[ABSTRAKTesis ini membahas rekonstruksi identitas Minangkabau dalam narasi Persiden karya Wisran Hadi. Tujuannya adalah memaparkan gejala-gejala identitas melalui cara narator membingkai narasinya dan menyajikannya kepada penerima cerita. Dari gejala-gejala tersebut, dapat dijabarkan penanda Rumah Bagonjong yang didesak oleh ruang kota. Dari penelitian ini dapat diperoleh gejala tegangan antara ruang kota yang ditandai dengan Simpang Persiden dan ruang tradisional yang ditandai dengan keberadaan Rumah Bagonjong. Tegangan tersebut memunculkan negosiasi yang tidak diberi penyelesaian oleh Narator. Pada akhirnya, negosiasi direspons oleh Wisran Hadi dengan menghadirkan outer space yang dilihat dari pergerakan tokoh menjauh dari ruang Persiden. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa rekonstruksi identitas Minangkabau belum terjadi karena perubahan identitas itu masih dinegosiasikan.
