Abstract

Novels set in Islamic boarding schools often represent women through religious and cultural discourses that normalize obedience and morality, so the construction of female identity within them has not been studied in depth. Previous studies have been more descriptive or normative, so they have not been adequate in discussing female identity formed through representational practices in literary texts. This study aims to analyze the reconstruction of female identity in the novel Dua Barista through narrative and dialogical representation using Stuart Hall's theory of representation and cultural identity. This study uses a qualitative method with a text analysis approach based on cultural studies. Data were obtained from the dialogue and narrative of the two main female characters, Mazarina and Maesaroh. Data analysis was conducted through Stuart Hall's interpretive qualitative analysis, covering representation, discourse, identity as a process, and articulation. The results show that female identity is constructed as a dynamic cultural and discursive process, shaped by dominant discourses on morality and religious obedience, while simultaneously opening up space for situational articulation of agency through negotiation of meaning. Power relations work productively through religious language and symbols in shaping the subjectivity of Islamic boarding school women. This research has implications for strengthening the study of Islamic boarding school literature based on a cultural-critical approach and expanding the discourse on gender and identity in the context of religious literature in Indonesia.
