Abstract

A good dynamic of parental involvement is needed in the child’s psychological development. Especially the father's involvement in the daughter’s life which can have lasting effects on how the daughter feels about herself, future choices, preferences, and how she feels about herself. Using psychosocial theory, this creative thesis highlights the effects of disengaged or emotionally unavailable fathers to a female young-adult in her early childhood. An absent father will result in the child’s psychological well-being as they feel insecure and not confident, as well as seeking for older partners later in life who can fulfill their emotional void they experienced during childhood. Through this screenplay, it is shown that a father's involvement in the child’s life is crucial to shape who the child will become in the future.

Abstract

This thesis and the screenplay written based on the research aims to illustrate how a parents’ act of divorce can severely impact their offspring’s perception of romantic relationships despite having reached the age of adulthood. In this creative work, Tania, the main protagonist, had to witness her parents who seemed perfectly happy together divorce when she was 19. Referring to the theory of relational trauma by Samantha L. Anders, this moment causes a deep trauma for Tania which becomes suppressed and unresolved during later parts of her life. The story emphasizes Tania's struggle towards healing; with healing being a decisional step centered on Tania herself. Thus, the creative work will place the major spotlight on Tania and how she finally has to confront aspects of her unresolved trauma when suddenly receiving a marriage proposal from her boyfriend.

Abstract

Doublespeak is a form of linguistic manipulation frequently employed by public officials to obscure truth, evade accountability, and distort reality. In the current post-truth era, where objective facts are often subordinate to political agendas and personal beliefs, this phenomenon has become increasingly prevalent in Indonesia. This article examines the use of doublespeak by Indonesian public officials in mass media statements and analyzes its relationship with the concept of post-truth and power dynamics. Using a schema of language analysis, this study investigates news coverage from major online media platforms regarding critical cases, including the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) project, the Rempang conflict, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings demonstrate that officials utilize various forms of doublespeak—primarily euphemism, jargon, and inflated language—to deny scientific evidence, shift responsibility, and frame political narratives. The study concludes that in Indonesia’s contemporary political landscape, doublespeak functions not merely as a rhetorical strategy but as a mechanism of governmentality designed to regulate societal behavior and maintain ideological supremacy in a society increasingly indifferent to absolute truth.

Abstract

The 1883 Krakatoa Eruption and the 1888 Geger Cilegon represent two pivotal events in the colonial history of the Banten region. Nevertheless, within colonial historiography, these occurrences are predominantly depicted through administrative archives that prioritize geological aspects and political stability, often marginalizing local communities’ social and cultural experiences. This omission creates a gap in historical narratives that not only impairs our comprehension of the past but also influences the consciousness of postcolonial generations raised amidst distorted archival records. This article examines the role of colonial archives in fostering historical ignorance and trauma transmitted across generations. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach and the frameworks of postcolonial theory, transgenerational trauma, and the social construction of history, this article explores the interplay between archives, historical silences, and the formation of collective memory. The analysis reveals that the exclusion of local voices from colonial archives is not neutral; rather, it serves as an epistemic mechanism that perpetuates this disconnection. These findings underscore that postcolonial historical trauma is not solely inherited through direct memory but also through narrative voids and the inability of subsequent generations to access their history fully. This article contributes to cultural history and postcolonial studies by identifying archival voids as active elements that shape historical consciousness and postcolonial identity in Indonesia.

Abstract

Post-Truth can be easily observed manifesting in the current era in various forms. False allegations serve as one form of this theory taking place, one which impact can be prominently seen today. This creative work, a screenplay of the crime genre, discusses this by using it as an ever present dread present in multiple aspects of the story. Alexander Nugraha is faced with a false allegations case rooted in Post-Truth, where he is constantly thwarted with other forms of Post-Truth in his city. It hinders his success in figuring out the case until he is forced to realize his reality and starts to see the world for what it is, full of Post-Truth and falsehoods. With this realization, Alexander is able to figure out the right path, solve the case, and defeat the Post-Truth problem in front of him.
