Abstract

Power relations in literary works are a key area of study for understanding how power operates through characters’ actions and ways of thinking. However, an in-depth examination of power relations over the body and mind in W.S. Rendra’s drama script Panembahan Reso from the perspective of Michel Foucault remains rare. This study aims to describe the representation of power relations over the body and mind in the play. The method employed is a qualitative descriptive approach using Michel Foucault’s theory of power relations. Data collection techniques involved reading, note-taking, and analyzing dialogues that reveal power practices within the play. The findings indicate that power relations over the body are represented through surveillance, control, compliance, and the subjugation of individuals to maintain royal power. Furthermore, power relations over the mind are represented through influence, doctrine, ideological hegemony, the suppression of critical reasoning, and the manipulation of characters’ perceptions to keep them submissive and loyal to the ruler. Thus, power in the drama script Panembahan Reso operates not only through physical force but also through the control of individuals’ consciousness and ways of thinking.

Abstract

Laut Bercerita is one of the many acclaimed novels by Leila S. Chudori. It was published in 2017 by Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia in Jakarta, Indonesia, and spans 379 pages. The novel Namiya Zakkaten No Kiseki (The Miracles of the Namiya General Store) is a work by Keigo Higashino; it was published in 2017 by Kadokawa Shoten in Japan.This study aims to describe the social and cultural issues in the novel Laut Bercerita by Leila S. Chudori and Namiya Zakkaten No Kiseki by Keigo Higashino through Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature approach. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a comparative literature approach. The data consisted of quotations, sentences, and dialogues that reflect social and cultural life in both novels. The results show that Laut Bercerita portrays political injustice, authoritarian repression, social trauma, and the culture of solidarity in Indonesian society during the New Order era. Meanwhile, Namiya Zakkaten No Kiseki portrays loneliness, social alienation, and the values of empathy in modern Japanese society. The similarity between the two novels lies in their depiction of humanity and social relationships in society. The differences are found in the social and cultural backgrounds that influence the conflicts in the stories. Through Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature approach, both novels can be understood as reflections of the social and cultural life of their respective societies and eras.
