Summary: | The research aimed at revealing of cultural identity in a postcolonial condition as it
founded in the novel Edensor by Andrea Hirata. Cultural identity could be understood
inconstantly as an entity of social construction and always proceed in place and time
which by means in the postcolonial condition, the problem of identity was being more
complex. The primary problem of the research that are, (1) cultural identity in the
postcolonial condition, (2) transforming of identity, and (3) searching and establishing
self-identity. Those problems were studied by using and employing such identity theory
in the postcolonial perspectives. Cultural identity viewed in a general view of cultural
identity and how Ikal, one of primary figure in Edensor, look himself and how was his
action.
The result of research shows that (1) the novel of Edensor expresses the cultural
identity as a social construction by means of ethnicity, religion, language, and nationstate.
The consciousness for cultural identity primarily appeared as a kind of social
construction caused by the encountering certain cultures in different place and time, (2)
the encounter of certain cultures in different place and time finally raises the
transformation of identity that is caused by its relation to a more dominant culture, i.e
Europe who raised inferiority, (3) the awareness for different identity in the perspective
of central and periphery considering Europe as the �self� and East as the �other�.
Nevertheless, consciousness as inferior was sometimes being appeared deliberately so as
Ikal might be accepted by given society or being strengthening his identity amongst the
differences. |
