Under email is abstract, as long as between 150 and 300 words. Abstract is in both English and Indonesian. For an article written in English, the Indonesian version is written first, followed by the English one, and vice versa.

Citations
Citations are divided into direct and indirect citations.
1) Direct Citations
Gramsci adds a very important new dimension with his concept of national -popular: a class cannot achieve national leadership, and become hegemonic, if it confines itself only to class interests; it must take into account the popular and democratic demands and struggles of the people which do not have a purely class character, that is, which do not arise directly out of the relations of production. (Simon, 1999:27)
2) Indirect Citations
According to Abrams, expressive criticism is when literature is understood as one focusing on the author. Meanwhile, mimetic criticism is seen from the relation between the real world beyond the text and/or becoming the background of the writing (Abrams, 1999:51-52).
