used in the research is critical paradigm with Gramcsian analysis model. Theory and concept of this research are
Antonio Gramcsi’s thoughts; hegemony-counter hegemony, political network alliance, political communication,
radical feminism, mass media in the New Marxist perspective (Gramcsian) and regional autonomy concept.
The research uses qualitative approach with case study method and feminist research as well as equipped by
method of the Gramcsian-Marxist analysis. Results and discussion of the research argue that women have been
undergoing marginalization both culturally and structurally in the political realm resulting in injustice of their
representativeness in parliament. The notion becomes rooted in the social structure and system and has been going
as a cultural system which is patriarchy system. The women altogether have to establish and belong to a solid
network alliance to give pressure towards the government; those are in power and the state in order to transform
conditions of women representativeness in parliament. They are therefore expected to have bargaining position
that is balanced or even stronger with the state. The position is needed by women in that they can compete with
men and create broader opportunity by which they achieve it by the release of the 2009 political party regulation
and the running of the regional autonomy regulation. In the Gramcsi’s concept, the equality of bargaining position
between women movement, represented as civil society and the state represented as political community highly
likely produce conceptual/intellectual and practical clashes to establish new hegemony whose consequence is
to prosper woman community and broader civil society as well as political community. In this phase, Gramcsi
names it as ‘counter hegemony’ movement in which women can present themselves and bear new hegemony after
winning the conceptual war against the old hegemony. The women’s struggles to run candidacy of The 2009 DKI
regional election took a form of ‘counter hegemony’. The effort was undertaken so that the women can owe high
bargaining position in politics that is influenced by the other power namely mass media. The need to supports of
media industry is inevitable. Media industry, as institution having capital ideology, might highly possible be used
by women movement/ the civil. In addition, women can take benefits from media to assist struggles of ‘counter
hegemony’. As a consequence, the women’s struggles of counter hegemony are complicated to do due to partial
and incomprehensive efforts. The women political candidates of DKI Jakarta possess resistant movement spirit or
fighting movement to transform cultural values of patriarchy especially in politics. In this notion, it is evident that
emancipation ideology is not effective to strengthen the movement unless it is as communal vision and mission
from elements of struggles that can produce women great energy to achieve their goals. The energy is no other than
‘collective will’ considered as fighting ideology which is necessary therein fighting ideas of women have constant
and significant energy.
