FEMININITAS DAN KEKUASAAN
ABSTRACT: This article shows
the change and continuity of femininity construction in Indonesian public using
the media. It started with the femininity construction during the colonial era,
which showed how femininity was used by the colonial government and by the
Indonesian movement at that time. It was a public space construction, which
negotiated places to support some types of femininity construction. By
describing this construction process, the article wish to show that power plays
an important role. Being feminine women is not of women wish but more on how
the society at large preserve some types of femininity discourse. The article also
shows that such construction process at the end is also a big demand from
capitalistic interest. The capital and the global are two other sources of
power that at present depict what kind of women to be constructed.
