DARI HOMOTOPIA KE HETEROTOPIA PERUBAHAN KONSTRUKSI RUANG DALAM FIKSI INDONESIA

Abstract

This article is about a study aimed at (1) knowing whether there has been a
change from epistemological to ontological domination in Indonesian fiction and
(2) the repertoire of ontological foregrounding strategies that forms an organized
system called the postmodernism poetics of Indonesian fiction and especially
those related to space.
To attain its aim, the study applies the postmodernism theory. The theory
proposes that the change from modern to postmodern fiction is signaled by a
change from epistemological to ontological domination in fiction. Furthermore, to
know how the repertoire of postmodernist foregrounding strategies operates in
Indonesian fiction, the heterocosm theory is suggested.
The result of the study indicates that a change from epistemological to
ontological domination has occurred in Indonesian fiction. In Indonesian fiction, a
variety in the repertoire of ontological foregrounding strategies related to space
construction has been found. The strategies are interpolation, misattribution,
juxtaposition, and migration.
