Abstract

Literacy culture of film and other literary works such as novel or drama among santriwati (muslim women living and studying in pesantren) is interesting to discuss since they have unique characteristics. They are living and learning religiosity in pesantren and at the same time they are studying sciences in college or university. Normally, living in pesantren is tied by a strict religious norms and traditions. There are certain rules as Santri that tey oblige to obey. On the other hand, as university students, dealing with more flexible and open culture is unavoidable. They need reading references, watching films and enjoying novels or other literary works as part of campus life. This paper tries to examine how literacy culture among santriwati relates to their identity expression. It also aims at identifying the form of identity expression expressed by santriwati in Madura. There are 15 santriwati from different pesantren in Madura to be observed and asked as the respondents. Qualitative research is applied in this study as it explains particular cases and phenomena in certain area by using words and sentences. The results of this study indicate that the literacy culture of film among santriwati to some extent relate to their identity expression although they could hardly express it through their behavior as common people. This slight relation is because of their strong commitment to the religious norms and values that strongly encourage them to express their identity expression as a good santri.
