Abstract

This study analyses how Mary Wollstonecraft’s liberal feminism is represented in the film Kartini (2017). It specifically examines the portrayal of educational equality, women’s rationality, and women’s autonomy within Javanese feudal culture. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research draws on dialogues, scenes, character expressions, and visual elements from Kartini (2017). Data were gathered through observation, note-taking, and documentation, and analysed through identification, classification, interpretation, and description, all grounded in Wollstonecraft’s liberal feminist perspective. The findings show that Kartini (2017) portrays liberal feminism through three core elements. First, educational equality is highlighted by depicting women’s struggles to access education within a restrictive feudal culture. Visuals such as books, journals, letters, seclusion rooms, and relevant dialogues illustrate the clash between modern education and Javanese tradition. Second, women’s rationality emerges through Kartini and other women who critically challenge traditions such as seclusion, arranged marriage, and prescribed social roles. Third, women’s autonomy appears in their efforts to assert control over their life choices amid familial and societal expectations. The film presents liberal feminism as an ongoing negotiation with, rather than a full rejection of, Javanese feudal values. Thus, Kartini (2017) frames education, rationality, and autonomy as key tools in women’s fight against patriarchy and feudalism.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the rhetorical structure of the Mayor of Kediri’s speeches based on Monroe’s Motivated Sequence and to identify strategies for character portrayal through the elements of ethos, pathos, and logos in Aristotelian rhetoric. The study was conducted in the Kediri City Government environment with a data collection period from July to October 2025. The research population included the Mayor of Kediri’s speeches from 2023 to 2025, while the sample was purposively selected from five official speeches that met the criteria of complete rhetorical structure and contained the context of public policy and ceremonial events. The research instruments included documentation sheets for selecting and reviewing the speeches, as well as semi-structured interview guidelines used to obtain contextual data from Prokompim staff. The data were analyzed using textual analysis methods through two stages, namely rhetorical structure analysis based on the five stages of Motivated Sequence (attention, need, satisfaction, visualization, action) and character imaging analysis based on Aristotelian rhetoric. The results of the study show that all speech manuscripts consistently apply Monroe’s rhetorical pattern, particularly through the use of an interesting opening, presentation of public issues, policy solutions, visualization of the city’s future, and calls to action. In addition, all speeches present aspects of ethos, pathos, and logos in a balanced manner in building the image of the Mayor as a religious, credible, communicative leader.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the process of the main character’s self-actualization journey in the film Bolehkah Sekali Saja Kumenangis based on Abraham Maslow’s humanistic psychology theory. The research problem is focused on how the main character’s self-actualization journey in achieving self-actualization based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, as well as the psychological impacts caused by fulfilling these needs. The method used is qualitative with a literary psychology approach. The data source is the entire film Bolehkah Sekali Saja Kumenangis with research data in the form of dialogue, plot, setting, intonation, visuals of the main character, expressions, body movements, audio/music. The data collection techniques used are documentation and note-taking techniques. The data analysis technique used is the Miles & Huberman model. The results of this study indicate that there are 12 processes of fulfilling the main character’s needs to achieve self-actualization, which are influenced by various factors, such as internal factors, external factors, or both combined. The psychological impacts also vary, some are negative and positive. Negative impacts include anxiety, confusion, psychological exhaustion, emotional loneliness, low self-esteem, and despair. Positive impacts include health and calm, feeling safe, feeling loved, feeling accepted in the social environment, self-confidence, daring to refuse, self-acceptance, appreciation, independence, and forgiveness. In conclusion, the process of self-actualization of the main character is not easy and is full of challenges. Failure to fulfill the needs often occurs at the second level, namely the need for safety and security, due to the influence of external factors, in the form of the father’s dominance. This results in negative impacts that often arise at this stage. Then, positive impacts appear more in the fifth stage, when the main character has achieved self-actualization.
