Abstract

Language is a form of human emergency sensitivity to the situation around it. If observed, if the linguistic position is in the semiotic point pattern, then natural signs can be a form of verbal power. Accompanying Nietzsche's thoughts on a strategy he calls "geneology" in historicism, in order to observe the traditions of creativity that exist in society, Nietzsche believes that every creation has a special set of interests for a particular location or context. The Bajo people as a sea tribe in general, including ethnic Bajo who inhabit Katela Island in West Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi also establish this creative process in the copyright mantra, which is in the form of sea spells arranged in diction and symbols on signs and codes given by nature. The significant process occurs when spells as something that is believed by the Bajo people in fishing activities have many functions. This study adopts Derrida's Deconstruction theory, in Derrida's view, the core location of deconstruction is deconstruction related to language. If conventional semiotics emphasizes the signification process, namely the functioning of the sign as a reflection of established social codes, then in the poststructuralist semiotics which is emphasized is a significant process, namely a creative creation of signs and codes without and without limited.

Abstract

(Title: Just Like Black, Only Better: Poor White in Antebellum South of America Depicted in Solomon Northup's Novel "Twelve Years as A Slave"). Antebellum era, the period before the Civil War occured, or before the year 1861, in the United States is used to relate to the enslavement of black American. In fact, the era was not merely about black, but also poor white. This study is purposed to describe the poor whites' life in antebellum America as reflected in Twelve Years As A Slave (1855), a narrative biography novel written by Solomon Northup. Set up the story in New York, Washingotn DC, and New Orleans, the author (and focalizer at once) told the story based on his own experience as a black who was captivated and sold into slavery for twelve years. Although the novel centered its story on black character, it also reflected the life of poor whites who were also being "enslaved" by their white counterparts. Through sociology of literature perspective, this study reveals that the character of poor white that represented through John M. Tibeats, Armsby, and James H. Burch came from Great Britain especially from Ireland. Mostly, they moved to America as incarcerated people. They lived under the poverty and some of them were the vagrants and petty criminals. Poor white during antebellum era in America was positioned in the lower social level. They were "enslaved" by their white master but more better compared to the black slaves. It can be noticed that poor white were positioned in low social level because of the socio-economic problem, while blacks were race and racism.

Abstract

This study purposed to show the image of Victorian women in England through the playwright script An Ideal Husband written by Oscar Wilde. Feminist criticism proposed by Elaine Showalter is used as a tool to analyze the women images in the drama script, particularly dealing with Victorian women. The result of the analysis indicated that the script presents women in two faces; women as angels and women as demons. A woman as an angel is described as an ideal image of a woman in Victorian society. They are portrayed as women who maintain piety, purity, submission, and domesticity in societal life. Whereas Women as demon is described as the opposite ones, a contradicting image against the values of traditional Victorian women. They have an aggressive, independent and ambitious attitude which were prohibited to be owned by women. Angel seems represented the ideal image of women in patriarchal norms. Demon, in the other hand, is the picturesque of ideal women in feminist perspective.

Abstract

The research discusses the denotative and connotative meanings in the movie The Hustle, based on Barthes’s theory. The objective of this research is to describe how denotative and connotative meanings are conveyed in the film The Hustle, utilizing Barthes’s theory. To support the research, the researcher adds additional theory retrieved from Dickins (2019) to identify the types of connotative meanings that appear. The descriptive qualitative method is used in this study. The source of data is based on the Hustle movie. The data was gathered by downloading, watching, reading, identifying, and coding. The data were analyzed by presenting, describing, interpreting, and concluding the data analysis results. As a result of the analysis, it can be concluded that in the Hustle movie, denotation describes the literal meaning of the things the researcher found in this movie, and connotation describes the underlying, deeper messages. The use of denotation and connotation words reveals the characters’ traits, indicating that Penny’s personality is that of a casual person. In contrast, Josephine’s personality is more formal, preferring to speak correctly. The researcher also found that the Hustle movie features several scenes that perpetuate stereotypes. The picture illustrates a stereotype prevalent in a particular country. Messages or feelings that a film evokes cause the movie’s audience to experience a range of emotions while watching it.
