Dekonstruksi Girl Power dalam Novel The Devil Wears Prada Karya Lauren Weisberger
Full text linkPenelitian ini menganalisis novel berjudul The Devil Wears Prada karya Lauren Weisberger dengan menggunakan dekonstruksi Jacques Derrida. Melalui perspektif Derrida, penelitian ini berusaha untuk menjelaskan representasi girl power dan feminisme dalam novel. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode wacana kritis. Adapun hasil yang didapat pada penelitian ini adalah gambaran girl power seperti perempuan powerful yang dapat bebas bekerja di ranah publik, berintelektual, dan mandiri diposisikan sebagai logos sehingga menempatkan perempuan yang gigih namun tidak memiliki power sebagai pihak yang inferior. Melalui pembacaan ulang, ketergantungan Miranda kepada orang lain menggeser status powerfulnya menjadi seorang yang powerless. Karena ketergantungan tersebut, eksistensi Andrea yang semula anonim dan powerless berubah menjadi seorang yang powerful. Adapun aturan-aturan yang dibuat oleh Miranda dalam perusahaan bukan untuk membebaskan perempuan dari jerat patriarki namun hal tersebut semakin mengukuhkan intervensi patriarki.Kata kunci: Dekonstruksi, girl power, The Devil Wears PradaThis study analyzes a novel entitled The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger using deconstruction by Jacques Derrida. Through Derrida's perspective, this study aims to reread and explain the representation of girl power and feminism in the novel. This research uses a critical discourse method. The result shows that strong women who work, are intellectual, independent, and active in public areas and place women who are persistent but do not have power as a lower party. Through Derrida's perspective, Miranda's dependence on others shifts her powerful status to a powerless person. Because of this dependency, Andrea's existence which was originally anonymous and powerless turned into a powerful person. The rules made by Miranda in the company are not to free women from the trappings of patriarchy but this will further strengthen patriarchal intervention.Keywords: Deconstruction, girl power, The Devil Wears Prad

Being placed in this feudalistic position, women then respond with struggles for equality
Ecological Awareness Reconstruction in Kuntowijoyo’s Novel Mantra Pejinak Ular
Full text linkEnvironmental issues have become a topic of discussion in the last few decades. Kuntowijoyo, a well-known novelist in Indonesia, also pays serious attention to the environmental issues through his literary works. This study uses a critical discourse analysis method with an ecocritical approach to reveal and explain the forms of ecological awareness reconstruction which are contained in Kuntowijoyo's novel Mantra Pejinak Ular. The results are as follows. Reconstructions are carried out from a perspective, a way of behaving, a mode of transportation, a model of recreation, and an investment model towards the environment. (1) The reconstruction of the perspective is carried out by rebuilding human consciousness to build harmony with nature. (2) The reconstruction of how to behave is carried out by prioritizing actions to preserve nature. (3) The reconstruction of transportation mode is carried out by warding off the bad social stigma of natural transportation modes. (4) The reconstruction of the recreation model is carried out by enjoying the beauty of animals without cutting them off from their original habitat. (5) The reconstruction of the investment model is carried out by applying an investment model with an ecological perspective that prioritizes environmental sustainability as a legacy for future generations
Writing as Witnessing, Poetry as Agency of Aid: The Five Poems from Typhoon Yolanda Relief Anthologies
Full text linkThe strong typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan), which buffeted the central Philippine region on November 2013 spurred the publication of several relief anthologies, so-called because they were primarily intended to raise funds for the disaster victims. This paper argues that as a distinct method of volunteerism, the poems that comprise the Yolanda relief anthologies are ecopoems which not only bear intrinsic ecological themes that confront an environment in crisis but also embody what Filipino poet Luisa A. Igloria describes as a "work of witness and deep engagement" in a time of climate and humanitarian crisis. In analyzing the five poems from two Yolanda relief anthologies, namely, Agam: Filipino Narratives on Uncertainty and Climate Change and Verses Typhoon Yolanda: A Storm of Filipino Poets, this paper utilizes the theories developed by the Filipino poets who are themselves contributors to these relief anthologies, specifically on how poetry is an act of witnessing and functions as an agency of symbolic aid. The findings contribute to the discourse on ethical literature and thus suggest that the existing brand of Philippine ecopoetry allows for poems that articulate empathic and hopeful agency towards climate-related disaster survivors
Hasrat Pengarang dalam Novel Gentayangan Karya Intan Paramaditha: Kajian Psikoanalisis Jacques Lacan

Intan Paramaditha merupakan seorang warga negara ketiga yang telah lebih dari satu dekade hidup berpindah tempat dari satu kota dan negara. Makalah ini meneliti tentang hasrat Intan Paramaditha yang termanifestasikan dalam novel Gentayangan. Untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut, digunakan teori dan metode psikoanalisis Lacan. Psikoanalisis Lacan membahas hasrat manusia yang diungkapkan melalui bahasa atau penanda melalui mekanisme metafora dan metonimia. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa novel Gentayangan adalah manifestasi hasrat dan kekurangan Intan sebagai pengarang melalui hasrat untuk menjadi (narsistik) dan hasrat untuk memiliki (anaklitik) demi mencapai keutuhan diri. Dalam penelitian ini juga ditemukan bahwa sebagai subjek berhasrat dan berkekurangan, Intan melakukan perlawanan terhadap Yang Simbolik (hukum) melalui novel Gentayangan, dengan demikian dalam teori psikoanalisis Lacan, Intan Paramaditha adalah subjek maskulin yang mengalami pengebirian oleh adanya hukum atas nama ayah (ayah simbolik)

(2) Scrooge's identity and ideology which is dominated by Capitalism hegemony are not full and dynamic. The lack of identity fullness gives a possibility to the transformation of identity and ideology in Scrooge.
