Abstract

This study explores the stereotyping practices faced by Black women in the film Hidden Figures (2016), focusing on the lived experiences of three central characters—Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. Using feminist literary criticism and the "reading as a woman" approach, the research investigates how these women navigated and overcame institutionalized racial and gender discrimination at NASA during the 1960s. The findings indicate that prevailing stereotypes—such as assumptions of intellectual inferiority, incompetence, and submissiveness—were instrumental in marginalizing Black women within scientific spaces. However, through persistent effort, exceptional intelligence, and professional integrity, these women challenged and ultimately dismantled such stereotypes. Their success not only contributed to key space missions but also reshaped the dominant narrative around race and gender in science and technology. The study connects these fictionalized portrayals with real historical events, informed by stereotype theory, intersectionality, and existing scholarly literature. By doing so, the analysis underscores the importance of inclusive representation in media and its role in social awareness and change. In conclusion, Hidden Figures serves as a powerful narrative that reclaims Black women’s agency in history and affirms their rightful place in the scientific community.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how Into the Wild represents anti-modernism through the character of Christopher McCandless. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using the sociology of literature approach to analyze how social conditions, family background, and personal experiences influence the main character’s rejection of modern values. The data were collected from the film’s script, scenes, and dialogues, supported by relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that anti-modernism is represented through Christopher McCandless’s rejection of material success, career ambition, institutional identity, and rational planning. His perspective develops gradually as a result of emotional conflict, family instability, and dissatisfaction with modern social structures. The contrast between Annandale as a structured suburban environment and Alaska as a natural and isolated setting highlights the tension between modern institutional life and the search for authenticity. The study also identifies key anti-modernist elements, including criticism of modern society, pessimism toward material values, appreciation of nature, resistance to institutions, and rejection of rational control. The study concludes that anti-modernism in the film functions both as a critique of modern life and as a reflection of its consequences, showing that complete withdrawal from society may lead to isolation and vulnerability.

Abstract

21st-century digital novels, accessible through mobile apps like Webnovel, Dreame, and Play Books, commonly depict women characters as powerless, impoverished stepdaughters or illegitimate children. These prevalent themes in digital novels often reinforce patriarchal norms and present themes of fathers' financial struggles and indebtedness to wealthy families resulted to contract marriage or planned marriage. Employing the approach of feminist literary criticism, this study aims to examine how these novels uphold antiquated perceptions of women's identity. Through the reading strategy of feminist literary criticism is revealed that these digital novels represented the old construction about women identity, perpetuating the idea that women are powerless and financially dependent on men. From the setting of the novel, we know that the offered themes were not only occurred in eastern culture but also in western culture. They depict women as inanimate objects, lacking agency and voice. The narratives promote patriarchy by portraying male power and oppression as protection, often emphasizing material wealth. This notion is strategically disseminated through digital novels, targeting the millennial generation who have easy access to digital media. Consequently, younger women may internalize these ideas and accept their subjugated role. Instead, digital novels should empower women to navigate patriarchal constraints and depict men who respect and support women's autonomy, challenging traditional gender norms. While the study employs feminist literary criticism as the reading strategy, it's important to acknowledge that different theoretical frameworks or approaches may provide alternative interpretations of the novels. Recognizing the limitations and potential biases of the chosen methodology could lead to a more balanced analysis.

Abstract

Today's globalization eliminates time, space, distance, and national barriers. The two novels examined in this study implied those issues. The objective of this study is to analyze the territorial boundaries, spatial dimensions, and temporal aspects that evoke a profound impact in Robinson Crusoe and Life of Pi, employing a postcolonial perspective. Both of these works originated from a shared concept, specifically the theme of being stranded as a result of a shipwreck. However, these novels were written throughout distinct times spanning several centuries. Robinson Crusoe was published in the 18th century, whilst Life of Pi was published during the 21st century. The similar concept of "Castaway" does not imply the creation of an identical narrative. The level of precision in the portrayal of territorial boundaries, space, and time in these two works is noteworthy, but they exhibit certain distinctions. The narrative of Robinson Crusoe prominently features people embodying the roles of master and slave, hence highlighting the concept of social boundaries. Contrarily, Life of Pi explores the ambiguous nature of borders about territory, space, and time, as they are consistently subject to dispute. Consequently, the delineation of power dynamics between characters is likewise a matter of contestation. In conclusion, these two novels convey two different ideologies by territory, space, and time considered through the lens of post-colonialism. The span of centuries demonstrates the diversity of human interpretations of them. Robinson Crusoe conveys the idea that colonialism is inevitable. Meanwhile, Life of Pi interprets colonialism as cruelty.

