Abstract

The emergence of noir fiction in Southeast Asian countries has showcased particular evolvement of noir elements. The noir works produced in this region have embraced shifting noir themes and noir protagonists that slightly move away from what formerly constitutes noir fiction. Thus, this study aims at investigating to what extent these two noir elements from noir fiction produced in Southeast Asia has differed from its preceding noir works in the scholarship of noir genre. As a preliminary finding, this study only highlights the shifting noir elements taken from selected noir stories represented by some noir anthologies produced in Southeast Asia. They are KL Noir from Malaysia, Singapore Noir from Singapore, and Manila Noir from the Philippines. The result shows that noir themes have departed from criminality and violence to some other contextualized themes such as supernaturalism, religion, and colonial legacy. Meanwhile, noir protagonists are portrayed as those who are involved with criminality not only as criminals but also as ‘heroes’. Finally, what is discussed in this study is expected to contribute to a larger discussion of fluidity in noir genre, and, also, noir, or darkness, is proven to be derived from various perspectives.

Abstract

Romanticism in America coincided with the period of national expansion and the emergence of a distinctive American voice triggering the American Renaissance. It was exactly when many American writers were able to express Americans’ new expressions such as imaginative expression over emotion and individual, defense of individual potential and individual freedom as they were rarely vocalized during the former era.The upcoming idea of egalitarianism which is based on the American Liberalism urged Afro-American writers to spread out the spirit of freedom and egalitarianism. They describe several stories about living as a slave. Frederick Douglas has a leading role in the abolishment of slavery in the history of America with his masterpiece Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. That is why the researchers want to find out the spirit of the Romanticism by proving how the social background had taken a part in creating well-known narratives.Using the Sociology of Literature approach, this research is assumed to give effect on shaping the meaning of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, where his work expresses liberalism in the period of Romanticism and could also be used to characterize the Romanticism. That is why literary discussion can not be separated from the issue when and where a work was written. The question when the literature was written is only a part of the discussion about this period including the remarks of the work and the question where it is associated with the society or sociological background where the work was created.Insecure feeling is one main feature of the Romanticism found in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Douglass actualizes the correlation of song and slavery where song is depicted as an escape from the insecure feeling as experienced by slaves. The first objective is to show that when a slave is feeling insecure in his surroundings, then he will try to cheer himself up by singing and will become romantic, too. The second one is the strong spirit of the Romanticism thoroughly found in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass that is the spirit of Liberalism – almost all his narratives express his greatest dream of abolishing slavery trademark of his own. Meanwhile, the sociological background reflected in revolutionary movement took place in Douglass’ surroundings and he accidentally experienced it himself. Then, he made his words to set the slaves free and slavery must be abolished for goodness.

Abstract

This paper proposes Mary Whitebird’s Ta-Na-E-Ka to be used as the teaching material to raise students’ ecological awareness based on the research conducted in the English Department, Jenderal Soedirman University, Purwokerto, Indonesia. This is because literature is believed to represent authentic social, political, ecological, and historical events from a particular range of periods, so literature can be employed as authentic teaching material to teach both the language and culture embedded in it. In this particular study, Mary Whitebird’s Ta-Na-E-Ka was chosen because it offers a distinct ecological theme. The literary theory exercised is Ecocriticism, i.e. the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment; it celebrates nature, the life force, and the wilderness told in the story. This qualitative study employs the data gained from the readers’ questionnaire. It successfully probes the readers’ understanding of the elements of the story, e.g., characters and characterization and theme; it also shows that students are able to capture the issue of nature, physical environment and their relationship with the Kaws as it is proposed by ecocriticism. Therefore, the readers, who are students, become the ecocritics; they are more caring to the world and its nature. In other words, their ecological awareness has sharpened eventually, and Mary Whitebird’s Ta-Na-E-Ka has been successfully used both as the teaching material and as the authentic material to understand the ecocentric value narrated in the story.

Abstract

Previous film studies focusing on gender stereotypes have been sufficiently conducted, yet what remains understudied is the study of film audience about dynamic gender stereotypes shown in one film. Conducting film audience study with the issue of dynamic gender stereotype allows discussions about audience’s perceptions, awareness and underlying knowledge of gender stereotypes. This study attempts to unravel responses collected from thirteen audience of Nancy Meyer’s “The Intern” (2015) and formulates two research objectives i.e. first, to discuss how the audience of “The Intern” perceive the dynamics of gender stereotype depicted in the film and, second, to examine the underlying insights of their perceptions. The incorporated theories are film audience study, serving also as methodological approach, and the discourse of gender stereotype and its changing perspectives. The finding and discussion show that the audience of “The Intern” perceive the inclusion of gender stereotypes and its dynamic change in the film, and their perceptions are followed by several reasons and insights: the story-line of “The Intern” and the audience’s prior knowledge about gender stereotypes. Awareness and sensibility of gender stereotypes are also revealed after watching “The Intern”. Lastly, discussion about the intersection of the audience’s prior knowledge with the exposure about gender stereotype from various resources is also carried out.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the meaning of the animal characters in the Zootopia movie. Zootopia is an animated movie that uses animals as characters; thus, it is challenging to analyze those animals since they brought different signs from common ones. Therefore, this research focuses on three animal characters e.g., mouse, rabbit, and fox which are considered as important signs in Zootopia that thus need to be interpreted. In interpreting the signs, this study employs Saussure's semiotic theory which relates to a sign that contains a signifier and its use or interpretation as signified. This research used qualitative methods. It is found that the stereotypes of the three animal characters in the movie are different from the common acceptance. The movie tries to break stereotypes about mouse, rabbit and fox. Finally, it is hoped that this study may create more awareness to see anything not based on its prevailing labels.

