...Tugas Mata Kuliah Media dan Gender Nama : Irma Ratri Mahanani No. Mhs : 10531092 / pjik' 13 Falosentrisme pada novel Ayu Utami NOVEL Ayu Utami, Saman (1998) dan Larung (2001), sering disebut sebagai contoh karya dengan ciri “keterbukaan baru” dalam membicarakan seksualitas. Pada bagian-bagian novel yang menceritakan keempat tokoh perempuan-Shakuntala, Laila, Yasmin, dan Cok-seks menjadi tema utama. Perilaku seksual yang diceritakan hampir sepenuhnya bertentangan dengan norma masyarakat (Indonesia), dalam arti bukanlah hubungan heteroseksual yang disahkan oleh surat nikah. SHAKUNTALA memiliki kecenderungan biseksual, Laila jatuh cinta pada seorang laki-laki yang sudah menikah tapi akhirnya berhubungan seks dengan Shakuntala, Yasmin mengkhianati suaminya dengan sekaligus “memurtadkan” seorang pastor, lalu mewujudkan fantasi sadomasokisnya dengan bekas pastor tersebut, dan Cok gemar berganti-ganti pasangan. Kiranya tidak salah menyimpulkan dalam kedua novel tersebut, seksualitas direpresentasikan dengan cara provokatif. Representasi perilaku dan orientasi seksual yang demikian beragam dan gugatan terhadap stereotip perempuan yang pasif dengan mudah dapat membawa kita pada kesimpulan bahwa novel Ayu Utami jauh dari nilai heteronormatif dan falosentris, atau bahwa Ayu berhasil menciptakan representasi seksualitas yang berbeda (“lebih perempuan”) daripada yang kita kenal selama ini (di Indonesia). Apalagi ide-ide yang diungkapkan tampak...

...paint, “He looked at himself in astonishment, no longer at himself but at an awesome stranger…Beside the pool his sinewy body held up a mask that drew their eyes and appalled them. He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling… the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-conciseness,” (Golding 64). The “mask” that Jack paints on is a metaphor. Jack is not only camouflaging his face to kill the pigs, but he is covering up his morals; Jack is hiding the civilized part of him, which allows him to act in such savage and barbaric ways. Conversely, Piggy embodies the “superego”-his moral conscience impacts his decisions and guides him from right and wrong. In Rohitash Thapliyal and Shakuntala Kunwar’s Ecocritical Reading of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, each character is analyzed. From the start of the boys arriving on the island, Piggy is the most physically vulnerable. He portrayed as the “fat boy” with asthma and poor eyesight, who’s only use is watching the littluns while the biguns go explore and hunt. As the boys begin to reveal their hidden inner selves, Ralph realizes how Piggy is the brains on the island. Thapliyal and Kunwar explain Piggy’s...

...A Bombay Room With A View A Look at Gender in Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham It opens with a dialogue from Amitabh and Jeya Bachchan – “Why is it that a father is never able to tell his son how much he loves him? / But the mother? She keeps repeating it, whether her son listens to it or not.” This is the first words we hear from the movie Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham (KKKG), a Bollywood blockbuster marketed to the masses as “all about the family”. Released in 2001, following the path of director Karan Johar’s first movie, KKKG tells a multi-faceted story that is depicted over a long time period. The film centers around a family-driven drama where we track the storyline across 3 different generations. Amitabh Bachchan plays a wealthy businessman and the patriarch of the Raichand family with 2 sons – the elder Rahul, who is revealed early on to be adopted, and the younger Rohan. The crux of the film’s drama is drawn from the eldest son’s marriage to a woman from a lower socio-economic background, against the wishes of his father. Following the marriage, the father disowns Rahul and he leaves with his bride to London. The latter half of the movie is centered on Rohan’s storyline with his love interest, Pooja, and his attempts to bring Rahul and his family back into the family home in India. On the surface it seems we have entered yet another Bollywood film on family drama but KKKG goes beyond that. From the first few lines we can already witness the beginnings of a gender discourse...

