Abstract

This research aims to analyse gender differences between men and women in Barbie film by using Roland Barthes’(1968 & 1972) theory of semiotics signs which are classified into denotation, connotation, and myth. This research used a descriptive qualitative method where the data taken from the scenes and the dialogues from the film. The scenes are examples of non-verbal signs while the dialogues are examples of verbal signs. Furthermore, the research is also supported by theory of gender performativity from Judith Butler (1999). Performativity is a repetitive act as a human (men or women) to present themselves. Through 20 instances, the result of this study explores the gender differences conveyed by physical appearance, activities, roles, and characteristics of women and man characters in Barbie film. From a semiotics lens, the result of this study sheds light on the way gender stereotypes are represented in modern youth-oriented film and highlight how visual representation, cultural narratives, and gender identity interact in popular media.

Abstract

The use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has created a gray area between legitimate language support and academic misconduct, especially in the case of foreign language programs where the linguistic form of the response is the assessed competence. This study investigated the perceptions, applications and justifications of GenAI among Indonesian students of German, using a mixed-methods approach. An explanatory sequential design combined a survey of 264 students of four German education programs with individual interviews of 14 students. A subset of language-related tasks and using GenAI to perform so-called three gap tasks (most notably translating their own Indonesian drafts into German) were widely accepted as legitimate language support, whereas using GenAI for entire assessments was condemned. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the neutralization theory, attitudes, perceived norms and perceived behavioral control (PBC) explained 53.8% of the intention to use GenAI, which in turn predicted reported engagement in questionable practice. Students believed it was ethically acceptable to use GenAI to produce the text in German if the content was in Indonesian because they had very limited ability in German. Overall, the findings show that programs with students at varying proficiency levels should use task-specific AI filters, and teach AI literacy to support process-based assessments and language learning.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has not only revolutionized humanity's material life but also prompted deep philosophical reflection on the ontological boundaries of the human. The science fiction film The Creator (2023), directed by Gareth Edwards, presents a complex narrative of conflict between humankind and AI entities. This study aims to analyze the representation of AI in the film using the framework of posthumanism. It employs a descriptive qualitative method with a film semiotics approach and critical discourse analysis. The analysis shows that The Creator deconstructs the rigid human–machine dichotomy. AI in the film is no longer represented as a cold mechanistic entity; instead, it possesses emotion, spirituality, and the capacity to create (to produce life), moving beyond the biological boundaries of the human. From the posthumanist perspectives of Braidotti and Hayles, the film represents a shift from anthropocentrism toward distributed subjectivity, in which the boundary between the organic and the synthetic becomes fluid. In conclusion, The Creatorfunctions as a critical allegory that questions human superiority and offers a posthuman vision in which coexistence and hybridization become an evolutionary necessity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of Generation Z in contemporary English-language novels using a sociology of literature approach. Generation Z refers to individuals born between 1997 and 2012 who have grown up in a digital era characterized by rapid technological advancement, social media expansion, globalization, and shifting social values. The research focuses on several contemporary novels featuring adolescent and young adult characters, namely The Hate U Giveby Angie Thomas, Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, Normal People by Sally Rooney, and Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by Joya Goffney. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis techniques. The data consist of narratives, dialogues, and character actions reflecting Generation Z characteristics. The findings reveal that the representation of Generation Z in these novels is characterized by five major aspects: digital identity, social and political awareness, mental health concerns, identity diversity, and self-discovery in a complex society. Contemporary English-language novels not only portray the lived experiences of Generation Z but also function as a medium for reflecting on social transformations occurring in the digital age. Therefore, literature serves both as a mirror and a critique of contemporary social realities experienced by young people.

Abstract

Mental health has become a crucial issue in the modern era, and literature often functions as a medium that represents the complexity of such psychological experiences. This study aims to analyze the representation of mental health in the main character, Nora Seed, in Matt Haig's novel The Midnight Library. Using a descriptive qualitative approach within the framework of literary psychology and Viktor E. Frankl's Logotherapy, this study examines how depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation are represented through the narrative, and how the search for meaning in life restores the character's psychological condition. The analysis shows that the novel represents mental disorder not merely as a biological pathology but as an existential crisis arising from accumulated regret and hopelessness. The Midnight Library functions as a metaphor for a liminal space and a coping mechanism that allows Nora to explore alternative lives. Through the process of Logotherapy-from existential vacuum and the will to meaning to freedom of will-Nora ultimately realizes that the meaning of life lies in accepting imperfection and having the courage to keep living. In conclusion, the novel offers a humanistic narrative of recovery, emphasizing that finding meaning in suffering is key to mental health intervention.
