Arok Dedes dan Pararaton: Transformasi Dan Dinamika Sastra dalam Wacana Globalisasi Sastra

Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Arok Dedes (1999) is a portrait of literary dynamics as the result of its transformation from the previous work, namely Pararatonan outstanding literary work of old Java. The novel of Arok Dedes, in its relevance with historical context, means a dynamic literary phenomenon because the literary dynamics cannot be separated from history. In the novel Arok Dedes, through his creative sophistication and process, Pramoedya Ananta Tour attempted to retell the 13th century of the event as a satire on present events, especially in the 20th century. Arok Dedes narrated the struggle for the first power in Indonesian history, which is a repetition of preceding events. Pramoedya Ananta Tour, as the author of Arok Dedes, was successful enough in presenting Dedes’ myth and expressing it in globalization discourses. The role of Dedes was noteworthy in the political domain, power, and state because Dedes was the mastermind of power transfer from her husband (Tunggul Ametung) to Arok. The myth of Ken Dedes having prestige or wisdom dug by Pramoedya Ananta Tour from Pararaton makes Arok Dedes a significant modern literary work, particularly in the current globalization discourses. Dedes, as woman figure, was related to power, politics, and state.
