N2  - ABSTRACT
 
The significance of the image has been a central topic of discourse both in the academic sphere and public culture in recent decades. W.J.T. Mitchell calls this change the ?pictorial turn? to mark a shift from the linguistic turn. The pictorial turn also impacts genocide and massacre studies. Images are not only tools for illustrating, but are also the main elements that contribute to knowledge formation of tragedy and memory transmission. The central concern of this research is mixed media, a graphic narrative entitled Sejarah Gerakan Kiri Indonesia untuk Pemula [The History of the Indonesian Left Movement for Beginners]. This mixed media work is a powerful instrument to build a new interpretation of the 1965?1966 massacre in Indonesia from the victims? point of view, based on Mitchell?s perspective. 
The 1965?1966 massacre in Indonesia killed more than 500,000 and arrested more than one million people without trial. The massacre targeted the members or partisans of the Indonesian Communist Party [Partai Komunis Indonesia] (PKI). In addition, the state used many cultural products, such as films and monuments, as means of indoctrination. In reaction to the situation, many survivors and artists have created alternative narratives of the 1965?1966 massacre in various media. One of the victim narratives is a 527-page illustrated book entitled The History of the Indonesian Left Movement for Beginners (2016), published by a group of illustrators, coordinated by Yayak Yatmaka. 
This research employs Mitchell?s key concepts, such as the pictorial turn, metapicture, biopicture, the relationship of image and text, and images? power, to examine mixed media and its power to build a new interpretation of the 1965?1966 massacre in Indonesia.
This study suggests that mixed media can be a powerful instrument to represent the 1965?1966 massacre in Indonesia, primarily through its metapicture of perpetrators in animal visual metaphors and metapicture of mass violence in visual excess. This study also finds that Indonesia's 1965?1966 massacre image is a biopicture that always transforms into other media, despite the Indonesian state?s banning of the victim narrative. To enhance the viewers? understanding of the massacre, the illustrated book employs a visual narrative to support the verbal narrative. The victim narrative mixed media also uses the ?image against image? strategy to counter the master narrative?s images.
