ROMANSA KEMATIAN: NEKROFILIA DALAM LIRIK LAGU MAKABERS
Keywords:
nekrofilia, , kritik sosial, dominasi gender, makabersAbstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam representasi tema nekrofilia dalam lirik lagu-lagu bertema kematian (makabres). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis isi lirik yang juga didukung oleh teori performativitas gender dan konsep biofilia-nekrofilia. Teori performativitas gender dimanfaatkan untuk meneliti konstruksi sosial identitas gender dalam lirik, sementara konsep biofilia-nekrofilia menyoroti ketegangan antara kecintaan pada kehidupan dan ketertarikan terhadap kematian. Temuan utama menunjukkan bahwa tema nekrofilia direpresentasikan sebagai dominasi terhadap tubuh perempuan, pelarian dari kenyataan sosial, distorsi konsep cinta romantis, dan kritik terhadap struktur patriarki. Penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa tema nekrofilia mengeksplorasi ketegangan antara estetika kematian dan nilai-nilai romantisme konvensional, serta merepresentasikan kegelisahan moral dalam budaya populer. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa penggunaan simbolisme kematian dalam lirik sering memicu pertanyaan kritis mengenai norma-norma moral dan konsep romantisme tradisional. Kesimpulannya, kehadiran tema nekrofilia dalam lirik lagu-lagu makabres berfungsi sebagai bentuk kritik sosial dan refleksi moral terhadap realitas budaya populer kontemporer.
