Abstract

Political injustice and repression often arise in authoritarian power systems and are often represented in literary works as a form of social criticism. This study aims to analyze the framing of injustice and political repression in the novel Laut Bercerita by Leila S. Chudori. The study uses a qualitative approach with a qualitative content analysis method. The analysis was conducted using the framing model of Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki which includes syntactic, script, thematic, and rhetorical structures. The research data consists of narratives and dialogues in the novel that describe the kidnapping, illegal detention, and torture of pro-democracy activists in the lead-up to the 1998 Reformation. The results show that the novel frames political repression as a systemic practice of state violence. The script structure displays a series of repeated violence, the syntactic structure positions activists as victims, the thematic structure emphasizes experiences of injustice and trauma, while the rhetorical structure strengthens meaning through metaphors and symbols. This novel functions as a social reflection as well as a critique of repressive power practices and the importance of protecting human rights.

Review

This study tackles a highly pertinent subject by examining the representation of political injustice and repression within literary works, particularly in the context of authoritarian power systems. The chosen text, Leila S. Chudori's *Laut Bercerita*, holds significant historical and cultural resonance, making it an excellent candidate for such an analysis. The research's clear objective — to analyze the framing of these critical issues — is commendably supported by a qualitative content analysis approach, guided by the robust Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki framing model. This methodological rigor promises a structured and insightful examination of a complex and emotionally charged narrative. The application of the Pan and Kosicki framing model is particularly effective in dissecting the novel's narrative strategies. By analyzing the syntactic, script, thematic, and rhetorical structures within narratives and dialogues depicting the harrowing experiences of pro-democracy activists leading up to the 1998 Reformation, the study powerfully reveals how the novel frames political repression as a systemic practice of state violence. The findings clearly articulate how the script structure conveys repeated acts of violence, the syntactic structure consistently positions activists as victims, the thematic structure emphasizes profound experiences of injustice and trauma, and the rhetorical structure skillfully amplifies these meanings through evocative metaphors and symbols. This detailed breakdown offers a compelling and nuanced understanding of the novel's narrative construction. Ultimately, the findings significantly enrich our comprehension of literature's capacity as a potent vehicle for social commentary and historical memory. By illustrating the intricate ways *Laut Bercerita* frames systemic state violence, the research reinforces the novel's crucial dual function as both a critical reflection on past repressive power practices and an impassioned critique. The study effectively concludes that the novel serves to underscore the enduring importance of protecting human rights, thereby making a strong case for the relevance of literary analysis in confronting and addressing vital societal challenges. This paper offers valuable insights into the profound intersection of literature, history, and political critique.
