Wacana Kekuasaan Perlawanan dan Ideologi dalam Novel Sekali Peristiwa di Banten Selatan Karya Pramoedya Ananta Toer: Analisis Wacana Kritis

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the discourse of power, resistance, and ideology in the novel Sekali Peristiwa di Banten Selatan by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. The approach used is critical discourse analysis, taking into account Michel Foucault's theory of power and Louis Althusser's ideology, as well as Edward Said's theory of resistance. The focus of this study is how the narrative in the novel depicts colonial oppression and the resistance of the Banten community as a socio-historical reflection. The results of the study show that this novel represents the discourse of power through the description of the colonialists' repressive actions against the Banten community, both physically and mentally. The discourse of resistance appears not only in the form of direct action, but also through symbolic resistance and efforts to maintain dignity amidst oppression. In addition, the ideology contained in the novel emphasizes the importance of solidarity and courage in facing injustice.In conclusion, this novel not only acts as a literary work, but also as a socio-political critique and a tool to voice resistance against oppression. Thus, Sekali Peristiwa di Banten Selatan has important historical and ideological relevance in understanding the dynamics of power and resistance in the context of colonial and postcolonial Indonesia.
