Abstract
This research is taken from the novel Babel by R.F Kuang. In her novel, R.F Kuang explores themes of colonisation and the exploitation of resources and labour, offering a dark yet imaginative portrayal of these historical processes. The purpose of the research is to 1) show types of capitalism depicted in R.F Kuang’s Babel, 2) examine the impacts of capitalism towards the setting and characters in the story’s environment, 3) and discuss the author’s message on the topic of capitalism. This research employs a qualitative research method while also using theories such as Janet Adam Smith’s theory of Capitalism, and Frantz Fanon's theory of violence. The result of this research reveals three types of capitalism present in the novel: academic capitalism, colonial capitalism, and state capitalism. Through these three forms of capitalism, the author illustrates the resulting impacts within the story. These impacts include exploitation and inequality within the narrative's environment, as well as cultural erasure and dehumanization. The novel also portrays resistance and rebellion as responses to capitalism. From these impacts, the study identifies the conveyed messages, which critique exploitation and dehumanization, while emphasizing the importance of awareness of cultural identity. This study concludes that capitalism that is portrayed in the novel Babel becomes a discussing theme on revelling the negative affects of capitalism towards minority groups and the younger generations and how these groups have the power to reshape the injustice and discrimination of the flawed system.
