        Abstract


        In English

        This research is motivated by two reasons, namely the lack of the presence of characters with the Indonesian identities, and the marginalization of female characters in superhero comics. One of the comics that is quite representative of presenting Indonesia's cultural traditions and local wisdom is Luh Ayu Manik Mas, which contains the Balinese culture. This paper discusses how Luh Ayu Manik Mas has represented the Balinese women through her character as a superhero. The research is carried out using the content analysis method on the four comic editions of Luh Ayu Manik Mas. The results of this study have shown that Luh Ayu Manik Mas was designed to appear to be a manifestation of local identity, such as a source of strength from the Tri Datu bracelet, and the belief in the Tri Hita Karana. Tri Datu is believed to be the source of life force and Tri Hita Karana as the principle of life that ensures harmony in every aspect of life. Religion and culture are two different things. Luh Ayu Manik Mas, represents the figure of a Balinese female superhero who is glorified by the teachings of Hinduism as the dominant religion in Bali, is in contrast to Balinese culture which is still subject to the patriarchal system.

        Penelitian ini berangkat dari minimnya penggambaran karakter beridentitas Indonesia dan maraknya marjinalisasi karakter perempuan dalam komik superhero. Salah satu komik yang mewujudkan tradisi budaya dan kearifan lokal Indonesia adalah Luh Ayu Manik Mas, yang menampilkan kebudayaan Bali. Tulisan ini membahas bagaimana Luh Ayu Manik Mas merepresentasikan perempuan Bali yang terwujud dalam karakternya sebagai superhero. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode analisis isi terhadap empat edisi komik Luh Ayu Manik Mas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Luh Ayu Manik Mas ditampilkan memanifestasi identitas lokal melalui sumber kekuatan, yang dinamakan dengan gelang Tri Datu, dan kepercayaannya pada Tri Hita Karana. Tri Datu diyakini sebagai sumber kekuatan hidup, sedangkan Tri Hita Karana diyakini sebagai prinsip hidup yang menjamin keharmonisan dalam setiap aspek kehidupan. Agama dan Budaya merupakan hal yang berbeda. Luh Ayu Manik Mas merepresentasikan superhero perempuan Bali yang dimuliakan oleh ajaran agama Hindu (sebagai agama dominan di Bali), ketika budaya Bali masih tunduk pada sistem patriarki.
