bilangan fu : a thought-provoking novel (a review)

wow! i just had a very great experience with ‘bilangan fu’ (fu number)

let me just do the review in Indonesian, not just because this language is the most proficient language i mastered, but because “bilangan fu” is written in Indonesia and talking about Indonesia, especially Java.

PERINGATAN: Review ini sepenuhnya ditulis oleh pemuda yang tidak memiliki kompetensi untuk menulis review. Review ini ditulis sepenuhnya berdasarkan pengalaman nyata dan tidak dibuat-buat. Review ini spenuhnya ditulis berdasarkan pandangan, anggapan dan asumsi pribadi penulis review ini. Mohon maaf jika ada yang tidak setuju, atau mungkin kecewa, tapi apa yang ditulis disini, sepenuhnya hasil pengalaman pribadi dalam membaca “bilangan fu”.

Huah, sebenarnya agak sulit menentukan titik-mula untuk me-review novel yang satu ini.  Yang jelas, novel ini membuat saya tidak bisa meletakkannya setelah membaca dua halaman pertama. Gaya cerita sudut-pandang orang pertama (yang dalam novel ini menggunakan sudut pandang karakter Yuda) berhasil membuat saya tidak mau meletakkannya kembali. Saya membeli novel ini pukul 8 malam tanggal 29 Juli 2008, dan saya selesai membacanya pukul 10 pagi tanggal 30 Juli 2008, 14 jam non-stop saya membaca 537 halaman novel berdimensi 13,5 x 20 cm ini.

Okelah, untuk permulaan, mari kita berkenalan dengan 2 karakter utama novel ini (menutur saya cuma 2 karakter utama nya), Sandi Yuda dan Parang Jati!

Mari kita berkenalan dengan Yuda, karakter sekaligus pencerita dalam novel ini. Yuda, usia awal 20-an, hobinya bertaruh dan memanjat, sangat membenci TV, kota dan perempuan (bukan berarti dia menyukai sesama jenis, dia masih terangsang oleh perempuan, Yuda hanya tidak setuju dengan perempuan yang membelenggu lelaki dari kebebasannya). Secara pribadi, saya sangat mendukung gaya berpikir Yuda.

Dengan menggunakan Yuda, Ayu Utami berhasil menciptakan nuansa yang sangat maskulin. Gaya bertutur yang apa adanya, dengan kalimat-kalimat pendek yang dinamis (bukan berarti tidak bermakna). Saya malah lebih suka dengan gaya kalimat pendek Ayu Utami dibandingkan dengan beberapa penulis Indonesia lain, yang sok menggunakan kalimat-kalimat panjang (mungkin supaya karyanya dianggap “cukup sastra”, eh malah jadi susah dimengerti dan tidak bermakna).

Sekarang mari berkenalan dengan Parang Jati, mahasiswa geologi yang mencintai budaya-nya dan alam yang membesarkannya. Sedikit berbeda dari Yuda yang pragmatis tetapi anti modernitas, Parang Jati merupakan karakter yang lebih “dalam”, dia bukannya anti modernitas, tetapi dia kritis terhadap modernitas, meskipun sebenarnya dia juga masih punya sisi anti, yaitu anti terhadap militerisme.

Melalui Parang Jati, Ayu Utami berhasil menuangkan pemikiran dan paradigma-nya. Untungnya bukan Parang Jati yang digunakan sebagai karakter pencerita, tidak terbayang akan serumit apa gaya tutur “bilangan fu”. Yuda yang lugas dan pragmatis, sangat tepat digunakan untuk mengkomunikasikan pemikiran dan argumen-argumen Parang Jati (sama seperti saya yang lebih mengerti jika teman saya yang menjelaskan sesuatu, dibandingkan dosen saya yang lulusan S3 untuk menjelaskan sesuatu pada saya).

Sepak terjang Sandi Yuda dan Parang Jati, tentu saja didukung oleh karakter-karakter pembantu, yang menurut saya juga ada dua karakter (menurut saya, bukan menurut Anda atau Ayu Utami). Dua karakter pembantu tersebut adalah Marja dan KupuKupu.

Marja adalah gadis energik dengan segala sisi kemanusiaan yang lugu. Marja merupakan pemanis yang tidak sekedar memberikan kemanisan dalam “bilangan fu”, tetapi juga memperkaya dan memperdalam cerita serta karakterisasi “bilangan fu”. Sebagai kekasih Yuda, Marja membawa cinta dalam novel ini, membawa keingintahuan serta kekasihan yang jujur. Jikapun Marja menjadi sudut pencipta cinta segitiga, menurut saya itu hanya ada dalam bayangan Yuda (sekali lagi itu menurut saya, karena saya pikir Parang Jati toh tidak pernah menyentuh Marja, tapi saya juga tidak tahu dalam hati Marja, hati perempuan sagat sulit untuk dimengerti).

