Abstract

The historical representation in literary works enhances historical awareness and enriches understanding of socio-political dynamics, including conflicts. This qualitative descriptive research examines two novels by Arafat Nur, Lolong Anjing di Bulan (2018) and Lampuki (2019). Using Greenblatt’s new historicism, data were collected through dialectical parallel reading of literary and non-literary texts, supplemented with literature studies. The findings reveal the representation of Aceh conflicts, including their types, causes, and resolutions. Arafat Nur’s works reflect not only fictional imagination but also the author’s personal experiences and research on historical events. The conflicts in both novels serve not merely as negative stigmas but as a medium for dialogue that promotes unity and fosters moral values of peace.
