Abstract

Cinema functions as a significant cultural site for the negotiation of moral responsibility, yet the ethical dimensions of cinematic storytelling particularly how visual form actively constructs rather than merely illustrates moral meaning remain underexplored in existing scholarship on Atonement (2007). This study examines how Atonement (2007) represents writing as an ethical act through the character of Briony Tallis. The film explores the relationship between guilt, truth, and responsibility by showing how a single misunderstanding can create serious and lasting consequences. Using representation theory and narrative ethics, this study analyzes selected scenes, dialogue, and visual elements such as a framing, lighting, and character positioning. The analysis shows that Briony’s writing serves two functions: it becomes a way to express guilt, but it also allows her to control and reshape the story. Although her writing reflects regret and moral awareness, it cannot fully repair the harm she has caused. Therefore, the film presents atonement as an incomplete process that cannot be fully achieved through storytelling alone.

Abstract

Literacy is often understood not merely as a set of technical skills, but as a practice closely tied to identity and personal experience. In BoJack Horseman (2014-2020), this understanding is reflected through the character of Diane Nguyen, whose writing functions as a means of self-construction.  This study examines how Diane’s literacy practices align with the concept of literacy as individualism and how they influence her interpersonal relationships. Using textual and visual analysis approaches, selected scenes across all six seasons are analysed through Williams and Zenger’s concept of literacy as individualism and Sullivan’s interpersonal theory. The analysis focuses on Diane’s writing practices and its impact on her relationships with other characters. The findings show that Diane’s literacy practices reflect the concept of literacy as individualism since they are closely tied to emotional struggle, authenticity, and personal experiences. However, these practices also create tension, misunderstanding, and emotional distance in her relationships.

Abstract

This study reveals how literacy functions as a form of power and shapes women’s empowerment in Kathryn Stockett’s novel, The Help (2009). Drawing on New Literacy Studies, Williams and Zenger’s (2007) concept of literacy as power, and Kabeer’s (1999) empowerment framework, it employs qualitative textual analysis of three key literacy events: the book’s initiation, the writing process, and its publication. The findings show that literacy operates through control over meaning, action production, and strategicity, enabling marginalized Black women to challenge dominant racial narratives, navigate risk, and generate social consequences. Within Kabeer’s framework, literacy emerges as a strategic resource that enables agency and produces achievements, including economic mobility and psychological autonomy. Rather than merely a medium of expression, literacy is shown to function as a socially embedded and strategic practice through which marginalized women negotiate and reshape power relations.
