Being Posthuman Through Biopolitics in Neal Shustermanâ€™s Unwind Lingga Gumilang; Pratiwi Retnaningdyah
Tell : Teaching of English Language and Literature Journal Vol 10 No 1 (2022): April
Publisher : English Department FKIP Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya Indonesia

This paper explores the concept of posthumanism through biopolitics. Although the goal of biopolitics is to manage the social population, this ideology promotes the oppression of the subject. Shusterman reveals this concept through his novel, Unwind. This novel not only presents the oppression of the subject of the regulation but also shows that the regulation creates a new norm in society that lead them to become posthuman. In other words, the regulation tries to modify humanity into a new form. Using the Foucauldian theory, this paper argues that biopolitics could be a factor for humans to transform into a new type of humanityâ€”posthuman. The result finds that biopolitics in the novel leads to the two types of posthuman; the first is that posthuman emerging human with technology to enhance human being; the second is about reconsideration position of humans. The idea of posthuman might make people resist oppression and embrace other existence as equal beings as humans. This would create better humanity for human beings.

Kataraâ€™s Authenticity in Avatar: The Last Airbender Klarissa Yohanna; Pratiwi Retnaningdyah

Publisher : English Department FKIP Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya Indonesia

Authenticity is an important quality every individual should have as it reflects self-understanding and healthy functioning. However, due to the societal norms, such as gender stereotypes, the idea of being authentic has become a challenge. Oftentimes, when it comes to gender stereotypes, women get the short end of the stickâ€”underestimated, ignored, and sexualized. The uprising feminism movement indeed makes a great impact of how women are viewed, but the media is still lacking of authentic representation of female character who isnâ€™t trying to fit into a certain role. Avatar: The Last Airbender is able to provide that through Katara character despite it being a childrenâ€™s TV series. Using the theory by Kernis and Goldman, this paper explores the four multicomponents of authenticityâ€”awareness, unbiased processing, behaviour, relational orientationâ€”which are all possessed by Katara; furthermore, proving her authenticity. This paper argues that Katara is able to maintain her authenticity by acting in accordance with her internal values, particularly in terms of equality and justice. In so doing, she manages to fight sexism and empower the oppressed.
