Abstract

This study explores the psychological dimensions of antagonism in James Patterson’s novel Fear No Evil, focusing on the construction of the antagonist Matthew Butler as a psychopath. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and drawing upon Robert Hare’s Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), the analysis identifies how Butler exhibits core psychopathic traits such as lack of empathy, manipulativeness, impulsivity, and emotional shallowness. Data were collected through close reading and textual analysis, emphasizing the antagonist’s actions, dialogue, and interactions with other characters. The findings reveal that Butler’s characterization is deeply rooted in psychopathic tendencies that serve not only as a narrative device but also as a reflection of broader psychological realities in crime fiction. By integrating psychological theory with literary analysis, this research contributes to the field of literary psychology, offering insights into how contemporary thrillers represent mental disorders and how antagonistic characters function to intensify narrative conflict. The study further underscores the significance of interdisciplinary approaches in understanding the intersection of literature, psychology, and criminology, particularly in examining how fictional psychopaths are constructed in popular culture.

Abstract

Food plays a pivotal role in the construction of cultural identity and the preservation of intangible heritage across societies. This study explores the symbolic meanings embedded in the Nasi Hadap-Hadapan tradition, a central element in Malay wedding rituals in Tanjung Balai, North Sumatra. The practice of Nasi Hadap-Hadapan—a ceremonial meal shared by the bride, groom, and their families—represents not only a social gathering but also a transmission of philosophical values and cultural wisdom. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews with cultural practitioners, community elders, and government officials, complemented by participant observation. The findings reveal that each component of the food—such as rice, ayam masak bulat (whole chicken), assorted cakes, sweets, and vegetables—carries symbolic meanings that reflect prosperity, harmony, perseverance, and readiness for married life. Despite its deep cultural significance, the tradition is increasingly perceived as a form of entertainment rather than a sacred practice, largely due to modernization and diminishing intergenerational knowledge. This article argues that revitalizing and contextualizing Nasi Hadap-Hadapan is essential for safeguarding Malay intangible heritage while reinforcing social cohesion in multicultural Indonesia.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the relationship among ecolinguistics, andaliman, and Batak Culture. It explains how andaliman as Batak’s spices can hold ecolinguistics and Batak Culture. This study employs a qualitative research approach where the data is taken from observation, interviews, and documentation. The finding indicates that in Batak culture, andaliman is not just a culinary ingredient but also an important part of traditional rituals and festivities. The spice is deeply ingrained in the cultural identity of the Batak people such as: Social Interaction, Batak’s Connection to Nature, Respect for Natural Resources, Spiritual Beliefs, Modern Batak Culture, Preserving Tradition in a Modern World, Andaliman in Tourism, and Cultural Connector. It means that andaliman and and Batak culture is not only ecological but also linguistic and symbolic. Andaliman holds cultural significance to be tied to local stories, practices, and beliefs about the plant's power. The symbolic value of andaliman in these contexts goes beyond its flavor and is woven into the cultural fabric of Batak life. Language functions as a vehicle for passing down traditional ecological knowledge, ensuring the continued use and conservation of plants like andaliman. plays a significant role in shaping attitudes toward the sustainable harvesting of plants like andaliman. The way elders talk about andaliman could serve as a cultural guide to ensuring that its use is sustainable and harmonious with nature.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of feminism in Linda Howard’s novel Cry No More using Sara Mills’ Feminist Stylistics model. Situated within the romance thriller genre, the novel offers a productive site to explore how female agency is negotiated between empowerment and vulnerability. The data consist of selected narrative units featuring the protagonist, Milla Edge, which are analyzed through lexical and syntactic categorization focusing on Subject–Object positioning and reader positioning. The analysis reveals three dominant patterns: Milla is constructed as an active Subject through high-transitivity verbs and agentic nominalizations in her role as leader of the “Finders” organization; she is simultaneously rendered an Object via passive structures and a lexicon of suffering; and key resolutions of the plot often depend on male protectors. These findings demonstrate that Milla’s agency functions as “negotiated empowerment,” thereby contributing to feminist Critical Discourse Analysis of popular fiction by showing how patriarchal norms are both challenged and reproduced at the level of linguistic choice.

