PRIVILESE KEWARASAN DALAM CERPEN TAK ADA YANG GILA DI KOTA INI KARYA EKA KURNIAWAN

In his writings full of social criticism, Eka Kurniawan shrewdly writes to destroy the order of fairness in social reality that makes human values ​​abstract. He not only assesses the reality that has a high urgency to be raised through writing but also uses attractive packaging with satire for the story. Tak Ada yang Gila di Kota Ini is one of Kurniawan's short stories written based on his own experience of seeing human oppression caused by the sanity privilege. A sociological approach reveals that sanity in Tak Ada yang Gila di Kota Ini becomes a privilege because mentally ill people are oppressed and even exploited by sane people. The sanity privilege creates social stratification and separates; the upper class is filled with sane people and has power. The middle class is filled with sane people and has power because it dominates; meanwhile, the lower class is filled with mentally ill people.
