Abstract

This study examines how gendered power struggles are represented through the female protagonists of Fair Play (2023) and Radioactive (2019). Both narratives center on Emily and Marie Curie who navigate male-dominated professional environments shaped by patriarchal norms and institutional hierarchies. The purpose of this comparative study is to deepen feminist readings of contemporary and historical female figures while fostering critically empathetic engagement with visual narratives. The research utilizes a comparative critical analysis framework, drawing on the theories of Judith Butler, Michelle M. Lazar, and bell hooks to explore how institutionalized misogyny, emotional labor, and resistance are constructed on screen. The findings reveal that both protagonists experience layered forms of marginalization, including workplace bias, emotional burden, and social surveillance. Yet, each asserts agency, Emily through reclaiming her dignity in the corporate world, and Marie Curie through intellectual defiance in academia. This study contributes to feminist film criticism by highlighting the emotional cost of women’s survival within gendered structures and underscoring the need for more intersectional and humanized portrayals of female agency in media.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify and interpret signs of Chinese culture as manifested in the character of Jessica Huang. This study utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through a comprehensive analysis of all 13 episodes from the first season of the series. Using Fiske’s three-level semiotic framework, reality, representation, and ideology, the study examines how cultural signs are encoded through Jessica’s actions, language, clothing, and behavioral traits. Specific attention is given to cultural elements such as traditional utensils, attire, rituals, beliefs, linguistic features, communication styles, and frugality, as portrayed in the episodes. Findings indicate that Jessica Huang embodies both authentic cultural expressions and recurring stereotypes, contributing to a complex portrayal of Chinese culture in the American media landscape. The study underscores the role of television in constructing cultural meaning and demonstrates the value of semiotic analysis in unpacking the layered representations within popular media texts.

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

The history of America cannot be separated from squatting. When European people came to the eastern coast of America in 1600s, they had lived in the settlement that did not belong to them.  They did not stop living in the settlement, rather, they kept moving to the West to look for better life.  The discovery of gold in California made them move to the West although they underwent difficulties along their journey.  This study attempts to explore squatting in American culture in James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Prairie.  This research uses Cultural Studies method, in which literary, historical and sociological approaches are combined to analyse a certain phenomenon on a text.  History and sociology are used in the research because they complement the existing sources in the literature.  The data are mainly taken from James Fenimore Copper’s novel, namely, The Prairie.  The novel is used in the research as starting points to describe squatting, and then the development of it can be described in American Culture.  Other data are taken from film, magazines, newspapers and historical and sociological articles, as well as articles from American Studies Journal.  Based on the research, squatting emerges because the squatters do not have enough money to buy or to rent the land for their settlement.  Besides, the squatters usually assume that the land that belongs to Indians can be occupied or owned without having to pay it.

Abstract

This study presents a Jungian reading of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, focusing on the Mariner’s psychological transformation through the lens of individuation. Using close reading as the primary method, the analysis explores how the Mariner’s self-states align with Carl Jung’s key archetypes—such as the ego, shadow, anima, and Self—each representing different stages of the individuation process. The Mariner's journey from guilt and alienation, symbolized by the killing of the albatross, to spiritual reconciliation, as reflected in his blessing of the water snakes, mirrors Jung’s theory of integrating unconscious elements into consciousness. This interpretation provides a deeper understanding of the Mariner’s inner conflict and eventual self-realization, while also highlighting the value of applying Jungian psychology to literary analysis. The study underscores how symbolic journeys in literature can mirror the complex process of psychological individuation and self-discovery

Abstract

This study aims to increase mutual cooperation and student learning achievement through the TGT model assisted by traditional game media in Indonesian language learning among 4th graders. Conducted in three cyclesin which each consisted of two meetings, the research includes 23 students. Data were collected using observation sheets, evaluation sheets, questionnaires, and documentation. The results of this study showed a gradual increase in the attitude of mutual cooperation and student learning achievement. In the first cycle, the attitude of mutual cooperation reached a level of completeness of 55.08% (good enough), and in the second cycle with a completeness of 68.04% (good), and in the third cycle with a completeness of 79.69% (good). Similarly, learning achievement resulted in an average score of 64.9 with a completeness rate of 47.82% (poor), and in the second cycle the average score was 75.8 with a completeness rate of 67.38% (good), and in the third cycle the average score was 80.8 with a completeness rate of 82.60% (very good). The study shows that TGT model assisted by traditional games has a positive impact on students' mutual cooperation attitude.
