Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies have found that engaging with poetry through poetry reading helps individuals develop positive outlook in life and cope with difficult experience. Poetry has a unique ability to express complex emotions, making it useful for building resilience. This study aims to explore how poetry especially Islamic poetry could serve as a cultural resilience strategy during the pandemic. Cultural resilience refers to the unique way cultural backgrounds such as values, norms, supports, langu­age, and customs can help facilitate an individual or a community to overcome adversity (Clauss-Ehler, 2004). This present study employed reader-response method, involving 21 student-readers who attended Poetry class at Sultan Agung Islamic University, Indonesia. The class was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic. Three plague-themed Islamic poems were introduced in the poetry reading, such as: The Cholera (1974) by Al-Malaika, The Black Death Plague (1348) by Ibn al-Wardi, and The Night Visitor (c.960) by Al-Mutannabi. This study found that reading poetry positively affected students who have genuine interest in aesthetic reading. The enjoyment in poetry reading could serve as a protective factor for the readers through three major mechanisms: a reminder to the Islamic concept of qadr or preordainment, the consciousness cultivation of pandemics as a shared experience, and the development of empathy out of those experiences. Keywords: Cultural Resilience, Covid-19 Pandemic, Islamic Poetry, Plague, Readers Response. ABSTRAK Studi menunjukkan bahwa penghayatan puisi dapat membantu individu mengembangkan pandangan positif dalam hidup dan mengatasi pengalaman sulit. Puisi memiliki kemampuan unik untuk mengungkapkan emosi yang kompleks, sehingga berguna untuk membangun resiliensi. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana puisi khususnya puisi Islami dapat menjadi strategi ketahanan budaya di masa pandemi. Ketahanan budaya mengacu pada cara unik berlatar belakang budaya seperti nilai, norma, dukungan, bahasa, dan adat istiadat dapat mem­bantu memfasilitasi individu atau komunitas untuk mengatasi kesulitan (Clauss-Ehler, 2004). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode reader-res­ponse, melibatkan 21 mahasiswa-pembaca yang mengikuti kelas Puisi di Universitas Islam Sultan Agung, Indonesia. Kelas diadakan selama pandemi Covid-19. Tiga puisi Islam bertema wabah diperkenalkan dalam pembacaan puisi tersebut, seperti: The Cholera (1974) oleh Al-Malaika, The Black Death Plague (1348) oleh Ibn al-Wardi, dan The Night Visitor (c.960) oleh Al -Mutannabi. Studi ini menemukan bahwa membaca puisi berdampak positif bagi siswa yang memiliki minat dalam membaca este­tika. Kenikmatan membaca puisi dapat menjadi faktor pelindung bagi pembacanya melalui tiga mekanisme: pengingat akan konsep Islam tentang qadr atau takdir, penanaman kesadaran akan pandemi sebagai pengalaman bersama, dan pengembangan empati dari pengalaman tersebut.

Abstract

This research analyzes the code-switching behavior of the character Emily Cooper in the series "Emily in Paris" Season 1 (2020). The focus is on identifying the types of code-switching she uses and the social factors influencing her code-switching decisions. The study employs Poplack's theory, as cited by Romaine, to categorize the types of code-switching. A descriptive qualitative method is utilized in this research. Data collection involved reading the series script, identifying instances of code-switching, classifying them, and reducing the data to relevant examples. Primary data were gathered from the series script, while secondary data were sourced from articles, journals, and previous studies related to the topic. Data analysis was conducted using a sociolinguistic approach. The analysis revealed that Emily Cooper uses three types of code-switching: intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag switching. The shift between English and French was analyzed according to Poplack's theory, citing Romaine. The factors influencing Emily's code-switching include the need to adapt to the French social environment, efforts to show appreciation for French culture and language, and strategies to gain trust and engagement in social interactions.Keywords: Code Switching, Emily Cooper, Emily In Paris season 1 (2020), Sociolinguistic approach, Poplack's theory

Abstract

Old romantic songs of the 1980s linger; especially for people, at the moment, in their 60s or so. Such songs are rich in moral teaching, applicable in any religion on earth. The current study which examined Benjamin S’ and Ida Royani’s the same song lyrics Tragedi Cinta but of different versions aimed to construe the meanings of both songs viewed from their textual-metaphoric representations. The two song lyrics were analyzed employing a software application UAMCT 6.8, adopting Hallidayan SFL on thematic progression, leading to their modes of the discourse. Also dealt with herein is the use of both grammatical and lexical metaphors to examine how meanings are realized. The findings show that ‘female’ is marginalized in three ways, namely (1) the use of active voice without any attempt to hide the identity for doing sincere things as opposed to ‘male’ put in passive voice to hide the identity for doing bad things, (2) the use of marked themes indicate high literary values employed in both song lyrics, (3) the use of both lexical and grammatical metaphoric styles implies excellently-written song lyrics, and (4) moral teaching of both song lyrics is also highlighted to give evidence of ‘female’ marginalization and it is, thereby recommended to avoid romantic juvenile delinquency, especially of the millennial generation termed as ‘digital natives’ who can get access to abundant information without limit of time and space; no matter how hard the social, religious and familial authorities try to ban the negative impacts of the world’s largest information technology industry.

