	abstract = {Focusing on the film adaptations of Laskar Pelangi and Dilan 1990, my concern is “Ideology and Politics of Adaptation: Critical Reading of Laskar Pelangi and Dilan 1990 as Cultural Texts”. Every adaptation comes with defined ideology and that is mostly due to its concern on the plot, conflict, and character building of the story. The adaptations of these novels did not only involve a change of medium. What requires concern is the social representation and value, ideology, and the politics of power in these popular novels. The objective of this study is to examine the articulation of ideology in the cinematographic adaptations of Dilan 1990 and Laskar Pelangi and to analyse the similarities and differences in their ideological underpinnings. This research contributes to the discourse of adaptation theories by incorporating ideological critique, film theories, film discourse, and media literacy within the Indonesian context. This study employs a qualitative approach within the framework of critical cultural studies, employing interpretation and comparison within a critical paradigm. The data collection methods utilised in this study are documentation and non-participant observation. The data underwent analysis using CDA (Critical Discourse Analysis) with the frameworks of adaptation, discourse, ideology, and representation critique. From the interpretation of the narrative and ideological representation within the context of viewing rituals and cultural text interpretation, it was revealed that both films, albeit produced in different contexts, tend to displace, depoliticise, and individualise the socio-political landscape while reproducing the dominant ideological hegemonies of developmentalism andheteronormativity through narrative metamorphosis and selective amnesia. This research also exposes a lack within adaptation studies literature which is the absence of the political and ideological aspects of film adaptations in Indonesian cinema.},
