CERITA PANJI DALAM PERSPEKTIF SEJARAH

Abstract

As a story which spread is dominated by oral tradition, Panji is presented in various versions. Meanwhile,
history uses facts, data, or documents to be systematically explored and elaborated. In this case, history speaks in the
domain of "the logic of acceptability" whereas literature extends into the realm of "the logic of ignorance". If literature
and history serve the phrase "historical literature" and "literary history" then two things are different. Historical
literature is part of a literary history study, but not the other way around. History literature stems from the belief of
something. Instead, history begins with the proof of something (Ibrahim, 1986: vii). The story of Panji is also the only
local story that is globalized. Panji is also appointed as a cultural hero of the archipelago. Starting from the above
discussion, it is stated that historical literature can only be used to give an overview of civilization society, the concept of
state administration, and the style of thinking in that era.
