Perancangan Buku Ilustrasi Mengenai Pengaruh Cerita Fiksi Terhadap Perilaku Sosial

Membaca adalah kegiatan yang tengah gencarnya diramaikan oleh masyarakat dan
memiliki banyak manfaat yang bisa didapatkan dari kegiatan membaca. Namun terdapat
bias masyarakat terhadap satu genre, yaitu fiksi menyebabkan perbedaan opini yang kerap
menghiasi komunitas membaca. Membaca sebuah cerita fiksi dianggap membuang-buang
waktu dan kekanak-kanakan karena berdasarkan konsep ‘khayalan’. Padahal banyak
manfaat serta pengaruh yang dibawa oleh cerita fiksi karena ia menampilkan imajinasi
pengarang mengenai keadaan dunia dan relasi antar manusia. Keterkaitan ini memiliki
pengaruh kuat kepada perilaku sosial yang menunjukkan kemampuan individu menjadi
lebih bermasyarakat. Adanya keterkaitan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa efek yang
dihasilkan dari narasi fiksi tidak dapat disepelekan. Projek Buku Ilustrasi yang bertajuk
‘SEE AND FEEL IT’ diharapkan membuat masyarakat memahami bagaimana narasi fiksi
bekerja terhadap perilaku individu, melalui media ilustrasi sehingga mudah dipahami
secara konkret.

Reading is an activity that is currently being widely promoted by society and has many
benefits that can be gained from it. However, there is a societal bias towards one genre
which causes differing opinions within reading communities. Reading a fictional story is
often considered a waste of time and childish due to its concept based from 'imagination.'
In reality, there are many benefits and influences brought by fictional stories, as they
present the author's imagination about the state of the world and human relationships. This
connection has a strong impact on social behavior, showing how individuals can become
more socially engaged. This connection indicates that the effects of fictional narratives
should not be underestimated. The Illustrated Book Project titled 'SEE AND FEEL IT' aims
to help society understand how fictional narratives affect individual behavior through
illustrative media, making it easier to grasp concretely.
