ABSTRAK
Tubuh perempuan di dalam masyarakat patriarki dikonstruksikan berdasarkan keberadaan laki-laki. Objektifikasi ini kemudian melahirkan oposisi biner yang mengkonstruksikan tubuh perempuan sebagai yang lemah, inferior, dan submisif. Oposisi biner ini juga telah lama dipercaya melalui narasi budaya, agama, dan politik, serta menyebabkan penindasan dan eksploitasi terhadap perempuan. Namun, guna menghancurkan konstruksi ini, beberapa perempuan menggunakan tubuhnya sebagai kendaraan politik, salah satunya adalah kelompok feminis ldquo;Femen rdquo;. Guna mengeksplorasi dan memahami tubuh sebagai kendaraan politik, skripsi ini akan melibatkan teori-teori tubuh dan aksi politik dalam kaitannya dengan kekuasaan. Skripsi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Dari Skripsi ini didapatkan gambaran bahwa tubuh dapat dijadikan media penyampaian pesan dan tuntutan. Melalui bertelanjang dada, Femen berupaya untuk menumpas patriarki dan membebaskan perempuan dari narasi budaya, agama, dan politik yang misoginis. Mereka mampu menyuarakan suara perempuan yang sebelumnya tidak terdengar di Ukraina

This objectification of female body in patriarchal culture has created a binary opposition to both male and female. Female body is constructed as weak, inferior, and submissive towards male body. This binary finds its root deep in history, perpetuated by strict narration of sexual ideologies in culture, religion, social, and politic. It also creates the oppression and exploitation of female body that still exist today. Therefore, in order to destroy this oppressive binary and subsequent vision of female body, some women have used the female body as vehicle of political action, one of them is feminist group lsquo Femen rsquo . In pursuit of exploring and understanding the body as political vehicle, this thesis would involve theoretical decomposition the body reconstruction and political action which are understood as power.

Through naked body, lsquo Femen rsquo is trying to quell the patriarch and freed women from narrative culture, religion, and politically misogynist.
