Abstract

This article aims to interpret and describe the gender construction of the Benuaq Dayak community, focusing on the roles of men and women as depicted in Korrie Layun Rampan's novel entitled Api Awan Asap. The novel told a story about the life of Dayak Benuaq people who were still strongly preserving culture which functions as a control mechanism in their lives. This study used a feminist anthropological approach to examine gender relation and its construction in the Dayak Benuaq community. The method it used was interpretive ethnography. The results of the analysis showed that the roles of women and men in Dayak Benuaq community were complement each other. This was based on the democratic value and the feeling of having same fate in both the productive and reproductive field. Keywords: Please list your keywords in this section.
