More specifically, this study explores how and to what extent these opinions and attitudes are reflected in their classroom applications. Data were collected from 31 teachers of English Department at one of universities in Indonesia using questionnaire, interview, and observation.

Abstract

This research aims to see how Mariam as the main character in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns can defend herself against the conflicts she faced. Khaled created the character of Mariam to support the storylines, which actually focuses on showing the war conditions in Afghanistan around the 1970s. The research uses psychoanalysis approach and Freud's defense mechanism theory to analyze Mariam's personality and see how she can survive all the conflicts. This is also use qualitative method to analyze the data. The data is taken from the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini itself by looking at the text, narration, conversation, plot and setting in the story. Thus, the result of this research indicate that there are several conflicts faced by Mariam, namely social conflict where she is not accepted in the society because of her status as an illegitimate child, conflict with her mother who regrets giving birth to her, conflict with her husband who commits domestic violence and also remarry and conflict with herself where she often blamed herself for all the bad things in her life. In dealing with some of the conflicts above, the researcher found that Mariam overcomes her anxiety and fear problems using defense mechanisms including; repression, reaction formation, denial, displacement, projection, rationalization, undoing, and fantasy. Those defense mechanisms keep her alive and accept the fate that God had been gave to her.

Abstract

This study delves into the users’ state of mind with regard to the use of online platforms for educational purposes, specifically in the context of higher education. The purpose of this study, which employs a survey method, is to investigate how students perceive online teaching and learning in higher education and contribute to the growing collaboration between higher education researchers studying 21st-century learning concepts and Indonesian universities, which are increasingly implementing online teaching and learning. This study analyses various significant problems, including the process of online teaching and learning at universities, the difficulties of its implementation, and the users’ perceptions and attitudes towards the implementation of online teaching and learning. Overall, it is found that both students and lecturers prefer offline, face-to-face interaction in class rather than the online system. It is possible to state that both the lecturers and the students who have been attached to the conventional method of instruction and learning process are not prepared for the shift from offline to online learning. Even though online learning has been implemented, there is still a lack of consensus on the best practices for an effective online classroom. In addition to this, the fact that the institution does impose any fixed regulation also plays an important role in this. Keywords: State of Mind, Online Teaching and Learning, Higher Education

Abstract

This research examines the representation of postfeminist values in the 2014 animated film Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy. The objective is to explore how the film’s dialogues portray postfeminist values through the characters and narrative. Using a descriptive qualitative method and feminist literary criticism, the study applies the postfeminist theoretical framework proposed by Rosalind Gill. The analysis focuses on five key values: empowerment, individualism and choice, redefinition of gender roles, collaboration and solidarity, and resistance to patriarchal structures. The findings reveal that the film presents female characters, especially Zarina and Tinker Bell, as intelligent, independent, and emotionally expressive figures who challenge traditional gender norms. However, the representation of empowerment remains tied to neoliberal ideals, where success is achieved through personal effort rather than structural change. This research contributes to feminist media analysis and offers insight into how children’s animated films embed ideological messages about gender and identity.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the reflection of social values using the analysis of Sociology of Literature under the character of Frederick Wentworth in Persuasion by Jane Austen. This study was a qualitative descriptive study using the approach of Sociology of Literature. The data was collected through note-taking method which was primary obtained from the novel of Jane Austen Persuasion. It was then analysed using the sociology of literature by only focusing on the sociology of the work aspect. The results of the study showed that there were discriminations and judgements towards the character of Frederick due to his social status. However, Frederick's character who was dealing with a society that prioritised great importance on social status was not affected by the assessment directed at him. The character of Frederick has reflected the value of social, such as tolerating and dedicating as the opposition of values that he had to receive. Hence, the judgement which emerged had no bad influence at all in the development of his character.

Abstract

Enola Holmes 2, a film set in the Victorian era, portrays these inequalities through its female characters who face an environment full of gender-based restrictions. This article focuses on three main characters—Enola Holmes, Sarah Chapman, and Mira Troy—analyzing how their experiences reflect various aspects of gender inequality that have persisted over time. This study analyzes gender inequality in Jack Thorne’s Enola Holmes 2 through the lens of Fakih’s theory, which identifies five manifestations of gender inequality: stereotypes, subordination, marginalization, violence, and double workload. The research applies feminist literary criticism, focusing on the socio-economic conditions and experiences of women, while also linking the findings to the reality of women in the Victorian era. Using a qualitative method, the study examines the dialogues and interactions of the three female characters in the film—Enola Holmes, Sarah Chapman, and Mira Troy—as representations of women who experience gender inequality. From the analysis, 16 instances of gender inequality were identified, illustrating the challenges faced by women during both the Victorian era and in the context of the film’s narrative. These findings reveal how gender inequality persists and is reflected in the experiences of the female characters, highlighting its continued relevance in both historical and modern contexts.

Abstract

This study examines fanaticism as reflected in the characters of Rainbow Rowell’s novel Fangirl, focusing on fanatical behavior and its underlying factors. Using a psychological approach to literary analysis, the study applies theories of fanaticism along with Freud’s motivation theory, to analyze the mental and emotional processes of the characters, particularly Cath Avery as a devoted fan of Simon Snow. The analysis reveals that fanaticism in the novel is characterized by obsessive attachment, emotional investment, and actions driven by an idealized perception of fictional narratives. Psychological needs such as escapism, validation, and identity formation significantly contribute to this behavior, while subconscious desires and past experiences further shape the characters’ deep devotion. These findings offer insights into the psychological foundations of fanaticism in literature, illustrating how fictional works influence individual behavior and motivation. This study enhances the understanding of the intersection between psychology and literature, emphasizing how literary characters reflect real-life psychological tendencies.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze feminist values in the film Suffragette (2015) through the lens of liberal feminism using Mary Wollstonecraft’s theory. Employing a qualitative method, the researcher examines dialogues, character actions, and the film’s script to interpret the representation of women's roles, resistance, and struggle for equality in a patriarchal society. The study uses a sociology of literature approach, positioning the film as a reflection of historical and socio-cultural realities. The analysis focuses on how liberal feminist ideals—particularly Equal Liberty, Gender Justice, and Mono-Androgyny—are embedded in the narrative and character development. From 15 selected scenes, 6 reflect Equal Liberty, showing the characters’ demands for equal political rights and participation. Seven scenes demonstrate Gender Justice, highlighting women's fight against discrimination in wages, work, and societal norms. Two scenes portray Mono-Androgyny, depicting women who transcend traditional gender roles and assert their autonomy. The findings suggest that Suffragette effectively visualizes the core principles of liberal feminism, especially those advocated by Wollstonecraft, by showing women's pursuit of fairness, independence, and legal recognition. This research offers a fresh perspective on feminist film analysis and underscores the continuing relevance of liberal feminist values in both historical and contemporary contexts.
