Abstract (English): This study examines the representation of Malay women in Syair Putri Akal using Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic approach to strengthen the cultural identity of women that are often marginalized in historical narratives and classical literature. The background of this study is based on the importance of representing portraits of women in classical literary texts to understand the cultural roles they once held. This study aims to examine the representation of Malay women from their physical, character, and psychological images through an interpretive approach. The method used is qualitative with Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic theory, which includes the stages of distanciation, interpretation, and appropriation, to explore the poem's symbolic meaning. The results show that the character of Putri Akal is represented as a physically beautiful woman, has intelligence and wisdom in character, and is ethereal and gentle psychologically. The symbolization of beauty and reason in the character of Malay women shows the idealism of Malay culture towards women. In conclusion, Syair Putri Akal places women as objects and as active subjects in social and cultural processes. Hence, building a more equal narrative of women's identity is relevant.

Abstract (Indonesian): Penelitian ini mengkaji representasi perempuan Melayu dalam Syair Putri Akal dengan menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika Paul Ricoeur untuk memperkuat identitas budaya perempuan yang sering terpinggirkan dalam narasi sejarah dan sastra klasik. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari pentingnya menghadirkan kembali potret perempuan dalam teks sastra klasik guna memahami peran kultural yang pernah mereka emban. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menelaah representasi perempuan Melayu dari citra fisik, karakter, dan psikis melalui pendekatan interpretatif. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan teori hermeneutika Paul Ricoeur yang mencakup tahapan distani, interpretasi, dan penghayatan, guna menggali makna simbolik dalam syair. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tokoh PutriAkal direpresentasikan sebagai perempuan yang cantik secara fisik, memiliki kecerdasan dn kebijaksanaan dalam karakter, serta halu dan lembut secara psikis. Simbolisasi kecantikan dan akal budi dalam diri tokoh perempuan Melayu menunjukkan idealisme budaya Melayu terhadap sosok perempuan. Kesimpulannya, Syair Putri Akal tidak hanya menempatkan perempuan sebagai objek, tetapi juga subjek yang aktif dalam proses sosial dan budaya, sehingga relevan untuk membangun narasi identitas perempuan yang lebih setara.
