Abstract

This study aims to track the rate of Zoya Herawati’s authorship in accumulating her capital in order to gain legitimacy as an influential author. Her works Prosesi (1999), Derak-Derak (2005), short story Warisan (2005) and novel Jamaloke (2018) repeatedly showing unpopular polemics. Narratives about identity, militarism, minorities and also state discourse are dominant in the construction of the story assuming there is a certain goal of authorship in the literary arena. The text-based qualitative research method with the conceptual tools of Berger’s construction and the Bourdieu agency is able to explain Zoya Herawati’s capital in the national literary arena contestation. With strong cultural capital as an English teacher, Zoya accumulated other capital, social capital, such as literary and intellectual communities to strengthen her position. The results of this study are the limitations of Zoya’s ability to be able to have popular and bourgeois legitimacy because the consecration of her work and authorship have never been offended by a specific literary community. As the legitimacy of a specific community, it is important because this recognition provides an opportunity for the canonization of works to become possible.
