Abstract

This paper revolves around disenfranchised grief in children. Disenfranchised grief refers to a loss that is not acknowledged, not socially accepted, and not discussed in public which makes people think that they have no right to grieve that loss. With children’s picture books as the chosen creative form and adventure as the chosen genre, this paper presents what causes children to grieve and how they process this grief. The stories depict Putra, Gwen, Daniel, Deborah, and Gabriel experiencing disenfranchised grief because their attachment to people or things they care about is broken, regardless of how trivial it is. Onward, they process grief by going through John Bowlby and Colin Murray Parkes’s four phases of grieving namely numbness, yearning and searching, disorganization, and re-organization to seize acceptance.

Abstract

Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) is described as a parent’s failure to respond enough to their child’s emotional needs. Although the effects can be severe, it is rarely studied compared to other kinds of childhood abuse and maltreatment. The writers hope to raise awareness about the topic through a short story collection which consists of four stories. Each story shows different types of emotionally neglectful parents, its impacts on the victims as adults, and how they overcome their situation using Dr. Jonice Webb’s empirical insights on CEN as a theoretical framework. The protagonists: Amanda, Brian, Christine, and Daniel, are people in their early twenties who go through their lives trying to deal with the impact of childhood emotional neglect that their parents gave them. The stories show a few types of emotionally neglectful parents: the combination of the narcissistic parent and the achievement/perfection focused parent, the permissive parent, the workaholic parent, and child as parent. The impacts in adulthood materialize in these stories include hiding emotions and lack of self-love, lack of self-discipline, lack of self-esteem, and being overly responsible. The solutions pursued by the main characters are learning to say no, improving their sense of self-discipline, self-soothing, and trying to put themselves first.

Abstract

The planet is currently facing a crisis, and capitalism plays a part in it as it affects both the workers and the provider, nature. This paper aims to show the effects of capitalism to the working people and environment in a dystopian world where nature is on the brink of destruction, using screenplay as the creative medium, and dystopian genre. This creative work uses the theories of ecological Marxism and class struggle. Annie, an epitome of the working people in Outside, has to endure the exhaustion as capitalism run by the ruler of Inside leads to long working hours and product alienation, malnutrition due to the lack of food and water, as well as anxiety as her sister falls sick. The intense capitalistic production leads to resource depletion in the form of drought as well as the scorching heat. To make things worse, the Outside people are being treated unjustly, causing mass action.

Abstract

As the emotional regulation process has already happened since childhood, it is a crucial phase to learn to manage emotions with different strategies. This paper explores emotional regulation strategies performed by children in five children’s picture book stories. The theoretical framework is derived from Emotional Regulation Theory by James Gross. Using antecedent-focused strategies such as situation modification shows better effects than a response modulation strategy such as expressive suppression has negative consequences. As a result of performing expressive suppression strategy, each child character in the stories experiences unpleasant effects such as stress, pessimism, and discomfort with the people around them. The characters then switch to a situation modification strategy by modifying aspects of their initial situation that trigger their negative emotions. All these lead to better consequences of emotional regulation such as experiencing a happier mood and lower levels of negative mood.

Abstract

Beauty penalty is a phenomenon which occurs in society which imposes disadvantages on attractive people. However, as this phenomenon has largely been acknowledged in the confinement of one individual’s testimony to another without adequate further study, the majority of people still ignore it. Despite its prevalence and significance, the beauty penalty phenomenon lacks deeper discussion, especially in Indonesia. In response to this reality, this paper explores the triggers to beauty penalty and multiple forms which the beauty penalty affects one’s life using the concept of perceived entitlement by Margaret Lee et al., the concept of unmet expectations by Catherine Eckel and Rick Wilson, and the concept of beauty penalty forms by Stephen Marson and Joanne Hessmiller as the theoretical framework. We explore this topic by designing a short story collection to show how people’s perceived entitlement and unmet expectations of the attractive protagonists as the triggers to beauty penalty occurrence. In addition, the work shows that the beauty penalty phenomenon can manifest in forms such as social penalties, mental problems, emotional disturbances, and physical challenges. Thus, the protagonists must face their own forms of beauty penalty to achieve their goals.
