City as Memory in Five Bells and The Root of All Evil
Abstract: Reading a city
through texts shows that the city is often described as complicated (Cohen et.
al., 1997). This paper attempts to disclose the representations of complicated
city of Sydney and Jakarta in women’s literary works in relation to gender and
culture in texts of Jones’s novel Five Bells and Anggraeni’s The Root of All
Evil. Applying Bakhtin’s concept of chronotope, the result indicates both
novels show the unsettling cities through the lens of individuals’ memory. The
complications are represented in the individuals’ identity and idea of
patriarchal society and masculine cities.
