<![CDATA[This study explores the representation of hegemonic power in the novel Hatta: Aku Datang karena Sejarah by Sergius Sutanto using Antonio Gramsci’s hegemony theory. The novel illustrates ideological domination between ruling groups and subordinate classes. This research applies a qualitative-descriptive method and critical discourse analysis, focusing on narrative structures of hegemony. The results reveal three types of hegemony in the novel: integral, declining, and minimal. Integral hegemony is characterized by the voluntary internalization of dominant values. Declining hegemony reflects latent resistance from subordinate groups. Minimal hegemony indicates elite dominance with little or no consent from the masses. These hegemonies emerge in various social contexts, including familial relationships and colonial power structures. The novel also presents counter-hegemonic movements through nationalist resistance led by characters like Hatta and Soekarno against colonial rule. The study concludes that literature functions not only as a space to represent power and ideology but also as a critical medium for revealing hidden structures of domination and encouraging awareness of social injustice. ]]>
