Abstract

Freedom is always a longing for everyone. Freedom is a dream that must be achieved in broadly life; it is not only a kind of utopia, but should be united in reality. By the freedom one can do anything, for the freedom is over all. Once the freedom being shackled, the struggle for liberation will become a necessary one. Such a struggle is not always and only appeared in the physical appearances, but also appears in the ideas against the establishment of hegemony. Those thesis statements above are discursive formations that is used to analyze the struggling ideas of Lily Briscoe; one of the characters that in Virginia Woolf’s novel To the Lighthouse. Lily Briscoe is important to appear because she broaches ideas, statements, and questions that refer to her struggle for liberating herself from the patriarchal hegemony, including patriarchal ideal of womanhood. In accordance with such a struggle, the combination theoretical framework of Marxist-Feminism with a little “deconstructive” reading will be an interesting discussion here.

Comparative literature involves comparing, analysing and understanding literary works to explore similarities, differences and influences in literature.

This research explores the similarities and differences in the use of hyperbole and metaphor in the top five songs from Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay. By conducting a comparative analysis of the lyrical content, this research aims to reveal how these two well-known bands use these literary devices to convey emotions and themes in their music. By using Reaske's figurative language theory and objective criticism approach. This research found that Arctic Monkeys songs often explore themes of romance, emotion, and burning desire, using hyperbole to dramatically amplify feelings, making their expressions more intense and vivid, for Coldplay lyrics often raise themes of longing, regret, and admiration. As for metaphors, both bands use metaphors extensively to convey deeper meanings and evoke emotions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how literary techniques are used in songwriting across different genres and styles of music.Keywords: Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Comparative Literature, Figurative Language

Abstract

This research aims to reveal how Japanese culture is being redefined as a dynamic social process. The social dynamic processes involve emotional experiences that are formed from individual perspectives into collective feelings. It views culture as something that continues to develop along with social changes and the collective feelings felt by society. These ideas are represented in the film Kubo and the Two Strings (2016). This research uses a qualitative approach to Marxist literary criticism. The film Kubo and the Two Strings is not only as entertainment but also as a representative of deep social criticism of social movements regarding power dynamics and cultural identity. This study contributes to the field of Marxist studies by highlighting cultural dynamics and how the structure of feelings works in society to create newness without abandoning conventional traditions to achieve balance. In addition, it provides insights for future research and encourages broader exploration of increasingly diverse cultural dynamic contexts which influences the interpretation of defining culture itself. The results of this research prove that Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) represent a redefinition of Japanese culture in terms of the 3 main aspects dominant, residual, and emergent. Supported by the structure of feelings that were felt by Kubo. These findings are a powerful example of how art can serve as a tool to examine changes in culture.

Abstract

Enola Holmes and Sherlock Holmes produce different shows within the same genre. This research aims to discover the differences in case-solving techniques between Enola and Sherlock Holmes. The appropriate method for this research is qualitative using literary criticism. The researcher only focused on the films and reference sources to find out the case-solving patterns and the influence of color in Enola Holmes and Sherlock Holmes. The findings are that Enola uses more case-solving techniques, such as wordplay and intuition, and prioritizes feelings. The colors displayed also look more cheerful with a combination of bright colors. Whereas, Sherlock uses more deductive abilities with a focus on goals without involving his feelings by using dark colors that make him look serious and dark. In his every action, there is no hesitation at all. This research proves the difference between Sherlock and Enola in solving cases and the fact that colors are not just aesthetics but can also support the narrative, which then creates a deeper message and atmosphere.

Abstract

Lesson Study as a growing interest in the education world has attracted educators, experts, and professionals in the area to make use of it in improving the lessons—it also happens in Indonesia. Originally applied in the teaching of mathematics in Japan, now it turns to be used in other fields, and English is one of them. This paper highlights the guideline on Lesson Study and pictures its application in a private senior high school in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The adaptation of Lesson Study is interesting since Japan and Indonesia have different cultural background. How Lesson Study is usually implemented in Japan and the US and how it is applied in Indonesia will be seen here. As this is a case study, it will only focus on a school and the result should not be used to generalize Lesson Study applications in Indonesia. Interview and observation were instruments used in this study. The interview was used to gain information on how Lesson Study was normally conducted and observation (and the researchers’ involvements) was used to see the real implementation of Lesson Study. What happened during the implementation of Lesson Study and during the teaching and learning process become a great attention here.

Abstract

The search for identity is commonly experienced in adolescent development and includes various aspects such as spirituality and the self. However, in this process, an individual might struggle to adjust between personal beliefs and social norms. The novel Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume represents the struggles experienced by adolescents amidst social pressures and personal desires, as depicted through the main character, Margaret. This research applies literary criticism to discuss Margaret's journey in shaping her spiritual identity and anxiety about her physical development using Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity. Using a mimetic approach, the novel reflects social dynamics in 1970s America, including social pressures on gender roles and shifting patterns of religiosity. The results of this study show that Margaret's identity is formed through her interactions with society, influences from her family, and personal experiences. This research emphasizes that identity search is a dynamic process influenced by various internal and external factors.

Abstract

In many myths and legends, Nyai Roro Kidul is believed to be a semi-divine being or a beautiful princess with mystical qualities. Known as the Queen of the Southern Sea (Indian Ocean), she embodies a unique fusion of local spiritual beliefs, Hindu-Buddhist influences, and, later, Islamic cultural integration. Her narrative not only reflects the Javanese people’s interaction with nature and the supernatural world but also encapsulates deeper meanings related to power, gender, and the relationship between humans and the divine. Those who seek wealth often glorify Nyai Roro Kidul, even if it means promising the souls of family members as an offering. The story of Nyai Roro Kidul, believed by many traditional Javanese, remains controversial today. Some believe in her and even claim to have encountered her, while many others consider it just folklore. In reality, belief in Nyai Roro Kidul is not confined to indigenous communities but also extends to modern intellectuals, especially Javanese mystics. Fisher and Rinehart discuss important aspects of cultural diversity leading to syncretism in detail, such as the reliance on oral traditions among the people. Likewise, the mythology of Nyai Roro Kidul has been passed down orally through various stories, making her narrative widespread and a common feature of the belief systems among communities along Java’s southern coast as part of a "living religion" from the perspective of indigenous sacred ways.
