Abstract

Skandal aksi korup Presiden Donald Trump menyeretnya ke pemakzulan yang diputuskan oleh Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Amerika Serikat pada tanggal 18 Desember 2019. Tulisan ini membahas skandal aksi korup Presiden Trump sebagaimana dipaparkan dalam tiga kolom opini di koran daring The Washington Post, The Washington Times, dan Reuter. Dengan mengadaptasi analisis naratologis Berning (2011), pembahasan atas ketiga kolom opini tersebut dilakukan dengan cara menyikapi ketiga produk jurnalisme tersebut sebagai produk naratif, dengan memperhatikan jenis fokalisasi dan jenis narasinya. Tulisan ini pada akhirnya menyediakan simpulan berupa pandangan tentang bias politik dalam dua koran daring Amerika dan satu koran daring internasional tersebut tentang pemberitaan skandal aksi korup Presiden Trump.

Abstract

Marilyn Chin’s one and only novel, Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen (2009), presents highly fragmented narratives that revolve around the lives of three female Chinese Americans of two different generations in the process of reaching their immigrant American dreams. Such narrative characteristics prompt an analysis conducted in this article which parallels the series of maneuvers of the trio with Deleuze & Guattari’s systemic procedure of coup et flux (cut and flow). The aim is to show that the idea of assimilating American dream with the immigrant’s is a complex matter as it involves series of actions that compromise the two. The trio’s mode of action, the presence of textual divine intervention in the narrative fragments, and epigraphs from classical to popular texts encourage an analysis using narrative studies, focusing mainly on plot structure. In the context of negotiating Chinese American culture, this article argues that within the frame of tale of revenge, the process of reaching the immigrant American dream undergoes a series of endless systemic procedure of coup et flux. The negotiation process presented via uncertainty and series of transits in the novel thus causes endlessness that leads to an idea that the dream, the happiness, would never actually reach its definite ending point; it is merely a series of transits.
