| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to examine how disability discourse is represented in the
novel, since the main character named Ada lives in a very complex situation. She
lives in impoverished family, abusive mother, and discriminative environment in the
middle of World War II. This is interesting since the discussion about disability has
raised throughout the time, especially when it comes to United States of America that
has regulated the rights of disability in American with Disabilities Act (ADA) since
1990. In order to analyze this, I use theory of representation by Stuart Hall and is
supported with the discursive approach by Michel Foucault. This aims to examine
how disability discourse is represented in the novel and in the United States of
America Society. Besides that, it is also important to know the critical position of the
