    OUTCASTE BY CHOICE: RE-GENDERINGS IN A SHORT STORY BY OKA RUSMINI HARRY AVELING da Ayu Oka Rusmini is a major contemporary Indonesian author. She Ihas published two novels—Tarian Bumi (2000)1 and Kenanga (2003); a collection of short stories, Sagra (2001)2; and a volume of poetry, Patiwangi (2003, republished in 2007 as Warna Kita with the omission of some 12 poems). Born in Jakarta in 1967 of Balinese parents, she was a member of the highest Balinese caste, the brahmana caste,3 but renounced this status, including her title, after her marriage to the East Javanese essayist and poet Arif B. Prasetyo. Oka Rusmini is a graduate of the Indonesian Studies Department, Udayana University, and lives in Den Pasar where she works as a journalist for the Bali Post. Most of Oka Rusmini’s prose works explore the constraints which the socio-religious practices of caste place on all members of society, but most especially on women. Both of her novels tell of a woman’s abandonment of her brahmin caste status as the result of her marriage to a sudra. The title of the poetry book, Patiwangi, refers to the ritual practice by which this degradation is confirmed, and the poem which gives the book its title bears the footnote: “Patiwangi: pati = death; wangi = fragrant. Patiwangi is a ritual which is performed on a noble woman in her Village Temple to remove her noble status as a consequence of having married a man of a lower caste. The ritual often has a serious psychological impact on noble women” (107).

    Journal of Education and Social Sciences, Vol. 5, issue 3, (October) ISSN 2289-1552 2016 CULTURAL CRITICISM OF BALINESE WOMEN UPON BALINESE TRADITION: A STUDY OF FEMINIST LITERATURE Made Rai Arta,S.Pd,M.Pd Department of Language Education, Post Graduate Program Ganesha University of Education, Bali-Indonesia E-mail :[email protected] Abstract Cultural discourse in Balinese people relates to social discourse which lives in line with current development within an ethnic entity. This writing aims at giving articulation in form of comprehension upon the existence of Balinese women in criticizing something felt as cultural unfairness which marginalizes themselves as individual and women. The study is in form of feminist literature which focuses on woman representation in the world of literature. The existence of feminist theory is intended to elevate the marginalization of woman literary works or marginalization of woman in literature. There are three focuses, namely: 1) giving text of woman author work, 2) discussing woman character in literary work, and 3) studying the response of woman reader upon the literature. The cultural criticism conducted by Balinese women in the novels of Balinese writer such as AA PanjiTisna, Oka Rusmini, Putu Wijaya concerns about the existence of cultural rebellion which is related to monolithic opinion by emphasizing on patrilineal society system, tradition and religious system of Balinese people framed by Hindus belief. In religious system of Balinese people there is a belief of destiny as a life that should be accepted as the consequences of karma (act). Bad actions done by the characters in the novel is a representation of the writer.

  • Contesting Caste Identity
    CHAPTER V Contesting caste identity Literature and caste issues Caste is one of the dominant themes in Indonesian literature from Bali, and issues to do with caste recur in all literary genres including poetry, prose and drama.1 In the 1920s and 1930s, caste was the foremost subject matter used in poetry, which was the most common genre during this period. During the national revolution period, caste based-themes continued to appear, but less frequently, because during this period Balinese writers, like those elsewhere in Indonesia, were concerned with more compelling issues such as the national revolution, poverty, morality, the leadership crisis, and national identity. Preoccupied with these national social and political issues, Balinese writers rarely wrote about local subjects such as caste. However, during the New Order period, when the regime pro- hibited the use of the arts and literary works for social and political propaganda and particularly for criticism of itself, Balinese writers returned to exploring local issues, especially the impact of the development of tourism and the confl ict between modernity and local customs, such as the caste system. Almost every Balinese writer has written about caste, which in the Reformation period is still a leading topic. It has been used by recent Balinese writers as a basis for short stories, novels and poetry written in Indonesian, and is also 1 The structure of the caste system in Bali and its terminology were outlined in Chapter II.

    Reading Ayu Utami: Notes toward a Study of Trauma and the Archive in Indonesia Laurie J. Sears * Then it was 1966 and just remembering the date makes people here shudder, even little things about any neighbor who was killed when the troops of the angel of death incarnated on earth as humans, but we never knew who they were. We only knew when they were already herding us toward the gaping hole, their faces dark and eyes missing. We couldn't trust anybody, not our lovers, not even our own selves. Because at that time only by pointing to someone else could we save ourselves, moving death over our heads over the heads of others.1 Ayu Utami, Larung * Thanks to Celia Lowe, Wolfgang Linser, and Tikka Sears for reading versions of this essay, to Francisco Benitez for his help with interpretation, and to Lauren Kronmiller, who brought my attention to some of the cited sources. I am particularly grateful to Henk Maier for his generous readings and comments on this essay. I also thank my colleague John Toews, noted scholar of European Intellectual History, for letting me sit in on his class "The Psychoanalytic Revolution in Historical Perspective" in Fall 2006. Thanks also to Tinuk Yampolsky, who helped me arrange and then hosted the interview with Ayu Utami. ^'Ketika itu tahun 66, tetapi mengingat angka tahunnya pun orang di sini gentar, apalagi hal kecil tentang siapa saja tetangga yang dibunuh, dan sukan malaikat maut turun ke bumi menjelma manusia, namun tak kita kenali yang mana. Kita hanya tahu ketika mereka telah menggiring kita ke muka lubang, wayah mereka yang gelap dan mata yang hilang.

She has published two novels, Tarian Bumi (The Dance of the Earth, 2000) and Kenanga (2003a); a collection of short stories, Sagra (2001); and a volume of poetry, Patiwangi (2003b, republished in 2007 as Warna Kita, Our Colours, with the omission of some 12 poems).

Most of Oka Rusmini’s prose works explore the constraints that the socio-religious practices of caste place on all members of society, but most especially on women, who are expected to marry respectfully within the existing caste structure and bear children who will continue to perform appropriately contextualised roles of domination and subordination.
