Abstract
This study aims to critically analyze the female identity discourse articulated by the Indonesian Muslim Women’s magazine. Preceded by the emergence of a significant problem during the process of modernization, Indonesia has experienced the transformation of religious values from ideology toward commercialization of spirituality reflected in their lifestyle. The constellation of media discourse creates a meaning transformation on how identity is performed and how a Moslem is in contemporary Indonesia. This study applies a discourse analysis perspective by Michael Foucault. The data were gathered from a collection of visual and textual discourse obtained from three Moslem women’s magazine, Alia, Ummi and Noor. The data analyzed include pictures, words, and phrases as a marker of female identity as a Moslem. The results of this study indicate that the female identity as a Moslem in Indonesia is not an absolute thing. Even though the teaching is from the same scripture, the interpretation of female identity, its nature and its realm becomes plural as there was a lot of discussion and arguments Permalink/DOI: dx.doi.org/10.17977/um015v45i12017p086

Summary
Pada bagian ini dibahas mengenai narasi visual yang muncul dari sampul depan majalah yang digunakan sebagai sumber data. Artikulasi diskursus yang dimunculkan dalam bahasa penuh emosi tersebut menarasikan ketidaksetujuan Aulia terhadap transformasi identitas istri dan ibu yang mengarah pada kesetaraan gender. Noor menawarkan tafsiran alternatif pada kodrat yang diemban perempuan dengan memberikan porsi lebih pada pemberdayaan diri dan berusaha keras pada jalan hidup yang telah dipilih tanpa mengindahkan posisi pribadinya sebagai istri maupun ibu. Nilai lebih diberikan Noor pada perempuan yang sukses di ranah publik, maka dari itu, bukannya lebih banyak membahas mengenai isu-isu perempuan beserta dalilnya seperti yang dilakukan oleh Aulia, Noor lebih menghadirkan tokoh-tokoh perempuan yang dianggap inspirasional dengan pencapainnya di ruang publik Begitu banyak akulturasi budaya yang dipraktikkan masyarakat Indonesia dalam kesehariannya sehingga menyebabkan pendefinisian syari’at Islam serta praktiknya pun menjadi berbeda
