Abstract

William Faulkner`s A Rose for Emily is narrated in a complex narrative structure, thus, making it difficult to follow the story`s chronology despite its relatively short form. This article provides a different approach using Propp`s narratology to show that the story can be read as a modern fairy tale but with some twisted elements. The analysis focuses on the sequence of events based on Propp`s 31 narrative functions. The analysis also highlights the characters performing the functions following Propp`s seven types of dramatis personae. The findings reveal that the events in A Rose for Emily conform to some of the narrative functions of a fairy tale. The initial situation introduces Emily as the heroine of the story, followed by her father's death, which represents the absentation function. In the middle of the narrative, the villainy function serves as the complication of the story. The story`s end is also similar to a fairy tale by the wedding function. However, these fairy tale elements are presented in twisted ways. Emily was introduced only when she died, and she poisoned Homer to be able to live with him ever after. Meanwhile, Emily and Homer also provide twists as the story's heroine and villain.

Abstract

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has become a prominent predecessor for abundant adaptations in popular culture. Although the novel was published more than two hundred years ago, numerous writers have made it their most reference and inspiration. This article aims to investigate the traces Frankenstein has left on Jennifer McMahon’s The Children on the Hill under the argument that the former has served as the source for the latter. Therefore, this research belongs to the literary influence study. Drawing the analysis under the compare and contrast method, this study results in some parts of Frankenstein that are recreated in The Children on the Hill. Those parts include the description of the creator’s life, the trigger of the creation, the creation’s process, and its horrible consequences. The result also shows that McMahon’s book presents the recreated parts in a more horrifying way, especially about the details of the experiment and the shocking ending when the monster kidnaps many female adolescents to turn them into monsters like her. This study concludes that a monster does not always come in a hideous appearance like what Victor created. However, the monster can also lie dormant within a human’s personality, which can bring about terrible destruction when it comes out.

Abstract

Music is a fundamental cultural practice that extends beyond entertainment to shape identity, education, and social justice. This narrative review aims to synthesize contemporary scholarship addressing how music functions as a tool for personal and collective identity construction, pedagogical transformation, and sociocultural engagement. A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, employing keywords such as “music education,” “music and identity,” “cultural influence of music,” “critical pedagogy in music,” and “music and social justice.” Inclusion criteria prioritized peer-reviewed studies published in the last two decades that demonstrated methodological transparency and thematic relevance. The results indicate that music significantly influences identity formation, with empirical evidence showing measurable effects on racial and cultural perceptions among youth, while qualitative studies emphasize the role of pedagogies that foster autonomy and social awareness. Comparative studies highlight the universality of music’s identity-shaping role while also underscoring variations across cultural and geographic contexts. Discussion reveals that systemic factors—including inequitable access, exclusionary curricula, and limited representation—pose challenges to realizing music’s full potential. Inclusive pedagogical strategies and policy reforms are identified as promising pathways to address these barriers, though their effectiveness requires further empirical validation. The review concludes that music is both a cultural and educational resource with profound implications for fostering equity and inclusion. Future research should adopt multi-methodological designs, expand to non-Western contexts, and investigate digital influences on music consumption and identity. These directions are essential for advancing music’s role in education and social justice.

Abstract

This article explores the transformation of Javanese modal systems laras, pathet, and garap within contemporary music practices. It investigates how these core concepts, traditionally embedded in the structure and expression of gamelan music, are preserved, adapted, and recontextualized in modern acoustic, electronic, and hybrid compositional environments. Methodologically, the study applies a comparative analytical approach, combining empirical data from tuning measurements and seleh tone mapping with case studies from Rahayu Supanggah, Lou Harrison, and Gamelan Son of Lion. Tuning deviations across gamelan sets are analyzed, highlighting the flexibility of laras and the structural logic of pathet. The study also examines how garap enables interpretive variation in performance and how these modalities are translated into Just Intonation, orchestral writing, and campursari arrangements. Key results show that Javanese modality maintains coherence despite cross cultural adaptations. Modal identity is preserved through behavioral cues, tonal relationships, and ornamentation, even when transposed into Western or electronic idioms. The interaction of structure and flexibility particularly through garap allows Javanese modes to thrive in modern contexts without sacrificing expressive depth or cultural meaning. These findings suggest that Javanese modal systems are highly adaptable, offering a valuable framework for global music composition and intercultural dialogue. The research contributes to both ethnomusicology and composition studies by reframing Javanese modality as a resilient, integrative, and innovative force in 21st century music.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the work of fate in the sense of natural law and its manifestation in leading the life of the heroine in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles. The theoretical framework is the concept of fate and Sartre's Existentialism by applying the concept of free will and personal responsibility. The analysis focuses on any natural events that happen in Tess' life, which eventually become such fate agents in determining Tess' life. The finding says that no matter how fateful her life is, Tess exhibits how much she stands on her own by revealing her own free will and her personal responsibility regarding her reaction towards the fateful events she undergoes.

Abstract

Due to pandemics, students carry out their studies from home. They have more leisure time and are freer to do activities. In such a condition, questioning students’ commitment to reading to learn becomes relevant. The question is whether and to what extent the students do the reading activity, what they read, and whether their preferences are different based on their genders. This topic is inconclusively studied, especially in the context of EFL. Therefore, it seems important to conduct a study on this topic because the results might raise the effectiveness of teaching EFL. This study is a descriptive survey revealing students’ reading preferences to spend their leisure time based on gender differences. The subjects are undergraduate EFL students aged 19–23 years who study at the English Department in Indonesia. The data were collected by a questionnaire consisting of closed and open items. The responses were tallied, calculated, and tabulated. The findings show that female respondents favored reading more than males. Both genders tend to prefer reading social media to spend their leisure time. Female respondents are more likely to read e-books, while male respondents are more into the printed books. They do extensive reading to get knowledge more than to get pleasure. Although they are EFL learners, they prefer reading the sources in their native language because it is more accessible than in the target language. The reasons underlying those findings and pedagogical implications are also described at the end of the article.

Abstract

Usaha Kecil dan Menengah merupakan salah satu sektor terdampak oleh karena pandemi Covid-19 dan penerapan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat atau PPKM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan dampak PPKM terhadap para pedagang nasi bebek di Kecamatan Rungkut, Surabaya dan bagaimana mereka mengoptimalkan perdagangan mereka serta pandangan hukum Islam mengenai optimalisasi tersebut. Peneliti menggunakan penelitian lapangan dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pedagang nasi bebek mengalami penurunan pendapatan hingga lima puluh persen akibat penerapan PPKM. Untuk mengatasi penurunan pendapatan, para pedagang melakukan optimalisasi managemen waktu dan layanan, diantaranya dengan digitalisasi. Sementara itu, dalam pandangan hukum Islam, penerapan PPKM bisa dipandang sebagai aturan yang diterapkan demi kemaslahatan bersama sedangkan optimalisasi yang dilakukan para pedagang nasi bebek merupakan perwujudan menjaga mafsadah yang lebih besar dengan melakukan mafsadah yang lebih kecil.Kata kunci: Covid-19, Dampak Pandemi, PPKM, UMKM.
