Marginalisasi Etnis dalam Cerpen “Clara Atawa Wanita yang Diperkosa” karya Seno Gumira Ajidarma : Kajian Kritik Poskolonialisme
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk marginalisasi etnis yang terdapat dalam cerpen Clara Atawa Wanita yang Diperkosa karya Seno Gumira Ajidarma melalui kajian kritik poskolonialisme. Cerpen ini menggambarkan diskriminasi, kekerasan, dan ketidakadilan sosial yang dialami kelompok etnis tertentu di tengah konflik sosial yang terjadi dalam masyarakat Indonesia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan kritik sastra poskolonial. Data penelitian berupa kutipan-kutipan dalam cerpen yang menunjukkan adanya praktik marginalisasi etnis, stereotip, kekerasan, serta relasi kuasa antara kelompok mayoritas dan minoritas. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi pustaka dan teknik baca-catat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa marginalisasi etnis dalam cerpen tersebut tampak melalui tindakan diskriminasi, kekerasan seksual, penghilangan hak kemanusiaan, serta pembungkaman suara kelompok minoritas. Selain itu, cerpen ini juga memperlihatkan bagaimana trauma sosial dan ketimpangan kekuasaan menjadi dampak dari praktik marginalisasi tersebut. Dengan demikian, karya sastra ini tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai media estetik, tetapi juga sebagai kritik sosial terhadap realitas ketidakadilan dan penindasan etnis dalam masyarakat.
