DISKURSUS “ILLEGITIMATE SEXUAL ACTIVIT” ANAK BANGSA DALAM PERSPEKTIF TABLOID INDONESIA

Abstrack:

In Indonesia, a sexual activity that has not been legitimized by the state is one of the realities that are constructed by the language of “masculine-heterosexual”. Which in that context is an absolute discourse defines in the hands of the state. The construction is also valid in defining the reality of ?porn? video made by some people that?s look alike with ?Ariel-Luna Maya-Cut Tari?, which is mainly carried out by the mass media. This paper is about to dismantle more about the use of “masculine-heterosexual” language by the Indonesian mass media discourse in defining and putting illegitimate sexual activity in the landscape of the nation’s sexuality discourse in Indonesia. To map that discourse, I use several tabloids that frames the case of celebrity porn videos that could suppress the euphoria of World Cup 2010, in Indonesia. I?m using four tabloids to dismantle the constellation discourse of the nation’s children illegitimate sexual activity that?s taking place in Indonesia. Represented by the discussion of celebrity (as part of the youth of the nation), porn video cases. The election of tabloids as the object of observation is not without implications, given the tabloid is a media that basically has lower-class segmentation, first indicator is the price that is in the range of 6000-7000 IDR and basic materials using newspaper, not glossy paper. As we all know, until now that class has a significant amount of class stratification in Indonesia. Thus, the basic assumptions used for this paper is that according to these class, the issue of illegitimate sexual activity has a high degree of urgency to be discussed. Considering they became a major issue in all tabloids that was circulated at that time. Four tabloids that I use is, Tabloid Nova No. 1165/XXIII 21 to 27 June 2010, the tabloid Star Edition 997 Year XX Third Sunday in June 2010, Tabloid Wanita Indinesia No. 1069 21 to 27 June 2010, and the last is Genie Tabloid Edition 50 Years to VI, 21 to 27 June 2010. The case of illegitimate sexual activity involving children of the nation, especially in the context of this research is a celebrity, actually not the first in Indonesia. However, that cause sticking up in the top of discourse are the erpetrators who were located at the peak of popularity. As expressed by O’Guinn (2003), “Society of the 21st century is all about celebrity.” Moreover, the Indonesian people are fed seasoned celebrity impressions each day with an intensity that can not be categorized as small, to consider the life of celebrity become a staple food that is not be missed. Apart from infotainment shows on television, one of the anguard of the mass media that make celebrity as basic material is tabloid. Becomes interesting when a tabloid article presenting subtle articulation on the of discourse nation’s child illegitimate sexual acitivity. Based on the discussion in this paper, I can conclude that the discourse of nation’s child illegitimate sexual activity which is documented, is still a problematic matter for tabloid in Indonesia. Using the perspective of critical multiculturalism, Indonesia ?s tabloids is still in the favorable position of ideological hegemony of dominant discourse following the heteronormative discourse. Defining the phenomenon was taken from the perspective of nation that put the discourse of sexuality in the periphery of nation identity. So the discourse of nation?s child?s illegitimate sexual activity served as indicators of nation morality at once, a disgrace which must be repressed by public law because causing ?damage? to nation?s morality.
