Abstract

This study examines violations committed by men and gender-based power as depicted in three selected Indonesian translated short stories: Flaming Eyes by Sylviana, The Mistress and The Lady by Anindita S. Thayf, and The Sacred Waterfall by Candra Padmasvasti. This study aims to analyze how male domination is formed through cultural and social norms, as well as how women respond to this domination in each narrative. Using Michel Foucault's theory of Power and Control and Ani Purwanti's concept of GBV. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on text analysis and in-depth reading. The stories are analyzed to reveal how male characters use control to dominate women, as well as how female characters respond. The findings show that male power is reinforced not only through physical actions but also through accepted rules and the silence maintained by the community. Women in these stories often experience trauma and fear, but their resistance emerges in unexpected ways, such as through spiritual rituals and symbolic rejection of patriarchal roles. In conclusion, the three selected short stories show that male transgressions continue to exist in all eras. Literature provides a space where male transgressions in the form of gender-based violence can be exposed. These stories encourage readers to reflect on the unequal power dynamics that still exist in Indonesian society and to begin shifting the discussion toward justice and recognition of women's voices and experiences./Penelitian ini mengkaji pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh pria dan kekuasaan berbasis gender sebagaimana digambarkan dalam tiga cerpen Indonesia yang diterjemahkan: Flaming Eyes karya Sylviana, The Mistress and The Lady karya Anindita S. Thayf, dan The Sacred Waterfall karya Candra Padmasvasti. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana dominasi pria terbentuk melalui norma-norma budaya dan sosial, serta bagaimana perempuan merespons dominasi tersebut dalam setiap narasi. Menggunakan teori Kekuasaan dan Pengendalian Michel Foucault serta konsep Kekerasan Berbasis Gender Ani Purwanti. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, dengan fokus pada analisis teks dan pembacaan mendalam. Cerita-cerita tersebut dianalisis untuk mengungkapkan bagaimana karakter laki-laki menggunakan pengendalian untuk mendominasi perempuan, serta bagaimana karakter perempuan meresponsnya. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kekuasaan laki-laki diperkuat tidak hanya melalui tindakan fisik tetapi juga melalui aturan yang diterima dan dipertahankan oleh masyarakat. Perempuan dalam cerita-cerita ini sering mengalami trauma dan ketakutan, tetapi perlawanan mereka muncul dengan cara yang tak terduga, seperti melalui ritual spiritual dan penolakan simbolis terhadap peran patriarkal. Kesimpulannya, dari ketiga cerpen yang dipilih menghasilkan bahwa pelanggaran laki-laki tetap ada hingga pada masa apapun. Dengan adanya sastra menyediakan ruang di mana pelanggaran laki-laki dalam bentuk kekerasan berbasis gender dapat diungkap. Cerita-cerita ini mendorong pembaca untuk merenungkan dinamika kekuasaan yang tidak setara yang masih ada dalam masyarakat Indonesia dan mulai mengarahkan pembicaraan menuju keadilan serta pengakuan terhadap suara dan pengalaman perempuan.
