Maxianus Nitsae 2015. CULTURAL FLUIDITY AS THE CORE FOR
IDENTITY FORMATION IN PRAMOEDYA’S
FOOTSTEPS Yogyakarta:
The Graduate Program of English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University
This study explores the issue of Indonesian identity construction in
Pramoedya’s
Footsteeps. This novel primarily deals with the issue of Indonesian
identity construction represented by Minke, the protagonist character of the novel
by examining the history of the early awakening of Indonesian nationalism under
Dutch colonialism.
Minke’s identity
is constructed within Javanese and Western
culture. This study uses Bhabha’s concept of Mimicry and Hybridity in making an
in-
depth analysis of the process of Minke’s identity construction.
This study shows that Minke appears as a modern man. However, the sense
of Minke’s modernity is hybrid. It is the mix of Javanese and Western culture.
Minke who has internalised the spirit of modernity believes that it can change
people. It releases people from cultural bounda
ries, advances human’s life,
enforces people to be independent therefore he attempt to impose this spirit
national culture.
This study also points out that Minke employs modernity a form of
resistance. His effort aims to deconstruct feudal tradition that he considers as a
culture that degrade human dignity and colonialism in Indies and it also
deconstruct colonial discourse which depends on cultural fixity.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi isu pembentukan identitas
Indonesia dalam novel yang berjudul Jejak Langkah. Novel ini berkisah tentang
pembentukan identitas Indonesia yang direpresentasikan oleh Minke, tokoh utama
dalam novel Jejak Langkah yang mengkaji sejarah awal kebangkitan nasional
Indonesia pada masa penjajahan Belanda. Identitas Minke di bentuk diantara
budaya Jawa dan budaya Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan konsep Hibriditas dan
Mimicry dari Bhabha untuk menghasilkan sebuah analisa yang mendalam tentang
proses pembentukan identitas dari Minke.
Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa Minke nampak sebagai seorang modern.
Namun modernitas Minke adalah modernitas yang hybrid. Ia adalah pencampuran
dari budaya Jawa dan Barat. Minke yang telah mengiinternalisasikan semangat
modernnitas dalam dirinya percaya bahwa nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam
modernitas dapat mengubah orang. Ia membebaskan orang dari kungkungan
budaya, meningkatkan taraf hidup manusia, mendorong orang untuk menjadi
independen. Oleh karena itu ia berusaha untuk menginjeksi spirit modernitas pada
budaya bangsanya.
Penelitian ini juga menunjukan bahwa Minke menggunakan modernitas
sebagai sebuah bentuk perlawanan. Tujuannya dari usahanya adalah untuk
mendekonstruksi tradisi feodal yang menghina derajat manusia dan kolonialisme
di Hindia serta mendekonstruksi wacana kolonial yang tergantung pada
pandangannya tentang budaya yang statis.
