The rapid digital shift in Indonesia has transformed reading and writing practices from print-based methods to creative participation involving AI, multiple modes, and platforms. While this change has democratized access, it raises concerns about declining deep reading skills, shallow aesthetics, and uncritical reliance on generative technologies. This paper aims to (1) examine how cyber literature has evolved and fits within the Society 5.0 theoretical framework in today's digital ecosystems, (2) analyze how media changes affect aesthetic experience, reader agency, and literacy development, and (3) propose a human-centered approach to teaching literature. Methodologically, the study employs an interpretive and conceptual synthesis integrating digital humanities, multiliteracies, and posthuman authorship theory, drawing on recent scholarly literature from Indonesia and globally. Findings reveal that cyber literature has developed into four main types: web-based, social media-based, platform-based, and AI-augmented. Each is characterized by progressively hybrid authorship and algorithmically mediated participation, with distinct ways of knowing and engaging readers. Digital transformation significantly impacts multimodal aesthetics, social engagement patterns, and literacy practices, necessitating pedagogical change. In response, the study proposes a comprehensive three-pillar framework comprising deep reading, multimodal creation, and ethical AI literacy, emphasizing that literature education in the digital age must accommodate technological advancements while preserving human critical judgment, interpretive depth, and ethically informed creativity.
Rekonstruksi Pedagogi Sastra Siber dalam Ekosistem Sastra Digital Masyarakat 5.0: Suatu Kerangka Konseptual Tiga Pilar
Pergeseran digital yang cepat di Indonesia telah mengubah praktik membaca dan menulis dari metode berbasis cetak menjadi partisipasi kreatif yang melibatkan AI, berbagai mode, dan platform. Meskipun perubahan ini telah mendemokratisasi akses, hal ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang menurunnya keterampilan membaca mendalam, estetika yang dangkal, dan ketergantungan yang tidak kritis pada teknologi generatif. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk (1) meneliti bagaimana sastra siber telah berevolusi dan sesuai dengan kerangka teoritis Masyarakat 5.0 dalam ekosistem digital saat ini, (2) menganalisis bagaimana perubahan media memengaruhi pengalaman estetika, agensi pembaca, dan pengembangan literasi, dan (3) mengusulkan pendekatan yang berpusat pada manusia untuk pengajaran sastra. Secara metodologis, penelitian ini menggunakan sintesis interpretatif dan konseptual yang mengintegrasikan humaniora digital, multiliterasi, dan teori kepengarangan pascamanusia, dengan mengacu pada literatur ilmiah terkini dari Indonesia dan global. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa sastra siber telah berkembang menjadi empat jenis utama: berbasis web, berbasis media sosial, berbasis platform, dan berbasis AI. Masing-masing dicirikan oleh kepengarangan hibrida yang progresif dan partisipasi yang dimediasi secara algoritmik, dengan cara yang berbeda dalam mengetahui dan melibatkan pembaca. Transformasi digital berdampak signifikan terhadap estetika multimodal, pola keterlibatan sosial, dan praktik literasi, sehingga memerlukan perubahan pedagogis. Sebagai respons, studi ini mengusulkan kerangka kerja komprehensif tiga pilar yang terdiri dari membaca mendalam, kreasi multimodal, dan literasi AI yang etis, menekankan bahwa pendidikan sastra di era digital harus mengakomodasi kemajuan teknologi sambil tetap melestarikan penilaian kritis manusia, kedalaman interpretasi, dan kreativitas yang berlandaskan etika.
