SASTRA PROFETIK KUNTOWIJOYO
Abstract
Prophetic literature is, basically, a work of transcendentaland mystical spirit because it comes from the deific values.In additions, it tends to change the course of the civilizationto a better route because of its messianic spirit. Kuntowijoyo(1943--2005) is one of the prophetic poets with his touch onblending the social themes with historical activism in hisworks. The balance between social and spiritual world;between deific saturation and problems faced by thesociety; between the life before and after death, betweenreligious and historical experience are depicted gracefullyin his works. The propheticism in Kuntowijoyo works couldbe traced by using Riffatere’s semiotics.
