Abstract

The portrayal of body shaming against women in films is a social critique of the act of body shaming. Hence, the study of body shaming in films is intriguing for future investigation. The objective of this research is to uncover the portrayal of body shaming towards women in films. The research data comprised of words and phrases that encompassed body shaming and were examined utilizing Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach. The data was acquired from the movie Imperfect: Karir, Cinta & Timbangan. This study is also classified as critical-qualitative research. The research findings indicate that the film “Imperfect: Karir, Cinta & Timbangan” portrays three types of body shaming, which include comparing, commenting, and insulating individuals based on their physical appearance. Furthermore, the film's production background is influenced by the film development genre in Indonesia, and the producer's background as a comedian aligns with the genre of the film. In addition, this also highlights that the film production is also considered to have some motives to depict body shaming in the film, including the commercial motive, social culture, and ideology to struggle.

This article studies orientalism constructed in the novel of Digital Fortress that is written by Dan Brown. Orientalism discourse appears in the literary works through narrative events and conversations of the Western and the Eastern. Ensei Tankado, a Japanese character, will be presented in this study in the lens of Western. The aim is to explore orientalism discourse in the novel to get an understanding of the ideology interest as part of the Western power. Theory of Orientalism by Edward Said is applied in this study. It modifies Foucauldian discourse theory and Gramscian hegemony. The four concept of Orientalism discourse including political power, intellectual power, cultural power and moral power will be used in this study. How the Eastern subject is positioned by the Western in Digital Fortress becomes the focus. Japanese and the United States in the novel can be related to the contextual condition that cultural domination and hegemony still occur between Japan-USA since World War II. Orientalism in the literary works is a new imperialism. The goal of this study is to reveal that the novel brings cultural domination.
