Abstract

The research aims at describing the modernization motive of capitalist anthropocentrism toward nature and women in popular Indonesian novels. The research applies qualitative method using Vandana Shiva theory approach. The data includes words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. The sources of the data are taken from the texts of some popular Indonesian novels, such as Lemah Tanjung by Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim and Tanah Tabu by Anindita Thayf. The analysis result shows that first, capitalist anthropocentrism character is shown in the civilization development motive through science—modernization motive toward conservatism; second, ecofeminism positions the women character (in the two novels) in dualism role—as victim and resistance for capitalist anthropocentrism seeing nature, as women, can be pregnant and deliver life.
