Abstract
Masyarakat Yahudi telah lama menghadapi diskriminasi dan stereotip negatif. Konflik antar mayoritas dan komunitas Yahudi yang didorong oleh prasangka ras membuahkan aksi kekerasan dan pengucilan. MAUS merupakan biografi ayah Art Spiegelman, Vladek Spiegelman, tentang pengalaman bertahan hidup dari pengucilan masyarakat Yahudi di Polandia. Buku ini juga merupakan usaha Art Spiegelman untuk menepis stereotip negatif Yahudi di masa kini Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisa aksi diskriminatif dan pemberian stereotip negatif terhadap orang Yahudi beserta cara-cara sang penulis untuk melawan. Pendekatan sosiologis digunakan untuk menjelaskan asal prasangka dan diskriminasi beserta stereotip negatif yang ditujukan pada orang Yahudi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Vladek Spiegelman, sang tokoh utama, menghadapi berbagai aksi diskriminatif terhadap Yahudi sebagai akibat dari propaganda ras milik Nazi. Propaganda tersebut mempengaruhi mayoritas dengan pembentukan bias ingroup-outgroup, sehingga membuat orang Yahudi diasingkan dari masyarakat. Bagaimanapun juga, Vladek Spiegelman selamat berkat kelihaian dan etos kerja keras; dimana keduanya adalah stereotip yang lekat dengan Yahudi. Di sisi lain, Art Spiegelman menghadapi kesulitan dalam menggambarkan ayahnya di novel grafis karena sifat positif Vladek Spiegelman menjadi negatif di masa kini. Konflik bapak-anak tersebut menyebabkan Art Spiegelman meragukan identitasnya sebagai Yahudi. Keraguan itu bisa dihapuskan dengan kesadaran akan sifat Vladek Spiegelman sebagai orang yang mampu bertahan dari aksi diskriminatif masyarakat, sehingga dapat meningkatkan kebanggaan Art Spiegelman sebagai bagian dari komunitas Yahudi
English Abstract
Jewish people have been facing discrimination and negative stereotyping for ages. Conflicts between the majority and Jewish communities, propagated by racial prejudice, result in violent acts committed by the society to isolate the Jews. MAUS is a biography of Art Spiegelman‘s father, Vladek Spiegelman, which tells about his experience in surviving the persecution of Jewish people in Poland during World War II, and also about Art Spiegelman‘s efforts to defy the lingering stereotypes of Jewish people in the present. This research is conducted to analyze the acts of discrimination and negative stereotyping against Jews and the author‘s efforts to defy them. Sociological approach is utilized in this research in order to explain the root of prejudice and discrimination against Jewish people, as well as the negative stereotypes labeled to them. The finding of this research shows that Vladek Spiegelman, the main character, faced various violent discriminatory acts inflicted against Jews due to the Nazi‘s racial propaganda. The propaganda affected the majority by creating an ingroup-outgroup bias, thus forcing the minority Jews into isolation. Nevertheless, Vladek Spiegelman survived using cunningness and hard-work ethic; both are stereotypes highly associated with Jews. On the other hand, Art Spiegelman faced difficulties in portraying his father in the graphic novel, since Vladek Spiegelman‘s aforementioned positive traits becomes negative in the present. The father-and-son conflict brought Art Spiegelman into self-doubting his identity as a Jew. The self-doubt could be diminished by the realization of Vladek Spiegelman‘s traits as a survivor, thus boosting Art Spiegelman‘s pride as part of the Jewish community.
