Abstract

One of the ethnic identities in Indonesia is their traditional dress. The identity of people of West Sumba who live in Waikabubak have a diverse style of dress as a symbol of their identity and social strata. The symbols and strata of West Sumba society are also interestingly displayed in the novel Perempuan yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam. In the novel, there is a shift in the function of katopo from a symbol of identity to a symbol of power due to the patriarchal culture inherent in the community. The patriarchal culture created by society creates disharmony towards the function of katopo. The power represented through katopo can be explained from Antonio Gramsci’s perspective. This research aims to reveal the shifting function of katopo as a symbol of male identity into a symbol of power. The data found will be analyzed using descriptive qualitative research methods. The research results will be described regarding the shift in the function of katopo contained in the novel Perempuan Yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam.
