ABSTRAK Tesis ini membahas konstruksi identitas Islam dalam sosok perempuan berjilbab
dalam tiga film islami pasca-Orba. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis
teks dalam adegan dan dialog tiga film dengan berlandaskan pada konsep identitas
Castells, ideologi patriarki, dan hermeneutik al-Qur’an Asma Barlas. Identitas
keislaman tiga sosok perempuan berjilbab terikat oleh relasi kekuasaan patriarki
dalam tafsiran teks agama, sehingga perempuan mengalami ketidaksetaraan
gender. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa tiga sosok perempuan berjilbab
menunjukkan keislamannya lewat pilihan mereka sendiri dalam memperjuangkan
kebebasan, keadilan, dan kesetaraan gender dihadapan laki-laki.
ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the construction of Islamic identities through imaged of
veiled women in three post-New Order islamic films. The research uses textual
analysis in analyzing the film scenes and dialogues based on the theories
proposed by Castells on identity formation, Asma Barlas’s feminist hermeneutics
of al-Qur’an, gender, and patriarchy. Islamic identities as represented by veiled
women are related to men’s power and monopoly of interpretation of the sacred
texts, and as the result, women have always been discriminated. The results of this
research proves that women’s religious piety is showed by their choice in
struggling for a freedom, justice, and equality with men.
