Studi Literatur: Dinamika Budaya Patriarki Dalam Keluarga

Abstract

Until now, patriarchy remains a widespread issue in Indonesia. It is no

longer limited to the lower-middle class, as patriarchal practices have

spread to the upper-middle class as well. Patriarchal culture

represents a social system that places male dominance in various

aspects of family life and has significantly shaped the relational

structure and social roles of family members. This study employs a

qualitative approach aimed at analyzing the dynamics of patriarchal

culture within the family environment. The research uses a literature

review method, relying on various materials such as books and

journals. The findings show that patriarchy in the family is not static

but undergoes complex transformations, creating tensions between

tradition and modernity. These dynamics also affect the division of

roles, decision-making, and the distribution of power among family

members. This condition impacts the relational processes among

family members, leading to imbalances in roles between men and

women. This study is expected to provide significant contributions to

deepening the understanding of cultural interactions and power

structures within the family and serve as a basis for social change

efforts towards justice and gender equality in the domestic context.
