Abstract

There have been several significant changes in children’s literature in the past few decades; one of them is the change in the narative style. Roald Dahl is one of the most prominent authors of children’s literature that displays this particular change in his works. Dahl is known to utilize a creative narrative style in his works, and this is also seen in one of his children’s novels discussed in this research: The BFG (1982). This research thus aims at analysing one part of the narrative structure called external evaluation which shows the function of narrator in the story as well as the effects of the use of such narrative style on children as the target readers. Using Labov’s theory of narative structure and Genette’s theory of narratology, the results of the analysis shows that Dahl utilizes the function of narrator in the external evaluations to help children as his target readers to get a better understanding of the story as well as to build a close connection with them, resulting in the more enjoyable reading experience for the children.

Abstract

Adultery is a novel written by Paulo Coelho which focuses on the story of a woman named Linda, who seems to have everything in her life. However, her perfect life seems to bore her and drive her to the brink of depression. Linda then gets involved in an affair to end her boredom. At the end of the story, Linda realizes that boredom is something which will always be a part of human’s life, and mere adventures also distraction cannot abolish it. The only thing that one can do is to live their life the way it is with passion. This research analyzes the narrative techniques used in the novel based on Eastman’s theory of narrative techniques, which include point of view, time and tempo, style, and distance. This theory will measure the distance between the readers and the story/the protagonist as well as the ability of the author in delivering the message through the very techniques he has chosen. The novel has been discussed mostly in the light of the psychological condition of the protagonist or the portrayal of the female protagonist while this research focuses specifically on the narrative techniques used by Coelho in delivering his message as the author of the novel using formalism approach. At the end of this research, it can be concluded that Coelho has successfully managed to deliver his idea about boredom and passion – which are inevitable in human’s life – through the very narrative techniques he has chosen.

Abstract

United Colors of Benetton, or UCB, has been using its advertisements to deliver positive messages and values that the clothing company represents. This article analyzes one of the photographs in Benetton’s campaign for their Spring Summer Collection of 2018. The campaign, which consists of some photographs by Oliviero Toscani, raises the theme of equality of gender and ethnicity. It shows various photographs of both female and male models from different ethnicities. However, it is found that there is one photograph that shows inconsistency with the very value that Benetton wants to convey through their campaign. Based on the semiotic analysis, the study shows that the photograph can be read as having an entirely different message that the company intends to voice. This article proves that multiple interpretations can be applied to a text, and a text can betray itself.

Abstract

Beauty is often perceived as a neutral concept; however, perceptions of beauty vary across different societies. In Indonesia, for instance, beauty is frequently associated with having fair skin and a slim physique. Consequently, women who do not meet these criteria are often deemed unattractive. Furthermore, beauty is commonly linked to a woman's success. This issue is critically examined in the 2019 film in Ernest Prakasa, Imperfect: Karier, Cinta & Timbangan, which centers on the life of a young woman named Rara, who is depicted as dark-skinned and slightly overweight. The societal pressures she faces to conform to prevailing beauty standards in pursuit of her dreams highlight the problematic nature of these standards. Additionally, the film portrays how even characters like Lulu and Debby, who fit the conventional beauty mold, are not immune to criticism. This study aims to explore the problematic nature of beauty standards and their impact on women, employing Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital and symbolic violence. The research concludes that beauty standards create unfair situations for women, perpetuating unattainable ideals that disproportionately affect them.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of woman against sexual violence in Photocopier, an Indonesian film directed by Wregas Bhanuteja. In film, women as sexual violence victims are often misrepresented through stereotyping as the helpless victims who need men’s help to deal with the situation or showing extreme violence against their perpetrators to exact revenge. If not stereotyped, women as sexual violence victims also tend to be fetishized as their victimized body often sexualized for erotic pleasures. In its protagonist, Sur, Photocopier took different approach by representing the victim as a woman with powers to fight against the sexual violence she experienced. This study focuses in examining how Sur exerts her powers and how those powers impacted the sexual violence case that she experienced. The study is conducted qualitatively using content analysis method which examines the visual aspects as well as dialogues from the film and applying Amy Allen’s theory of feminist power relation. The analysis identifies that Suryani possesses and exercises all three types of feminist power posed by Allen, which are “power-to,” “power-over,” and “power-with,” as a sexual violence victim. The study reveals that while the film tries to represent Sur as a powerful woman, she is also adjacently represented as a stereotypical powerless sexual violence victim who is helpless to fight against her perpetrators even after exercising all her powers both personally and collectively. However, such stereotypical representation may be necessary to show the reality of sexual violence victims and as a form of criticism against the mishandling of sexual violence case.
