Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of understanding the dynamics of cultural identity in literature, especially in the novel Segala yang Diisap Langit by Pinto Anugrah, which depicts the conflict between tradition and modernity in Minangkabau society through the myth of the curse of seven generations. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of myth in the formation of the cultural identity of its characters. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive analytical approach, where data analysis techniques include identifying and grouping data related to myth and cultural identity, as well as text analysis to understand the relationship between cultures. The results of the study indicate that cultural identity is dynamic and influenced by the interaction between traditional values and new ideologies, where myths function as a tool for forming identity, and the birth of a daughter becomes a symbol of hope for continuing the lineage. In addition, the use of the Minangkabau language and the representation of tradition in the novel reflect how cultural identity is manifested in everyday life, and shows the resilience of the Minangkabau people in facing changing times
