The Application of Formalism Concept

In Literary Works

Formalism originally is created to analyze literary work, due to the reason

that theory of literature somehow decided not scientific comparing with theory of
linguistic. Ferdinand de Saussare stated that language is scientific; (la language, la
parole).
In contrast with other theorist formalism expert never mention that they
are “formalism adore” based on literary watcher opinion, because they do not
know literary work is contain la parole and la language or not. Finally formalism
expert settle MLC, in order to discuss literary work, they found that literary work
is discuss based on biography and history analysis, and of course automatically in
order to create scientific analyzing we must back to the text (deep reading of
literary work text).
There are many ways to applying formalism concept into literary work,
because there are many formalists supporting us with tons theories about
formalism. A literary work is different with a common text, but the difference is
still not clear, so that literary work is called literariness. It is difficult sometime for
us to stay in scientific area when we applying and analyzing literary work. It is not
enough if we only analyzing biography and history aspects, because there a lot
externals thing beyond author’s biography and history that influence literary work
and make it become vary. In order to stick on scientific main stream, the simple
thing we have to do is defamiliarization (by Victor Shklouski). Defamiliarization
is one of formalism method that make familiar thing become unfamiliar but
beautiful. In our opinion by applying defamiliarization we can found a “pattern”
of literary work that make vary become one, so that we can classified it into a
group and not walk over scientific border.
