<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the narrative of love, memory politics, and identity negotiation in the novel Autumn Lovers by Laksmi Pamuntjak by integrating the hybridity theory of Homi K. Bhabha and the concept of narrative identity by Paul Ricoeur. This study uses a qualitative method with a textual analysis approach to examine narrative elements, memory representation, and character identity construction in text. The results of the study show that the narrative of love in the novel not only functions as a personal relationship, but also as a medium for articulating collective memory and historical trauma. The politics of memory is present through the fragmentation of memory that shapes the historical consciousness of the figure, while identity is constructed through a process of negotiation between personal experience, historical memory, and cross-cultural encounters. These findings confirm that identities in novels are fluid, hybrid, and constantly evolving through narrative processes. Thus, this study shows that love, memory, and history are interrelated in shaping the identity of subjects in the context of postcolonial society. The novelty of this research lies in an integrative approach that connects affective, narrative, and historical dimensions in a single analytical framework, thereby enriching interdisciplinary literature studies. ]]>
