| Summary: | This research explains about representation of subaltern�s voice in The
Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh, a novel written by Mahasweta Devi. That action aims to
develop a deeper analysis about subaltern phenomenon in the novel, regardless of
the descriptive analysis. In addition, this research also aims to construct a critical
reading.
The critical reading in this research will be done by using the concept of
subalternity proposed by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. According to her
definition, subaltern is a position without any identity and there is no space from
which the subaltern as subject can speak. In finding out how Mahasweta Devi
represents the subalternity through The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh, aside from using
the subaltern theory, the writer also uses the deconstruction reading method. With
the discovery of the binary oppositions, it will be seen that one side of the unit is
the privileged opposition, hierarchical, and other are the marginalized.
In this novel, the hierarchical oppositional forces shape the dominant
structure which describes the social life of low class citizen in India. Mahasweta
Devi not only develops the dominant structure through characters and sequence of
events but she also represent another perspective where subaltern can speak and
do something better toward their life with actions of rebellion. The representation
of subaltern�s voice in this novel is being questioned by interrogating the author�s
hierarchy reversal of dominant structures in the novel. Thus, it would be revealed
another data that it is likely to contradict the author's description of her own
hierarchy reversal. |
