Abstract

The focus of this paper is to analyze the domination and resistance in the domestic area as portrayed in Maugham‟s The Colonel’s Lady. The special aims are to analyze the factors that trigger the wife‟s resistance, the kind of resistance carried out by the wife, and the impacts of the wife‟s resistance on the husband. The analysis is supported by the concept of power by Foucault, the concepts of resistance and how to face domination by Vinthagen and Johanson, Husu, Butler et al., Cohen and Taylor, and Woolf. The qualitative method is used in the contextual analysis focusing on the character, conflict, and setting. The result shows that the wife subtly resists the constricting patriarchal atmosphere in the household by constructing a private area in which she actualizes herself in the world of poetry. Her great success enables her to enter a new and different zone where she is the star. This makes the husband feel uncomfortable and even insulted but he cannot do anything because his wife still shows her respect to him and she does nothing unlawful against him.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze how the female protagonist in Harpers novel entitled Iola Leroy, although a mulatto, embodies the spirit of black feminism. To carry out the analysis, feminist literary criticism is used as the frame of analysis linked with gynocriticism. Several concepts concerning black feminism including empowerment, solidarity and sisterhood are used to support the frame of analysis. The result shows that the female mulatto protagonist, who does not know that she has black blood, all of a sudden experiences real slavery. This harsh turning point on her previously comfortable life leads to her new insight about slavery, about her race, and about her personal existence as a woman. The last point results not only in the emergence of the spirit of black feminism but also in the application of this spirit to other blacks, especially the black women. The convergence of thought and action makes the female mulatto protagonist turns out from the victim of slavery into the agent of change for the black race.

Keempat, self dalam diri Rei ditunjukkan dalam bentuk perjuangan untuk mencapai keseimbangan taraf kesadaran dan ketaksadaran saat berpisah dengan pasangannya. Struktur ketaksadaran tokoh Rei memengaruhi kon ik yang terjadi dalam dirinya maupun dengan tokoh yang lain.

Abstract

The focus of analysis in this paper is about how the power of the powerful is deconstructed by people in the peripheral sphere. The male protagonist, Tan Peng Liang, is a peripheral Chinese man who does not only deconstruct the central power controlled by powerful ruler of different race, but he also deconstructs the power of the Chinese committee officially established by the colonizer. On the other side, Tinung, ca bau kan Jodo River, is a poor, illiterate Javanese woman who deconstructs Tan Peng Liang’s power. Using Derridean deconstructive approach towards the text, it can also be known that the deconstructive attempts applied by Tan Peng Liang tend to be deliberate, full of calculated power, using all means, with the purpose of gaining profit and power. On the other side, Tinung’s deconstructive attempts tend to be accidental, soft and natural, based on the power of the powerless, but have no purpose of gaining profit or power for herself.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze women from a cultural perspective based on R.A. Kartini’s thoughts and struggles. The focus of the study is on R.A. Kartini’s thoughts and struggles concerning the custom of “pingitan” (seclusion), non-schooling culture, and polygamy culture closely related to the life of Javanese noble women. This paper also analyzes the perspective underlying the thinking and struggle of R.A. Kartini. The last discussion critically analyzes R.A. Kartini’s thoughts and struggles to devise a study of feminism that touches the root of Indonesian culture which would be very appropriate to study women's problems in local culture. The result of the study shows that the thinking and struggle of R.A. Kartini are sharpened and hegemonized by Western thinking about emancipation and equality when criticizing the existence of Javanese noble women in the custom of seclusion, non-schooling culture, and polygamy culture.
