Keywords:
Basur, Geguritan, novel, representation, womenAbstract
This study aims to determine the representation of Balinese women in Geguritan Basur and Basur novel. This research employs a qualitative design to gain a deep understanding of social phenomena and human behavior through non-numerical data collection. Data were collected through a literature study, with reading, note-taking, and interview techniques. Data analysis was conducted by comprehensively describing and analyzing the data, providing an adequate understanding and explanation. The results of this study show that the representation of Balinese women in Geguritan Basur and the novel Basur creates a complex and ambivalent image. In both works, Balinese women are portrayed as not only bound to patriarchal norms but also as individuals who struggle, are intelligent, and have agency capable of handling social pressures. The findings of this study are as follows. First, in Geguritan Basur and the novel Basur, Balinese women are represented in various social roles. This representation reflects a kind of dualism regarding the position and role of Balinese women. On the one hand, Balinese women are presented as the guardians of tradition and morality. On the other hand, they are also placed in a subordinate position or as the most disadvantaged party.
