Becoming A Mother

In patriarchal society, motherhood is viewed as a responsibility for women although not all are willing or able to carry it on.  To become a mother, a woman has to experience a challenging phase in life and ready to sacrifice everything they have. Feminist critics see motherhood as a complex issue operating patriarchal institution that regulates, dominates, and oppresses women. What is more, some women are not ready with the consequences during the transition to motherhood and bear the status of becoming a mother that often results in having a hard time. To bring this issue into discussion, this study is going to explore the crises that Zikora has to undergo in her transition to become a mother. Zikora is the protagonist in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's short story, Zikora. In analyzing the issue, this study applies the theory of motherhood by Andrienne Rich and uses a qualitative approach with a close reading method. The result of the study shows that motherhood brings women to a new world full of challenges. Motherhood requires not only physical strenght but also mental strenght and self control so that whatever the crises are, women can bear them and overcome the obstacles they are facing.

AbstrakPenelitian ini menganalisis cerpen berjudul Jaring-jaring Merah sebagai wacana yang dikonstruksikan oleh penulis ceritanya, Helvy Tiana Rosa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tanda-tanda yang digunakan Helvy Tiana Rosa dalam mewakili pesan ideologi Islam pada cerpennya. Peneliti menggunakan metode interpretif dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan alat analisis semiotika dari Roland Barthes. Hasil penelitian menúnjukkan bahwa pada teks ditemukan beberapa tanda yang digunakan untuk mewakili ideologi Islam. Ideologi Islam yang mendominasi cerpen ini merepresentasikan tentang keadilan, akhlak perempuan muslim, dan persaudaraan umat Islam. Selain itu, terdapat perspektif fundamentalisme -untuk membedakannya dengan liberalisme- yang dilatarbelakangi oleh dua peristiwa sosial penting, yaitu runtuhnya pemerintahan Orde Baru dan pencabutan status Aceh sebagai Daerah Operasi Militer (DOM). Kedua peristiwa tersebut mendorong Helvy Tiana Rosa selaku pengarang, memunculkan wacana tandingan terhadap hegemoni wacana pada masa itu. Sehingga, pesan yang ditonjolkan memiliki kecenderungan dan pola yang berpihak kepada kaum tertindas. Kata kunci: Akhlak, Ideologi, Islam, Keadilan, Semiotika AbstractThis study analyzed the short story titled Red Nets as a discourse constructed by the author of the story, Helvy Tiana Rosa. The purpose of this study is to determine the signs used Helvy Tiana Rosa in representing the message of Islamic ideology in the short story. Researchers use interpretive methods with qualitative approach and semiotics analysis tools from Roland Barthes. The results showed that the text found several signs used to represent the ideology of Islam. Islamic ideology that dominates this short story represents about justice, morality of Muslim women, and the brotherhood of Muslims. In addition, there is a fundamentalist perspective - to distinguish it from liberalism - underpinned by two important social events, namely the collapse of the New Order government and the abrogation of the status of Aceh as a Military Operation Area (DOM). Both events encouraged Helvy Tiana Rosa as the author, bringing counter discourse to the hegemony of discourse at that time. Thus, the message highlighted has a tendency and pattern that stands for the oppressed.Keyword: Akhlak, Ideology, Islam, Justice, Semiotics

This study reveals the currents social welfare which includes the uprising practice of Islamic charity, namely Infaq (voluntary alms giving), an instrument to help the unfortunate people (asnaf). It used qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews focusing on six themes with six respondents. They engage in Infaq during the MCO or Movement Control Order. The results showed that there was a rise of contemporary fame of Infaq among Malaysian middle-class Muslims and charity body or organisation that specialise in sedekah/Infaq programmes . These parties make use of the platform of social media to record their activities and raise funds activity to help the needy who demand immediate and non-bureaucratic donations especially in a form of material help like food and daily necessities. This indeed has changed the course of how sedekah or Infaq used to be done back then. More Muslims who perform these Islamic charities display their efficiency and transparency in their donations as in Islam, sedekah is as a spiritual ‘investment’ to the donors despite the hard time people face during pandemic.

Mary Jane Kehily considers the phenomenon of young motherhood in the UK through policy and popular discourse. She looks at how women make the transition to motherhood in new times, to argues that early motherhood occupies a distinctive place within the context of late modern social change, marked by changing gender relations and women’s increased participation in the workforce. At a time when most women are delaying the birth of their first child, differences between women may be polarised and compounded by the experience of becoming a mother. She explores the way social differences between women may be played out in the cultural sphere of representations and practices of consumption. She argues that the stigmatised figure of early motherhood, configured colloquially as the marginal ‘pramface girl’ can be understood within the context of the local – community, family, biography and intergenerational perspectives.

This study aims to analyze the short story, The Spell and the Ever Changing Moon (2014) by Rukhsana Ahmad, from the feminist perspective. A close reading of the text reveals that facing everyday challenges and juggling between multiple roles is a common practice for middleclass house wives in Pakistani society. The economic instabilities added with emotional, psychological as well as physical abuse plays a vital role in their oppression and humiliation on regular basis. These roles as assigned to them define their social standing and suffering becomes their destiny. Multiple roles of such women and social expectations outside and inside the house define their way of living. Each and every movement and thought becomes codependent on their social familial roles. Being selfless becomes an obligation and ‘sacrifice’ becomes convention for middle class women who spend their whole lives living under the thumb of their men folk. Moreover, the movement and status of women inside and outside the home is also a major concern addressed in this paper including the concept of home, and its significance in lives of Pakistani women.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the issue of intertextuality in the novel Alfirdaws Alyabab (The Waste Paradise) by the female Saudi novelist and short story writer Laila al-Juhani. Intertextuality is a rhetoric and literary technique defined as a textual reference deliberate or subtle to some other texts with a view of drawing more significance to the core text; and hence it is employed by an author to communicate and discuss ideas in a critical style. The narrative structure of Alfirdaws Alyabab (The Waste Paradise) showcases references of religious, literary, historical, and folkloric intertextuality. In analyzing these references, the study follows the intertextual approach. In her novel The Waste Paradise, Laila al-Juhani portrays the suffering of Saudi women who are less tormented by social marginalization than by an inner conflict between openness to Western culture and conformity to cultural heritage. Intertextuality relates to words, texts, or discourses among each other. Moreover, the intertextual relations are subject to reader’s response to the text. The relation of one text with other texts or contexts never reduces the prestige of writing. Therefore, this study, does not diminish the status of the writer or the text; rather, it is in itself a kind of literary creativity. Finally, this paper aims to introduce Saudi writers in general and the female writers in particular to the world literature.
