Abstract

This study, entitled Protagonist’s Optimism Values in Rachael Lippincott’s Five Feet Apart, aims to analyze the optimism values reflected through the main character, Stella Grant, using a qualitative descriptive method. The analysis focuses on how Stella’s behavior demonstrates optimism as she faces the challenges of living with cystic fibrosis. Despite her illness, Stella remains positive, adheres to her medical treatments, and strives not to burden her parents with grief. Her encounter with Will Newman—a more pessimistic patient—further shapes her understanding of life, resilience, and self-compassion. The study applies Snyder’s framework of optimism as cited in Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, identifying five core optimism values: having expectations for recovery, persistence, self-motivation, self-confidence, and resilience. The findings reveal that Stella most strongly embodies the values of maintaining high expectations for recovery and demonstrating high self-confidence. These aspects underline the novel’s central message of hope, perseverance, and emotional strength in the face of suffering.

Abstract

This study explores local wisdom in Andrea Hirata’s novel Guru Aini using a qualitative descriptive method supported by the Sociology of Literature approach and Indigenous Knowledge Theory. The research focuses on identifying and analyzing five core values of Indonesian local wisdom portrayed in the novel: mutual cooperation (gotong royong), respect for elders, simple lifestyle, love for family, and preservation of cultural traditions. These values are explored through the characters, setting, plot, and dialogue, all of which reflect the socio-cultural life of the Belitung community. The primary data source is the 2020 edition of Guru Aini, complemented by scholarly references from previous studies. The findings clearly show that all five values of local wisdom are consistently and meaningfully present throughout the novel. Each value is embedded not only in the actions and attitudes of the characters but also in the social interactions and traditions depicted in the narrative. Thus, the novel serves both as a literary text and a cultural repository, offering insight into Indonesia’s traditional knowledge systems. This research concludes that literature, particularly novels like Guru Aini, can be a powerful medium for preserving cultural identity and transmitting ethical values. The findings demonstrate that Guru Aini portrays five values of Indonesian local wisdom through narrative structure and characterization, reinforcing literature’s role as a cultural repository and educational tool for character development.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of feminism in Linda Howard’s novel Cry No More using Sara Mills’ Feminist Stylistics model. Situated within the romance thriller genre, the novel offers a productive site to explore how female agency is negotiated between empowerment and vulnerability. The data consist of selected narrative units featuring the protagonist, Milla Edge, which are analyzed through lexical and syntactic categorization focusing on Subject–Object positioning and reader positioning. The analysis reveals three dominant patterns: Milla is constructed as an active Subject through high-transitivity verbs and agentic nominalizations in her role as leader of the “Finders” organization; she is simultaneously rendered an Object via passive structures and a lexicon of suffering; and key resolutions of the plot often depend on male protectors. These findings demonstrate that Milla’s agency functions as “negotiated empowerment,” thereby contributing to feminist Critical Discourse Analysis of popular fiction by showing how patriarchal norms are both challenged and reproduced at the level of linguistic choice.

Abstract

This study examines the linguistic construction of melancholy and memory in Lang Leav’s poem “Revelation” from Memories (2015) through an integrated framework of feminist stylistics and affect theory. While contemporary feminist scholarship has increasingly engaged with affect, limited attention has been given to how linguistic form in minimalist poetry structures emotional knowledge. Addressing this gap, the study adopts a qualitative interpretive-analytical approach, combining close stylistic analysis with affective interpretation. Drawing on feminist stylistics (Mills, 1995; Montoro, 2023) and affect theory (Ahmed, 2014; Hemmings, 2024), the analysis focuses on lexical choice, grammatical patterns, and figurative language to examine how emotion operates as a mode of knowing. The findings demonstrate that Leav’s minimalist diction and syntactic restraint construct melancholy not as emotional passivity but as an epistemic process of self-recognition. Memory functions as an affective medium through which feminine subjectivity negotiates identity and emotional continuity. The study conceptualizes this strategy as affective minimalism: a poetic mode in which linguistic economy intensifies emotional cognition rather than diminishing it. This challenges traditional binaries between emotion and reason; positioning affects as a legitimate epistemological resource. Theoretically, the study extends feminist stylistics toward affective epistemology and contributes to contemporary feminist poetics by showing how minimalist poetic language can articulate emotional agency and feminist self-representation in the digital age.

Abstract

Abstract. Gender issues have remained a hot issue owing to various influencing factors, including gender overlap and social inequality. Gender is a social sex reconstructed by society for both men and women. The gender difference stereotypes have given rise to gender injustice detrimental to women. The presence of the concept of existential feminism initiated by Simone De Beauvoir is a bright spot and hope for all women, especially those in patriarchal system communities. The purpose of this research is to uncover the traditional paradigm that women are cultural products and their independence is delimited. This is not in accordance with the concept of human rights which basically states that every human being has the same rights in carrying out life. So it is hoped that this paper can be used as a reference to eliminate the marginalization of women. The research is carried out using a qualitative descriptive design with phenomenological method to explore or photograph social situations thoroughly, broadly and deeply and also supported by the theory of sociology of literature, the description of social reality in literary works. The data collection procedures and the data analysis are done systematically based on the existing theories of qualitative research method. The results of the research show that the protagonist implements the existential feminist concept through the ability to work, being intellectual and responsible.  Throughout the research it is proved that existential feminism still exists to explore the marginalization of woman, summed up with a text that women are independent beings. Keywords: Existential Feminism, Intellect, Profession, Responsibility

