Abstract

This study aims to describe the representation of social criticism regarding the historical reality of the post-1965 era in Leila S. Chudori’s novel Namaku Alam. This study employs a qualitative method based on Alan Swingewood’s sociological approach to literature, which focuses on literature as a social document or a reflection of the times. The data source for this study is the novel Namaku Alam by Leila S. Chudori, published by Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia in 2023. The research data consists of dialogues, sentences, and paragraphs collected using documentation techniques and analyzed using hermeneutic techniques. The hermeneutic process involved the stages of identification, classification, codification, interpretation, and data presentation. The research findings indicate that the novel Namaku Alam represents a critique of the post-1965 historical reality through various repressive practices carried out by the state. First, state-sanctioned terror and persecution are represented through arbitrary arrests, forced disappearances, and intensive surveillance of individuals and families deemed to have ties to the PKI. Second, the manipulation of history is represented through the state’s control of historical narratives, whether through the construction of official history, public spaces, or the education system. Third, restrictions on freedom of expression are represented through pressure on academics and journalists, a strict licensing system, and the banning of book distribution. These findings indicate that the novel Namaku Alam serves not only as a work of fiction but also as a medium for social criticism that reflects the historical reality of post-1965 Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the physiological needs of the main character in Nadia Ristivani’s novel Hello Cello. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a literary psychology approach. This study uses a research design consisting of identifying research problems, reviewing literature, selecting research objects, collecting data, and identifying research. The data source in this study is the novel Hello Cello by Nadia Ristivani, with data consisting of quotations, sentences, and paragraphs in accordance with the description of the fulfillment of the physiological needs of the main character based on Maslow’s humanistic psychology study. The data collection technique was carried out by reading and noting, including the steps of preparing, reading, sorting, recording, and coding the data. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that Helga, as the main character, tries to fulfill five levels of needs, especially physiological needs, ranging from the need for food and drink, clothing, shelter, rest and sleep, and sexual needs. The fulfillment of these physiological needs became the basis for Helga to achieve balance in her life and recover from the emotional trauma caused by her failed relationship. Through the portrayal of Helga’s character, the novel Hello Cello emphasizes that psychological disorders can affect the fulfillment of basic human needs, and conversely, the fulfillment of physiological needs can be the first step towards emotional stability and self-actualization.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the representation of patriarchy in Sasti Gotama’s novel “Corpus Uterus” thru the perspective of Kate Millett’s radical feminism. This research was conducted on novel texts as the object of study, with the research period from October to December 2025. The research data consists of narrative quotes, dialog, and character descriptions that represent patriarchal practices in the lives of the female characters. Data collection was carried out using the read and note technique with intensive text reading. Data analysis was performed using a descriptive qualitative approach thru intensive reading, data grouping, and interpretation of meaning based on Kate Millett’s radical feminist framework. The research findings indicate that patriarchy in the novel is represented thru eight aspects: biological, ideological, sociological, class, economic and educational, coercion, myths and religion, and psychological. Patriarchy systematically works to limit women’s bodies, social roles, and the autonomy of female figures thru unequal power relations. Some of the female characters in this novel, particularly Kalimah, experience role limitations, violence, and psychological pressure as a result of the patriarchal system deeply rooted in social and cultural structures. This finding shows that women’s personal experiences in the novel are not separate from the patriarchal power structure that places women in a subordinate position. Thus, the novel Corpus Uterus represents patriarchy as a deeply rooted system that has a direct impact on women’s lives and experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the signified, the signifier, and the meaning generated from their relationship in representing the symbol of women's struggle in the character Sur in the film Penyalin Cahaya. The population in this study is all scenes in the film Penyalin Cahaya, while the research sample consists of scenes containing elements of signs relevant to women's struggles. The research instrument used is the researcher herself as the main instrument, with the aid of a data analysis table to systematically classify the signifiers and signifieds. The data collection technique was carried out through repeated observations of the film, while the data analysis tool used Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic approach with descriptive qualitative methods. Data validity was strengthened through time triangulation techniques. The results show that the signifiers in the film are manifested through various visual and narrative elements, such as lighting, color, and certain symbols that appear in the scenes. Meanwhile, the signifiers represent various forms of women's struggles, such as resistance to injustice, social pressure, trauma, and efforts to obtain justice. The relationship between the signifier and the signified produces the meaning of the symbol of women's struggle as a form of resistance to a patriarchal system and a culture that tends to blame the victim. Thus, this film not only functions as a medium of entertainment, but also as a means of social criticism of the reality of gender inequality in society.
