Abstract

Japanese language learners at Universitas Andalas face significant challenges in achieving oral proficiency, particularly spontaneous speaking fluency and confidence. To address this, the present study investigates the implementation of the ippunkan supīchi (one-minute speech) method in Japanese kaiwa (conversation) courses. This quantitative and qualitative study utilized a questionnaire to evaluate student perceptions across ten key indicators of speaking competence, administered to 34 Japanese literature students who practiced weekly one-minute speeches for seven consecutive weeks. Results demonstrated unanimous improvement in confidence and spontaneous speaking ability (100%), with 85.3%–94.1% of participants reporting enhanced vocabulary retention, grammatical accuracy, reduced speaking anxiety, and faster response times. The findings substantiate the method's efficacy in fostering cognitive processing efficiency (e.g., lexical retrieval) and affective outcomes (e.g., self-efficacy) in L2 Japanese speakers. This study contributes empirical evidence for task-based language teaching approaches that combine time constraints with repetitive practice to optimize speaking proficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the psychological aspects of the main character in Eiji Yoshikawa’s novel Musashi, using Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory. Using qualitative descriptive methods and a literary psychology approach, this study analyses how Musashi’s life struggles illustrate his efforts to fulfil the five levels of human needs, namely physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. The results show that Musashi’s character development is a complex and gradual process, beginning with his efforts to survive physically after the war, his search for moral purpose through the guidance of Takuan Soho, his inner conflict regarding his relationship with Otsu, and concluding with his search for recognition through the battles he fought. The culmination of this achievement is when Musashi realizes that the true victory is not defeating opponents but controlling oneself. This understanding underwent a comprehensive psychological change in line with the fulfilment of needs at each level of Maslow’s hierarchy. With a literary psychology approach, Musashi is not only understood as a story revolving around battle and honour, but also as an existential narrative about a person struggling to achieve self-recognition. This research offers a deeper insight into the relationship between psychology and literature, demonstrating that fictional characters created by authors can illustrate the dynamics of personality that humans also experience in general.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of faith conflict experienced by Kakure Kirishitan as depicted in Martin Scorsese's film Silence (2017), which portrays the persecution of Catholic Christians in seventeenth-century Japan during the Tokugawa period. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, this research applies intrinsic literary analysis—particularly literary psychology—to explore the inner conflicts of three Catholic priests: Cristóvão Ferreira, Sebastião Rodrigues, and Francisco Garupe. An analysis of mise-en-scène complements the study to evaluate how cinematographic elements such as lighting, costume, and acting construct a historical atmosphere of religious oppression. The findings reveal distinct responses to faith conflict among the three priests. Ferreira and Rodrigues experience profound moral dilemmas between preserving doctrinal integrity and saving the lives of persecuted converts, ultimately choosing apostasy while maintaining their faith secretly as Kakure Kirishitan. In contrast, Garupe remains steadfast in his beliefs and decides to martyr himself. His analysis demonstrates that inner conflict is central to the narrative, shaped by guilt, the silence of God, and ethical responsibility toward others. Furthermore, cinematographic techniques effectively reinforce psychological tension and historical realism, strengthening the film's role as a medium of historical memory. This study contributes to literary-historical and film studies by illustrating how cinematic adaptations of historical narratives function as critical reflections on faith, power, and resistance under religious persecution.

