Intertekstualitas Religiusitas dalam Cerpen “Untukmu, Tuhanku” dan Puisi “Doa”: Kajian Sastra Bandingan

Abstract

This study aims to examine intertextual relationships and compare aspects of religiosity in the short story Untukmu, Tuhanku by Rekayansara and the poem Doa by Taufik Ismail. The study employs a descriptive-comparative method by systematically describing and comparing the data. The results show a connection in religious values between the two works, particularly in the portrayal of humans as weak, sinful beings who need closeness to God through prayer and worship. Although they share similar spiritual perspectives, the two works differ in how they express religiosity. The short story presents it narratively and contextually through the plot, while the poem conveys it concisely, reflectively, and emotionally. No direct influence between the works was found; thus, the intertextuality that emerges takes the form of shared themes and universal religious values. This study has implications for strengthening comparative literary studies through the application of intertextuality theory in analyzing intertextual relationships based on shared themes and values, while also expanding the study of the representation of religiosity in cross-genre literary works.
