Abstract

Although the Industrial Revolution in Britain’s Victorian era contributed significantly toward Britain’s development, it also led to the emergence of materialism issues in society. This research aims to identify how materialism was constructed and to reveal the worldview on materialism expressed in A Little Princess (2017). Goldmann’s Genetic Structuralism is operated in this qualitative research. The results indicate that the materialism issue brought some adverse impacts or social problems, such as the division of social classes, the social gap between the upper, middle, and working classes, and child labor in the Victorian age. Besides, the worldview of Burnett’s social group resisted materialism by delineating these social issues and a binary opposition between a materialistic character shown by Miss Minchin and a non-materialistic character presented by Sara. Through the binary opposition, Burnett wanted readers to be aware of the negative impacts of practicing materialistic traits such as possessiveness, envy, and non-generosity. Possessiveness is shown by Miss Minchin's desire and attitude to retain all of Sara’s luxury stuff. Envy appears in Miss Minchin's envy of Sara’s wealth and prosperity. Non-generosity as Miss Minchin hard to donate her possessions or do charity. As a human fact product, A Little Princess can be interpreted as a view to getting a better life for poor child workers at that time.

Abstract

Abstract becomes the mandatory part of an article which should be concise and lexically condensed. Unfortunately, not all academic writers can meet this demand. Following Halliday & Matthiessen’s (1999) types of the grammatical metaphor in which the nominalization plays as the main tendency of the construal, this study investigates nominalization cases and how they are manifested in the texts. Seven graduate students’ thesis abstracts of the Linguistics Department of a state university in Indonesia were opted as the object of the investigation. Each instance of the nominalization was coded, counted, and classified to decide their types and an in-depth elaboration of how they are manifested in the texts is provided as well. The results showed that the graduate students employed all types of the nominalization to increase the abstracts’ conciseness. The Process nominalization realized from the process-thing transference highly dominates the abstracts. The findings also reveal a wide gap of the nominalization use between the process nominalization and the other types indicating the students’ lower intermediacy of the nominalization mastery in the academic writing. Therefore, the explicit teaching of the nominalization is highly recommended as this could be of value to the students involved in the scientific publication in this university.

Abstract

This research is an analysis of the representation of body image and self-acceptance issues of the main character in 45 Pounds (More or Less) through the perspective of Hall’s representation theory. By applying Hall's theory of representation to this research, the researcher gains a deeper understanding of how the novel represents and reinforces cultural norms and values related to body image and self-acceptance, and how these representations shape the feelings and emotions of readers related to the discourse of body image and self-acceptance.This study uses a qualitative research method in which the data sources are primary and secondary data. The primary data are in the form of narrations, dialogues and statements in the novel by K.A Barson entitled 45 Pounds (More or Less) as the main focus in this research. The secondary data includes the historical data, psychological research and cultural studies on body image and self-acceptance. This research focuses on the representation of body image and self-acceptance issue and the critical position of the author through the sense or content in 45 Pounds (More or Less). The analysis results shows that these issues were predominantly influenced by the media’s portrayal of unrealistic beauty standards, leading characters to constantly compare themselves and feel dissatisfied. The author prioritized health over vanity and encouraged readers to look beyond societal pressures, promoting a deeper appreciation of one’s body and self-worth

Abstract

This research aims to show that women can dominate the story as seen in Negley’s picture book (2019) Mary Wears What She Wants. The theory used in this research is the theory of representation by Stuart Hall (1997). Besides, Barthes’ semiotic  theory (1957, 1968) is utilized to reveal the meaning of verbal and visual data in Negley’s picture book. This research is qualitative in its nature in which the data are the verbal as well as the visual texts of the picture book under study.  The finding of this research shows that the picture book under scrutiny represents inequality of gender rather than equality which highlight the inequality of women and men in the Victorian society. Another finding reveals that liberal feminism is represented through the main character, Mary. Mary dares to take risks to choose and decide the best for women, as she thinks that women have the rights to do anything they want without hesitation and with no limitation. This research also reveals that Mary uses her power to voice and to make changes impacting to women in her time. Because of her strive and determination, to date women have the bravery and power to do anything they want.

