Tillah, Dewi Mar’a Konita (2017) Humans’ Domination toward Animals Depicted in “Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them” Original Screenplay Written by J.K. Rowling. Sarjana thesis, Universitas Brawijaya.

Abstract

Dominasi manusia tidak hanya memiliki makna negatif, tetapi juga positif. Contohnya adalah dominasi manusia terhadap binatang. Hal itu dapat dilihat dalam beberapa bentuk berbeda, yaitu kekejaman terhadapan binatang dan menciptakan hak asasi binatang. Dominasi terhadap binatang juga dibawa ke dalam karya sastra, yaitu “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” naskah film asli karya J.K. Rowling. Studi ini menggunakan teori Poskolonial Ekokritik untuk menemukan dominasi manusia yang tergambar dalam naskah film. Metode deskriptif kualitatif digunakan sehubungan dengan analisis yang sistematis dan jelas. Data diambil dari kutipan dalam naskah film and sumber data pendukung lainnya yang berkaitan dengan sasaran studi. Studi ini memperlihatkan jika “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” mengandung pemikiran dualistis di antara manusia di dunia sihir, yang membuat adanya pembagian “being” dan “beast”. Beings di komunitas sihir Amerika membatasi interaksi antara komunitas sihir dan komunitas bukan sihir, termasuk regulasi tentang beasts untuk menghindari konflik dan melindungi dunia sihir. Keberadaan “beasts” dianggap sebagai penyebab masalah komunitas sihir menjadi semakin parah. Penolakan dari komunitas bukan sihir kepada komunitas sihir di Amerika adalah dampak kemenangan bangsa Eropa. Kehadiran Newt Scamander di Amerika dapat dilihat sebagai usaha mengubah bentuk penjajahan bangsa Eropa. Dalam hal ini, Newt mengubah perspektif komunitas sihir terhadap beasts melalui ilmu pengetahuan dan kebaikan.

English Abstract

Humans’ domination has not only negative sense, but also positif one. For example is humans’ domination toward animals. It can be seen in some different forms, those are animals abuse and the creation of animals rights. Those kind of domination toward animals is also brought in a literary work, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” screenplay by J.K. Rowling. This study employs Postcolonial Ecocriticism theory to find out humans’ domination depicted in the screenplay. Qualitative descriptive method is used in relation to the use of systematic and explicit analysis. The data are taken from quotes of the screenplay and secondary sources that are related to the object of the study. This study reveals that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them contains a dualistic thinking between humans in the magical world, that created the dichotomy of “being” and “beast”. Beings in the magical community in America restrict the interaction among the magical community and non-magical community, including the regulation of beasts to avoid conflict and protect magical world. The existence of “beasts” is considered as the cause of the problem for the magical community in getting worse. The refusal of non-magical community to magical community in America is the impact of European conquest. Newt Scamander’s presence in America can be seen as the remodeling of European colonization. In this case, Newt changes the perspective of magical community on beasts through knowledge and kindness.
