Description
Summary:This research is focused to an Indonesian literary work (postcolonial literature) and a Dutch Indies literary work (colonial literature): Bumi Manusia (1980, Pramoedya Ananta Toer) and De Stille Kracht (1900, Louis Couperus). Both are great authors in their countries, The Netherlands and Indonesia. They represented the native�s resistance in colonial life at the end of the 19 th century in Java. This research aims to find the form of the named resistance by using the postcolonial theory, structural analyse and comparing literature. I found out that the native�s resistance is showed by the mimic man (noble man and native civil servant), who entered the liminal space, �in-between� space. They mimic the colonisator to create their new identity, which is different from their original one, just looks like the identity they imitate. The mimic people imitate and resist at the same time (Minke dan Nyai Ontosoroh, BM), they practice camouflage (Soenario family, DSK). The mimic people are �dangerous� people manusia for the colonial authorities because of their resemblance and resistance. With the literary style of memoir, Minke as a character-focalizer resists toward colonial systeem : he rejects chance to be a regent and unjust law in the White-court. With the narration by narrator as a Third-person (narrator-focalizer), DSK reveals the narratee of warnings to the colonial government about threats of Islamic resistance and the story about native resistance by using mystic/magic. Both of these novels are using a different style, but they represent how mankind experiences the truth and facts about the cruelty of the colonial system in Dutch Indies
