Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of sexual harassment cloaked in religious legitimacy through an analysis of the film Walid (2025), a cinematic work that critiques the abuse of religious authority. The background of cases of sexual violence in Lombok, especially in Islamic boarding schools and educational institutions, shows the existence of unequal power relations and a culture of silence that worsens the situation of victims. Walid’s film depicts charismatic religious leaders who manipulate sacred teachings to establish absolute power and commit symbolic and sexual violence. The main objectives of this study are to: (a) identify the forms of sexual harassment that are justified in the name of religion, (b) analyze the representation of religious power in films as social criticism, and (c) provide social reflections to encourage the reform of the protection system in the religious environment. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, analyzing the theories of Power and Symbolic Relations (Michel Foucault), Symbolic Violence (Pierre Bourdieu), and Feminist Critical Theology. The findings of the study show that Walid is not only a fictional representation, but also a reflective means that expose the oppressive power structures in religious institutions, as well as invite the public to build critical awareness, fight for justice for victims, and reject all forms of violence that take refuge behind religious symbols.

Abstract

 Literary translation plays a crucial role not only as a linguistic bridge but also as a medium for transferring culture, aesthetic values, and complex emotional expressions. Unlike technical or legal translation, literary translation demands greater cultural and linguistic sensitivity, especially when dealing with culture-specific terms. One translation technique frequently employed in this context is borrowing, which helps preserve cultural authenticity in the target language. In Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective novel A Study in Scarlet, borrowing is particularly significant because the novel introduces cultural, social, and historical elements of 19th-century England, reflected in its distinctive vocabulary and cultural references. The objective of this research is to identify the borrowing technique used in the novel “A Study in Scarlet”, translated into “Penelusuran Benang Merah”. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method to describe the borrowing techniques found in the text. The analysis is based on Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework for translation techniques and Newmark’s (1988) classification of foreign cultural terms into five domains. The findings reveal 70 borrowing instances, comprising 49 pure borrowings and 21 naturalized borrowings, distributed across material culture, social culture, gestures and habits, organizations, and abstract concepts. These results highlight how borrowing functions as a translation strategy that simultaneously preserves cultural authenticity and ensures the readability of the target text.
