Abstract

Entrance into adulthood has often been seen as a phase marked by self-exploration, instability, and struggles to overcome tensions and conflicts. Eleanor & Park (2012) is a novel that explores issues of growing up and tells the story of how the two main characters go through the struggles of their adolescent lives. This study analyzes how Eleanor and Park construct and navigate their subjectivities amidst the various conflicts they face. It does so by, first, identifying and classifying the conflicts the characters encounter and then locating their provisional subject positions that draw on how they react to and deal with the conflicts. While the study confirms the dynamic nature of subject positions, both Eleanor and Park tend to bring to the fore their active subject position in dealing with the conflicts. Moreover, their subject positions further indicate that Eleanor and Park are empowered agents who are capable of deliberating thoughts and actions consciously. In navigating their subjectivities, both characters, in the end, are able to achieve personal growth and empowerment.

Abstract

Among the four English skills, speaking is the most difficult skill for students. Speaking English is the most worries things for students in this lesson. There are many reasons that make students reluctant to speak English, including afraid of being laughed at by their friends and lack of confidence. Since the implementation of learning from home by the central government due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, students have increasingly never practiced speaking English. It worsens the level of students' anxiety about speaking English. Therefore, this qualitative case study research was created to help reduce students' anxiety in speaking English by using Zoom-Storytelling, especially when they are required to learn from home. FLCAS was used to measure the student's anxiety level. The results showed that Zoom-Storytelling can reduce students' level of anxiety in speaking English. Through this Zoom-Storytelling activity students can still learn face-to-face virtually even though they are not in school.

Abstract

Conflict is an inevitable event that always occurs in human life as well in literary works. Okky Madasari’s The Years of the Voiceless shows conflicts that happen to a mother and a daughter who need to fight for women’s rights in the male-dominated world in the post-colonial era in Indonesia. They live based on their faiths and beliefs that are different due to the generational gap. By using the perspective of New Criticism, this study aims to investigate the sources of the conflict between them, how the conflicts are resolved, and how do the conflicts affect their relationship as mother-daughter. The result found that the conflicts that affect the mother-daughter relationship originate from external and internal conflicts. The conflicts are resolved through changes in the daughter’s character. This study proves that the generational gap, society, and characters’ personalities are the main causes of conflict in the mother-daughter relationships.

Abstract

Literature is often considered as a form of human expression and experiences. A topic regarding an individual’s experience through their life, including how they face the world around them can be found in a novel written by Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human (1948). Every individual has two sides of personality which can be referred as the Persona and the Shadow. This study focused on identifying and analysing the Persona and the Shadow of Yozo, the main character of No Longer Human. The study was conducted to answer the research questions of how the Persona and the Shadow are portrayed by the characterization of Oba Yozo from No Longer Human. Using Jung’s theory and structuralism, this study found that Yozo’s Persona and Shadow are two opposite personalities and they grow along with him throughout his childhood to adulthood. However, as he gets older, he goes through individuation crisis where the Shadow in him becomes stronger than his Persona. This study is hoped to give a new insight regarding how an individual has two sides of personality and also how an individual goes through individuation crisis. In addition, this study is expected to raise suicidal awareness which now becomes a growing concern in society.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze trauma in short story "The Black Cat" (1843) by Edgar Allan Poe. Trauma in a way can be described as a recollecting memory of unpleasant events that may harm the mind of the one who suffers it. Studies on trauma in Poe's story are mentioned in Journal The Edgar Allan Poe Review (2019) as part of its further study on Poe's works. To fill the gaps in the research on "The Black Cat", this study aims to analyze the construction of trauma in the story and its effect on the story in narrative form. The data is analyzed using textual analysis trough close reading activity. The data then is interpreted using Caruth’s (1996) model on analyzing trauma in literature. The results show that (1) trauma is suffered through narrator’s attachment with the cat, (2) narrator’s regret of his wrongful violence, (3) through the repeating appearance of the cat, the trauma is reconstructed in the story, and (4) through trauma the character suffer mental deteriorations. The research concludes that trauma patterns based on Caruth's (1996) study appear in the story and it may help further study narrative in trauma study.Keywords: Trauma, Edgar Allan Poe, Cathy Caruth, The Black Cat, Narrative

