Abstract
Matrilineal kinship in Minangkabau does not absolutely give power to women. It turns out that men still get a chance to carry out hegemony to women. Based on these problems, this study aims to examine the patterns of hegemonic masculinity manifested in the relationship between mamak (uncle) and kemenakan (niece) of women in two Indonesian novels, Orang-orang Blanti by Wisran Hadi and Perempuan Batih by A.R Rizal. This study applies descriptive qualitative methods and discussion of research problems with content analysis techniques. Analysis and interpretation of research problems are carried out with data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the hegemony of mamak's masculinity towards kemenakan (nephew) manifested in two patterns, a) intellectual and moral leadership; and b) domination (violence). Two patterns of hegemony of masculinity are carried out by male figures over female figures to exercise control in terms of regulating family inheritance rights, unilaterally regulating marriages, and regulating work areas for women. The results of this study have implications for the regulation of gender mainstreaming for women in the Minangkabau matrilineal social and cultural system.
