Abstrak

Globalisasi ditandai dengan tersebarnya produk teknologi budaya Barat. Salah satu produk budaya Barat yang sangat berpengaruh adalah film Hollywood. Narasi fiktif tersebut menghasilkan beberapa gagasan imajinatif yang berlaku juga pada media sosial komunikatif seperti situs kencan, video porno, hingga iklan. Kesadaran imajinatif barat terhadap geopolitik di luar dirinya atau other diungkap oleh Edward Said dalam Orientalisme. Said yang pada awalnya mengkaji praktik imajinatif Barat melalui Sastra membuka peluang terbukanya kajian pada media lainnya dengan gagasan bahwa Barat memiliki distorsi pengetahuan tentang Timur, salah satunya menganggap bahwa Timur Eksotis. Gagasan eksotis tetap hadir dalam imajinasi digital Barat ketika memandang Wanita Asia sebagai representasi wanita timur. Beberapa film Hollywood, situs kencan, video porno hingga iklan masih menghadirkan stereotip Wanita Asia yang asing, misterius, aneh dan sensual. Wanita Asia terjebak pada peran eksotisnya dalam ruang imajinasi digital tersebut. Mereka dieksotiskan dan mengeksotiskan diri di hadapan publik digital. Globalisasi dan perkembangan teknologi komunikasi dalam imajinasi digital terbukti tidak menghentikan stereotip terhadap wanita asia bahwa mereka eksotis. Justru melalui imajinasi digital dan kehendak kapitalisme global, representasi wanita asia dipertontonkan, dirayakan, dipromosikan dan diambil keuntungan darinya.
