Abstract

This study investigates Sharon L. Crasnow's perspective on the philosophy of science, specifically exploring its compatibility with feminist ideals. Crasnow introduces her notion of model-based objectivity as a reaction and expansion of the principles advocated by feminist empiricism, postmodernism, and Harding and Wylie's feminist standpoint viewpoint theory. Crasnow holds the belief that there is an inherent connection between science and value. The efficacy of grounding in scientific endeavor and the development of epistemic virtues depend on specific societal principles, such as acknowledging and appreciating women's contributions in scientific discussions. Feminism is not considered a dedicated adherence to a particular set of beliefs or ideology. Instead, people view feminism as a mindset or a critical scientific perspective. According to Crasnow, the best way to understand natural reality is to use a model to achieve a clear and objective understanding. The procedure entails identifying specific values that lay the groundwork for modeling. These values are evaluated by considering pragmatic variables and maximizing the achievement of goals. In this context, objectivity refers to the validation of a value based on its ability to improve people's lives to the fullest extent. This enhances the model's capacity to serve as a means of accomplishing it.

Abstract

Tulisan ini memuat pembacaan dekonstruktif atas sebuah karya sastra, yakni cerita pendek “Siapa Kirim Aku Bunga?” karya Eka Kurniawan. Sebagai sebuah kajian kualitatif diberdayakan metodologi filsafat, yaitu dekonstruksi, sebagai langkah metodis. Tujuannya, untuk memecah kebekuan makna oleh pemaknaan tunggal yang diusung oleh ideologi teks “Siapa Kirim Aku Bunga?”, utamanya terkait simbolisasi bunga mawar dan makna lain yang mengikutinya. Secara metodis, analisis berjalan dengan: (1) menentukan pusat teks, (2) inventarisasi oposisi-oposisi biner, (3) membalik hierarki metafisik, serta (4) mendiseminasi makna. Pada hasil pembacaan kritis yang digelar, teridentifikasi “bunga mawar sebagai tanda ungkapan cinta” menjadi pusat teks sekaligus pemaknaan lumrah dan prioritas payung oposisi biner, yang ditopang oleh sederet binaritas, di antaranya: “Eropa/Non Eropa”, “Noni/Gadis lokal”, “Pemerintah Hindia Belanda/Warga masyarakat lokal”, “Sopan/Tidak sopan”, “Pantas/Sembrono”, “Sama/Berbeda”, “Kolonial/Bumiputera”, “Pejabat/Jongos”, “Setelan Eropa/Kebaya Jawa”, “Normal/Aneh”. Ditegaskan bunga dan bunga mawar sebagai suatu undécidable atau ambiguitas, yang darinya lahir pembalikan atas hierarki metafisik pada binaritas yang ada, yang kemudian lewat diseminasi, ketunggalan makna berhasil didobrak. Hasilnya, bunga mawar tidaklah lagi sekadar dimaknai sebagai tanda/ungkapan cinta, melainkan berdasarkan logika internal teks sendiri dapat pula merentangkan signifikasi yang sebelumnya terabaikan, seperti: bunga mawar sebagai representasi rasa subversif dan perlawanan, makna keringnya cinta, atau perwujudan dari realitas pascakolonial seperti mimikri. Pembacaan dekonstruktif yang dilakukan juga berhasil mengangkat eksistensi krusial bunga mawar sebagai aktan atau agen non-manusia lewat pluralitas posibilitas simbolisasi yang dimungkinkannya. Pada akhirnya, melalui analisis atas cerita pendek ini juga berhasil diperlihatkan bagaimana metodologi filsafat seperti dekonstruksi diberdayakan untuk membuka pembacaan kritis atas teks secara lebih luas dan radikal.