Abstract

Generasi milenial membutuhkan Bahasa Inggris karena batas-batas antar negara tidak terlihat lagi. Hal ini membuat kita harus mampu melakukan komunikasi dengan menggunakan Bahasa internasional, dan Bahasa Inggris salah satunya. Namun, dampak penerapan kurikulum 2013 tentang berkurangnya jumlah jam beberapa mata pelajaran termasuk mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris membuat usaha untuk mempelajari Bahasa tersebut berkurang. Karena itu perlu strategi untuk memudahkan mengusai bahasa tersebut. Fokus pada keterampilan-keterampilan bahasa seperti berbicara, menulis, mendengar dan membaca adalah salah satu caranya. Melihat kompleknya permasalahan penguasaan bahasa ini, siswa SMPN 7 Purwokerto membutuhkan bantuan untuk mengusai Bahasa Inggris. Bantuan ini sifatanya hanya sementara karena setelah itu diharapkan para siswa dapat mandiri melakukan usaha-usaha untuk meningkatkan keterampilan bahasanya. Hal-hal inilah yang menjadi fokus pengabdian masyarakat dosen-dosen FIB Unsoed. Kelas-kelas formal yang tidak dapat memberikan porsi peningkatan kompetensi menulis menjadi latar belakang utama dilakukan pengabdian ini. Sehingga tujuan pengabdian ini untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulis melalui kegiatan literasi berbahasa Inggris. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode ceramah, diskusi dan workshop. Hasil pengabdian berupa 1 buku kumpulan cerita pendek dengan 18 cerita didalamnya menjadi bukti keberhasilan pengabdian ini.

Abstract

The research aims to figure out the gender roles which are used to look at how the film constructs and upholds gender roles. The qualitative method is used to analyze the data in which the primary data are taken from Brad Bird’s Incredibles 2 (2018). Additionally, the researcher used gender roles and cinematography theory to look at how gender is a performance and also to gain a result that gender roles are changing overtimes. The use of Judith Butler’s theory of performativity is to show that the portrayal of gender roles in the movie is slightly different from social construction. Butler’s notion of performativity refers to an act of performance that an individual is doing repeatedly as described in Incredibles 2 (2018) where Bob and Helen do the gender role reversal and share the same responsibilities in the family. Bob is previously shown as the breadwinner of the family and the main earner while Helen is a full-time stay-at-home mother who takes care of the children and the house. Since they no longer hold the traditional gender role; therefore, the movie demonstrates how they start to swap gender assigned tasks. Accordingly, the gender roles are showcased as Bob is being the househusband and the caretaker of the family while Helen is a working woman.

Abstract

Facilitated by The Voice of Singapore’s Invisible Hands, a non-profit organization (NPO) that promotes the rights and welfare of migrant workers in Singapore through literary works on Facebook, some Indonesian Migrant Domestic Workers (IMDWs) in Singapore such as Seruni, Fadillah, et. al., to name a few, have been able to publish their poems and short stories in an anthology entitled “Familiar Strangers” (2018). To add to the current studies of literary works written by migrant workers that are about home and family as well as migratory experience of exile, loneliness, alienation, and isolation, the present study offers a different perspective of IMDW’s migratory experience working in Singapore that is depicted in the six selected poems through the postcolonial lens. Accordingly, it examines the migrant workers’ salient migratory experience of working in Singapore that, I argue, conveys voices of renegotiation for better IMDWs’ position as domestic workers and thus challenges certain stereotypes about them. The voice of renegotiation is expressed by vocalizing steadfastness and courage where subversion and confrontation against the dehumanization they oftentimes encounter can also be observed. These IMDWs through their poems are seen as a countering narrative about Indonesian domestic workers, and the notion of writing back is then solidly founded.

Abstract

The glass ceiling effect is a phenomenon that often happens in society but is still rarely addressed. It is because this phenomenon is oftentimes hard to notice since we are already used to it. However, this kind of issue is apparent in What Men Want (2019) movie. This current study aims to analyze the glass ceiling effect faced by the main character in the movie, Ali Davis. The method used to help analyze the data is a qualitative method by taking dialogues from the movie as the main data of this research. The result shows the aspects that indicate the glass ceiling effect in the movie are the employee promotion system, discrimination from male coworkers, and discrimination from a prospective client. Eventually, this study reveals that the glass ceiling effect still occurs in the modern era. Therefore, this current study suggests that companies have to be mindful when they set policies and a good understanding of gender equality among people in the workplace is also needed to minimize the similar cases.
