Abstract

Nineteen Eighty-Four has been widely recontextualised in many different situations, but there has not been any discourse that tries to relate it with surveillance issues in the U.K. in the context of Covid-19 pandemic other than Big Brother Watch’s Stop Covid Passes campaign. This paper aims to discuss how the civil liberties organisation brings the fear of surveillance state presented in the novel into the real life situation happening in the U.K. society.via their public campaign called Stop Covid Passes. The campaign showcases a lot of negative evaluation of the mandatory Covid passes. However, not all agree with the campaign, and many have criticised it as an anti-vaccine movement. This paper conducts qualitative research through the three-dimensional framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) presented by Norman Fairclough to reveal the organisation's true intention behind the campaign and to examine the role of Nineteen Eighty-Four in this particular context. The findings show that the intention is indeed to stop the U.K. from becoming a surveillance state.

Abstract

Since the Great Migration in 1910, millions of African-Americans moved to Northern, Western, and Midwestern cities, prompting White flight to the suburbs in search of a racially homogeneous utopia. These suburban areas, rooted in discrimination, have a history of systemic racism. Little Fires Everywhere (2020), a Hulu mini-series based on Celeste Ng’s novel, explores these dynamics in a Midwestern suburb. Previous studies have linked race and class to motherhood in the series, revealing that racism often intertwines with structural disparities between ethnic groups. This paper examines the mother-daughter conflicts in Little Fires Everywhere, arguing that these conflicts arise not only from racial structures but also from the specific societal norms of suburban life. Using Fairclough’s (1989) three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model, this study uncovers the ideologies embedded in dialogue, the power relations produced through language, and how these elements shape relationships. The analysis reveals that racial identities and social class significantly impact mother-daughter dynamics. The Richardsons’ conservative, upper-class status fosters a superficial and strained relationship, while the Warrens’ financial struggles lead to dissatisfaction and dishonesty. The study highlights how language in the series reflects and reinforces power dynamics, influencing the characters’ relationships.

Abstract

Nowadays, the soccer world has been developing rapidly, particularly in Europe. In one of its countries, England, there are two notable soccer clubs that are worth discussing. They are Liverpool Football Club and Manchester United Football Club. These clubs have a considerable number of fans among all around the world. Also, they have anthems that are often sung by the fans. Their anthems are “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and “Glory Glory Man United.” These anthems are important because they give impacts both on the teams and on the fans. This study specifically discusses the underlying meanings within both anthems. They are revealed through the words, phrases, and sentences in the lyrics of the anthems. To do so, library research method is used. Interestingly, this study has found that associative meaning and figurative language are used frequently by songwriters to aestheticize words, phrases, and sentences used to express their aims. Therefore, it can be inferred that anthems are not only used for showing the identity of a soccer club, but also for giving support towards the home teams, yet become pressure towards the opposition teams at the same time.
