Pachinko (2022) is an American series produced and aired by Apple TV+ portraying generations of Zainichi trying to settle in Japan after their displacement from Japan-Occupied Korea that at the same time shows how American ideology as colonial contagion spread within the people. The act of mimicry displayed in the film’s narratology, production process, and additional intrinsic elements that differ from its novel version, Pachinko (2017), makes this series tend to become something ambivalent and lack a definite position—as if it gets recolonized after being free on its own. Other than that, dynamics during the Japanese occupation, whose practices are primarily inspired by the U.S., can be seen as setting the standard for ongoing life. By observing the series with film narratology including Verstraten’s (2009) mise en scene and focalization linked with theories surrounding the topic of postcolonialism, diaspora from forced migration, and the tendency to imitate or mimic, how the image of the U.S. wants to be built throughout the series can be identified. Moreover, focus on the theory of Bhabha’s (1994) mimicry will help to see how the production tries to make Zainichi seems to ‘put effort’ to be as similar as American. This series, as one of modern media platforms delivered into a private area, acts as the contagion transmitter with having the narrative form sick and infect the contagion within it towards the audience. With that, this research aims to analyze these forms of ‘contagion’ and the attempt at recolonization done by Americans which makes the contribution to the postcolonial discourse is to dissect this ‘new way’ of recolonization. Therefore, this research argues that forms of colonial contagion persist into the postcolonial era, perpetuated due to the obsession with gaining American recognition as a global center.

Indonesia, with its multicultural society, has many traditions/ Kimi no Na Wa (Your Name) is an anime displaying the reality of gender and women in a complex way. This complexity can be seen in the narrative displayed, namely the exchange of bodies between female and male characters. This article questions the phenomenon of women and their bodies in this anime. The analysis used phenomenological theory of perception with a descriptive analysis method. The result shows that the phenomenon of body exchange between men and women confirms gender issues that are not tied to sex. The exchange of bodies also indicates women's endeavor to change them from what were previously associated with rural and traditional into modern ones. In addition, the phenomenon of body exchange also emphasizes that the body is an essential element of human existence.

Penelitian ini menganalisis representasi perempuan sebagai subjek dalam drama bergenre Volksstück, Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald (1931) karya Ödön von Horváth. Kajian ini menyoroti bagaimana patriarki dan dinamika sosial ekonomi pada era Republik Weimar memengaruhi kehidupan tokoh perempuan. Pendekatan feminisme kekuasaan Naomi Wolf digunakan untuk mengeksplorasi upaya perempuan dalam merebut ruang dan mengklaim identitas mereka di tengah sistem patriarkal. Dengan metode analisis tekstual dan pendekatan New Historicism. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa melalui tokoh Marianne, Horváth memberikan kritik mendalam terhadap subordinasi perempuan. Dialog Marianne, perubahan nasibnya, dan hubungannya dengan karakter lain mencerminkan realitas kompleks perempuan dalam sistem patriarki. Sementara itu, tokoh Valerie menghadirkan perspektif perempuan modern yang mandiri. Valerie, sebagai janda yang memiliki kios tembakau, merepresentasikan perempuan yang mampu menavigasi tekanan sosial dan ekonomi meskipun menghadapi stigma dan hambatan dari masyarakat patriarkal. Keberadaan Valerie menunjukkan bahwa perempuan dapat mengambil peran aktif dalam ekonomi dan ruang publik, menjadi simbol ketahanan di tengah tantangan sosial-ekonomi.

In contemporary discussions of Iranian women’s writing, Embroideries (2005) by Marjane Satrapi is often read primarily as a humorous or subversive critique of patriarchy. However, less attention has been given to how the memoir constructs memory as a performative and collective site of agency within postcolonial feminist discourse. Set during an afternoon domestic gathering, the graphic narrative depicts Iranian women negotiating identity, sexuality, and honor through storytelling across three generations. Drawing on feminist narratology and postcolonial feminist theory, this study examines how narrative voice, dialogic exchange, and graphic sequencing work together to produce agency as a relational process rather than an individual attribute. Butler’s theory of performativity is applied to recurring speech acts such as gossip, confession, and teasing, showing how agency emerges through repetition, citation, and collective participation. Cixous’s concept of écriture féminine further illuminates how Satrapi’s fragmented visual style and intimate domestic dialogue transform everyday experience into a gendered mode of writing. Rather than presenting memory as passive recollection, the memoir figures remembering as an embodied and dialogic practice shaped by classed and domestic contexts. By displacing politics from spectacular historical rupture to intimate domestic interaction, the memoir reconceptualizes the collective as inherently political, demonstrating how shared storytelling operates as a mode of critique, negotiation, and survival. These findings contribute to feminist and postcolonial scholarship by expanding approaches to graphic memoir beyond trauma and autobiography, and by rethinking Iranian women’s agency as relational, performative, and grounded in everyday social practice.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah (2013) presents a narrative that shifts between different temporalities and spaces, a movement that is particularly experienced by its main character, Ifemelu, as she navigates through her Nigerian, American, and her newly found black identity. Similarly, the novel’s narrative attempts to showcase other postcolonial African women like Ifemelu, as well as their ambiguous identities and othered representations. Through this article, we examine the workings of Ifemelu’s narration as it shifts from one space to another, specifically from Nigeria to America and vice versa, through a narratological method. We will then focus on how these specific spaces occupied by Ifemelu and other African women, or what Ogundipe-Leslie calls “women’s spaces and modes, " work with the bodily experiences of the women and the black Atlantic world at large. Throughout the novel, the hair salon is the women’s space that the narration keeps returning to, serving as a bridge between the story’s past and present. However, a more constant form of women’s spaces also occurs through the narrative body itself, specifically through the narrative form of online blogs that showcase Ifemelu’s attempt to find familiarities with other black people of the diaspora. From this article’s analysis, we argue that the hair salon and the narration of the online blogs, as “micro-African” spaces, serve as mediums to reclaim and re-write the contingent and negotiated identities of postcolonial African in the new black Atlantic world.

This study examines how @PuriViera’s YouTube vlogs construct an imagined nation from the perspective of an Indonesian woman in diaspora living in California, United States. Functioning as video epistolaries, @PuriViera’s vlogs present American life through the narrator’s Indonesian perspective, constructing an idealized life built through the integration of Indonesian cultural habits into an American suburban setting. In doing so, the vlogger draws on her in-between, diasporic identity to establish narrative authority and credibility, generating the desirability of the life she portrays. The study focuses on three vlogs; Pengeluaran Seminggu di Amerika (2025), Sekolah TK di Amerika (2025), and Pesta Rumahan di Amerika (2024), as research objects, placing them within narratological frameworks to examine the construction of imagined national identity and diasporic life through focalization, voice, and the selective deployment of tripartite capital within the vlogs as texts. The analysis demonstrates that the imagined nationhood is produced not by American material culture itself but by the narrator’s Indonesian perspective, which selects, frames, and narrates American life for an Indonesian audience. The narrator’s authority emerges precisely from Puri’s in-between position, and her sustained Indonesianness amid American life is the specific condition that makes this imagined Indonesianness legible and credible to the audience. The study concludes that @PuriViera’s vlogs operate as a utopian narrative apparatus in which the narrator’s diasporic perspective is the mechanism that makes the ideal nation imaginable, displaying selected aspects of everyday Indonesian life against the amenities of the desired American social landscape as the benchmark for an ideal life.
