Abstract

Teaching Indonesian as a curriculum compulsory subject (MKWK) in university implies some challenges, considering the teaching is intended for students who have yet to study language theoretically and conceptually formally. This research is reflectively aimed at describing teaching challenges and possibilities. Methodologically, this study involved the researcher as an Indonesian language teacher in a university using a reflective-introspective way to gather data based on his experience. The results of this study are as follows: The students have various scientific backgrounds that are substantially and culturally different. Conditionally, they do not study Indonesian historically, culturally, theoretically, and methodologically. This implies that the orientation of teaching Indonesian needs to be formulated. Indonesian as MKWK is taught functionally for language purposes in higher education. Language as a signifying medium becomes a verbal or oral communication tool to disseminate knowledge. Thus, the teaching materials are also adjusted elementary to the scientific background of each student. This allows the establishment of relations between Indonesian as a subject and other disciplines. Thus, awareness of this aspect of teaching makes it possible to place Indonesians not as "additional" but as "significant" learning in universities.

Abstract

The concept of body politics underpins the rigid, oppressive class system in Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy (VA) series, shaping how power is distributed and maintained across social groups. This study examines how power is enacted on individual bodies through mechanisms of regulation, control, and normalization that extend beyond formal authority. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Scheper-Hughes and Lock, particularly their notion of the body as a political and social reality, this research situates the body as a key site where ideology, morality, and power converge. Within this framework, social norms are shown to exert a disciplinary force that often surpasses the effectiveness of legal or institutional governance. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study examines narrative events, character interactions, and emotional responses within the Vampire Academy series, focusing on the lived bodily experiences of Moroi, Dhampir, and Humans. Special attention is given to how emotional regulation, physical discipline, and moral expectations are unevenly imposed across these groups. The analysis reveals that social stability in the VA universe is sustained by the interplay of religious morality and hierarchical class structures. Moral control manifests through the internalization of Christian-influenced ethical values, particularly those related to purity, sacrifice, and duty, which are reinforced through emotions such as guilt, fear, and obligation. At the same time, the class system dictates acceptable physical behaviour and bodily practices, especially in the militarization and instrumentalization of Dhampir bodies and the privileged protection of Moroi bodies. These dynamics demonstrate that power in the VA series functions most effectively not through overt violence alone, but through the internalization of norms that discipline both body and mind. Ultimately, the study argues that body politics in Vampire Academy serve as a critical mechanism for maintaining the existing social order by transforming domination into a normalized and emotionally accepted condition.