Abstract

ABSTRACT ENGLISHThis research analyzes the exploitation of women in the short story Perempuan dan Mentalitas by Rena Asyari using a Marxist-Feminist approach. The background of this research departs from the phenomenon of exploitation of women in rural Indonesia who are trapped in the structure of capitalism and patriarchal culture, where women are used as cheap labour without equal access to education and self-development. This short story displays the reality of how young women are conditioned from the start to accept factory work as their only way of life, which reflects a form of systemic exploitation that is ideological and material in nature. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a close reading technique of literary texts. Marxist-Feminist theory is used to reveal the relationship between economic power, patriarchal culture, and false consciousness formed through consumption and normalization of domestic roles. The analysis shows four main forms of exploitation: the commodification of women's labour, patriarchal ideology and structural submission, consumerism as a distraction of consciousness, and women and the double burden. The short story illustrates how the capitalist system not only drains women physically, but also limits their consciousness and freedom through the internalization of social norms. The conclusion of this study confirms that literature can be an effective medium of social criticism to expose the structured exploitation of women. This study also emphasizes the importance of critical consciousness, access to education, and systemic change as absolute conditions towards women's liberation in a capitalist-patriarchal society. ABSTRACT INDONESIANPenelitian ini menganalisis eksploitasi perempuan dalam cerpen Perempuan dan Mentalitas karya Rena Asyari menggunakan pendekatan Marxis-Feminis. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari fenomena eksploitasi perempuan di pedesaan Indonesia yang terjebak dalam struktur kapitalisme dan budaya patriarki, di mana perempuan digunakan sebagai tenaga kerja murah tanpa akses yang setara terhadap pendidikan dan pengembangan diri. Cerpen ini menggambarkan realitas bagaimana perempuan muda sejak awal dikondisikan untuk menerima pekerjaan pabrik sebagai satu-satunya cara hidup mereka, yang mencerminkan bentuk eksploitasi sistemik yang bersifat ideologis dan material. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pembacaan mendalam teks sastra. Teori Marxist-Feminist digunakan untuk mengungkap hubungan antara kekuasaan ekonomi, budaya patriarki, dan kesadaran palsu yang terbentuk melalui konsumsi dan normalisasi peran domestik. Analisis menunjukkan empat bentuk eksploitasi utama: komodifikasi tenaga kerja perempuan, ideologi patriarki dan penyerahan struktural, konsumerisme sebagai pengalihan kesadaran, dan beban ganda perempuan. Cerpen ini menggambarkan bagaimana sistem kapitalis tidak hanya menguras tenaga perempuan secara fisik, tetapi juga membatasi kesadaran dan kebebasan mereka melalui internalisasi norma-norma sosial. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa sastra dapat menjadi medium kritik sosial yang efektif untuk mengungkap eksploitasi terstruktur terhadap perempuan. Penelitian ini juga menekankan pentingnya kesadaran kritis, akses terhadap pendidikan, dan perubahan sistemik sebagai syarat mutlak menuju pembebasan perempuan dalam masyarakat kapitalis-patriarkal.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited scholarly attention to how feminist consciousness is narratively constructed through voice reclamation in contemporary African fiction, particularly within the intersecting forces of patriarchy and postcoloniality. Existing studies largely foreground themes of oppression but often neglect the linguistic and narrative mechanisms through which marginalized women negotiate and rearticulate agency. Focusing on And So I Roar by Abi Daré, this study examines how the protagonist reclaims her voice as a form of resistance within constraining socio-cultural structures. The study aims to analyze how narrative voice, agency, and self-representation function as strategies that move the protagonist from enforced silence to empowered speech. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research applies feminist textual analysis and close reading to identify narrative strategies, linguistic patterns, and symbolic acts. The analysis is informed by feminist literary criticism, subaltern feminist theory, and feminist linguistics. The findings reveal three key patterns: (1) narrative voice as resistance to patriarchal silencing, (2) agency expressed through storytelling and linguistic self-assertion, and (3) the transformation of personal speech into a collective political voice. These strategies position voice reclamation as both personal empowerment and a critique of patriarchal and colonial marginalization, contributing to African feminist literary scholarship and advancing discourse on gender justice.

