POST-SPACE SEBAGAI BENTUK PERLAWANAN IMIGRAN TERHADAP TATANAN KOLONIAL DALAM NOVEL BRICK LANE KARYA MONICA ALI
Full text linkBrick Lane's is a post-colonial literary work that raises the issues of the Bangladeshi diaspora in England. The raise of diaspora writers who settled in Europe and America has colored modern world literature. The ideas of diaspora writers do not only present works with monolithic ideas, they have also presented various spatial constructions and identities about immigrants living in the Western world. This research was conducted as an effort to answer the formulation of the problem as follows: (1). What is the postcolonial spatial response in Brick Lane Monica Ali's novel? (2). How about urban space construction and postcolonial spatial strategy in the novel Brick Lane? This study uses qualitative research methods to explore how the author constructs postcolonial space and offers post-space in his work. Data was collected inductively through the depiction of characters in the novel and classified for later analysis using Spatial Politics Sara Upstone's theory. The results of this study indicate that the authors attempt to present chaos as a postcolonial spatial response. The chaos presented by the author appears when certain individuals in the novel feel discriminated against in a space with colonial-created boundaries and orders, either because of their identity or social class. The author also constructs city space by offering a strategy displacement in the form of transferring a sense of belonging to the smaller things that construct urban space, and the relationships between figures that make individuals feel comfortable with their existence
MELAMPAUI DOMINASI MASKULINITAS HEGEMONIK MELALUI TOKOH SUPERHERO GAY DALAM NOVEL HERO KARYA PERRY MOORE
Full text linkSuperhero is considered as an ideal figure with the image of hegemonic masculinity men. Hegemonic masculinity men are categorized as heterosexual, strong, intelligent, and dominant men. Meanwhile, homosexual men are subordinate masculinity. Perry Moore’s novel Hero presents the figure of a gay superhero.

The method used is descriptive-analysis. The data taken is in the form of quotations in the novel Hero. The data that has been collected will be analyzed using the hegemonic masculinity theory popularized by R.W. Connell. The results of this study indicate that Thom is categorized as subordinate masculinity because of his sexual orientation as well as his weak, and insecure nature. As a gay superhero, Thom faces several conflicts in academics, family, and neighbourhood. However, he showed that he could change the perceptions of people. Through this novel, Perry Moore tried to dismantle superhero stereotypes.
READING WORKS, INTERPRETING WORLDS: A POSTMODERN-LITERARY EXPLORATION IN FREDERIC JAMESON'S HORIZON
Full text linkThis conceptual article aims to explore literary works through the perspective of Fredric Jameson. Literary works have legitimacy as a critical space for real problems, however, many of them also expose the author’s ideological side or reality. This is the political unconsciousness. This research approach is grounded theory because this exploration moves from the empirical realm to the theory-based realm in analyzing data. The data are in the form of quotation statements taken from relevant reference books, articles or journals. The data collection technique is documentation because this research is a type of library research. The analysis technique is thematic analysis. From the exploration results, it can be seen that Jameson sees a text as a symbolic act, resistant but reproducible to the dominant ideology. This is the condition of reification, in which the subject (writer and/character) is drowning to a process of totalization towards unconsciousness which is inherent in ideological power. This is the political unconscious which leads us to the unmasking of cultural artifacts (literary texts) as interpreted social symbolic action

Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan membahas konsep gaze Hisyam Aljakh dengan perspektif Slavoj Žižek. Diskursus mengenai gaze dalam karya sastra menyangkut narasi representasi subjek pengarang dari eksterioritas simbolisnya. Representasi dari the other ini mengindikasikan adanya ideologi tertentu pada pengarang yang sudah terkonstruksi secara sistemik dan direpresentasikan melalui uraiannya.

Dalam konteks penelitian ini, gaze memperlihatkan bagaimana upaya yang dilakukan pengarang untuk memperlihatkan subjektivitasnya menuju posisi the real. Interpelasi the other terhadap subjek pengarang diperlihatkan dalam puisi “Atta’syirah” karya Hisyam Aljakh yang mengilustrasikan adanya konstruksi simbolis dari eksternal pengarang. Dengan metode analisis tekstual dan identifikasi konstruksi simbolis, penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa gaze berhasil mengkonstruksi ideologi pengarang dengan perjumpaan simbolis yang merepresentasikan eksternalnya sekaligus menunjukkan bahwa tulisan itu merupakan representasi dari tatanan simbolisnya.[Hisyam Aljakh’s Gaze in "Atta’syirah"] This research discusses the gaze concept of Hisyam Aljakh with Slavoj Žižek’s perspective. The discourse on gaze in literary works concerns the author’s narration of his subject representation and symbolic exteriority. This representation of the other indicates a the author’s certain ideology which is already systematically constructed and represented through the author’s explanation. The symbolic embodiment of the other on the author’s ideology brings it into the symbolic order, and subsequently makes it the object of desire.
