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.
