Application of Genetic Structural Theory in The Novel Bruised Moon on The Edge of Toba by Sihar Ramses Simatupang

The purpose of this study was to determine the genetic structure of
the novel Bulan Lebam di Tepian Toba, by Sihar Ramses Simatupang. This
study uses a qualitative descriptive method to collect and analyze data on the
material object of the novel Bulan Lebam di Tepian Toba, by Sihar Ramses
Simatupang. Structural Genetics is used to better understand the theoretical
concepts in material objects. As a result, this novel describes the facts of
humanity and the collective subject of the Toba people through the figures of
Hamonangan and Ganda. This novel describes the problems of human facts
and collective subjects. Humanity facts tell about social activities and
political activities. The social activity tells about the social problems in Tanah
Batak due to the operation of the Paper Mill. Humanitarian facts that contain
political activities tell about the approach of the authorities politically by not
involving villagers in the control of clan lands. While the collective subject,
tells about the social reality in Tanah Toba related to PT Indorayon (Paper
Factory). The collective subject of the Toba Batak is used as a collective
awareness to make social changes that have not been running in Toba Land.
The author of the story shows his response as Batak people in refusing to
control the exploitation of land carried out by PT Indorayon and the Village
Head who cooperated unilaterally with PT Indorayon.
