Abstract

While media portrayals of autism have been widely studied, limited research has examined how the agency of non-speaking autistic individuals is constructed through multimodal storytelling and mediated communication. This study examines how nonverbal autistic agency is portrayed in the Netflix documentary "Makayla’s Voice: A Letter to the World." Grounded in multimodal literacy theory, the study employs qualitative methods and thematic analysis to examine how the film frames Makayla’s communication and self-representation across text, audio, and visual modes. The analysis also draws on agency theory to examine how autistic agency is represented, and it applies the social model of disability to explore how the film challenges or reinforces societal discriminatory attitudes toward autism. Findings reveal a complex portrayal: the film affirms Makayla’s agency through poetic narration, metaphor, and visual imagery, yet simultaneously mediates her voice through facilitator involvement and selective editing. These strategies contribute to a process of narrative idealization, in which a story is smoothed over to enhance a character’s positive qualities. The study contributes to critical literacy by demonstrating how media can both empower and constrain the voices of non-speaking autistic individuals. It also calls for more nuanced and ethically grounded representations that recognize diverse communicative practices and multimodal literacies.

Abstract

Abstract: This research explores the portrayal of dissociative amnesia and the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego in the character of Elly Conway in the film Argylle using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The study aims to describe how dissociative amnesia is depicted in Elly's character and to analyze the development of her personality in terms of Freud's structural model of the psyche. This study applies the qualitative descriptive analysis method. The findings indicate that Elly Conway suffers from dissociative amnesia, characterized by memory loss and disconnection from her past, resulting from the repression of traumatic memories. The study also reveals the evolving dynamics between the id, ego, and superego in Elly's personality. Initially dominated by her superego, Elly faces significant internal conflicts as repressed id impulses emerge. However, as the story progresses, her ego begins to dominate, allowing her to mediate between the desires of the id and the moral constraints of the superego. This research contributes to the understanding of character development in film, particularly in characters with dissociative disorders, through the lens of psychoanalytic theory.