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate junior high school EFL teachers' perception toward the implementation of genre-based approach as a suggested teaching model of English from 2004 up to the newest curriculum. The design of this research was a descriptive qualitative study. It was clearly proved that teachers considered the GBA as an effective model that aligned with the current student-centered approach in the latest curriculum. Numerous teachers, unfortunately, confessed that they only utilized this model on exceptional cases since it demands students to have a wide range of cognitive skills as well as be passionately committed to learning. The data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with the 15 English teachers of junior high schools in Bandung, Indonesia. The findings showed that some teachers still needed help in implementing the stages of GBA, mostly at the stage of Independent Construction of the Text, due to a lack of teachers' training, resulting in many problems in the process of GBA implementation.

Abstract

Mental health disorders have led to an increase and cause of personality problems and suicidal thoughts. Music, as an art form, often serves as a medium through which artists release their negative thoughts, emotions and experiences. In song lyrics, we can see the manifestation of defense mechanisms used by the speaker. As Cramer (2000) states, a defense mechanism is an attempt as a psychological strategy to reduce or avoid adverse circumstances such as conflict, frustration, anxiety, and stress. This study aims to identify what types of defense mechanisms are used by the speaker contained in the lyrics of five Twenty One Pilots songs in the album Vessel (2013) titled “Ode To Sleep”, “Migraine”, “Car Radio”, “Guns for Hands” and “Holding On To You”. This research used a qualitative method with the theoretical framework of defense mechanisms by Freud (1936/2018) and Cramer (2015). It was found that several types and the level stages of defense mechanisms used by the speaker in the five songs of Twenty One Pilots album Vessel (2013) are as follows: Neurotic defenses: displacement (2), Immature defenses: projection (1), and Mature defenses: suppression (5), altruism (5), sublimation (1), and intellectualization (1). This research provides new insights to readers about the main theme of the album Vessel (2013) and the types of defense mechanisms used by the speaker from Twenty One Pilots. This research also confirms that music can be used as a medium to channel negative feelings and anxiety experienced by songwriters as their defense mechanism.

Abstract

Grief is a common theme in literary works, including film. While ample studies have been done to analyze stages of grief in films, these studies did not consider the role of film techniques in the portrayal of this theme. Therefore, this paper will explore how stages of grief are portrayed through the mise-en-scene and cinematography in Hideaki Anno’s Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time (2021). Kübler-Ross’s (1969) model of stages of grief consisting of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance is used. In this movie, there are two grieving characters, namely Shinji Ikari, the main character of the movie, and Gendo Ikari who is the main antagonist of the story and Shinji’s father. Anger, depression, and acceptance are three of the five stages of grief that Shinji Ikari goes through. On the other hand, Gendo Ikari goes through the other two stages: bargaining and denial. The findings show how mise-en-scene and cinematography components, particularly shots and angles, help the filmmakers convey the emotional development of characters in coping with their grief. This study highlights that analyzing grief in films should go beyond narrative by examining how mise-en-scène and cinematography visually express characters’ emotional journeys, demonstrating that film techniques are essential in conveying the stages of grief. It suggests that a holistic approach, integrating both literary and cinematic analysis, offers deeper insight into how grief is portrayed and experienced in film.

Abstract

One of a film’s characteristics is raising awareness about a particular social phenomenon. In Last Night in Soho, Director Edgar Wright (2021) constructed a phenomenon of power relations from the perspective of an aspiring singer in the 1960s. The present study aims to reveal how power relations among the main characters in Last Night in Soho are constructed. Employing a qualitative approach with textual analysis and film theory from Bordwell and Thompson (2012) and within the theoretical framework of Foucault’s (1975/2019) power relations and Noggle’s (1996) manipulation, the study found that the power relations between the main characters, Sandie and Jack, who are involved in a romantic relationship, are manifested through several power instruments, namely: manipulation, domination, and resistance. These power relations affect the physical and psychological aspects of the subject of power, even having a traumatic effect. Thus, the study reinforces Foucault’s premise that power is everywhere and circulated in any discourse, including romantic discourse. Furthermore, the study highlights the vulnerability of aspiring artists and shows how ‘authoritative’ individuals in the entertainment industry can manipulate artists’ dreams and ambitions.  By manipulating a romantic relationship, they exploit the artists' naïve determination and coerce them to engage in lowly activities under the guise of career advancement.
