Abstract

The stories built into soap operas are distinctive in that they are always related to (domestic) household problems and are full of emotional scenes (hate, longing, love, anger, laughter, etc.). The story is dense with patriarchal values, with women almost always cast as victims and oppressed groups. There are currently a lot of female soap opera scriptwriters. Indeed, many soap operas that are popular in the community have a female scriptwriter. However, story patterns that portray women as second-class citizens persist. Through their involvement in the production of soap opera stories, this study aims to see women as text makers. The main focus is on how to “battle” habitus and capital from female scriptwriters in Indonesian soap opera story construction. This study employs a constructivist paradigm and a qualitative descriptive approach. According to the findings of this study, female scriptwriters are powerless against the “pressure” of patriarchal values in the existing social system and thus fail to transform stories of equality between men and women. What happened was that female screenwriters helped to perpetuate women’s domestication.
