DISKURSUS “ILLEGITIMATE SEXUAL ACTIVITY” ANAK BANGSA DALAM PERSPEKTIF TABLOID INDONESIA
ABSTRAK: In Indonesia, a
sexual activity that has not been legitimized by the state is one of the
realities that are constructed by the language of
"masculine-heterosexual". Which in that context is an absolute
discourse defines in the hands of the state. The construction is also valid in
defining the reality of “porn” video made by some people that’s look alike with
“Ariel-Luna Maya-Cut Tari”, which is mainly carried out by the mass media. This
paper is about to dismantle more about the use
of
"masculine-heterosexual"
language by the
Indonesian mass media discourse in defining and putting
illegitimate sexual activity in the landscape of the nation's sexuality
discourse in Indonesia. To map that
discourse, I use several tabloids
that frames the
case of celebrity
porn videos that
could suppress the euphoria of
World Cup 2010, in Indonesia. I’m using four tabloids to dismantle the
constellation discourse of the nation's children illegitimate sexual activity
that’s taking place in Indonesia. Represented by the discussion of celebrity
(as part of the youth of the nation), porn video cases. The election of
tabloids as the object of observation is not without implications, given
the tabloid is a
media that basically
has lower-class segmentation,
first indicator is the price that is in the range of 6000-7000 IDR and
basic materials using newspaper, not glossy paper. As we all know, until now
that class has a significant amount of
class stratification in
Indonesia. Thus, the
basic assumptions used for
this paper is
that according to
these class, the
issue of illegitimate sexual
activity has a high degree
of urgency to
be discussed. Considering they
became a major issue in all tabloids that was circulated at that time. Four
tabloids that I use is, Tabloid Nova No.
1165/XXIII 21 to 27 June 2010, the tabloid Star Edition 997 Year XX Third
Sunday in June 2010, Tabloid Wanita Indinesia
No. 1069 21 to 27 June 2010, and the last is Genie Tabloid Edition 50
Years to VI, 21 to 27 June 2010. The case of illegitimate sexual activity
involving children of the nation, especially in the context of this research is
a celebrity, actually not the first in Indonesia. However, that cause sticking
up in the top of discourse are the perpetrators who were located at the peak of
popularity. As expressed by O'Guinn (2003), "Society of the 21st century
is all about celebrity." Moreover, the Indonesian people are fed seasoned
celebrity impressions each day
with an intensity that can
not be categorized as small, to
consider the life of celebrity become a staple food that is not be missed.
Apart from infotainment shows on television, one of the vanguard of the
mass media that
make celebrity as
basic material is tabloid. Becomes interesting when
a tabloid article
presenting subtle articulation
on the of discourse nation's child illegitimate
sexual acitivity. Based on the discussion in this paper, I can conclude that
the discourse of nation's child illegitimate sexual activity which is
documented, is still a problematic matter for
tabloid in Indonesia.
Using the perspective
of critical multiculturalism, Indonesia ‘s tabloids is
still in the favorable position of ideological hegemony of dominant discourse
following the heteronormative discourse.
Defining the phenomenon was taken
from the perspective of nation that put the discourse of sexuality in the
periphery of nation identity. So the discourse of nation’s child’s illegitimate sexual
activity served as
indicators of nation
morality at once,
a disgrace which must be repressed by public law because causing
“damage” to nation’s morality.
