Abstract

This research examines the conflicts experienced by the main character, Angel, in a novel entitled Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, using a psychoanalytic approach grounded in Sigmund Freud’s theory of the id, ego, and superego (1923). The study aims to identify and classify the psychoanalytic elements within the narrative and analyze their implications on character development. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the data for this research was collected from the scripts in the novel and then classified based on Freud’s theory as the foundation to analyze the conversations found in the scripts. The findings showed that Angel’s past experiences have shaped her into a woman who finds it difficult to trust others, particularly in romantic relationships with man. The relationship between Michael and Angel as well as Michael Hosea’s strong ego play. Crucial roles in mediating these conflicts are providing Angel with the love and support necessary for healing. These findings demonstrate that understanding the psychoanalytic elements offers deeper insights into the characters’ emotional struggles and their journeys toward self-acceptance and redemption.

Abstract

This study examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) mediates the production and circulation of folklore in Turkey and Indonesia and asks: How does AI mediate folklore production and circulation in both contexts? And What similarities and differences characterize AI–folklore interaction from a sociological perspective? Using a qualitative comparative cultural sociology design, the analysis draws on Turkish sociological theory, Ziya Gokalp’s concept of halk kültürü and Şerif Mardin’s center–periphery framework alongside documentary and digital ethnographic observation of publicly accessible folklore texts, AI-mediated outputs (retellings, translations, summaries), and platform-based circulation. Findings show that AI mediates folklore production through textual regeneration, translation, narrative standardization, and platform-oriented adaptation, while circulation is shaped by recommendation, tagging, ranking, and translation interfaces that regulate visibility, dissemination, and the dominance of particular versions. Although both countries experience algorithmic pressures on cultural memory and narrative visibility, impacts diverge by context: Turkey’s institutionally anchored cultural authority tends to constrain AI toward selective continuity, whereas Indonesia’s pluralistic and decentralized landscape allows AI and platforms to operate as stronger cultural gatekeepers, enabling more transformative reinterpretations. Overall, the study concludes that AI is a structural cultural mediator whose sociological effects are context-dependent, amplifying existing power relations rather than uniformly transforming folklore.

Abstract

This community service project aimed to improve reading literacy and character education among elementary students through the integration of Minahasan folktales and the digital platform Qreatif.id. Conducted at SD Katolik St. Nikolaus Talawaan, North Minahasa, the program adopted a participatory and descriptive approach involving 20 third-grade students and three teachers. The activities combined guided reading sessions using local folktales and digital literacy training through Qreatif.id. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and reflective interviews, and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed significant improvements in students’ reading fluency, comprehension, moral reasoning, and motivation. The number of fluent readers increased from 20% to 75%, comprehension accuracy rose to 85%, and moral understanding improved by over 50%. Teachers also demonstrated greater confidence in integrating digital media into instruction. This study concludes that combining local cultural materials with digital platforms provides an effective, contextualized, and engaging model for literacy learning while promoting cultural preservation and 21st-century digital competencies.
