Abstract

Representation of culture is portrayed in literary works. The representation of culture brings the reproduction of the said culture into public eyes. When the representation of a culture is wrongly done, the country whose culture is being presented takes its burden. This problem is depicted in Aisha Saeed’s Written in the Stars. Regarding the issue, this research is intended to analyze the cultural representation of two cultures presented by the author in the story using Stuart Halls representation theory. Furthermore, this is qualitative research in which the researcher comprehends social problems based on detailed information in its natural setting on the novel. Based on the analysis, the representation of two cultures, which are Pakistan and America, varies from each other. The cultural representation of Pakistan emphasizes the condition of a third-world country with issues of how women are unfairly treated. In contrast, the cultural representation of America explains the country, aside from their sexes, treats individuals fairly.
