PEMBINGKAIAN PERISTIWA CIMAREME 1919: ANALISIS PEMBERITAAN H. HASAN ARIF DALAM SURAT KABAR BELANDA
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the reporting on the death of H. Hasan Arif in Dutch newspapers in 1919 and to reveal the discourse strategies used by colonial media to frame the event. The Cimareme incident of 1919 arose from the people’s rejection of the forced rice procurement policy that heavily burdened local farmers amid the food crisis caused by World War I. This research employs the historical method consisting of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, strengthened by Robert Entman’s framing theory, Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism, and Herbert Schiller’s perspective on political communication. The results show a systematic and uniform framing pattern: newspapers divided the reporting into three stages, namely simplification of the issue, justification of repressive actions, and reduction of the event into a mere legal case. The media consistently labeled H. Hasan Arif as a rebel and religious fanatic, while blocking access to alternative narratives to justify colonial power. This study contributes new insights by revealing the mechanism of colonial media as a hegemonic instrument, thereby enriching historical understanding of how resistance narratives were constructed to serve ruling interests.
