Abstract

Social problems within the social reality have become problems that cannot be fully resolved, especially when they are concerned with the domination of power. This research seeks to describe various kinds of resistance of the Papuans against the domination of power which includes domination of patriarchal social power, domination of economic power, and domination of political power in a novel entitled Tanah Tabu by Anindita S. Thyaf. This research implemented a descriptive qualitative method with Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis model, including three dimensions of the text, discourse practice, and socio-cultural practice. The research results revealed that: (1) from the perspective of text dimension, the linguistic aspect showed resistance by the local community through the vocabulary used by the author, (2) from the perspective of discourse practice, it voiced injustice and violence due to domination of power, (3) from the perspective of socio-cultural practice, the socio-cultural context influenced the emergence of the text.
