Abstract
This study atternpts to trace and illustrate the formation of poetics in the novels of women writers in Indonesia and Malaysia by using the theory of gynocritics by Elaine Shcwalter. The theory of gynocritics accords special attention to women as conveyors of textual meanings. For the purpose of analyzing the texts, this thesis attempts to apply four main models of gynocritics, that is, women's writing and women's body, women's writing and women's language, women's writing and women's psyche, and women's writing and women's culture. The novels selected to provide data for this study are written by women novelists from Indonesia and Malaysia. The novels from Indonesia are Saman by Ayu Utami, Tarian Bumi by Oka Rusmini, Calon Arang by Toeti Heraty and Dari Lembah ke Coolibah by Titis Sasino. Those from Malaysia are Menongkah Lumrah by Azmah Nordin, lsteri by Rosmini Shaari, Salam Maria by Fatimah Susu and Jalur Sinar Oi Celah Daun by Zaharah Nawawi. The application of the gynocritic models proves that, on the whole, women novelists in Indonesia and Malaysia have considered the biological, language, psychologicai, and cultural aspects of women as the platform that influences the formation of poetics in their creative writings. There is, however, an obvious difference in terms of the technique and style in the application of the above models by women novelists in Indonesia and Malaysia. This difference is influenced by the socio-cultural, politic and background of the novelists in both countries. In general, this thesis demonstrates the ways women novelists capitalize on their intelligence to produce the textual meanings and to determine their own history, themes, genres, and structure of writing.