Founded by Maharaja Sri Gupta, the dynasty is a model of a classical civilization. The peace and prosperity created under the leadership of the Guptas enabled the pursuit of scientific and artistic endeavors. This period is called the Golden Age of India and was marked by extensive inventions and discoveries science, technology, engineering, art, dialectic, literature, logic, mathematics, astronomy, religion and philosophy that crystallized the elements of what is generally known as Hindu culture. Chandra Gupta I, Samudra Gupta the Great, and Chandra Gupta II the Great were the most notable rulers of the Gupta dynasty. The 4th century CE Sanskrit poet Kalidasa, credits Guptas with having conquered about twenty one kingdoms, both in and outside India, including the kingdoms of Parasikas (Persians), the Hunas, the Kambojas tribes located in the west and east Oxus valleys, the Kinnaras, Kiratas etc. The high points of this cultural creativity are magnificent architecture, sculptures and paintings.

...India, or Bharat, the fifth largest and the second populated country in the world, is one of the few countries which can boast of an ancient, deep-rooted and diverse culture, which stretches back to 5000 years. In ancient times, India was known as 'Bharata Varsha', the country of the legendary king of Puranic times called Bharat, and was believed to be a part of the island continent called 'Jambu Dvipa'. Geologically speaking, India formed part of the Gondwana land and was attached to Antarctica and Australia, before it was liberated from the Antarctica complex about 135 million years ago and started drifting towards the north and finally joining South Asia about 45 million years ago. The Siwalik foothills of the north-western Himalayas served as home to the fossil primate genus known as Ramapithecus, which lived some 14 million years ago. Researches have also found that a species resembling the Australopithecus lived in India some 2 million years ago. Some anthropologists believe that the Chotanagpur region witnessed the transformation of Homo Erectus to Homo Sapiens. This claim is based on the findings of hand axes and blades in the region of Pathalgarwa and the discovery of Harappan pottery in the nearby areas. Early Civilisations Extensive archaeological excavations carried out at Mohenjodaro in the present Pakistan in 1922 brought to light the existence of a highly sophisticated and urbanized culture known as the Harappan Civilization in India, which dominated the north-western...

In early India, most of the arts were derived Vedic influences. After the birth of contemporary Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism arts flourished under the patronage of kings and emperors. The coming of Islam spawned a whole new era of Indian architecture and art. Finally the British brought their own Gothic and Roman influences and fused it with the Indian style. They have a culture infusion in their art.

...INDIAN ART INTRODUCTION Study of history of art has developed in association with archaeological studies; however, it is now recognized as a specialized discipline. In the West, mainly in Europe, historical art as a discipline has grown considerably with numerous methodological inputs, whereas in India it is still in the process of development in its investigating mechanisms. As the study of art history has grown out of extensive documentations and excavations, one finds description of art objects as the prominent method of study. There are a few significant studies in the early twentieth century, where the concerns are addressed beyond mere description. Subsequently several generations of outstanding western and Indian scholars of Indian art history have studied the subject in great depth and the findings are a revelation of how glorious has been the Indian civilizational achievement through its art creations in the medium of architectural monuments, sculptures and paintings. We can claim a distinct Indian approach to the art of building edifices, sculpture making and the language of painting when compared with European art or the Far Eastern art. Therefore, Indian historical art studies have emerged as a prestigious academic discipline in the university level education. ART - ANCIENT &MEDIEVALTIMES Arts of the Indus Valley The arts of the Indus Valley Civilization emerged during the second half of the third millennium BCE in the Indian sub continent. The...

Bibliography Pg.20 ABSTRACT Women have always been an integral part of society. However, more often than not their contribution in the human society has been ignored. This gave rise to the need of empowering women and hence the feminist movement. This research project aims to comprehend and analyze the very essence of Feminism in terms of the 3rd wave and in Indian context. It also analyses the myths associated with feminism and the flaws which lead to the ambiguity in the whole concept of feminism. Further, the paper discusses as to whether the term “feminism” can be brought under one general definition or there is much more to it. INTRODUCTION DEFINITION "A woman should be barefoot, pregnant and chained to a stove," stated Ben Glantz, a high school senior. Drew Pershing, another senior, also shared a joke, "What does a woman do after she leaves a battered shelter? The dishes...if she knows what's good for her!" Daily jokes and comments such as these, no matter how harmless, are detrimental to the status of women and a dangerous undermining of their accomplishments. Shared by both genders, sexually discriminative comments are widely accepted in society as normal and harmless. "I didn't mean anything by that; I was just kidding," whimpered Ben Glantz after receiving several cold stares from young women who overheard...
