Abstract

This study aims to analyse the representation of the body, trauma, and voice of Chinese women in Yusiana Basuki's novel Naga Kuning using Helene Cixous' postmodern feminist theory. Set against the backdrop of the May 1998 riots, this novel narrates women's bodies as spaces of historical wounds and sources of symbolic resistance. Through Cixous' concept of ecriture feminine, the writing of women's bodies is a strategy of resistance against patriarchal language. This study applies qualitative descriptive methods with close reading to analyse symbols, bodily metaphors, and linguistic rhythms that describe women's experiences as subjects who write themselves. The results show that the body in Naga Kuning represents the trauma of sexual violence and ethnic Chinese, as well as the local transformation from an object of power to a powerful subject through writing the body. The poetic, fragmentary, and emotional language in this novel reflects the practice of ecriture feminine, which liberates women's voices from phallocentric hegemony. This novel presents the female body as an aesthetic and political space for healing, memory, and post-traumatic identity formation.

Abstract

His study will describe the collective unconsciousness of archetypes in the character of Susi in the novel Kejatuhan dan Hati by Siti Roekiah. This study will use a descriptive qualitative method with data sources in the form of narrative and dialogue quotations that show four archetypes in the character of Susi. Data collection will be carried out using the observation and note-taking technique, which involves reading the data sources thoroughly, then recording the narrative and dialogue data in the novel. The collected data will then be entered into a data classification table for analysis through Jung's psychological perspective.The results of this study found that Susi's Persona is her true self when she has to behave according to her mother's wishes. Then, Susi's Shadow began to emerge when she realized that her mother had gone too far by forcing her to marry, followed by her Animus when Susi decided to join a movement that changed her into a personality that was very different from her former self. However, Susi never achieves Self within herself by the end of the novel because she remains bound by her ego.
