Abstract

Globalization has made migration a social phenomenon, with many people treating it as a life option without realizing the consequences. As a reflection of life, literature, especially migrant literature, can serve as a valuable source for studying this phenomenon. Salman Rushdie, a writer of migrant literature, raises the topic of migration in his work In the South. This study aims to examine how migration produces hybridity, liminality, and identity instability in the characters of the story. This study uses qualitative textual analysis of a literary work using Bhabha’s postcolonial theory of hybridity in analyzing the data. The study's results reveal that the characters in the story exist in an in-between space where identities are fluid, unstable, and continually reconstructed through cultural blending in new environments. The cultural blending that occurs during the migration process causes several impacts on the identities of these characters, all of which lead to the formation of a new identity. The hybrid characters in the story emerge as a source of tension, highlighting the complexities of migrant experience.

Abstract

This study aims to compare two works in different mediums: a novel titled Little Women, authored by Louisa May Alcott in 1868, and its film adaptation of the same title, directed by Greta Gerwig in 2019. This study explores how Greta Gerwig transformed gender roles and femininity in Little Women’s novel into a film version. This study employs the fidelity theory offered by James M. Welsh and the adaptation theory proposed by Linda Hutcheon. Qualitative analysis and library research are used as research methods in this study. The results revealed that the gender roles in the film adaptation had been portrayed with some changes, to focus more on their struggles to obtain their dreams and less romantic portrayal. The writers argue that femininity in the novel is depicted with a more modern sense of femininity and more aligned with modern feminist ideas.

Abstract

This study examines Racial Identity, Denial, Repression and Resilience in Danzy Senna's Caucasia. This research identifies how the author depicts Birdie's racial identity development, defense mechanisms, and resilience in responding to social expectations. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, applying Sigmund Freud's "Model of Psyche" and defense mechanisms (Denial and Repression), as well as Emmy Werner's resilience theory, which encompasses three stages: trauma identification, adaptive analysis, and positive transformation. Data are collected from the novel and relevant literature. The results show that Birdie's racial identity develops through internal conflict, balancing id, ego, and superego. Trauma and social pressures affect her resilience development, which is rooted in the dissonance between her authentic self and societal expectations. The study demonstrates how Birdie employs defense mechanisms to cope with racial identity and social expectations. Her journey reflects the psychological struggle of biracial individuals seeking acceptance in racially divided societies.
