Get PDFSutasoma novel composed by Cok Sawitri is based on Sutasoma Kakawin written by Mpu Tantular. Both writings, novel and kakawin (poem), form a different literature genre. The genre transformation from kakawin to novel indicates that Tantular’s Sutasoma finds its transformation in Sawitri’s Sutasoma. Based on this, this article aims at elaborating the transformed elements in the two writings and discussing whether the transformation also has changed the textual stuctures (story), messages, functions. Structural analysis to the texts shows that the transformation has happened to the protagonist, Jayantaka, forming a transformation from Sutasoma and conversely, Sutasoma forms a transformation from Jayantaka. Novel seems to have voiced freedom in choosing faith, whereas kakawin voices the only one best religion. The transformation, however, keep their textual structure and functions unchanged, i.e. life history and serving as a legitimacy for Budhism as the best religion, which during the Majapahit era had been seen as the second and inferior.

REPRESENTASI SEKSUALITAS DALAM TIGA NOVEL PEREMPUAN INDONESIA: SAMAN, LARUNG, DAN NAYLA
Get PDFArtikel ini mendiskusikan representasi seksualitas dalam karya sastra dari perspektif perempuan. Dengan menganalisis Saman, Larung, dan Nayla, saya akan menunjukkan representasi seksualitas melalui ekspresi hasrat seksual, figur personal, wacana tubuh, metafora seks perempuan, pernikahan, stereotip seks perempuan, dan pemerkosaan terhadap perempuan. Pada masa lampau, membicarakan seksualitas dalam karya sastra adalah ranah penulis lelaki. Kesadaran ideologis di antara para penulis perempuan, khususnya yang disebabkan oleh wacana feminisme, menjadikan mereka berani menulis tidak hanya tentang perasaan mereka, tetapi pilihan mereka dalam menjalani hidup, termasuk hasrat dan pilihan seksual. Terlepas dari perdebatan kontroversial di antara kritikus sastra, dengan merepresentasikan seksualitas, penulis perempuan bisa menikmati kebebasan. Dengan kata lain, mereka menolak menjadi objek dari hasrat lelaki. Lebih jauh, dalam tiga novel tersebut, para tokoh perempuan melawan dominasi patriarkal.
