ASSESSMENTS OF ELIZABETH GASKELL’S two novels of social purpose typically conclude that North and South, published in 1855, is a more mature work stylistically and ideologically than Mary Barton, published in 1848. North and South is said to integrate the narrative modes of romance and realism more effectively than Mary Barton (Felber 63, Horsman 284), and to provide a more complicated narrative structure (Schor, Scheherezade 122–23), a more complex depiction of social conflicts (Easson 59 and 93) and a more satisfactory resolution of them (Duthie 84, Kestner 170). North and South is also said to deal with “more complex intellectual issues” (Craik 31). And the novel’s heroine, Margaret Hale, has been seen as Gaskell’s most mature creation — a woman who grows in self-awareness as she adapts to an alien environment (Kestner 164–166) and, unlike Mary Barton, becomes an active mediator of class conflicts (Stoneman 120), the central consciousness that brings together “the lessons of social change and romance” (Schor, Scheherezade 127).1 The reconciliation of these conflicts she inspires through her influence over both mill owner and worker has been praised as a more effective and credible narrative resolution to the social problems depicted in the novel than the reconciliation between mill owner and worker in Mary Barton (David 36).

The role of the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda), so far has been more of a coordination forum that discussed problems in the region. The discussion was carried out in a form of meetings that were usually held in the local government office. The problems discussed are usually around the development of the last situation that occurred in the region. Other discussions usually depend on the theme or material of the discussion delivered by the Regional Head, which is then asked for advice from other Forkopinda members. In its development, it turned out that in addition to forums that were coordinating and discussing, it turned out that there were several activities in the field involving Forkopinda elements other than the Regional Head, in the form of handling social problems and natural disasters that were handled directly by TNI agencies and Polri agencies, even other institutions. who may not belong to Forkopinda.In addition to that role, Forkopinda, often also plays a role in the issue of public order, handling social conflicts, drug problems, population problems and family planning and foreign supervision problems.All of these problems require cross-sectoral coordination or coordination between vertical agencies in the region.

The poetics of Pilar Quintana (1972) and Melba Escobar (1976) place the reader in a recognizable space and time: they are rooted in regions of Colombia and in contemporary social problems. Both authors are interested in creating the aesthetics of their fiction by focusing on the point of view of women and their differentiation on the social scale for reasons of race and class. However, we affirm that the ethical-esthetic proposal of each of the authors is very different and that each of them sets up a particular way of understanding violence and the role of women in social conflicts. Going to ideas and concepts derived from feminism, this article aims to expose the affinities and differences between the poetics of each of the authors and interpret the dissents (Rancière) or ways in which each of them reconfigures in his work of fiction hierarchies, frames of references, forms of interpretation or traditional representations of women.
