Abstract
This research aims to describe knowledge form of outbreak disaster mitigation in Indonesian poetry. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through phenomenological hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur as a meaning interpreter. In addition to understanding poetry as a text discourse, epidemiological study is used to reveal covid-19 outbreak mitigation that emphasizes human efforts toward outbreak control and prevention. Epidemiological study is used because the objectives of investigating outbreak among society is to control and prevent the recurrence of the outbreak. The Michel Foucault^s archaeological study of knowledge is also used as an instrument to reveal knowledge in poetry. It is used because the language in poetry becomes an instrument for articulating power when the power itself has to take the knowledge form. The reason is because the knowledge is defined in the form of the construction of discursus statements, including discursus about covid-19 outbreak mitigation constructed in Indonesian poetry as knowledge. The data of this research are couplets, typography, diction, images, and concrete word related to the mitigation efforts of covid-19 outbreak disaster found in poetry. The source of this research is 50 poetry by 50 Indonesian authors themed around Covid-19 and published in national newspapers, online media, and poetry anthology bookpublished since January to August 2020. The results of this research shows four types of outbreak mitigation knowledge in poetry, namely agent source control, cutting a link in the chain of transmission, host power-increase, and primordial prevention.
