Abstract

Not all children’s books provide the space to examine how children think and interrogate natural, cultural, and social phenomena through their cognitive and communicative lenses. However, Na Willa dan Rumah dalam Gang foregrounds children’s voices that are often overlooked, if not pushed to the periphery. Framing the text as a form of resistance narrative, this study aims to unravel how multiculturality is negotiated through the perspective of the novel’s protagonist and her interactions with adult characters. Given the focus of this study on uncovering the negotiation of multiculturality in a children’s novel, Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework is employed. Consequently, the findings are structured according to Fairclough’s three levels of discourse meaning-making. The first dimension of textual analysis examines authorial language style and intertextuality as tools for establishing an ideological stance. The second dimension highlights discursive practice in relation to the novel’s production and circulation. The third dimension employs recontextualization of critical multiculturalism (McLaren and Farahmandpur, 1999) to explore how the novel recenters the child as an active subject in meaning-making and in negotiating multicultural issues. In addition to recontextualized critical multiculturalism, the analysis also draws on linguistic and narratological understandings of discourse. This approach helps clarify how the author’s ideological orientation is textually manifested. The findings show that Na Willa dan Rumah dalam Gang situates children’s subjectivity at the centre of meaning-making around diversity, presenting it as a lived and celebrated experience rather than a merely anticipated ideal. Although children’s voices are recentred, adult characters still function as primary moral guides within the narrative. Overall, the study offers a renewed perspective on children’s literature as a medium for reimagining more nuanced forms of critical multiculturalism.

Abstract

Penelitian mengenai wacana yang disampaikan Obama dan Trump sudah banyak terdistribusi di ruang publik. Namun demikian, tiap penelitian memiliki fokus dan perspektif yang unik. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pidato Trump dengan Obama terkait wafatnya bin Laden. Penelitian ini menganalisis tiga metafungsi bahasa yang ditawarkan Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik (LFS) pada pidato-pidato tersebut. Data yang dikumpulkan berisi ujaran yang dilontarkan pada pidato dua presiden Amerika Serikat yang berbeda dan sangat fenomenal: Barack Hussein Obama dan Donald John Trump. Data didapat melalui rekaman pidato yang dipublikasikan di situs siaran video populer, Youtube. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguak makna dari pidato yang dibawakan oleh Barack Obama dan Donald Trump dan untuk mengidentifikasi berbagai strategi linguistik melalui kerangka teori yang digunakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Trump cenderung mengafirmasi, alih-alih memberikan arahan, sementara Obama lebih banyak menyebarkan informasi dan instruksi. Temuan ini juga mengindikasikan bahwa tiap orator menampilkan kuasa dan makna dengan cara yang berbeda, dan pilihan mereka dapat memiliki peran dalam membentuk cara pemirsa melihat isu yang dibawakan dan siapa saja yang terlibat di dalamnya.

Abstract

This study focuses on cultural identity and cultural changes that are experienced by the main character in the memoir The Girl with Seven Names written by Hyeonseo Lee. This study follows Hall's (1996) theory about cultural identity in the process of becoming rather than being. There are three scopes of study in analyzing cultural identity, including: how is the process of cultural identity constructed; the cultural disparities in achieving social status between South Korea and North Korea; and the criticism toward North Korea. Using a textual approach, the data were analyzed after the researchers did a series of close reading. The results reveal the struggle of the main character’s process of identity becoming as an immigrant in surviving the host culture to form a new identity as a North Korean defector. The findings also showed that this memoir was used as a form of criticism toward the North Korean government whose politics and class system restrict its people’s freedom.
