Abstract

Abstract: Susan Glaspell’s plays have been recognized for its feminist ideologies. The present study traces the representations of the notion of sisterhood in Glaspell’s scrip entitled Trifles by employing Barthes’ semiotics and Fischer-Lichte’s concept of kinesics. Focusing on the gestural and the proxemic signs of the kinesics included in the script, the present study reveals that the notion of sisterhood grows among the female characters in the play through the increasing realization of their similar positions as women in patriarchal society. This development of solidarity among the female characters implies a strong feminist ideology about how women should stand together in facing oppression in male-dominated structures.

Abstract

The phenomenon of cancel culture has become a common, even effective, way of convicting people who are deemed to be a deviant of social norms. The practice of cancel culture is massively emerging on mainstream lens by the stimulation of Harvey Weinstein’s cases in Hollywood discourse, or known as the Weinstein Effects. The article aims to examine cancel culture in Hollywood and the relation between this phenomenon with Weinstein Effects, and point out a hysteresis in Hollywood celebrity culture due to this event. The research is conducted qualitatively by synthesizing information from various journal articles and online news regarding celebrity discourse. Furthermore, the basis of analytical discussion within this article is Foucauldian premise regarding genealogy and Bourdieusian postulation on cultural hysteresis.

Abstract

The contemporary Hollywood cinematic landscape is commonly filled with popular films that seek mass legitimacy. It is different from theatrical works or Broadway that are specifically aimed at connoisseurs. The ample evidence of popular films infers that American cultural field constructs its logicality in effect of this system. It affects at how one distinctively perceives theatre or Broadway as “art” and films as “entertainment", leading the actors within them to seek to be legitimized as an “actor/artist” in a distinctive way. This article specifically aims to diagnose this condition through Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu’s film entitled Birdman (2014) that tells a story of a washed-up American film actor who wishes to revive his career on Broadway. The research utilizes Pierre Bourdieu’s theory on the mechanism of symbolic power, capital, and trajectories to reveal the dynamics of the field in legitimizing one’s status as an actor and the paths one takes to be legitimized as an artist. The findings suggest the asymmetrical position between Broadway and films leads to exertions of symbolic violence as portrayed by Birdman. The skillset to act is not a measurement for one to be called as an “actor”, rather it is the complex nexus between the field and the agent’s background that determines the legitimacy.
