Analysis Of Postcolonial Feminism Theory : Note Of A Woman?S Struggle In Novel “Panggil Aku Kartini Saja” : Proceeding International Conference on Transformation in Communication (ICOTIC) November 2015

The struggle of a nation will be remembered if the nation treasures it as a heritage of knowledge and makes the history of the nation be passed on to generations after. Communications Study sees the process of knowledge heritage as one of its fields of study. Historical narration which depicts the nation?s struggle is in the field of Communications Study. Therefore, this research used historical and bibliographical approach. This research was based on a Postcolonial analysis of a biography novel by Pramoedya A. Toer titled “Panggil Aku Kartini saja” as a historical note. A rare study in communications, this research tried to display women?s efforts in freeing their gender off of “men-writers? eyes” domination. They are the women who want to grab the opportunity to go forward and to have choices in their life. The conclusion of the results of this research showed that firstly, as an evidence of the existance of postcolonial feminism theory, this novel had created a different point of view on communication studies. Secondly, the writer?s opinion towards Kartini?s struggle is very different with what had written by the colonials, since it bears a thicker “native” side on Kartini?s struggle. Personal conflicts and the success of the struggle was narrated through a Javanese cultural context which is dominated by patriarchal environment
