Abstract

This research aims to analyze the form of emotional expression found in Victoria Chang’s poem collection With My Back to The World and to understand how Chang incorporates art of emotional catharsis. Using Aristotle’s theory of catharsis and Freud’s psychoanalytic approach, the research highlights how deep emotional experiences such as loss, alienation, trauma, and sorrow are transformed into creative expression. Chang’s poems are filled with visual imagery and metaphors that reflect inner conflict and silence, as seen in lines like “I painted silence” and “I turned my back to the world”. The research applies a qualitative descriptive that demonstrates Chang’s work conveys personal pain and creates a reflective space for readers. Her creative process illustrates how art can serve as a means to express emotions that are difficult to articulate verbally, while also offering psychological healing for both the poet and the audience. Therefore, Chang’s poetry can be understood as a medium through which traumatic experiences are processed and reimagined, positioning art as a powerful tool in the journey of emotional recovery.

Abstract

The research employed Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis and Kuravati & Malipati theory, and Ang & Lockwood’s classification of apathy to analyse the apathetic behaviour of the main character in Jersey Girl (2004) by Kevin Smith. The purpose of the study is to determine the types of apathetic behaviour, their causal factors, and their effects on the main character’s interactions. The research is descriptive qualitative, and the data source is the script of the 2004 film Jersey Girl. The findings reveal that three categories of apathetic behaviour: eight data of social apathy, three data of behavioural apathy, and two data of emotional apathy. Profound grief due to job loss and the death of a spouse were identified as the main cause of apathy. Based on Freud’s psychoanalytical analysis, two personality components influence apathy behaviour: the ego (12 data) and the id (1 data), the ego being the most dominant. Apathetic behaviour affects the main character in several ways, including decreased social interest, reduced motivation, difficulty in building new relationships, and loss of emotional control. It was expected that the study in which, particularly character analysis is appropriate through psychoanalytic approach.
