Abstract

Goldilocks and The Bear is a novel transformed from The Story of the Three Bears and Aladdin and Magic Lamp fairy tales. The novel presents a non-linear plot since it mixed up the plot and characters from those fairy tales as its hypo-grams. The process of the mixture is surely not merely innovation, but it has a politic code appeared in it. This study is investigating the transformation the fairy tales into the novel, and entails the political code behind it. Hutcheon’s concept of poetics and politics of postmodernism is used to display the novel through its double sides; its structure (as well as its contexts) and ideological sphere. This study suggests that the novel is using and distorting in the fairy tales through the women characters; Goldilocks named Victoria, a new women character Safiyya, Bear male as Ramsey as representation of white male, and Aladdin as dark-skinned man. The composition of the characters actually represented political codes of gender and white supremacy in Western narrative. It is legitimating and subverting the narrative representation of woman and dark skinned people who used to be placed as marginal people in the western narrative. The novel, reversaly, raised other possibility that those peripheral characters (women and blacks) can be competed with central character (men and whites). The narrative text of Goldilocks and the Bear displayed the deconstruction of women and black characters who used to be depicted in negative label in literature and cultural product, especially in Western representation.

Abstract

The protest has become the main, dominant inner-structure, and predominant theme not only in black writings, especially literary works, like; novels and poetry but also in the song writings. The protest is rooted in black slavery and racism has been felt and may continue to be felt throughout U.S. history. This article sought to indicate the mode of racism and ways of black in resisting it reflected in three protest songs written by blacks. Looking at the three decades of protest songs, three are standing out as important examples for this study: “Strange Fruit” (1937), “Say It, I’m Black and I’m Proud” (1968), and “Blue Lights” (2018). These protest songs are consistent in messaging the racism in the criminal justice system and black resistance against it over time. Critical race theory enables how racism as a legal, cultural, and political condition is reproduced and maintained, primarily in the US context. Strange Fruit portrays about lynching in the era of Jim Crow. They were tortured and lynched, reflecting how black people were experiencing discriminatory treatments and extrajudicial punishment after the civil war. Say It, I’m Black and I’m Proud portrays racial inequality in the post-Civil Rights Movement. Whites are still privileged and blacks are undervalued. More advances, Blue Lights portrays the concern of black people in facing racism that affects institutions like law enforcement, which leads to arbitrary shooting of black people in crime scenes in the present time. Taken together, the songs reflect the dynamic nature of racism, as well as the shifting mode and attitude of blacks in struggling against racism from the past up to the present time in the US from passive, radical, and subtler

Abstract

This research is intended to showcase the reflection of Black self-resilience through Still I Rise poem written by Maya Angelou. Mimetic approach and the concept of self-resilience were used to analyze the problem of this research. Self-resilience was seen in two points; physical and psychological ones. Black self-resilient performed in the poem is considered as the mimetic rendition of the dynamic process of black struggle that leads to the positive adaptations within the context of significant adversity in their life context of the US. Type of this research is included in library research with using descriptive qualitative-interpretive method in analyzing the data. It suggests that Maya Angelou in the poem Still I Rise pictured two kinds of Black self-resilience; physical resilience is showed through some selected words, like; dust, sun, moon, tide, they still arise in their place and time. Black did not and could not be destroyed by the bitter treatment of racism. These words also represented the psychological resilience by adding some other words; having gold mine, walk like I've got oil wells, certainty of tides, and the repeating word, I rise, to show their inner self-motivation, affection, and actualization. This study concluded that Black self-resilience both physically and psychologically reflected by Maya Angelou in her Poem Still I Rise is dealing with the racism. Blacks are destroyed not only physically but also mentality, so, they have to endure themselves by leading to a positive adaptation to exist in the United States.

Abstract

Background. Intersectional studies are often associated with political efforts to understand the interconnections between gender, class and race. Antonia Brico as the main character shows a strong ambition to become a famous conductor in classical music despite getting rejection from men, financial difficulties, and social pressure. Purpose. This research aims to analyze the various forms of discrimination faced by women in The Conductor movie, focusing on the intersectional feminist theory proposed by Kimberly Crenshaw. Method. This study employs descriptive qualitative methodologies. The dataset for this research consists of 14 instances of discrimination against women, as well as the portrayal of women's efforts to attain gender equality in the movie. These data are utilized by researchers to facilitate the analysis process. Results. The researchers identified multiple instances of discrimination encountered by women, particularly the protagonist Antonia Brico, who faced challenges from different sources. One example of this is the strong urge and motivation to advocate for women's rights in society, particularly in the position of leadership, within the realm of music. In addition, this movie presents other issues, including social, cultural, and political challenges that are primarily connected to Antonia Brico's personal battle. Conclusion. Brico shows her intellectual ability by studying with renowned musicians and conductors, even studying abroad, to gain knowledge and achieve her goals. She also demonstrates the courage to self-actualize, which is shown by her efforts to challenge perspectives that undermine women, such as the belief that women cannot lead and must hold positions below men. In addition, she also showed patience and tenacity in facing all the obstacles of oppression and discrimination that occurred.
