Cultural Memory in Indonesian Cartoon Malin Kundang and Greek Cartoon Phaeton

---

The stories of Malin Kundang and Phaethon became the focus of a study that
examines cultural memory and its representation in folklore, drawing on the
concept of cultural memory proposed by Jann Assmann. These two myths hold
significant meaning in their respective cultures, reflecting the values, beliefs,
and collective memory of the societies that created them. This study aims to
analyze the cultural memory embedded in the tales of Malin Kundang and
Phaethon, as well as how these myths are portrayed and interpreted across
generations, referencing Assmann's theory of cultural memory, which
emphasizes how societies preserve and transmit their collective memory
through narratives and symbols. The research uses a qualitative approach,
documenting previous studies, particularly those discussing cultural memory
in folklore, and conducting a direct analysis of the narratives. Folklore is seen
as a reflection of a community's cultural identity and shared history, conveyed
through symbols, stories, and collective memory. Therefore, both Malin
Kundang and Phaethon are analyzed through the lens of Assmann's theory of
cultural memory. The findings suggest that these myths contain elements of
cultural memory, with representations in various versions of the stories, both
through literature and media, often undergoing changes or romanticizations.
These reinterpretations may not always fully retain the original cultural
meaning, yet they still reflect perceptions of identity and cultural values.
