Abstract

This article examines the concept of madness as a form of resistance in Han Kang's novel The Vegetarian, which deeply depicts a woman's psychological and bodily rebellion against the shackles of a patriarchal and conformist Korean society. The main character, Yeong-hye, exhibits behavior labeled as "madness" after she decides to stop eating meat—a decision that later develops into a rejection of language, social expectations, and even her own body. Drawing on Michel Foucault's theory of madness as a social construction and R.D. Laing's anti-psychiatry perspective, this study argues that Yeong-hye's descent into what is considered madness is not simply a mental disorder, but a conscious form of resistance embodied through the body. Her rejection of familial and societal norms represents an attempt to reclaim agency in a world that often oppresses women's subjectivity. Through a close reading of the narrative, this article reveals how The Vegetarian critiques mechanisms of control, discipline, and normalization within domestic and institutional structures. Ultimately, Yeong-hye's madness emerges as a counter-narrative that shakes the rational order and challenges dominant ideologies about gender, conformity, and sanity.

Abstract

This paper examines Perempuan Batih by A. R. Rizal within the framework of Indonesia in the making, positioning customary women as key subjects in the process of contemporary Indonesia’s social and cultural formation. Through representations of batih or nuclear family life, the text reveals that adat or customary norms do not operate as a fixed value system, but rather as a social practice that is continuously shaped, negotiated, and contested amid changing times. Employing approaches from the sociology of literature and feminist literary criticism, this paper analyzes value conflicts, gender relations, domestic labor, and shifts in authority within the domestic sphere as reflections of broader social dynamics. The analysis shows that women in Perempuan Batih are not merely portrayed as guardians of tradition, but also as agents of change who actively participate in the production of meaning surrounding adat. This paper argues that the text offers a critical reading of Indonesia as a process of becoming, in which women’s adat plays a significant role in shaping Indonesia’s present and future.
