using American Studies Approach/ theory. American Studies is an interdisciplinary discipcline
comprising of social science, humanities, history, art, economics, sociology, antrophology,
politics, religion and law. In American studies method, a researcher, for instance – from a
discipline of historical science- in collecting data, he or she does not only use data from history
but also from a literary work like novel or drama because a literary work was a mental fact of
society at that time This makes American Studies different from the other disciplines. Southern
Honor by Brown is an example of work written by American Studies approach using three
principal theories of American Studies such as : 1. Reconciliation of Tenses ( Past, Present,
Future ); 2. Reconciliation of Academic discipline ( Antrophology, Economy, Politics,
Sociology, Psychology, Literature and History ); 3. Reconciliation of Region, Nation, and
World. For the theory of number 3 starting from something micro namely “Honors” in the
society of southern America like “gentle”, “oath”, possession of wealth, and so on can explain
more detail about America as a whole. The result of this research proves that “ Honor” does not
only give influence on the ethic and behavior of southern American society at that time , before
civil war, but also provide influence on all aspects of life of American society as a whole up
to now. | en_US |
