| Summary: | Fiction can act as a powerful of how identity is, and how the identity politics is constructed,moreover fiction may function as of what factual reality. Indonesian fiction today is abundant with popular novels, a genre in writing that dealing with young people facing problems in their public and private life. These popularlar narratives are always set in urban environments, and commonly have stories of cosmopolitan women in their teens or twenties concerned with issues such as beauty, fashion, shopping, sex, and the search for "prince charming". And one most important issue usually appears in those narratives is identity politics that these women construct in their everyday life: a gendered look at 'women and femininity'. |
