writers, Ayu Utami (born in 1968), whose philosophical and intellectual
  work marked the beginning of a new era in Indonesian literature. The novel was not
  translated into English and has not been the subject of research in Russia. Articles on the
  topic are few and only deal with themes of gender studies and feminism. This article provides
  an analysis of the interpretation of the plot-forming mythological layer of the novel. Utami
  boldly raises the topic of political repression through mythological optics, offers her own view
  on the construction of the image of a witch called Calon Arang, supposedly a political rival of
  a historical figure — Raja Airlangga (1000–1049), the ruler of the Javanese-Balinese state of
  Kediri (1042–1222). Calon Arang, nicknamed Rangda (“widow”), is a well-known character
  in folklore, the story has many versions. The relevance of the article is due to the paradox of
  the myth of Calon Arang: on the one hand, its characters and plot are well known to Indonesians
  (primarily Javanese and Balinese), but on the other hand, the myth remains poorly
  understood. Cultural-historical, comparative-typological and mythopoetic methods make it
  possible to analyze the mythological images in her novel “Manjali and Cakrabirava”, which is,
  as the events of the mythological plot of the 11th century, associated with political issues — the
  struggle for power and the demonization of the opponent.
