ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is to see how Nusa Five: Vol. 1 attempts to reimage Indonesian culture. This research is a qualitative research; we select, categorize, and interpret data after limiting what we analyze based on characters, names, settings, and properties. To validate the data, we conducted interviews with Sweta Kartika and referred to previous research and various literatures. To see how Indonesian cultural discourse is, we use Foucault's power and knowledge theory. This theory is used because discourse is formed by the relationship of power and knowledge. The result is that Indonesian culture is subtle, such that it is almost insignificant. However, this is precisely what makes this comic relevant to Indonesian culture a kind of an effort to reimage Indonesian culture because this comic was formed through negotiations between power and knowledge, which tries to break away from the dominant power and knowledge of Indonesian culture.