Sementara karakter KupuKupu, berhasil menjelma menjadi karakter antagonis dalam otak saya. Karakter yang satu ini beberapa kali berhasil memancing emosi saya dalam mengalami “bilangan fu”. Meskipun pada akhir cerita terkesan karakter ini dikompromikan dengan keinginan pembaca, tetapi paling tidak di tengah cerita dia berhasil membuat saya ingin membunuhnya.

Secara garis besar, “bilangan fu”, mengekspresikan kritik terhadap modernisme (modernitas), monotheisme dan militerisme. Tiga tema utama yang berhasil diramu dengan baik oleh Ayu Utami menjadi apa yang disebutnya sebagai pemikiran “spiritualisme-kritis”.

Dalam kajian ilmu saya sebagai mahasiswa “ilmu hubungan internasional”, saya berhasil memetakan sendiri apa yang sebenarnya ingin diekspresikan oleh Ayu Utami. Yang pada gilirannya membawa saya untuk mengakui kekalahan saya terhadap argumen dan paradigma yang saya pegang selama 4 tahun kuliah. Buat yosie, saya mengakui kalau apa yang selama ini kamu perdebatkan dengan saya ternyata ada benarnya juga.

Selama ini, saya mengidentifikasikan diri saya sebagai orang liberal yang pragmatis oportunis. Saya melihat modernisasi sebagai jalan keluar yang paling baik untuk semua orang, saya percaya liberalisme dengan segala keoptimisannya mengenai kerjasama dan perdamaian merupakan jalan yang terbaik, sehingga saya luput melihat kelemahannya sebagai alat untuk menguasai. Ayu Utami, melalui “bilangan fu”, berhasil menghentak dan menyadarkan saya dari keterkuasaan atas ilmu saya sendiri, untuk merubah paradigma anti menjadi kritis. Bahkan dalam hal ini, paradigma pro juga saya geser menjadi kritis.

Dalam ilmu hubungan internasional, ini berarti saya mulai bergeser menuju pemikiran kritis (critical theory) dan/atau post-modernisme, yang selama ini saya anggap tidak rasional dan tidak masuk akal.

Terima kasih Yuda, Parang Jati, KupuKupu, Marja dan Ayu Utami. Terima kasih telah menyadarkan saya dari keterbelengguan atas ilmu saya sendiri, seharusnya saya tidak dikuasai oleh ilmu, seharusnya saya yang menguasai ilmu itu.

Nilai yang saya berikan untuk “bilangan fu”:

  • skala 10 : 9/10
  • bintang 5 : 5/5 bintang

CATATAN AKHIR

Beberapa pertanyaan dan catatan yang muncul dari pengalaman “bilangan fu” :

  1. Menurut saya, sepertinya tanpa sadar, Yuda mencintai Parang Jati lebih dari yang dia tahu.
  2. Kenapa dia harus “diakhiri” segampang itu????/
  3. Jika bilangan fu adalah kebalikan yang melengkapi bilangan hu, mengapa di akhir cerita bilangan fu diidentifikasikan sebagai salah satu dari atom perangkai ozon, padahal kan ozon punya 3 atom, berarti Marja juga mewakili suatu bilangan dong?
  4. Saya jadi ingin kembali ke alam dan menyelami budaya saya sebagai orang jawa, terima kasih parang Jati.
  5. Saya jadi ingin menjadi lugas dan dinamis seperti Yuda
  6. Saya jadi ingin memiliki kekasih seperti Marja,,, hahahahahahahahahahahah
  7. Jika ingin tahu contoh novel Bilangan FU, silahkan download link berikut ini, ada 10 halaman awal “bilangan fu” –> nukilan “bilangan fu”
  8. Baca peringatan yang ada di awal review ini!!!!!!!!

terima kasih!

education for aLL : achieving universal primary education

lets go to schoo;just wrote an article about one of the Millennium Development Goals..

the Millennium Development Goals, Goal 2, Target 3

the goal and target

the goal and target

in the article… i define primary education as an impurely public goods with the characteristic of rivalry.  According to Sandler’s terms of goods type, in impurely public goods with rivalry , always has a crowding cost, which is the additional cost needed if the user increases. Education, unlike global warming, global warming doesnt have crowding cost, because the number of user/consumer didnt account for the size of the coast, but in education, if the user increases, the cost would increase to.

