Abstract

Fantasy is a literary genre that can provide a platform for marginalized voices to subvert dominant cultural norms and often address larger, sensitive, and complex societal issues. Thus, making queer authors utilize this genre of writing to explore and represent diverse identities and experiences. This study dives into the profound fantastical world of TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea to uncover its depiction of magical characters as representation of real-world gender nonconformity. Drawing upon the foundational theories of queer theory, particularly Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, this research study scrutinizes how the novel subverts and challenges the prevalent paradigm of heteronormativity. This research employed the method of qualitative data analysis to obtain precise data. The findings reveal that the depiction of the three magical children in The House in the Cerulean Sea, Talia, Chauncey, and Theodore, embodies the concept of gender nonconformity in the real world. Ultimately, this research highlights the whimsical narrative of The House in the Cerulean Sea that serves as a platform to explore and affirm the complexities of gender beyond binary norms, advocating for a world where all identities are embraced and celebrated.

Abstract

Black Swan (2010) is a psychological horror movie that explores themes of ambition, perfectionism, and the psychological toll of obsession in the competitive world of professional ballet. The movie delves into Nina's descent into madness as she strives for artistic perfection, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination. The aim achieved in this analysis includes examining how psychological stress manifests itself, how high-pressure artistic circumstances can distort reality, and how these factors influence the protagonist's spiral toward mental instability. This is qualitative-descriptive research. The researchers follow a four-step process involving data identification, classification, analysis, and concluding. The main data collection comes from Black Swan (2010), focusing on scenes when Nina Sayers experiences mental breakdowns. The researchers collected data from the film itself and several journals, focusing on Nina's mental disorders and applying Freudian concepts to analyze her behavior and personality. The research results show that obsession and strong demands for perfection from herself and others have disturbed Nina's mental instability in Black Swan (2010).

Abstract

This article examines Paru Itagaki’s manga series Beastars through     Bhabha’s (1994) postcolonial perspective. Utilizing Bhabha’s (1994) concepts of hybridity, ambivalence, mimicry, and the Third Space of Enunciation, the study analyses the narrative and its visual elements. Close readings of panel composition, character archetypes, and visual reversals show how Beastars exposes the fragility of species-based cultural classifications and the psychic disorientation that follows when familiar categories collapse. The series initially presents carnivores and herbivores as two opposing groups, then unsettles this division through the actions of Louis and Legoshi. Louis, an herbivore who adopts carnivore-like authority, and Legoshi, a carnivore who uses his strength to protect herbivores, disrupt the meanings attached to their species. Both characters expose these boundaries as constructed categories that remain open to continual revision. Through them, Beastars shows how identity can emerge from unstable positions between established categories. The study argues that Beastars critiques species-based essentialism while illustrating the productive function of the Third Space, suggesting that cultural transformation arises through the hybrid subject’s ability to unsettle authority and create new ways of being. Beastars thus presents Bhabha’s (1994) ever-hybrid “international culture” as a site of ongoing negotiation rather than fixed identity.

Abstract

The Dante Club is an American historical fiction written by Matthew Pearl. The story takes place in the state of Massachusetts during the aftermath of the American Civil War. The two major issues presented in the novel are xenophobia and anti-Catholicism. Specifically, it tells about a controversy over the Italian literary work, “Divine Comedy”, which is being translated into English by a group of notable poets named Dante Club. Their endeavor is considered as promoting Catholicism which is subjectively interpreted as an act of threatening the state. Based on Louis Althusser’s theoretical perspective, the work of the state authorities to hinder the group’s effort is seen as the manifestation of ideological practice. The theory points out that such an interference may commonly be found to be performed by two types of powerful institution, namely Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs) and Repressive State Apparatuses (RSAs).This study discusses the practice of state ideology which is intended to maintain the state power as described in the novel. The focus is on answering the question of how ISAs and RSAs are authorized to exert their role to control people as well as to influence them on behalf of the state.
