Abstract

"Jimat Sero" is one of Eka Kurniawan's short stories in the collection of short stories Cinta Tak Ada Mati in 2018. This paper will use deconstruction to examine the ideology of the text and describe the results of its dissemination in the text. This paper uses Jacques Derrida's deconstruction theory. The method used is content analysis with double reading. The results contain two main points; First, the ideology of the text from the identification of metaphysical hierarchies, binary oppositions, and undecidable elements in the text. Second, dissemination of the results of the deconstruction process. The result of the text's ideology is the curious days experienced by Aku after being given an amulet by Rohman. The results of the dissemination in the text are; 1) Aku reflects the generality of society towards mystical things, 2) Rohman's character is an abortion of village people who consider the city as the primary goal of success.
