Bagi sebagian perempuan Indonesia, bekerja menjadi Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) luar negeri adalah salah satu cara untuk membantu keluarga keluar dari kemiskinan. Sayangnya perjuangan kaum perempuan yang bekerja sebagai TKI ini kadang tidak didukung oleh suami dan keluarga mereka. Banyak suami TKI yang menyalahgunakan kepercayaan dari istri –istri mereka, menelantarkan keluarga; bahkan menggunakan uang kiriman dari sang istri untuk berbagai perilaku menyimpang. Melalui sinteron “Dunia Terbalik” yang ditayangkan di RCTI ini kita diajak untuk melihat sosok suami TKI yang sangat bertolak belakang dari suami TKI pada umumnya. Sinetron ini menggambarkan suami yang dengan ikhlas menerima tugas sebagai “bapak rumah tangga”. Hal inilah yang disebut Jean Baudrillard sebagai hiperrealitas, dimana simulasi dari realitas menciptakan realitas baru atau hiperralitas yang menyelubungi realitas yang sebenarnya. Para suami diperlihatkan ikhlas menggantikan peran istri dan meletakkan kekuasaan mutlak di tangan istri. Hiperrealitas yang diperlihatkan pada sinetron ini dapat menjadi titik awal yang memunculkan konsep kesetaraan gender, serta berkontribusi untuk menghapuskan stigma negatif yang melekat pada kalangan TKI serta keluarga mereka.Kata Kunci : hiperrealitas, gender, peran, TKW, sinetron, stigma, negatif
For some working women, becoming a domestic worker is the only way for them to support their families. When they choose to work as domestic, they automatically become associated with negative stereotypes from the community. Through in-depth interviews conducted with three female domestic workers as informants, this study presents narratives related to their experiences working as domestics. The narratives from these three women who work as domestics showed that they were able to explain clearly the job that they do, and that they have positive associations to their profession, even though they realized that they are doing a job that is considered dirty and lowly by the community. A good relationship with the employer, as well as a comfortable working atmosphere, is one of the factors that determined the construction of meaning related to the job. Narratives from women domestic workers in this study showed that they are able to create positive meaning related to a job associated with negative stereotypes because they have a good relationship with their employer and family.
