Abstract

This research has two objectives. The first is to reveal the unconventional images of children deconstructed by Wilson‟s The Illustrated Mum. The second is to show how deconstruction is presented in Wilson‟s The Illustrated Mum. This research applies Derrida‟s deconstruction and children‟s literature theory. The researcher used qualitative analysis. This research‟s main data were words, phrases, sentences, clauses, and discourses taken from Wilson‟s The Illustrated Mum. To analyze the data, the researcher used content analysis. This is a technique of gathering and analyzing the content of the text. The content refers to a means of communication using various media such as novels. To ensure trustworthiness of the data, the researcher used triangulation. The result of this research is that there are two unconventional images of children shown by the unconventional traits and unconventional roles of children. The unconventional traits include caring, sensitive, unselfish, responsible, and independent. The unconventional roles are parenting, protecting one another, and doing household responsibility. The second result is that Wilson uses seven ways to deconstruct the conventional images of children and children‟s stories. Those seven ways are creating complicated plot, using different point of view, employing sensitive issues, subverting adult/child image, subverting good/bad image, subverting male/female child image, and denying logocentrism. Keywords: Deconstruction, children‟s literature, logocentrism, conventional images of children.
