This paper explores the image of women in Chinua Achebe novel’s Things Fall Apart. As the prominent postcolonial writer, Achebe has a vivid expression describing the social cultural values of the Ibo community in Nigeria, Africa. Analysis of the novel is done through the perspective of postcolonial feminism. Postcolonial feminism finds the relation and intersection between Postcolonialism and feminism. This interplay is interesting to observe. The findings show that in traditional patriarchal culture as in the novel, women are portrayed happy, harmonious members of the community, even when they are repeatedly beaten and barren from any say in the communal decision-making process and constantly reviled in sayings and proverbs. However some other interesting findings are that the women also have big role in the belief system of the community, and in Achebe’s novel he made it an amusement, for example by punishing Okonkwo because of his beating to his wife in the sacred time.

This article aims at comparing the ideas of power relation between themain female character and ―Mother‖ in Arthur Golden‘s Memoirs ofGeisha and Ahmad Tohari‘s The Dancer. These two novels share thesame main female character of traditional entertainers, as a Japanese geisha and a Javanese traditional dancer, respectively. As an entertainer in the traditional sphere, they are bounded with the other women and build close interaction as well as power relation with them who are called ―Mother‖ in the Geisha and ―ronggeng shaman‖ in The Dancer. Thepower relation between them are unique and dynamics. This is analyzed through Foucault‘s theory of power. The result of the analysis shows that the power relation is not stable, and the power practiced by each of them is influenced by the symbolic capital and economic capital they have. The negotiation and contestation come up between the actors in dailypractices as geisha and the mother, as the ―ronggeng‖ and the shaman. As the entertainers, the geisha and ―ronggeng‖ build and shape their body and performance to attract men. This geisha and ronggeng culture reproduce many other cultural product such as ―mizuage‖ in geisha, and ―bukak klambu‖ in ―ronggeng‖ both of which refer to the same thing, selling the woman‘s virginity to the highest bidder. In geisha it is used to benefit the Mother of Okiya and no rebellion of the geisha. On the other hand, Srintil does rebellious action in this ―bukak klambu‖ occasion. There seems to be different message from these two novels, The Dancer is much more questioning the norms covering the ―ronggeng‖ tradition while the Memoirs of Geisha tends to be accepting the geisha tradition as what it is.Keywords: Power Relation; Geisha ; Ronggeng ; Norms

Women resistance has become an important issue because the oppressive and hierarchical patriarchal culture has harmed women’s rights. This study aims to discuss women's cultural resistance represented in a literary work. This study uses a literary criticism approach to reach the goal by applying Naomi Wolf's feminist theory and James C. Scott's resistance theory. The data source for this research is a novel written by a female writer, Aprilia Wahyuni, entitled "Hikayat Puti Limau Manih: Singa Betina Rimbo Hulu." The research results show that the female character in this novel, namely Puti and her friends, is carrying out resistance against patriarchal culture. The resistance is classified into open and closed resistance. An example of open resistance can be seen in Puti's attitude in negotiating her rights as a woman, fighting for their rights to choose partners, teaching women, and against sexual harassment, as well as resisting against the colonial Japan. Closed resistance, for example, was shown by Puti’s resistance to bow, a symbol of respect, to Japanese army. Resistensi perempuan merupakan isu penting dalam riset karena budaya patriarki yang menindas dan hirarkis telah banyak merugikan dan merampas hak perempuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas resistensi kultural perempuan yang dinarasikan dalam novel. Untuk mencapai tujuan di atas, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kritik sastra dengan menerapkan teori feminisme Naomi Wolf dan teori resistensi James C. Scott. Sumber data penelitian ini adalah novel yang ditulis oleh penulis perempuan, Aprilia Wahyuni, yang berjudul “Hikayat Puti Limau Manih: Singa Betina Rimbo Hulu.” Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tokoh perempuan dalam novel ini, yaitu Puti bersama teman-temannya melakukan resistensi terhadap budaya yang patriarki. Resistensi tersebut diklasifikasikan menjadi resistensi terbuka dan tertutup. Resistensi terbuka misalnya, dapat dilihat pada sikap Puti yang menegosiasikan hak sebagai perempuan, memperjuangkan haknya dalam memilih pasangan, mengajar para perempuan, dan melawan pelecehan seksual, serta perlawanan yang dilakukan oleh perempuan bersama para pemuda terhadap penjajah Jepang. Resistensi tertutup misalnya, ditunjukkan oleh sikap Puti yang menolak untuk menunduk memberi penghormatan terhadap tentara Jepang.

This study discusses an advertising video of “MS Glow for Men” starring Babe Cabita and Marshel, which is intended as an encouragement for people to promote self-acceptance and break the myth of beauty of light skin and a perfect body. This study aims to answer the questions of how advertising was created, distributed, consumed, or perceived by the public and seek the explanation of how the body image represented in MS Glow for Men advertising. The researchers answer the question by applying Stuart Hall’s framework of the circuit of culture that covers five aspects: regulation, production, identity, consumption, and representation. The study shows that the advertising contains a message that the standardization of beauty should cover all types of body image and physical appearance by representing the idea that anyone can become an ambassador of the beauty brand just like Babe Capita and Marshal. The visual text shows that the advertisement influences the audience in building a perception of the ‘beauty’ through the visual image of the advertisement which presents a more realistic notion of beauty.

This research aims to get the understanding of the representation and dynamics of gendered power relation in the film "Death on the Nile" (2022), by focusing on the social roles and norms that influence the gender relation among characters. The research applies Faircloughâ€™s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) which enables us to go deeper on the power relation of the characters. The CDA framework consists of the comprehensive analysis, from the micro (text), mezzo (production), and macro (social context) analysis that can be applied in analysis of the film. The results show that gendered power relations in this film are depicted through the power in marriage relationship, where the concepts of control and ownership reflect the social norms of the society. Power in love relationship also play an important role in relationship dynamics, highlighting how strong feelings and dependency can influence the social practice. In addition, power in parent-children relationship can continue even after children become adults. These findings provide a foundation for further research on the representation of gender-based power relations in film, taking into account the other aspects such as the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence gender representation.

The policies of the Chinese and Russian colonizers on cross-marriage between Turkistan women and Chinese soldiers and merchants created separate social problems for the Turkistan people. Therefore, this study uses the tools of sociology of literature to dismantle prophetic aesthetics in the novel Layali Turkistan. This study tries to describe the prophetic aesthetics in the novel Layali Turkistan by Najib Kailani with the tools of literary sociology. The main focus of this research is to dismantle the process of dehumanization that occurred to the Turkistani people as a result of the Chinese and Russian communist invaders. The process of dehumanization creates a prophetic aesthetic in the form of humanization, liberation, and transcendence for the Turkmen people. This study used the descriptive-qualitative method. This method is used because the source of research data is in the form of textual data consisting of dialogs and statements in material objects. The results of this study show that, first, the humanization value is embodied by the character Naghmatullail by marrying the Chinese commander according to Islamic law, so that Naghmah easily instills humanistic values. Second, King Komul's decision to oppose and combat Chinese communist policies is a form of aesthetic liberation for the people of Turkistan. Third, when King Komul explains the essence of heaven, the divine consciousness is deeply embedded in the person of the Turkistan people.