Abstract

 Abstract This research analyzes the consumption dynamics of the light novel Tsurune: Kazemai Kōkō Kyūdō- bu by Kotoko Ayano using Robert Escarpit's sociology of literature theory, focusing specifically on the consumption stage. The study employs a qualitative-descriptive method, with data collected from online forums such as Reddit and MyAnimeList, the social media platform Twitter/X, and official merchandise catalogs from Kyoto Animation Shop. The findings reveal three main forms of consumption. First, text consumption occurs actively through discussions, comparisons, and collective interpretation in fan communities, expanding Escarpit's concept of consumption as social activity toward co-organization and anticipation. Second, visual consumption through anime and film adaptations serves as a driver, triggering comparative patterns and backward consumption, which means watching the anime first, then reading the light novel, as well as anticipatory behavior such as monitoring publisher announcements. Third, material consumption, reflected in merchandise purchases ranging from keychains to Blu‑ray boxes, goes beyond economic function to operate as identity markers, emotional investments, and scarce, valuable goods. Limited geographical access also creates a hierarchical status among global fans. This research demonstrates that Escarpit's theory of consumption remains relevant in the digital era, while also showing how active and collective consumption drives economic circulation and extends the life cycle of literary works through derivative products. Keywords: Japanese popular literature, sociology of literature, Robert Escarpit, Tsurune, consumption.   Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis dinamika konsumsi light novel Tsurune: Kazemai Kōkō Kyūdō-bu karya Kotoko Ayano menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi sastra Robert Escarpit, dengan fokus pada tahap konsumsi. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif-deskriptif dengan data yang dikumpulkan dari forum daring seperti Reddit dan MyAnimeList, media sosial Twitter/X, serta katalog merchandise resmi dari Kyoto Animation Shop. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan tiga bentuk konsumsi utama. Pertama, konsumsi teks berlangsung secara aktif melalui diskusi, perbandingan, dan interpretasi kolektif di komunitas penggemar, yang memperluas konsep Escarpit tentang konsumsi sebagai aktivitas sosial ke arah pengorganisasian bersama dan sikap menanti-nanti. Kedua, konsumsi visual melalui adaptasi anime dan film berfungsi sebagai pendorong yang memicu pola komparatif dan backward consumption, yaitu menonton anime terlebih dahulu lalu membaca light novel, serta perilaku antisipatif seperti memantau pengumuman penerbit. Ketiga, konsumsi budaya material yang tercermin dari pembelian merchandise mulai dari gantungan kunci hingga Blu-ray yang habis terjual, melampaui fungsi ekonomi semata dan beroperasi sebagai penanda identitas, investasi emosional, serta barang langka yang bernilai jual. Akses geografis yang terbatas turut menciptakan tingkatan status di antara penggemar global. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa teori konsumsi Escarpit masih relevan di era digital, sekaligus memperlihatkan bagaimana konsumsi yang aktif dan kolektif mampu menggerakkan perputaran ekonomi dan memperpanjang siklus hidup karya sastra melalui produk-produk turunannya.

Abstract

This article explores an alternative family narrative in the Japanese film Manbiki no Kazoku (Shoplifters, 2018) by Hirokazu Koreeda. This film portrays a group of marginalized individuals living together as a family despite lacking legal marriage and blood ties. Through an analysis of the film's narrative, this research examines how the alternative family dynamic is presented in Manbiki no Kazoku. Using a literary sociology approach, the analysis applies social exclusion theory to contextualize the Shibata family’s marginalization within broader issues of poverty, neglect, and precarity in contemporary Japanese society. The results reveal that Koreda’s narrative challenges conventional Japanese kinship structures by presenting a “chosen family” that fulfills essential functions of emotional support and socialization. The film shows how the idea of an alternative family grows out of the characters’ experience of social exclusion. Unlike the Japanese Ie system and nuclear family, which depend on blood ties and legal marriage for legitimacy, the Shibata family comes through shared experience and solidarity of individuals living on the margin of society. By situating the film within debates on social exclusion and the transformation of family in modern Japan, the study demonstrates that Manbiki no Kazoku (Shoplifters) redefines family as a flexible institution grounded in solidarity and mutual responsibility, offering a narrative as a form of negotiation to face the social problems in Japanese society.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji konstruksi ironi dalam novel Yellowface karya R.F. Kuang. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif , penelitian ini menerapkan kerangka naratologi Gérard Genette (order, duration, frequency, mood, dan voice) yang dikombinasikan dengan konsep implied author dari Wayne C. Booth. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membongkar bagaimana strategi naratif digunakan untuk membangun ironi dan menciptakan jarak kritis. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kelima aspek naratologi Genette secara sistematis digunakan untuk mengekspos narator, June Hayward, sebagai narator yang tidak dapat dipercaya (unreliable narrator). Setiap upaya justifikasi dirinya justru mengungkap kontradiksi. Jarak ironis yang tercipta antara narator dan implied author inilah yang berfungsi sebagai mekanisme utama untuk menyampaikan kritik etis terhadap praktik apropriasi budaya, logika kapitalistik industri penerbitan, serta komodifikasi identitas dan trauma
