Abstract

Environmental crisis is one of the major issues that humankind is facing today. The crisis can be discussed through a Christian perspective, as the relationship between Christianity and environment has been long discussed for its complexities. Eco-theology is one of the ways for Christianity to bridge its teaching to the environmental crisis. First Reformed, a 2017 film directed by Paul Schrader, is one of the films depicting the interplay between Christianity and environmentalism. This paper examines how First Reformed portrays the process of reconciling Christianity and environmentalism. Using Jürgen Moltmann’s eco-theological concept and Kierkegaard’s concept of despair, this article discovers that while First Reformed demonstrates the ways Christianity could be both an ally and an enemy of environmentalism, the film’s final message leans more towards the way the church can respond to the crisis through embracing insights and values beyond Christianity’s core doctrine that are more in line with environmental concerns, such as seeing nature as a female figure and the idea of harmony illustrated through a yin-yang symbolism.

Abstract

The integration of the personal and the political has been an engaging topic in analyses of literary texts by authors whose works are known for their political content and activism, as well as an emphasis on social justice. Literary audiences in the United States have been familiar with Joy Harjo and John Trudell, two well-known contemporary Indigenous poets, who have voiced out the concerns of Indigenous people in the face of colonization and injustice happening in their homeland. Within the fusion of the personal and the political, as well as the mythical, the idea of transformation is paramount for Indigenous authors since to move from the state of being colonized to one of being decolonized, transformation is undoubtedly crucial. This paper focuses on the role of memory and the power of language in the process of transformation in the three poems by Joy Harjo and John Trudell. The analysis uses a qualitative methodology in the form of a close reading of literary texts to uncover the interconnectedness of memory and language in transformation. I argue that Native poets experience personal transformation that is critically influenced by the role of ancestral memory and social and historical consciousness in the broader context of Indigenous people’s struggle and resistance, as well as the power of language to see reality differently and affect its change. The analysis is intended to show to what extent the concepts of memory and language are critical in the process of decolonization and the manners in which these texts can be empowering for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences in response to forms of injustice through the integration of the personal, the political, and the mythical.

Abstract

In the post-industrialization era, spirituality has gone through many shifts. Specifically, perceptions of spirituality have changed for the worst after 9/11, which inspired several movies in portraying spirituality within the society in science fiction movies. Children of Men (2006) is one of science fiction movies that portray biblical apocalyptic narratives in which spirituality is a crucial element in the movie, indicating how influential spirituality is in popular culture. This research paper aims to analyze how modern spirituality is represented through the shift from Weber's concept of disenchantment to Jenkin's concept of re-enchantment, examining how it affects oneself in the biblical apocalyptic narrative. The representation is analyzed by focusing on a huge alteration that resulted from the attack of 9/11, which affects how the disenchanted society in the movie deals with the gloom of apocalypse. These responses lead to re-enchantment as the movie incorporates biblical allegories that represent hope for tomorrow, which is fundamental teaching for most religions.

Abstract

This paper is a small part of my thesis aiming to investigate the translation strategies applied by a translator in translating the taboo word “sh*t”. Taboo words are one of the language featuresrequiring a careful analysis as their message is generally different from their literal meaning. This isa descriptive translation study (DTS) using a book entitled “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”(2016) as ST and its Indonesia translation as TT. The data selected were the taboo word “sh*t” andits derivation (shit/shitty/bullshit/bullshitty/shithead/shitheap/ batshit/shit-ton). The data wereanalyzed qualitatively by grouping them based on their functions. Then, ST and TT were compared toexamine the translation strategies applied by the translator. The theory used was McEnery (2006) toexplore the taboo word functions and that of Newmark (1988), Baker (2011) and Davoodi (2009) to examine the translation strategies. The results show that the word “sh*t” functions as a predicative negative adjective, emphatic intensifier, idioms, literal, imagery, and pronominal form. The strategiesmostly applied in a predicative negative adjective, emphatic intensifier, idioms, imagery, andpronominal functions is the paraphrase strategy. Meanwhile, the strategies applied in the literalfunction are omission and taboo to taboo. This research reveals that the translator attempted to avoidthe occurrence of the taboo word “sh*t” and its derivation in his translation by mostly applying theparaphrase strategy. Future research is suggested to explore the translator’s motives behind thestrategy selection.Keywords: taboo word sh*t, taboo word function, translation strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of the human-nature relationship in the Jungle (2017) movie. Jungle movie presents the mindset and behavior of men through four male characters (Yossi, Marcus, Kevin, and Karl) towards the wild (wilderness) as a masculinity framework. Using a qualitative method with an ecocriticism approach, especially related to ecological masculinity by Hultman and Pulé, this study shows how the construction of human-nature relationships through masculinity framework presents ecological masculinity as a form of hegemonic masculinity negotiation. The analysis focuses on two aspects of film studies: narrative and cinematographic by Bogss and Petrie. The results of this study indicate that in the depiction of nature through the Amazon Forest, nature is positioned as something dangerous, wild, scary, and capable of killing humans. Therefore, nature is represented as an entity that dominates humans. However, men's mindset and behavior towards nature present the illusion of a human versus nature dichotomy; in this case, the Jungle movie tries to present a critique of anthropocentrism. In addition, the mindset and behavior of male characters toward nature represent male masculinity models, especially ecological masculinity, as an alternative to hegemonic masculinity.

