Abstract

Heaven is a Japanese novel authored by Mieko Kawakami in 2009, translated by Bett and Boyd in 2020. Kawakami identifies bullying in schools, particularly through the character Iijima, as the central theme of this story. Moreover, the phenomenon of bullying stems from the fundamental issue of social class inequality. This research aims to: 1) identify social class through the frameworks of Marx and Levy, Jr.; 2) elucidate Kawakami's perspective and the concept of transindividuality; and 3) assess the significance of social class inequality in translation practices. This research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach, which focuses on social analysis. However, it persuades social classes to comprehend analysis and utilize sociology literature and literary translation from the perspective of an English learner. This research identifies the highest class as Ninomiya, who is a facilitator of bullying, while the lowest class is represented by Eyes and Kojima, who suffer from bullying. Kawakami created those characters as a manifestation of her social and humanity philosophy, taking into account her own past experiences. Therefore, Bett and Boyd, as the translators of Heaven, uphold the values of social class inequality

Abstract

This study examines social class inequality in 1912 English society as reflected in J.B. Priestley’s play An Inspector Calls. The play highlights the structure of society based on powerful class differences, where the upper class represented by the Birling family and Gerald Croft have privileges that the working class represented by Eva Smith does not have. The study uses a mimetic approach that views literature as a reflection of human life. To explore how inequality is portrayed through interactions between characters, this study uses a qualitative descriptive method. In addition, it uses the concept of base and superstructure in Marxism to examine how the economic structure (base) shapes and maintains social norms, ideologies, and institutions (superstructure) to perpetuate the dominance of the bourgeoisie over the working class. The results of this study reveal three main aspects: labor exploitation, class domination and social control, and gender inequality in capitalism. The results show that An Inspector Calls not only serves as a play, but also as a critique of capitalist society, by exposing how the economic structure maintains class-based oppression.