Abstract

Environmental degradation and gender oppression have been widely theorized as interconnected within ecofeminist discourse; however, existing scholarship has largely focused on canonical and large-scale dystopian narratives, leaving contemporary short fiction that explores these dynamics in intimate, post-apocalyptic contexts underexamined. Addressing this gap, this study analyzes how intersecting systems of ecological crisis and patriarchal domination are represented in A Girl at the End of the World by Prashanth Srivatsa. Drawing on the ecofeminist frameworks of Vandana Shiva and Val Plumwood, the research examines how the narrative critiques anthropocentric and patriarchal logics while reimagining ecological restoration.Using a qualitative descriptive design grounded in ecofeminist literary criticism, the study employs document analysis, thematic coding, and interpretive textual analysis to identify key ecofeminist patterns within the text. The findings reveal six central categories—domination, othering, ruin, ecological trauma, care ethics, and reclamation—that structure the narrative’s representation of the relationship between women and nature. The analysis further demonstrates that the female protagonist operates as a symbolic mediator of ecological renewal, transforming post-apocalyptic ruins into spaces of resistance, ethical care, and environmental regeneration.These findings underscore how contemporary dystopian fiction mobilizes localized, post-apocalyptic settings to reconfigure gender–nature interdependence and challenge hierarchical human–nature relations. By integrating ecofeminist theory with close textual analysis, this study contributes to gender- and environment-oriented literary criticism while extending ecofeminist inquiry into contemporary speculative fiction and discussions of ecological justice.

Abstract

This study examines how intellectual disability and structural injustice are constructed in Miracle in Cell No. 7, directed by Hanung Bramantyo. It aims to analyze the discursive construction of disability and the reproduction of structural discrimination within legal and social contexts. Using a qualitative research design with a critical discourse analysis approach, this study applies Critical Disability Theory to interpret selected dialogues and key scenes that reflect power relations and institutional practices within the narrative. The findings reveal that intellectual disability is constructed as deviance within legal discourse, leading to discursive marginalization and the denial of agency. Discrimination operates structurally through institutional mechanisms such as coercive interrogation, lack of accommodation, and biased legal procedures within the criminal justice system. At the social level, stigma and dominant cultural narratives construct disability as a marker of danger and incompetence, reinforcing exclusion and legitimizing injustice. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting how cinematic narratives reproduce institutionalized ableism across both legal and social domains. It contributes to Critical Disability Studies by emphasizing discrimination as a multidimensional and structurally embedded phenomenon shaped by power relations. Practically, the study underscores the need for disability-inclusive legal frameworks and increased social awareness to promote justice, equality, and dignity for persons with disabilities.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of child abuse in Hopeless by Colleen Hoover, focusing on the experiences of the protagonist, Sky Davis, also known as Hope. It aims to identify the forms of child abuse depicted in the novel and to analyze their psychological effects on the main character. In this research, child abuse is defined as any form of maltreatment inflicted upon a child, including physical and emotional abuse, educational and medical neglect, and sexual violence. Using a qualitative research design, the data were collected from relevant quotations and significant narrative events in the novel. The analysis is based on the theoretical frameworks of child abuse proposed by Siswanto (2007) and Shackelford (2021). The findings reveal that Sky is a victim of sexual abuse committed by her biological father during her childhood. This traumatic experience leaves profound and lasting psychological scars, significantly influencing her emotional and behavioral development. As a result, Sky exhibits symptoms of phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and aggressive behavioral tendencies. Ultimately, the novel vividly portrays the devastating long-term impact of child abuse on an individual's mental health, personal identity, and capacity to form healthy interpersonal relationships.

Abstract

Domestic violence is a widespread social problem that disproportionately affects women and reflects deep-seated gender inequalities embedded in personal, cultural, and institutional structures. Feminist theory offers a critical lens for understanding how patriarchal norms and unequal power dynamics normalize abusive behavior while restricting victims’ access to justice and support. This study explores the feminist representation of domestic violence in the film It Ends with Us, adapted from Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, which has drawn significant attention for its portrayal of intimate partner abuse. Using a qualitative approach grounded in feminist criticism, the research examines the film’s depiction of physical violence, emotional manipulation, coercive control, and the psychological complexities faced by survivors. The narrative follows Lily Bloom, a woman trapped in a cycle of affection and harm, whose experiences highlight the intergenerational transmission of trauma and the lingering effects of witnessing violence in childhood. Her journey reflects the difficult process of asserting identity and agency within an abusive relationship. The analysis considers cinematic and narrative techniques such as framing, symbolism, dialogue, and character development to assess how the film shapes audience empathy and understanding. It also evaluates whether the film challenges or reinforces traditional gender roles and societal misconceptions surrounding domestic abuse. The findings suggest that It Ends with Us has meaningful potential to raise awareness, influence public conversation, and support feminist advocacy aimed at confronting patriarchal structures. Ultimately, the study argues that the film demonstrates the transformative capacity of feminist storytelling to encourage social reflection and empower survivors.
