Abstract

This research aims to show that women can dominate the story as seen in Negley’s picture book (2019) Mary Wears What She Wants. The theory used in this research is the theory of representation by Stuart Hall (1997). Besides, Barthes’ semiotic  theory (1957, 1968) is utilized to reveal the meaning of verbal and visual data in Negley’s picture book. This research is qualitative in its nature in which the data are the verbal as well as the visual texts of the picture book under study.  The finding of this research shows that the picture book under scrutiny represents inequality of gender rather than equality which highlight the inequality of women and men in the Victorian society. Another finding reveals that liberal feminism is represented through the main character, Mary. Mary dares to take risks to choose and decide the best for women, as she thinks that women have the rights to do anything they want without hesitation and with no limitation. This research also reveals that Mary uses her power to voice and to make changes impacting to women in her time. Because of her strive and determination, to date women have the bravery and power to do anything they want.

Abstract

All literary creations are engaged with ideology because a literary creator always comes with an ideology. This research aims to identify the shift of ideology of patriarchy in the Cinderella fairy tale by Charles Perrault into feminism in the movie by Kay Cannon. The research method utilized is descriptive qualitative, and the data consists of narrative text from the fairy tale and visual scenes from the movie adaptation. The data is then compared and analyzed using Barthes' semiotics theory. In addition, through the shift of the ideologies, the motives of the adaptation are uncovered based on Hutcheon's theory of adaptation. The novelty of this research lies in the theory of adaptation utilized in the study. The findings show the ideology portrayed in the fairy tale is patriarchy, which is displayed in the characterization of Cinderella's subservience and the plot's resolution, which emphasizes male primogeniture. Conversely, the movie adaptation shows liberal feminism depicted by Cinderella and Gwen, the original characters of the movie, portraying their respective endeavor to achieve equality in economic and political spheres. The movie's resolution depicts liberal feminist ideals, in which the king acknowledges and appoints Gwen to rule the kingdom. The motives concluded from the ideologies include cultural capital and personal and political motives. The cultural capital motive highlights the value of adaptation work that utilizes patriarchy and feminism as cultural phenomena ingrained in society. The second motive, personal and political, emphasizes the adaptor, Kay Cannon's agenda on female empowerment, represented by Cinderella and Gwen.
