Abstract

White domination in America can make white ideology of beauty spread and influence the African-American society. Toni Morrison’s novels, The Bluest Eye and God Help the Child, depict the influence. This study attemps to uncover the intersecting oppression of race and gender in the novels and to explain how African-American women cope with the oppression. This study is descriptive qualitative research. The data sources are Morrison’s novels The Bluest Eyeand God Help the Child. The study has two findings. Firstly, African-American society experiences oppression as an impact of the white beauty hegemony. The most disadvantageous oppression is the internalization of white beauty values. Holding such values makes African-American women feel inferior and hate their own physical characteristics that are far from the white ideal of beauty. Meanwhile, African-American women who have darker skin colors experience the hardest oppression because they also become the victims of oppression committed by some circles of African-American society, which tend to consider them unequal. It reflects the complexity of oppression experienced by African-American women. Secondly,self-consciousness is the main factor of attempts to release them from the oppression. Without self-consciousness, African-American women can be trapped in values that deteriorate their self-pride of identity.Keywords: intersecting oppression, African-American women, skin color

Abstract

This article is about a research aimed at finding the forms of Williams'desire which is unfulfilled or repressed into his unconscious mind as sublimated inhis play, A Streetcar Named Desire. In other words, Williams' main inventedcharacters, Blanche and Stanley, whose personalities are shaky or chaotic,represent the expression of the playwright's unbalanced personality which issublimated in the play.The research is conducted by tracing Williams' life and understanding theplay A Streetcar Named Desire as well as the criticism on it and his other works ofwhich the aspects are comparable. To come to the desired aim, psychoanalyticcriticism is aptly opted to expose the issue. In relation to the various schools ofpsychoanalysis, the research applies Freud's psychoanalytic perspective, focusingon the relationship between the author and his work.The research results show the following. Firstly, A Streetcar NamedDesire was written on the basis of Williams' life, especially his childhood andyouth, in which he experienced unhappy and inharmonious relationship with hisfather and, as a consequence, it made his personality chaotic or unbalanced, whichthen brought about sexual perversion in him, making him a passive homosexual.Secondly, the perverted sexual behavior of his was as a matter of fact themanifestation of his rebellion against his father, which he then expressed throughhis work. Thirdly, such behavior was inappropriate in the American cultural andsocial life during his life span and, therefore, he had to repress his desire because itwas impossible for him to release his libidinous drive so that, to avoid neurosis, hesublimated it in literature. In other words, A Streetcar Named Desire is thesublimation of Williams' repressed libido to express his rebellion against his fatherand to release his libidinous drive. In that case, he creates Stanley and Blanche ashis fantasy to escape from his repression though only a minute's escape.Key words: Tennessee Williams, childhood, chaotic personality, libido, father,repression, neurosis, sublimation, Blanche, Stanley

Abstract

Tiga novel Umberto Eco, The Name of The Rose, Baudolino, dan Foucault’s Pendulum, dengan lingkup latar masing-masing yang dikisahkannya, membantu pembaca Indonesia guna lebih mengenal kondisi Eropa, khususnya kondisi Eropa pada abad pertengahan, suatu rentang waktu dalam sejarah Eropa yang panjang dengan berbagai peristiwa historis lainnya. Meskipun berupa novel, informasi faktual yang disampaikan lewat ketiga novel tersebut dapat memperkaya wawasan pembaca guna mengetahui situasi Eropa pada masa abad pertengahan, meliputi rentangan teritorial yang melampaui kawasan Eropa sekarang, bahkan juga mengisahkan suatu kelompok sosial yang memegang peran penting dalam perjalanan sejarah Eropa. Novel‐novel Eco tampaknya tidak mudah dipahami oleh pembaca Indonesia, apalagi tentang detail yang dipaparkan mengenai sejarah Eropa abad pertengahan, terkait dengan detail situs-­‐situs geografis dan tokoh-tokoh utama yang menjadi titik penting dalam perjalanan sejarah Eropa. Meskipun demikian, hal ini bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai wahana pembelajaran sejarah, khususnya sejarah Eropa abad pertengahan. Abstract: Umberto Eco’s novels, The Name of The Rose, Baudolino, and Foucault’s Pendulum, with each specific setting, can help Indonesian readers to understand Europe, particularly in the Middle Ages, a long period in the European history which has various other historical events. Although the works are imaginary, the factual information in the novels can enrich the readers’ knowledge about the situation of Europe in the period of time, including the territorial extent which exceeded the present European territory. The works, in fact, tell aboutthe social group which played significant roles in the history of Europe. For Indonesian readers, it is not easy to understand the novels, let alone the details related to the history of Europe in the Middle Ages, the geographical sites, and the important people who played significant roles in the European history. However, the novels can be used as a medium for learning history, particularly the Medieval Europe. Key Words: history of Europe; novels; setting; learning; Indonesian readers
