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

World War II was a major event that occurred in the past that had many impacts on human life, both in terms of economy, social, and culture. In addition, World War II also had an impact on literary works. Many writers criticized and expressed their emotions through literary works. One of them is the novel An English Murder by Cyril Hare which is set in the post-World War II era. This study aims to analyze how the novel An English Murder reflects what happened in Britain at that time using a qualitative descriptive method. Using Lucien Goldmann's theory of human facts, which emphasizes that literary works relate to the social structures that shape them, this study concludes that the novel An English Murder clearly depicts the social conditions in England after World War II. In addition, the research also shows that although An English Murder is a work of detective fiction, it manages to portray a broad social and political reality, as well as provide an overview of the problems that occurred in post-World War II Britain.

Abstract

This research aims to contribute to the analysis of feminism and patriarchal culture related to the objectification of women's bodies and their resistance in the memoir My Body released in 2021 and written by Emily Ratajkowski. The memoir My Body (2021) illustrates that patriarchal culture grows and develops in people's lives as shown by the dominance of men over women in various aspects of life which causes women's bodies to be objectified so that they experience limited access in various fields of life. The analysis in this study includes the depiction of patriarchal culture and objectification of women's bodies in the memoir My Body (2021) and the resistance to patriarchal culture carried out by female characters in the memoir My Body (2021). In conducting the analysis, the researcher used the literary criticism method by using the theory of feminism from Helene Cixous' thoughts to analyse feminism related to the culture of objectification of women's bodies and their resistance. The results of this study found 4 data in the form of narratives. This research describes body objectification as a culture that limits women that makes women disadvantaged, the culture depicts women as figures who depend on male superiority, and as objects of male lust. In their resistance, women reject norms by writing. Women also resist the culture of objectification by being independent from male roles, independent in defending themselves, and independent in making life decisions. Women are also portrayed as rebelling against male control. This research makes an answer to Helene Cixous' theory of "why women should write" because they have to "fight" the norms and culture that limit and harm women themselves and only fellow women understand how to be in that position.

Abstract

Mythology or myth is an important part of the study of literature. A comparative study of two literary works written in the same language and originating from the same cultural context is not a valid application of this field. This study employs a comparative literature methodology to examine the similarities, differences, and classifications of myths associated with the Legend of Lake Toba and the Creator of Lake Chala. This research utilized a comparative literature framework to analyse the myths associated with the research subjects. This study employed a qualitative research design utilizing descriptive analysis and library research.  Both narratives employed the established plot structure identified as Freytag’s pyramid.  Despite the narrative differences, the plots of the two stories are theoretically analogous.  The Legends of Lake Toba and Lake Chala exhibit significant similarities, particularly in their narrative structures, cautionary motifs, and consequences of unmet obligations.  Based on the noted similarities and differences, particularly in the plot, the authors concluded that both The Legend of Lake Toba and The Creator of Lake Chala fit within the speculative and explanatory (etiological) category of myths.