Abstract

This study examines the concept of collective knowledge in President A.S.’s speeches through the lens of social epistemology, focusing on the period from 2015 to 2020 within the broader temporal frame of 2000–2025. Departing from traditional individualistic accounts of knowledge, the research treats political discourse as a site where knowledge is socially constructed, authorized, and normatively deployed. Presidential speeches are approached not merely as rhetorical instruments but as epistemic practices that shape shared understanding and collective identity. Adopting a qualitative, philosophy-oriented methodology informed by a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and conceptual discourse analysis, the study analyzes official speeches to identify how collective knowledge is linguistically and philosophically framed. The findings reveal that collective knowledge is articulated through multiple forms, including experiential knowledge grounded in shared social experience, historical knowledge rooted in national memory, and institutional or expert-based knowledge that confers epistemic authority. These forms are strategically mobilized to legitimize political decisions, unify the audience, and guide collective action. From a social epistemological perspective, the study highlights significant tensions between epistemic authority and democratic inclusion. While appeals to collective knowledge foster cohesion and legitimacy, they also risk suppressing epistemic plurality and marginalizing dissenting perspectives. By situating presidential discourse within debates on collective intentionality, epistemic authority, and power, this research contributes to philosophical discussions on the ethical and political dimensions of collective knowing. It demonstrates the relevance of social epistemology for understanding how knowledge functions in contemporary political life.

Abstract

This study investigates Grade XII EFL students' perceived reading difficulty, reading self-efficacy, and comprehension of discussion texts from the government textbook Life Today. Guided by Cognitive Load Theory (to interpret perceived difficulty), Bandura’s self-efficacy framework (to examine confidence and persistence), and Barrett’s taxonomy (to structure literal, inferential, and evaluative comprehension), the study addresses three research questions: (1) What features of the Life Today discussion texts do students perceive as most difficult? (2) How do students describe their reading self-efficacy when engaging with these texts? and (3) How is comprehension demonstrated across literal, inferential, and evaluative levels? A qualitative descriptive design was employed at SMA Negeri 2 Kota Tanjungbalai, Indonesia. Thirty-six Grade XII students completed Written Comprehension Responses (WCR) aligned with Barrett’s levels, and fifteen students were purposively selected through maximum variation sampling for in-depth Think-Aloud Protocol (TAP) sessions and Semi-Structured Interviews (SSI). Data were collected sequentially (TAP–WCR–SSI) and analyzed using thematic analysis with directed coding supported by a transparent codebook and intercoder agreement procedures. Findings indicate that perceived difficulty clusters around tracking pro–contra arguments, processing academic vocabulary, interpreting contrastive cohesion markers, and generating inferences when conclusions are implicit. Students’ self-efficacy was relatively strong in persistence but weaker in evaluating arguments and justifying judgments with textual evidence. Comprehension patterns revealed stable literal understanding, whereas inferential and evaluative performance frequently weakened when students struggled to integrate claims, reasons, and evidence across paragraphs. The study highlights the importance of psychologically informed scaffolding such as argument mapping, explicit cohesion instruction, and mastery-oriented feedback to strengthen higher-order comprehension and reading confidence in textbook-based argumentative tasks.

Abstract

This study aimed to implement independent reading as a form of critical practice through the lens of literary theory and criticism among 30 eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Langsa. The research sought to introduce independent reading not merely as a leisure activity but as a reflective and critical engagement with texts. Employing a qualitative case study design grounded in reader-response theory, the study examined a group of students, a reading program, and a classroom context where independent reading was practiced as critical literacy. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, including students’ reading responses and assessment results. The findings indicate a measurable improvement in students’ reading performance, with pretest scores ranging from 45–80 (M = 61) and posttest scores ranging from 50–85 (M = 69). More importantly, the integration of literary theory within independent reading encouraged students to engage with texts from multiple perspectives, consider cultural contexts, and develop empathetic and interpretive awareness. These outcomes suggest that independent reading, when supported by literary theory and guided reflection, can function as an effective pedagogical strategy for fostering critical literacy in EFL classrooms. The study contributes theoretically by positioning independent reading as a critical-literary practice and pedagogically by demonstrating its potential to enhance students’ interpretive competence and engagement with literary texts.

Abstract

Poetry, as a form of literary expression, plays a significant role in conveying complex emotions and abstract ideas through imaginative language. This study aims to analyze the use of figurative speech in Helena Natasha’s poetry collection Dreams Spelled in Poetry, which explores themes of dreams, identity, and personal aspirations. The research is significant in providing a deeper understanding of how figurative language contributes to meaning-making and emotional expression in contemporary poetry. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach as proposed. The data were collected through documentation techniques focusing on poetic lines containing figurative expressions. The analysis is based on theory of figurative speech, which classifies twelve types of figurative language. The data were analyzed using the interactive model, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that 402 instances of figurative language were identified, with metaphor (68%) and personification (14%) as the most dominant types. These results indicate that Helena Natasha predominantly employs metaphorical and humanizing expressions to convey emotional depth and abstract meaning. The study concludes that figurative language plays a central role in enhancing the aesthetic and interpretative value of poetry.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of moral responsibility in the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant and its relevance to teacher professional ethics. Kant’s ethical theory emphasizes that the moral value of an action is determined by intention and adherence to duty rather than consequences. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using library research. The data sources include Kant’s primary philosophical texts and relevant literature on educational ethics. Data are collected through document analysis and analyzed using interpretative and thematic analysis to identify key ethical principles and their application in teaching practice. The findings show that the categorical imperative encourages teachers to treat students as ends in themselves, promoting fairness, respect, and integrity in classroom interactions. Teachers are positioned as moral agents responsible not only for knowledge transmission but also for students’ character development and dignity. However, challenges such as administrative pressures, curriculum demands, and social changes may hinder the consistent application of Kantian ethics in practice.mIn conclusion, integrating Kant’s moral philosophy into teacher professionalism supports a more humanistic and morally grounded educational environment, while highlighting the need for reflective practice and institutional support.
