Abstract

This study utilized Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), grounded in Van Dijks framework to investigate how online news articles from American and Indonesian outlets portrayed anti-vaccine views related to COVID-19. Through systematic online searches, the research examined the data through the lenses of macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure. Eight articles were selected for this study: four from American sources and four from Indonesian sources. The selected articles were published during specific periods: February 2022 to February 2023 for the U.S., and January 2021 to January 2022 for Indonesia. These articles, ranging from 500 to 1500 words, focused on Anti-Vaccine COVID-19 topics. The findings revealed distinct thematic differences. The macrostructure analysis showed that American articles highlighted distrust in specific vaccines and opposition to mandates, fostering skepticism, while Indonesian articles examined a wider range of cultural, religious, and personal factors influencing vaccine hesitancy, including anti-vaccine sentiments among expatriates and athletes. The superstructure analysis indicated that American reports emphasized controversy, whereas Indonesian reports explored motivations more deeply. Additionally, linguistic choices in the microstructure influenced portrayals, with American articles using dysphemism and active voice to emphasize danger, while Indonesian articles employed strong language to convey diverse perspectives. Despite its emphasis on textual analysis, this study offered significant insights into the sophisticated discussions of anti-vaccine sentiments in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as reflected in American and Indonesian online news.

Abstract

The physical appearance, particularly beauty standards influenced by social constructs, significantly impacts a woman's self-esteem and employment opportunities. Regrettably, black women, particularly African-American women, often experience marginalization due to societal beauty standards, racial biases, and gender discrimination within patriarchal settings. In light of this, our research employs the miniseries "Self-Made" to delve into how the dialogue spoken by the characters in the miniseries reflects the experiences of black women in the workforce. We utilize a qualitative descriptive research method with a feminist stylistic discourse analysis approach, following Sara Mills' methodology. Employing both word, phrase, and sentence-level analysis along with discourse-level examination, our study reveals the negative and degrading portrayals of black women in terms of their physical appearance, profession, and their place as women of the Negro race. Nevertheless, we also unearth instances where black women workers are depicted positively, reflecting their courage and empowerment in confronting racial stereotypes and patriarchal power. Our research aims to enhance understanding of the issues faced by black women by examining how they are represented in relation to their intersectional identities. Moreover, it highlights the significance of tackling preconceptions and biases present in media depictions, pushing for a society that is more inclusive and fairer.
