Abstract

ABSTRAK Farida Firdani, 2022. Ironi Keunggulan Manusia dalam Komedi. Tesis Jurusan Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Brawijaya. Pembimbing : M.Andhy Nurmansyah M.Hum Kata Kunci: Humor, Wanita Asia, Ali Wong, Komedi Feminis, Budaya Pop Ali Wong adalah seorang komedian wanita Asia-Amerika. Dalam tayangan standup comedy-nya, Ali selalu mengangkat isu kesetaraan gender, dan membela hak-hak perempuan. Ia menggunakan kisah kehidupan pribadinya sebagai contoh perlawanan, sekaligus contoh penindasan terhadap perempuan. Popularitas Ali Wong melejit setelah pertunjukan pertamanya menjadi mega hit dan menyadarkan banyak lapisan masyarakat tentang kekuatan sebenarnya dari perempuan. Kemunculan komedi Ali Wong menjadikan penelitian sastra ini sangat relevan dan menarik karena stand-up comedy menjadi salah satu budaya pop yang masif dan kuat digunakan untuk menyampaikan kritik dan kesenjangan di masyarakat. Perkembangan feminisme dari masa ke masa juga menjadi topik yang tidak boleh dilewatkan, karena tidak hanya industri standup comedy, bahkan film action pun kini semakin serius melirik pasar pahlawan wanita. Kemunculan Ms. Marvel dan Thor wanita adalah salah satu contohnya. Penelitian yang dilakukan penulis akan mampu menggali teori dan pola penulisan komedi yang digunakan oleh Ali Wong karena dapat diterapkan pada komedian minoritas di luar sana, khususnya komedian perempuan atau perempuan pada umumnya ketika ingin mengkritisi kebijakan di ranah publik. .

English Abstract

ABSTRACT Farida Firdani, 2022. Irony of Human Superiority in Comedy. A thesis of English Department of Languages and Literature, Faculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Brawijaya. Supervisor: M. Andhy Nurmansyah M.Hum Keyword: Humor, Asian Woman, Ali Wong, Feminist Comedy, Pop Culture Ali Wong is an Asian-American female comedian. In her standup comedy shows, Ali always raises the issue of gender equality, and defends women's rights. She uses her personal life story as an example of resistance, as well as an example of the oppression of women. Ali Wong's popularity skyrocketed after her first show became a mega hit and awakened many levels of society about the real power of women. Ali Wong's comedic appearance makes this literary research very relevant and interesting because stand-up comedy has become one of the most massive and most powerful pop cultures used to convey criticism and discrepancies in society. The development of feminism from time to time has also become a topic that should not be missed, because not only the standup comedy industry, even action films are now taking the female hero market more seriously. The emergence of Ms. Marvel and the female Thor are one such example. The research conducted by the author will be able to explore the theory and pattern of comedy writing used by Ali Wong because it can be applied to minority comedians out there, especially female comedians or women in general when they want to criticize policies in the public spher.
