EKSPLORASI KONFLIK PSIKOLOGIS TOKOH DALAM SASTRA PASCA-REVOLUSI

Abstrak

Post-revolutionary Indonesian literature (1945 and 1998) 
shifted from the collective heroism of the Generation of 45 to 
the individual inner conflict of the Generation of 66 due to the 
trauma of war, political disillusionment, and censorship of the 
New Order, as analyzed by Teeuw (1967) and Aprinus Salam 
(2012). This study aims to examine the form, representation, 
and function of psychological conflict among characters in post
revolutionary literary works to understand the reflection of 
historical trauma and social catharsis. A qualitative descriptive 
method with a literary psychology approach utilizes literature 
review of primary texts (Ziarah, Jalan Tak Ada Ujung, Laut 
Bercerita) and Lewin-Maslow's theory, similar to Frengki Umbu 
Gela (2017). The results show that identity, moral-ideological, 
emotional, and relational trauma are represented through inner 
monologues, fragmented plots, repressive settings, and 
metaphors, functioning as symbolic critique, collective healing, 
and humanization of characters. This research enriches literary 
studies 
with an Indonesian contextual psychoanalytic 
framework
