Abstract

Phenomenal Woman is a poem by Maya Angelou that talks about women‟s bodies. From the first read, it seems that woman in this poem is defending herself against other woman with stereotype. Yet does she really defend herself? Or in fact fall into men‟s ideal in defending herself? The research analysis was conducted using Feminist Stylistic analysis approach., This research aims to elaborate how women‟s bodies is politicized and becomes a discourse in a poetic texts. This research used an objective approach in the analysis the researcher want to reveal and explain the representation and the image of the character “I” in this poem. From this research, the result shows that not only text, short stories or novels can be analyzed by discourse analysis, through feminist stylistic theory moreover poem can also be seen by the discourse analysis‟ point of view. Thus, there can be the result that there is politics of women‟s bodies. There are three criteria that can be found to identify the poetic language style in politics of bodies such us body as site of conflict, women‟s bodies as men‟s ideal (patriarchal paradigm), and women‟s bodies as discourse.
