Abstract

Perempuan kerap dikisahkan berbeda oleh pengarang laki-laki, seperti halnya tokoh Laisa dalam novel Bidadari-bidadari Surga (BBS) karya Tere Liye. Laisa yang merupakan tokoh utama dan memainkan peran yang sangat signifikan dalam narasi ini, digambarkan dengan cara yang cukup menyedihkan dalam narasinya. Akibatnya, karakter ini dikaburkan oleh kehadiran karakter lain. Analisis deskriptif dengan perspektif gender akan digunakan untuk menunjukkan bagaimana pengarang menyembunyikan keberadaan Laisa dan berupaya menghilangkan sosoknya secara bertahap. Kajian ini juga menggunakan teori Braidotti dan Tuchman untuk menganalisis bagaimana proses monsterisasi dan nihilisasi terhadap tokoh Laisa dilakukan. Upaya Liye untuk menghapus karakter Laisa dari novelnya akan dianalisis menggunakan teori symbolic annihilation. Di akhir analisis, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengarang dalam cerita ini, memiliki berbagai cara mendeskreditkan perempuan. Oleh karena tidak adanya kestabilan ideologi domestik.

Women are often narrated differently by male authors, as is the case with Laisa's character in Tere Liye's novel Bidadari-bidadari Surga (BBS). Laisa, who is the main character and plays a very significant part in this narrative, is described in a quite depressing manner in the narration; as a result, the presence of other characters obscures this character. Descriptive analysis with a gender perspective will be used to prove how the author conceals Laisa's existence and attempts to gradually remove her figure. This research also employs Braidotti and Tuchman’s theory to investigate how the process of monsterization and nihilation of Laisa develops. Liye's efforts to remove the character of Laisa from his novel will be aided, however, if he makes use of the symbolic annihilation theory in the process. At the end of the analysis, it can be revealed that the author discredits women in many ways, owing to a lack of domestic ideological stability.