Abstract

The translation of prophets' names in the Quran often differs from their original form, with English translations frequently aligning more closely with the biblical figures. This raises the question of whether these translations still accurately reflect the Quranic depiction of the prophets. This study aims to examine the translation strategies applied by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem in translating the names of the twenty-five prophets in his 2004 English rendition of the Quran and how these translations maintain the intended meaning. The research employs a 'Function-Oriented' translation approach, which focuses on the socio-cultural function of translation within the recipient's context. Using Hermans' (1988) four strategies for translating proper names—pure borrowing, naturalization, adaptation, and literal translation—Abdel Haleem applies the naturalized strategy to nine prophet names and the adaptation strategy to sixteen names. These strategies enable the translation to remain culturally appropriate and intelligible for the target audience while still representing the Quranic names. The study highlights the cultural challenges inherent in translation, as understanding the names depends on the target culture, necessitating a shared cultural understanding between the translator and reader. This research contributes to translation practices by emphasizing the importance of balancing linguistic fidelity and cultural adaptation in religious texts.

Abstract

This study analyzes the cultural stereotypes presented in Disney’s Aladdin (1992), focusing on how the film represents Middle Eastern culture through characters, plot, setting, and themes. Using the theoretical framework of Stuart Hall’s representation theory, Richard Dyer’s concept of stereotypes, and Edward Said’s Orientalism, this research applies a qualitative descriptive method through film text analysis. The findings reveal that Aladdin contains strong elements of Orientalism, depicting Arab culture as exotic, irrational, and inferior compared to Western civilization. Characters such as Jafar, the Sultan, and even Aladdin himself are shaped through stereotypical lenses that reinforce Western cultural dominance. The film’s narrative and visual elements, from costume design, language, and setting to the theme of freedom versus control, perpetuate Western superiority while diminishing the cultural complexity of the Middle East. This study concludes that Aladdin not only entertains but also functions as a vehicle of cultural misrepresentation, shaping global perceptions of Arab identity.

Abstract

Anxiety manifests through excessive and uncontrolled emotions, as well as manipulative behavior. This is caused by intense internal and external conflicts. This study aims to show how films can represent the dynamics of the human psyche and broaden our understanding of the relationship between psychological trauma and anxiety disorder in fictional characters. Using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis approach, this study examines the things that can trigger neurotic anxiety in characters in films. The character Diane is not the main character in the film Run (2020), but she is at the center of all the problems that arise for the main character, Chloe. She is depicted as a very protective and impulsive mother towards her daughter, Chloe, who suffers from an illness that causes a disability. The theory used in this study is Freud's theory of personality structure, which includes the id, ego, and superego. This theory is used to analyze data obtained through observations of the script and film. The results of the study show that Diane's neurotic anxiety is triggered by the death of her biological baby and the fear of losing her mother figure, as well as a subconscious urge to act contrary to her reality as a mother.

Abstract

This research examines gender roles representation in the 2020 film Enola Holmes by analyzing the characterization of the main characters, Enola Holmes and Viscount Tewksbury. Using Stuart Hall’s (1997) theory of representation, this research explores how the film constructs, negotiates, or challenges traditional Victorian-era gender norms. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method supported by intrinsic and extrinsic approaches. The findings show that Enola is portrayed as an independent, intelligent, and courageous young woman who challenges the expectations placed on women in the Victorian era. Meanwhile, Tewksbury is depicted with a gentler and more expressive form of masculinity, which contrasts with dominant male stereotypes of the period. These representations indicate that the film introduces and constructs more flexible interpretations of gender identities and highlights the shifting meaning of gender roles through film. Accordingly, the main characters deviate from the gender role meaning in that era.