Abstract

Rooted within structures of patriarchy and modern life, gender equality seems still far from achieved. Providing social issues like gender inequality, literary works become reliable proof to portray subordination or discrimination against women. Thus, this study aspires to strive for women empowerment and re-educating men expectantly to tackle the problems of gender inequality. Desy Anwar's Growing Pains is interlaced with gender issues in five chapters. This research aims to unveil a range of gender conflicts and the efforts of the female main characters to overcome the hardships in life. Descriptive criticism is employed as a method of analysis. Following Lazar's Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (2014), the linguistic data in the form of lexical choices, phrases, and clauses are first identified based on the language features indicating gender inequality or violence. Eckert and McConnell-Ginet's language theory (2013) is applied in unraveling the details of linguistic evidence. Then, interpreting the discursive logic is correlated with the cultural realm of the novel Hence, the findings yield that all the selected lexicons, phrases, and clauses of the novel construct the meanings of gender issues. Socio-cultural experiences represent forms of gender-based violence such as asymmetrical family systems, misogynistic practices, gender-identity threatening, deviant female promiscuity, and cruel motherhood portrayal. The symbolic and psychological impacts are also identified, referring to post-patriarchal regimes. Although there seems to be effortful survival in masculine domination, both internal and external factors are in support of constructed gender inequalities. Eventually, all the female characters are demonstrated as the vulnerably subordinated subjects of neoliberal hegemony. This research fervently aims to recall the awareness of symbolic gender violence due to ongoing powers that halt the emergence of gender equality and reshape it into hegemonic strategies.Keywords: hegemony, inequality, misogyny, patriarchy, symbolic violence

Abstract

This article discusses the adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel Matilda (1988)into the movie Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical (2022), directed by Matthew Warchus. This research focuses on the transformation of intrinsic elements, which is the plot of the novel to the movie. The transformation of the novel into the movie is classified as the telling-to-showing mode. The transformation from written text to audio-visual media involves changes such as subtractions and additions, which are influenced by the differences in the mediums of expression. The three main issues discussed in this article are (1) the transformations of the plot in the novel into the movie, (2) the ideology reflected in the works by the author and the adapter, and (3) the motives of the adapter. This research uses a comparative method with Linda Hutcheon's Theory of Adaptation and Roland Barthes's semiotics. The findings show the ideology of patriarchy by the author in the novel and the ideologies of children's education rights and feminism by the adapter in the movie. Furthermore, this study reveals the motives of the adapter, which include personal motives, as reflected in the ideological changes, and economic lure motives, demonstrating how creative and commercial factors shape the adaptation process.

Abstract

This article uses the concepts of Magical Realism by Wendy B. Faris (2004) and Africanfuturism by Okorafor (2019) to analyze ‘Hello Moto’ by Nnedi Okorafor (2011). We analyzed the magical elements and concepts of African futurism in Okorafor's short stories to explain the author's intention in writing her works, which mostly use similar themes such as postcolonialism. After analyzing these two concepts, it was found that Nnedi Okorafor, through her work 'Hello Moto' reflects a postcolonial perspective on cultural hybridity by presenting advanced technology in the form of wigs and combining it with the power of black magic which can release powers such as transmission and mind control. There is a blend of Eastern and Western culture in 'Hello Moto' based on the above explanation. The contribution of this study lies in its exploration of Africanfuturism uniquely represented in Okorafor’s ‘Hello Moto’ as a medium for postcolonial discourse, showcasing how her work reimagines technological advancement through an African cultural lens while bridging traditional and modern worlds. AbstrakArtikel ini menggunakan konsep Realisme Magis oleh Wendy B. Faris (2004) dan Africanfuturisme (2019) untuk menganalisis ‘Hello Moto’ karya Nnedi Okorafor (2011). Kami menganalisis elemen magis dan konsep africanfuturisme yang terdapat di dalam cerita pendek karya Okorafor untuk menjelaskan niat penulis menulis karya-karyanya yang kebanyakan menggunakan tema yang serupa yakni tentang poskolonialisme Setelah menganalisis kedua konsep tersebut, ditemukan bahwa Nnedi Okorafor melalui karyanya ‘Hello Moto’ mencerminkan perspektif postkolonial tentang hibriditas budaya dengan menghadirkan teknologi canggih berupa wig dan memadukannya dengan kekuatan ilmu hitam yang dapat melepaskan kekuatan seperti teleportasi dan pengendalian pikiran. Terdapat perpaduan budaya Timur dan Barat dalam ‘Hello Moto’ berdasarkan penjelasan di atas. Kontribusi penelitian ini terkait dengan eksplorasi Afrofuturism sebagaimana direpresentasi dalam ‘Hello Moto’ sebagai media wacana pascakolonial, dimana kemajuan teknologi di kultur Afrika digambarkan dengan cara menjembatani dunia tradisional dan modern.
