Penelitian ini mengambil topik subjektivitas perempuan pekerja seks dalam tiga karya Utuy Tatang Sontani: Selamat Jalan Anak Kufur, “Menuju Kamar Durhaka”, dan “Doger”. Tiga pekerja seks tersebut ditampilkan melalui tokoh Titi, Aku, dan Selendang Merah. Dengan menggunakan metode kritik feminis yang berfokus pada isu tubuh dan ruang perempuan, pembahasan dibagi menjadi dua bagian yang berkaitan dengan tubuh, ruang, dan subjektivitas pekerja seks. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dapat dimaknai bahwa: (1) tubuh dan ruang pekerja seks ditampilkan sebagai aset ambivalen dalam posisinya sebagai subjek dan objek; (2) posisi subjek-objek yang bahagia berkaitan erat dengan perspektif yang digunakan tokoh dalam memandang pekerja seks. Oleh sebab itu, dapat diargumentasikan bahwa Utuy memosisikan tiga tokoh perempuannya dalam posisi subjek dan objek yang tidak ajek.This research talks about the subjectivity of women sex workers in Utuy Tatang Sontani’s works titled Selamat Jalan Anak Kufur, “Menuju Kamar Durhaka”, and “Doger.” Women sex worker are portrayed through characters named Titi, Aku, and Selendang Merah. By using a feminist literary criticism method that focuses on women’s body and space, the discussion has been divided into two sections related to body, space, and subjectivity of the sex workers. Body and space are the crucial aspects for the characters in Utuy’s works when achieving their status as a subject. Based on the results of the analysis it can be interpreted that: (1) the bodies and spaces of the sex workers are depicted as an ambivalent asset in their position both as subject and object; (2) the position of happy subject-object status of the sex workers is closely related to the perspective used by the character in looking at sex workers. Therefore, it can be argued that Utuy positioned the three women characters in the position of subjects and objects that were not fixed.
