Abstract

Penelitian ini merumuskan bagaimana narasi trem tentang bau, tempat duduk, tiket, dan
interupsi merepresentasikan stratifikasi dan segregasi; bagaimana tatanan spasial internal trem
mengonfigurasi ulang dan mengganggu ruang-waktu perkotaan; dan bagaimana representasi ini
beresonansi dengan, atau memperumit, pola historis modernisasi transportasi dan diferensiasi
sosial di kota-kota Indonesia. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan memperlakukan
teks fragmen Kota-Harmoni sebagai arsip simbolis pengalaman urban pada masa penjajahan. Studi ini menggunakan tiga konsep, yakni (1) distansiasi ruang-waktu Giddens, (2) kompresi ruang-waktu dan urbanisasi kapitalis Harvey, serta (3) transportasi sebagai medan kecepatan yang terdiferensiasi Khusyairi dan Colombijn. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kompartemen trem memadatkan berbagai hierarki—pembagian kelas formal, ekspektasi rasial, dan perbedaan status lokal—menjadi satu lokasi yang bergerak. Gesekan sehari-hari terkait terasi, tempat duduk, dan penundaan menampilkan rezim pemerintahan kolonial dan masa perang yang abstrak. Teks ini sekaligus menarasikan krisis ruang-waktu pada lingkungan perkotaan yang terkompresi, ketika sebuah perjalanan melalui trem menjadi medan stratifikasi sosial serta mengungkap akses yang tidak merata terhadap kecepatan, kenyamanan, dan kendali atas pergerakan
