Abstract

As a land of immigrants, America is expected to provide an environment free of discrimination. However, many literary works highlight the struggles faced by Mexican immigrants, including The Circuit by Francisco Jiménez, which depicts the challenges experienced by Mexican-American families. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research design to examine the Mexican-American identity after crossing the border through Gloria Anzaldúa's (1987) Borderlands theory. The data in this study are in the form of sentences. The data was taken from The Circuit as the primary data source. The findings reveal Panchito's hybrid identity, negotiated between his Mexican heritage and the realities of life in America. Despite facing language barriers and discrimination challenges, Panchito maintains a connection to his cultural roots. This study offers a new perspective on identity negotiations in the borderlands by using The Circuit as a primary data source, which contributes to a deeper understanding of the Mexican-American immigrant experience

Abstract

Following the Civil War, the funeral industry in the United States excluded women from the job of taking care of the deceased. But in the last 10 years, women have taken their place in the funeral industry again. This can be seen from the data recently that shows that 65% of funeral director program graduates are women. The role of women in the funeral industry can also be seen in one of the reality series on Netflix, Buried by the Bernards. Therefore, this research aims to analyze how the role of women in the funeral industry is represented in Buried by the Bernards. The series portrays the Bernards funeral home, managed by the Bernards family members. Three of whom are women, including Deja, Reagan, and Debbie. To answer the research question, the researcher used Hall’s representation theory. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with primary data from the Buried by the Bernards Netflix reality series, and secondary data from books, theses, journals, articles, and online sources. The results of this research show that the American traditional belief that women are unable to work in funeral homes is not true. Based on Buried by the Bernards, women are portrayed as taking an important part in the funeral industry and their status as women does not prevent them from working in the funeral industry. Thus, researcher conclude that women can once again prove that they are equal and their abilities are not inferior to men, even in the funeral industry.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the travel novel Indonesia dari Pinggir by Fatris MF that tries to convey to the world the charm of people, culture, and regions in the Eastern part of Indonesia. However, at the same time, the author presents contradictory narratives, irony, negotiation, and efforts to accommodate the voice of the East to be in dialogue and even contrasted with the West. Therefore, the researcher conducted an academic exploration of the author's ambivalent position, simultaneously resisting and perpetuating the colonial discourse. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The data in this research were taken from the novel Indonesia dari Pinggir by Fatris MF, consisting of words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and dialog between characters related to the research problem. Using Carl Thompson's concept of travel writing, the researcher found that the strategies of reporting the world and representing the other in this novel reveal the eastern Indonesian people who are often described as "the other" through exotic, primitive, and inferior. A narrative of revealing the self emphasizes the author's personal experience as a critical analysis in revealing the dynamics of the representation of eastern Indonesia in travel narratives.Keywords: colonial discourse, contradictory relation, deviation strategy, Indonesia dari Pinggir, travel literature