Abstract

The transformation of traditional Indonesian superheroes such as Gundala, Si Buta dari Gua Hantu, Maza, Nusantara and Godam in the digital era, showing how traditional elements can be adapted to modern media. These Indonesian superheroes not only symbolise cultural heritage, but also reflect the aspirations and struggles of Indonesians at various times. In contrast, American superheroes such as Superman, Batman and Spider-Man dominate the global popular culture landscape and represent modern values such as individualism, capitalism and universal heroism. This study also discusses the role of superheroes in expressing the values and identities of their creators, as well as the impact of the dominance of American superhero culture on the global cultural market and its pressure to adapt established visual and narrative standards. It has been found that recent superhero works are more inclusive and reflect the diversity and intimacy of society more broadly. This article highlights the importance of integrating traditional values and cultural heritage with the evolving context of the digital age.

Abstract

This study analyzes gender representation in Wonder Woman (2017) and Black Widow (2021), two important works that introduce female characters as main protagonists in the superhero genre. Although both feature strong, independent, and agency-filled female characters, this analysis shows that both films are still influenced by patriarchal elements that objectify women through the representation of the bodies and visual appearance of the main female characters. Using the male gaze theory introduced by Laura Mulvey (1975) and the perspective of gender analysis in media, this study aims to reveal how, despite efforts to empower women, visual depictions still highlight the sexual dimension of the female characters' bodies, reminiscent of visual structures that tend to focus on male fantasy. This study also discusses how these depictions remain trapped in a socio-cultural framework that perceives women in terms of physical beauty and sexual attractiveness. Using a qualitative approach, this study uses content analysis of key scenes in both films to trace gender representation and explore the narratives and characters that develop throughout the story. The results show that although there is room for empowerment and change in the superhero genre, women's bodies are still unavoidably objectified in these films. This research is expected to contribute to developing gender representation theory in film and offer further insight into the transformation of women's roles in Hollywood film narratives.

Abstract

This study examines the lyrics of Lana Del Rey's album "Born to Die" (2012) as a literary text rich in figurative language and explores how they represent the three components of love—intimacy, passion, and commitment—in Sternberg's Triangle of Love Theory. The study focuses on the dominant types of figurative language—personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, metonymy, litotes, and irony—and maps their meanings to the theme of love in the album. The approach used is qualitative, using a close reading technique of the lyrics, followed by data collection (listening to and reading the lyrics), identification, classification based on the type of figurative language and its relationship to Sternberg's components of love, and data reduction to select the most relevant data. The primary data source is the album's lyrics, while secondary data includes theoretical references on figurative language and Sternberg's theory of love. The research limitation strictly excludes non-lyrical musical elements (vocals, arrangements, instruments) so that the analysis is focused on the lyric text as the object of linguistic-literary study. Theoretically, this research is expected to enrich stylistic studies on popular music; practically, the research provides an analytical model that connects figurative language devices in lyrics with the emotional dimensions of love according to Sternberg.

Abstract

Language is a crucial aspect of life for communicating, expressing feelings, and building relationships with others. In literature, language and context are interconnected; pragmatics helps reveal the hidden meaning behind the text. In the context of pragmatic, films not only show futuristic narratives, but it also shows how dialogue and interaction between characters are used to convey deeper meaning. The language that is often used in a literary work is usually a style of figurative language. This research refers to Laurence Perrine’s theory on identifying and analyzing the types of figurative language and exploring their functions in supporting narrative meaning and characterization in the film Ex Machina. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. The primary data used in this study is the film Ex Machina and secondary data were obtained from articles, journals, and previous study. Data collection technique is carried out by watching the movie, reading movie script and then, analyzed to find types and function of each figurative language used. From the research that has been done it can be concluded that the types of figurative language found in the Ex Machina film are Allegory, Hyperbole, Irony, Metaphor, Metonymy, Paradox, Personification, Simile, Symbol, and Synecdoche which are more dominantly appearing are metaphor and hyperbole. Meanwhile, the functions found in figurative language in the Ex Machina film not only function as aesthetic decoration, but also to provide imaginative pleasure, add emotional intensity, create meaning in a short compass, and to provide additional meaning related to philosophical issues such as artificial consciousness and human identity. The Ex Machina film raises the theme of artificial intelligence, consciousness, and ethics in creating technology. Keywords: Pragmatic, Figurative Language, Ex Machina Movie.

Abstract

Women’s struggles against patriarchy remain a crucial subject in feminist and postcolonial scholarship, yet limited attention has been given to how cinema contributes to theorizing subaltern subjectivity. This study addresses the gap by analyzing North Country (2005) through feminist criticism and postcolonial theory, particularly Spivak’s concept of the subaltern. The purpose is to examine how women’s silenced voices in patriarchal structures are represented and how subaltern subjectivity transforms into political agency. Using qualitative textual and film analysis, the study integrates Spivak’s subalternity with Butler’s performativity, Foucault’s disciplinary power, Fraser’s redistribution and recognition, and Mohanty’s transnational feminism. Findings show that the mine functions as a patriarchal microcosm, but resistance and solidarity enable women to reclaim voice and agency, redefining the feminist maxim “the personal is political” and extending its resonance transnationally. The study concludes that North Country (2005) is a cultural artifact dramatizing the journey “from subaltern to subject,” underscoring cinema’s role as a theoretical production.
