Mahari, Aditya (2015) Hegemony and Domination in Marjane Satrpi’s Persepolis. Sarjana thesis, Universitas Brawijaya.

Abstract

Society is complex place, people from different background such as culture, religion, race and gender gather there. From those differences a society can survive because those people have the same interest. The survival of community is because of the same interest from the members of the society. The same interest that bound them somehow gave birth to the views or the provisions that bind its members, such as norms or ideology. Ideology somehow can be like a rope in society that ties the members of the society to stay together as a herd. Because ideology has a very important role in society many people or groups in society want to use it as a tool in control other people in society. Because ideology binds the society, so someone who can control ideology that is believed in society, he will be a leader of the society. To know the battle of ideology in a society, Cultural Studies can be an appropriate approach because cultural studies focuses its analysis on power and politic. Politic can be said as the way to get access in controlling society and power can be said as “controller” in a society. Cultural studies uses Hegemony and Domination as the main approaches because hegemony and domination are one of the most effective tools to spread and control ideologies in a society. Hegemony enables to spread ideologies to other without any coarsen at all. It works through persuasion and repetition because ideology is dynamic and changes from time to time. And domination works through state apparatuses, so people in a society tend to take the ideologies that are spread for granted. Domination also enables to use direct action or coarsen in spreading, control and defend certain ideologies. By those approaches, the writer of the thesis analyses Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis because this biography comic book tells about the Islamic regime in Iran that tries to defend their power by spreading ideologies through hegemony and domination. Hegemony and domination take a very vital part for regime to spread and defend their ideologies to change Iran into Islamic country. To success their goal, regime has to have support from all Iranian, so they use hegemony and domination to control the ideologies of Iranian to support them. This thesis takes Marjane Satrapi‟s point of view, a writer and an author who was born from western educational system and lives in France, that tends to put Islam in the corner.