Abstract

Identity shows one's identification in a social context, but in fact social conditions still tend to require citizens to identify themselves based on skin color and sexuality that has been determined and deemed appropriate. Such conditions are seen as homogenizing behavior. The Vanishing Half (2020) establishes the identity of its characters as a rejection of the homogeneity of skin color and sexuality in America. The rejection is reflected in the identity construction of the characters in The Vanishing Half (2020) which features mulatto people to show that skin color identities are not only black or white but can vary widely, and presents transsexual characters to show that a person's sexual identity is not just limited to naturally men and women. The identity construction of the characters is carried out to redefine the concept of identity in a fluid social society. Identity re-conception is carried out as an effort to build awareness of the concept of identity which is fluid, layered, changeable and diverse, so it is necessary to carry out legal protection of identity.

Abstract

The main character of the film Pintu terlarang (The forbidden door), Gambir, attains success in the art world by making statues of pregnant women. Part of his creative process is to insert dead foetuses into the wombs of the statues. His troubled soul meets a written request for help by a child he encounters in various places. The journey to find the child leads him to a secret door, revealing a terrifying reality of a dehumanized world. The city, commonly characterized by a sense of vastness, is set in opposition to small, enclosed spaces where individuals converse with their utmost self. The questions explored are: What is the role of space in engendering urban dystopia? In what ways does the selection of different space settings help create a dehumanized world? I argue that urban dystopia is created when the inhabitants of a city return to enclosed spaces in an effort to find an existence. When individuals prefer enclosed spaces and fail to reconstruct existing meanings, tendencies toward dystopia will come forward and city life will degenerate.

Abstract

Place has certain connotations that are involved in shaping the identity of an individual or a community. Due to the importance of place or location in identity formation, Cultural Studies has its own area of analysis focusing on the understanding of place, which is cultural geography. Peter Jackson (1989: 23, quoted by Giles and Middleton 1999: 104) defines cultural geography as a study on how cultures are constituted by social practises occurring in certain contexts which are influenced by historical and geographical factors. The discussion of artistic works centred on the role of place in identity formation becomes an interesting analysis. This research focuses on Rudi Soejarwo's film Mendadak Dangdut ('Suddenly Dangdut'). The film's setting is a densely populated district in Jakarta. As the plot centres around this setting, an analysis of how place influences the identity formation of the film's main character becomes significant. The research is made using approaches in cultural geography, along with two key concepts in Cultural Studies, which are identity and representation. It is aimed at finding a new consciousness as to how urban context, especially that related to an understanding of place, takes part in the formation of identity of individuals and communities.

Abstract

The marginalization of particular groups or people as a result of the idea that one group or person is better than another is known as the "othering" process. This article discusses how a film adaptation of Dee Alexander Brown’s book on Native American history, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (BMHWK) performs this act of othering. First of all, it is done by negatively portraying the heroic figure in the book. Sitting Bull, a Teton Dakota Chief who united the Sioux tribes in North America, the Great Plains, in mid 19th century is reduced in the film into a weak figure. The Native American chief is overshadowed by White figures like Elaine Goodale and Senator Henry Dawes. In the film adaptation, the social hierarchy-building process, which put the Whites on top, educated natives in the middle, and the rest of Native American population in the bottom, serves as a vehicle for a further process of othering. The film represents Native Americans as people who need to be governed and who can only survive if they abide by White people's laws.

Abstract

There is no doubt that young adult dystopian novels are popular among their audience. Young adult dystopian novels offer readers a fictional medium to reimagine societal values, including, but not limited to, gender. In the 2010s, titles such as The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Legend rose to fame as they amassed millions of readers, further strengthening the genre’s popularity and influence among young adults. This article will specifically analyze the Legend (2011) trilogy by Marie Lu, a series of dystopian novels set in the post-apocalyptic United States. Using concepts of gender binary opposition and possibilities-potentialities, this article aims to uncover the trilogy’s attempt at reconstructing gender identity by presenting non-traditional roles in its story, notably in its depiction of the main character and supporting characters. The article will identify gendered representations within the trilogy, analyze whether the representations are consistent throughout the story, and study its underlying message concerning values present in the real world. Based on the analysis, this article found that the Legend trilogy tend to reproduce existing realities that already exist in the real world. However, it still offers a layered, non-traditional representation of both masculine and feminine gender identity through its characters. AbstrakTidak ada keraguan bahwa novel distopia dewasa muda (young adult) merupakan novel yang populer di kalangan pembacanya. Novel distopia dewasa muda memberikan pembaca medium fiksi untuk membayangkan ulang nilai-nilai sosial, termasuk juga, namun tidak terbatas pada, gender. Pada tahun 2010-an, judul-judul seperti The Hunger Games, Divergent, dan Legend naik daun karena mereka mengumpulkan jutaan pembaca, yang memperkuat popularitas dan pengaruh genre tersebut di kalangan para dewasa muda. Artikel ini akan secara khusus menganalisis trilogi Legend (2011) karya Marie Lu, serangkaian novel distopia yang berlatar belakang di Amerika Serikat pasca-apokaliptik. Dengan menggunakan konsep oposisi biner gender dan potensi-kemungkinan, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap upaya trilogi ini dalam merekonstruksi identitas gender dengan menyajikan peran-peran non-tradisional dalam ceritanya, terutama dalam penggambaran karakter utama dan karakter pendukung. Artikel ini akan mengidentifikasi representasi gender dalam trilogi, menganalisis apakah representasi tersebut konsisten sepanjang cerita, dan mempelajari pesan tersembunyi terkait nilai-nilai yang ada dalam dunia nyata. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, artikel ini menemukan bahwa trilogi Legend cenderung mereproduksi realitas yang sudah ada di dunia nyata. Namun, artikel ini masih menawarkan representasi identitas gender maskulin dan feminin yang kompleks melalui karakter-karakternya.
