Abstract

Online fandom communities represent one of the most dynamic and linguistically diverse environments on social media, where politeness and hostility coexist within the same communicative space. This study investigates the realization of illocutionary speech acts in YouTube comment sections, focusing on interactions within anime fandom debates. Using Searle’s classification of illocutionary acts and Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory, the research analyzes 200 comments collected from popular anime-related videos between 2023 and 2024. The findings reveal that expressive and representative acts dominate the discourse, functioning both as strategies of solidarity and as tools of verbal conflict. Politeness emerges through acts of appreciation, humor, and defense of shared fandom identity, while hostility is expressed via sarcasm, ridicule, and impoliteness. The study concludes that the coexistence of these two forces reflects the social negotiation of identity and belonging within online fan cultures.

Abstract

This study presents a feminist analysis of the film Gone Girl (2014) through the theoretical lens of the male gaze concept proposed by Laura Mulvey. The study explores how the film deconstructs traditional patriarchal cinematic structures by repositioning the female protagonist, Amy Dunne, from an object of visual pleasure to an active subject who controls the narrative and psychological manipulation. Using qualitative content analysis methods, the study identifies key scenes and visual strategies that challenge the conventions of female representation in mainstream Hollywood cinema. The findings suggest that Gone Girl does not simply symbolically reverse gender roles, but also critically questions the mechanisms of spectatorism, representation, and power embedded in cinematic language. This study contributes to the broader discourse on gender and visual culture, by showing how contemporary cinema can be a space of resistance to normative feminine representations and patriarchal ideologies embedded in film production.
