Abstract
Penelitian ini menganalisis tokoh utama, Dorothy Daniels, dalam novel A Certain Hunger (2020), dengan berfokus pada bagaimana agensi perempuannya (female agency) mewujudkan konsep kemonsteran yang berlapis. Sebagai satu-satunya narator dan tokoh sentral, seluruh analisis berpusat pada tindakan, pemikiran, dan gaya narasi Dorothy. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis untuk menginterpretasikan tindakan-tindakan transgresif dan monolog internal tokoh utama. Untuk membedah kemonsteran tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan dua kerangka teori utama dari kajian feminis kontemporer: The Monstrous-Feminine dari Barbara Creed untuk menganalisis manifestasi fisik dan tindakan mengerikan, dan Nomadic Subjectivity dari Rosi Braidotti untuk menganalisis kesadaran internalnya yang radikal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa agensi Dorothy termanifestasi dalam dua bentuk kemonsteran yang saling terkait. Pertama, melalui lensa teori Creed, tindakan-tindakan predatoris dan kanibalistiknya dianalisis sebagai perwujudan dari arketipe Femme Castratrice dan Archaic Mother. Dengan membalikkan peran korban dan secara literal mengonsumsi pria, ia secara radikal menantang ekspektasi tradisional tentang feminitas yang pasif dan mengasuh. Kedua, melalui teori Braidotti, 'monstrous subjectivity' Dorothy dipahami sebagai manifestasi dari subjek nomaden. Kesadarannya yang menolak identitas tunggal yang stabil dan kemampuannya untuk menciptakan sistem etika personal yang "melampaui baik dan jahat" menjadi sumber dari kengerian psikologisnya. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kemonsteran Dorothy bukanlah akibat dari trauma, melainkan merupakan ekspresi tertinggi dari agensinya yang tanpa batas, yang pada akhirnya mendekonstruksi citra perempuan dalam narasi horor kontemporer. Kata kunci: Agensi Perempuan, The Monstrous-Feminine, Subjektivitas Nomaden, A Certain Hunger, Horor Feminis. ********** This study analyses the main character, Dorothy Daniels, in the novel A Certain Hunger (2020), focusing on how her female agency embodies the concept of layered monstrosity. As the sole narrator and central character, the entire analysis centres on Dorothy's actions, thoughts and narrative style. This research uses a descriptive-analytical method to interpret the transgressive actions and internal monologues of the protagonist. To dissect the monstrosity, this research uses two main theoretical frameworks from contemporary feminist studies: Barbara Creed's The Monstrous-Feminine to analyse the physical manifestations and monstrous actions, and Rosi Braidotti's Nomadic Subjectivity to analyse her radical internal consciousness. The results show that Dorothy's agency manifests in two interrelated forms of monstrosity. First, through the lens of Creed theory, her predatory and cannibalistic actions are analysed as embodiments of the Femme Castratrice and Archaic Mother archetypes. By reversing the role of the victim and literally consuming men, she radically challenges traditional expectations of passive, nurturing femininity. Secondly, through Braidotti's theory, Dorothy's “monstrous subjectivity” is understood as a manifestation of the nomadic subject. Her consciousness that rejects a single stable identity and her ability to create a personal ethical system that ‘transcends good and evil’ become the source of her psychological horror. This research concludes that Dorothy's monstrosity is not the result of trauma, but rather the ultimate expression of her limitless agency, which ultimately deconstructs the image of women in contemporary horror narratives. Keywords: Female Agency, The Monstrous-Feminine, Nomadic Subjectivity, A Certain Hunger, Feminist Horror.
