| Summary: | This study aims to describe (1) aspects of violence in short stories in Jazz, Parfum,
dan Insiden, (2) socio-political conditions as backgrounds to the violence, (3)
the possibility for the fiction to reform society. The data source was Jazz, Parfum, dan
Insiden by Seno Gumira Ajidarma. The data were analyzed by the content analysis
employing the descriptive qualitative technique. The data trustworthiness was assessed
through the semantic validity. The findings show that (1) aspects of violence
include murder, torture, kidnap, rape, and other types of violence, (2) socio-political
conditions as backgrounds to the violence are human right violations including the
Dili incident at the Santa Cruz cemetery on 12 November 1991 and the conditions of
the occupied East Timor in general, and (3) the fiction has a role in forming readers’
awareness of violent acts by government apparatus in the occupation of East Timor
by the New Order government that tended to be militaristic and authoritarian. The
fiction indirectly gave contribution to the downfall of the New Order government
and the independence of Timor Leste.