if crowding costs exist, the consequence is the usage of the goods has to be limited, means there will be an exclusion for some people who couldnt afford it.

and the MDG, adopted by 158 countries and 150 NGOs, targetted that by 2015, the net enrollment of school aged children to school is 99%…

this means,, that MDG wants PRIMARY EDUCATION, which is excludable in nature, to be a good with no exclusion

well. if you’d like to read more about this… just look at my page…

the full article is there, but in Indonesian.. hehehehehehe

titlled MENUJU PENDIDIKAN DASAR YANG UNIVERSAL

if every child is as fortunate as her

KEY TOPICS on my articles are:

  • Primary education is a right and should be made available to everyone. a
  • With a 2015 target date for achieving the goals, very little time for action is left. A majority of countries have a six-year primary school cycle. To achieve universal primary education (UPE) in these countries by 2015, all children of the age to complete primary school that year will have to be enrolled by 2009, less than two years away. 1p.14
  • Around 72 million children of primary school age are not enrolled in school. Many more are forced to drop out before completing a full course of primary schooling.
  • The goal of achieving “education for all” cannot be reached without improving the quality of education. How well pupils are taught and how much they learn can have a crucial impact on the frequency and duration of school attendance.
  • Good quality education is essential for enabling developing countries to achieve the level of economic growth needed to tackle poverty and make sustainable development a reality. It enables people to transform their own lives and the society in which they live.
  • Educating girls and women has particular benefits for the health and prosperity of developing countries. For example in Africa, children of mothers who received five years of primary education are 40 per cent more likely to live beyond age five. b
  • Certain groups of children are more likely to be excluded from school on the basis of caste, ethnicity, religion or disability. Disabled children, disabled girls in particular, constitute a significant group that is denied access to education. The challenge is to support governments to provide quality education for excluded groups.

DFIF (2007) stated that:

• Globally, 570 million primary aged children are enrolled in school. But there are still around 72 million primary aged children who are not enrolled in school.
• More than half of the world’s out-of-school children are girls, and seven out of ten live in sub-Saharan Africa or South and West Asia. 1p.268 These regions are given priority by DFID.
• Abolishing primary school user fees in Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya has helped more than one million extra children to enrol in primary school, in each country.
• Girls’ net enrolment ratio (NER) in primary school (as a proportion of boys’ NER) has improved from a global average of 88% in 1991 4p.335 to 96% in 2005. 2 Gender parity has already been achieved at primary level in 100 countries, and another 18 are on track to achieve it by 2015.
• More than 18 million extra teachers will be needed over the next decade to provide every child with a quality primary education. It is estimated that sub-Saharan Africa will need an in flow of 4 million teachers in order to maintain stock and to achieve UPE by 2015. This includes 1.6 million new teaching posts that will need to be created.
• The impact of HIV/AIDS could add an additional US$1 billion to the annual bill for achieving UPE. 7p.15
• It is estimated that up to US$10 billion additional aid is needed annually to achieve the UPE and gender goals alone.

until we meet again, my friend!


Dear my friend,
Even though it will probably take you only five minutes to read this, it took me a long time to write it, and it took us almost four years to made it.

I hope you don’t see this as an attack on you, it’s not. Forgive me for my anger, I had to get it out and burn it up, so that I can be rid of it. Cause i feel like i’m losing you and missing you. You was the first friend i had in Surabaya,  i don;t know what life would be if you’re not my friend.

I know you didn’t have any means to leave us here, i know that you can’t undo that, and i know we’re not supposed to be sorry.

This is a letter to you, but not for you, it’s for me. It’s just a part of the work that I needed to do, so that I can get on with my life.

Good-bye.
Good-bye stand-up-for-love
Good-bye commenting every other person to make us feel better
Good-bye frustration, wondering, waiting, never knowing.
Good-bye foolish wishes and dreams.
Good-bye annoyance, by me, whether or not I had it coming.
Good-bye being manipulated because I allowed myself to be.
Good-bye feeling worthless, no matter what I did. and no matter what your advice is
Good-bye fear of what you’d do next.
Which reminds me,
Good-bye to your invitation to stayed up late til morning light,

I wish you the best

Hmmm… let me rephrase…. MAY ALL THE GOODBYEs in this letter replaced by UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MY FRIEND! until we meet again, robin!

goodbye my friend
