Abstract

Taking into account the existence of the witch characters in Macbeth, this study was performed to analyze the social function of the due characters. In so doing, the historical design was used to locate the play as it was socially and originally perceived by its contemporary audiences. The result shows that such characters serve both structurally and socially as well: structurally to justify the course of the hero disgracing fate and socially to maintain the idea of the necessary goodness

Abstract

Recent issues on social and politics have become so influential in Indonesia that people are divided and become increasingly intolerant. In the era of intolerance it is quite right to rediscoverand analyse arguments of the late K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid, the fourth president of Indonesia that earned his reputation as an international religious scholar, a defender of pluralism, and a champion of humanity. This paper presents a discourse analysis on argumentative devices used byAbdurrahman Wahid in his English articles published at www.gusdur.net. Wahid used the eight argumentative devices masterfully in his articles. Evaluative expressive expressions were the most frequent argumentative device (31%). Wahid tended to show his value judgments bluntly, either positive or negative, to comment or react to current issues under discussion. Such an emotional tendency potentially came from Wahid’s own point of view that was based on things which were ideal for him, not on objective analyses made by other people.

Abstract

This study sets out to present the combined application of qualitative research and a translation method to elucidate the transcendental aspect of Chairil Anwar's poem entitled Aku. The translation process uses the poem’s verbatim format at first, then its interpretation of the content, and finally its inherent ideas by reading behind its lines. The transcending process is achieved through the use of a symbolic beast that permeates the poem’s structure. The beast-symbol has twofold functions in the poem, to say that everything beyond the persona-self is unworthy and thus the persona itself is capable of reaching a more divine place or becoming a higher being. Such a powerful symbol further substantiates the presence of a textual being, a voice of a persona that is inherent within the poem’s structure, and of which function is to express the persona’s wish to transcend into something bigger or higher than himself, which is resembling, if not equal to, a godly being. Keywords: poem’s persona, poetic translation, transcendentalism.

Abstract

This journal article examines the grammatical construction of some TV news headlines, highlighting the issues that arise due to their structure. The primary concern is that the headlines use adverbial clauses or phrases of reason before the main clauses which inadvertently cause some confusion about the subjects and the actions of the news stories. That is because the adverbial clauses or phrases often function as appositives to modify the subject of the main clause. When used as clauses of reason as in the headlines, this grammatical construction creates ambiguity in understanding who is then performing the described actions. The study finds that these headlines are structurally complex and misleading, making them fail to convey their intended meaning. To address this issue, the article suggests that the headlines be rephrased to eliminate ambiguity. Improved headline construction not only enhances communication but also ensures that potential confusion for the audience is minimized.

Abstract

This study delves into the character development of Dickon Sowerby, a child character in Frances Hodg-son Burnett's novel, The Secret Garden. As a supporting character to Mary Lennox and Colin Craven, the study explores Dickon's characterization using Watson's behaviorist theory to analyze observable behavior and environment in children's developmental processes. The analysis draws from dialogue and narration related to Dickon's character, examining his behavior towards family, neighbors, and nature's wild crea-tures. Additionally, the study looks at the influence of Dickon's home, consisting of parents and siblings, as well as the neighborhood's moorland, which serves as the heath.

Abstract

This research examines Keiko Furukura’s character development influenced by the convenience store as the main spatial setting in Sayaka Murata’s novel entitled Convenience Store Woman (2018). The study is a literary criticism which uses the theory of New Criticism, especially its argument that centers on the analysis of the main character in the story. This research proposes that spatial settings can become one of most determinant factors to affect the character’s development in the story. The finding proves that the store is influential to the main character’s development as it plays as the character’s life-anchor to evaluate, measure or even, eventually, decide how worthy the main character is as a human.

Abstract

Cartoons as a medium of social criticism have been increasingly popular for the last decades. Famous cartoons targeting adult audiences like South Park and The Simpsons heavily tackle the politics and events in the USA. Children’s cartoons can be equally critical and political. However, scant scholarship still explores the political dimension of children's cartoons. This study aims at filling the scholarly lacuna by looking at how SpongeBob SquarePants, a cartoon dedicated to children, conveys its political message, specifically examining the Krabby Kronicle episode (2008); this article demonstrates that the episode heavily criticizes the practice of yellow journalism through the use of allegory. The allegory is utilized in the narrative to deliver the political message as they try to compare the practice of yellow journalism in the Krabby Kronicle episode and the actual practice of yellow journalism. The allegory is supported by the cinematic (mise-en-scene) aspect of the episode to make the narrative not only entertaining but also make the message believable.

Abstract

The Phantom of the Opera is a novel by Gaston Leroux that has been adapted into plays and films. The adaptation of the novel in the play is still being staged in several theatres overseas this year. The best play adaptation is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera (1986) because it became the longest-running theatrical event in Broadway history. The neat appearance of the play cannot be separated from the reference play script, which explains all the intrinsic elements. The mask that characterises the Phantom’s appearance holds a paradoxical meaning for the beauty he desires to get compassion. Therefore, the following study aims to explore the paradox of the mask as a metaphorical symbol worn by the Phantom from a close reading approach. The analysis is based on the play The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The metaphorical symbol of the mask is discovered by analysing the narrated details and related dialogue conversations. Then, its intensity directly connects with the paradoxical meaning that using a mask to cover up deformity hides true beauty. Thus, it can be concluded that covering something does not always make it good, and the thing covered is a good object without realising it. This study is expected to increase awareness and open new perspectives that previously defined the Phantom’s appearance as hideous, but it turns out that it contains beauty.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of developing a learning track to respond to the demands of the creative market industry in the community, particularly with regard to journalism and related content creation. The study is based on a collaborative workshop conducted with practitioners from the Indonesian platform Kapanlagi Youniverse. The results of this preliminary study indicate that designing a curriculum and learning program that aligns with current industry practices is essential for preparing the journalism and creative content workforce. Collaborating with industry practitioners is crucial to competing in the rapidly evolving creative industry. The findings also suggest that incorporating subjects such as focused journalism and specific writing, as well as collaborative subjects, into up-to-date learning programs is vital for meeting contemporary industry requirements. Furthermore, the study highlights the needs to take action to develop an undergraduate curriculum that leverages relevant materials, media, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. By preparing the creative industry’s workforce in the community, we can enhance its readiness, thus fostering a circular learning process that benefits the community as a whole.
