Abstract

The animated movie Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004) shows a conflict between characters who demonstrate inappropriate behaviour and are contrary to social norms. The article aims to demystify the representation of several social pathology acts and the impact of these actions using a qualitative method through a Sociology of Literature approach by Alan Swingewood. Furthermore, this article also employs a cinematography theory approach (mise-en-scene) to identify elements of social pathology based on camera movements, character expressions, costumes, and location settings in the movie. The article finds several forms of social pathologies, such as theft, extortion, animal abuse, and abduction, which lead to the kingdom’s bankruptcy, the mistreatment of animals, restrictions on rights, and anxiety among the families of those affected. It can be concluded that the animated movie provides an overview of social pathology forms using the sociology of literature theory, making it suitable for education and self-awareness among a wider audience about real-life criminality.

Abstract

This research explores the representation of feminist themes in Chetan Bhagat’s novel One Indian Girl, focusing on the character of Radhika Mehta. Through the lens of Betty Friedan’s liberal feminist theory, the study examines how Radhika embodies feminist ideals by challenging traditional gender roles, pursuing a successful career, and asserting her autonomy. The analysis highlights Radhika’s struggle against societal expectations, her commitment to achieving professional success, and her quest for financial independence. The findings demonstrate that Radhika’s character is a powerful example of feminist empowerment, serving as an inspiration for women to pursue their ambitions and challenge patriarchal norms. This study underscores the importance of education, gender equality, and personal freedom in achieving true feminist empowerment.

Abstract

Desa Silado merupakan desa yang prospektif untuk pengembangan pariwisata karena letaknya yang strategis, sumber daya manusia yang memadai, dan aspek sosial budaya. Faktor-faktor ini sangat penting namun membutuhkan investasi besar, terutama dari sisi pendanaan. Desa tidak dapat mengalokasikan bantuan dana tersebut, yang pada akhirnya menghambat kemajuannya. Oleh karena itu, tim memanfaatkan kesempatan ini untuk memecahkan masalah dengan memfasilitasi warga desa melalui kegiatan diskusi kelompok yang bertujuan untuk menggali, mendiskusikan, mengklasifikasikan, dan mempromosikan potensi wisata melalui situs web. Penduduk desa yang terlibat dalam program ini adalah 16 anggota Kelompok Sadar Wisata Silado. Program berlangsung selama enam bulan dan terbagi dalam tiga kegiatan utama: (1) presentasi oleh tim pelaksana tentang pentingnya pengembangan desa wisata dan branding serta promosi desa wisata di era globalisasi; (2) diskusi kelompok untuk mendapatkan dan mengklasifikasikan data sumber daya pariwisata Silado; dan (3) desain web oleh tim pelaksana sebagai media promosi pariwisata. Hasil program menunjukkan bahwa Desa Silaso ternyata memiliki tiga objek wisata yang menjanjikan: alam, budaya, dan pendidikan. Di sisi lain, perancangan website diusulkan untuk mempromosikan keunikan dan elemen ikonik Silado sebagai desa wisata. Pengunjung website dapat dengan mudah menemukan elemen ini pada logo dan tagline desa wisata Silado yang bertuliskan "Tilik Dewi Domas: Desa Wisata Silado Banyumas". Tagline ini terutama bertujuan untuk mengajak pengunjung melihat, menjelajah, dan menikmati destinasi wisata di Silado.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the intersection of war, trauma, and feminist consciousness in Zoulfa Katouh’s As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow (2022). Katouh is a Syrian-Canadian novelist who is concerned about empowering female victims of their war trauma The demonstration of the dynamic circumstances that suppress and challenge the protagonist, Salama, to navigate her gendered experiences during the Syrian civil war, makes the current study as intersectional study. Intersectionality is a common term that connects the involvement of race, gender, class, and sexuality, which complicates an individual’s experiences in certain situations. Using Hooks’ intersectional feminism and Herman’s feminist trauma theory, the analysis reveals how Salama’s suffering and resilience during the war may create a feminist consciousness that challenges both patriarchal oppression and Western misconceptions about Middle Eastern women. Using a qualitative textual analysis, this study selects and examines primary data from the novel to unfold the intersectionality. Key narrative moments were primarily gathered to uncover how Salama’s trauma differs from that of her male counterparts due to the gendered burdens she bears. The study ultimately shows that her experiences of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and hallucinations are mainly intertwined with societal expectations and moral responsibilities. This situates her in a dual role, as a caregiver and a freedom fighter, intensifying her psychological and social struggles. Despite this burden, Salama’s resistance to oppression and her active role in advocating for freedom, especially for women, may be considered as subversion against the dominant Western narratives that often regard Arab women as passive or voiceless. Her journey particularly exemplifies the transformative power of trauma, portraying that survival and resistance against the oppressive war are essentially feminist acts. Katouh's novel thus offers a fresh perspective on feminist resistance within the context of war, showing how trauma can catalyze empowerment and social change while also revealing that Salama’s exceptional survival cannot represent the many women whose suffering remains unheard and demands a more inclusive feminist response. This research contributes to broader discussions on gendered trauma in conflict zones and encourages further interdisciplinary and comparative studies to explore unexplored themes that may expose urgent humanitarian concerns affecting women in war-torn regions.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of female subjectivity, freedom, and agency in Anora (2024) through the lens of Sartre’s existentialism and Beauvoir’s existential feminism. It examines how Ani negotiates her existential autonomy by resisting patriarchal constructions that position her as “the Other.” Employing a qualitative descriptive approach based on dialogue transcripts, repeated viewing, and close analysis of key interactions, the data were selected according to thematic relevance to radical freedom, authenticity, and objectification. The findings show that Ani affirms herself as a responsible and choosing subject while resisting gendered labels and social objectification through her speech and actions. Her refusal to accept a subordinate identity and her insistence on the legitimacy of her marriage illustrate an existential struggle against imposed roles within patriarchal kinship structures. Rather than depicting liberation as triumphant, the film portrays women’s freedom as situated, relational, and constrained by class and institutional power. This study demonstrates that philosophical frameworks are essential for understanding how contemporary cinema visualizes feminine identity, agency, and the limits of existential freedom within oppressive social systems.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of irony in Roald Dahl’s short story The Umbrella Man using Wayne C. Booth’s theory of irony. The study aims to examine how stable and unstable irony function as narrative strategies to construct meaning and moral criticism in the story. Employing a qualitative descriptive method and close reading, the analysis focuses on narrative events, character behavior, and dialogue that reveal ironic contrasts between appearance and reality. The findings indicate that the story predominantly employs stable irony to guide readers toward a clear moral judgment, particularly through the umbrella man’s deceptive politeness and apparent helplessness. Although the narrative presents moments of moral ambiguity, these elements do not destabilize meaning but instead reinforce the satirical critique of misplaced trust and social vulnerability. The study concludes that irony in The Umbrella Man operates as a rhetorical device that shapes reader interpretation and delivers social criticism within a seemingly simple narrative.
