This study analyze the portrayal of the mothers who kill the children as folk devil. The theory of folk devil by Stanley Cohen and Erving Goffman’s theories on framing are used to determine the deviant images of the mothers that are created by the news using various means of framing. The mothers who kill the children in the news were depicted as having inhuman characters, having psychological problems, and having a weak nature for dealing with external problems, thus, they are portrayed as folk devils. This portrayal is based on the use of various kinds of elements of construction, such as choice of words, contradiction, perspective, comparison, symbolism, stereotype, exaggeration, highlighted and unhighlighted parts in the news, and assumption as means to frame the killer mother as folk devils. News can be fictionalized for certain purposes. There are many articles used to define mothers as having the quality of deviant characters. Therefore, many news stories in Indonesia are still subjective and biased toward women.

Unconventional characters have always piqued people’s interests, and that includes characters in anime. Mother is a role that is so familiar in the society, with certain characteristics expected of them. Certain mothers in anime acts differently than what is usually expected of them as mothers. This study is conducted to analyse the portrayal of the three antagonists in Japanese anime series One Piece, The Promised Neverland, and Diabolik Lovers respectively: Charlotte Linlin, Isabella, and Sakamaki Cordelia that can be considered unmotherly. The study is done using theories regarding good and bad mothers provided by A. E. Kaplan (1992), Huppartz and Goodwin (n.d.), and H. L. Hadley (2018). The analysis shows how the three mothers deviated from their role as a nurturing mother, showing actions that proved the three mothers to be destructive towards their children. The writer concludes that the three mothers show how mothers are people capable of emotions other than gentleness and care, they are capable of malice and hate, calculating and cruel as well be it biological mothers or foster mothers.

A pop idol group in Japan, AKB48, has female members capable of attracting the opposite sex into their fans. In this study, I will analyze the depictions of women portrayed in AKB48’s five summer music videos. To reach the objective of my analysis, I will use the theory of male gaze, specifically on the way the members are depicted in the videos. From my analysis, I discovered that through the perspective of male gaze, the idols are depicted as alluring, seductive, and playful. It can be assumed that the portrayal might be a strategy used to hoist their popularity over the other girl groups in Japan. Therefore, the sexualized depiction of the idols is actually proven to be successful in making the group popular.

This paper aims to provide an analysis into the specific type of poisonous parenting style Aleida Diaz has in Orange is the New Black, the reason behind her adoption of such poisonous parenting styles and the resulting consequences on herself. In analyzing Aleida’s parenting, we use Dunham & Dermer’s theory of poisonous parenting styles, specifically the Dismissive and Contemptuous Parent, combined with Baumrind’s Uninvolved or Neglectful Parenting Style that includes consequences of such parenting styles. In addition, we also use Mother-Daughter Relationship theory to understand the underlying reason behind Aleida’s adoption of these poisonous parenting styles. We divide the analysis into three parts. In the first part, we analyze what kind of mother Aleida is. In the second part, we analyze why she adopts such parenting styles. In the third part, we analyze what consequences she experiences as a result of her poisonous parenting styles. Ultimately, the finding will reveal that there is a vicious cycle of these poisonous parenting styles that turns out to be difficult to break from one generation to the next.

In this study, we examine Taylor Jenkins Reid's historical fiction, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017), focusing on how the protagonist, Evelyn Hugo, challenges the 1950s' values of True Womanhood. During this era, women were expected to be conventional housewives, but Evelyn, a young woman herself, rejects these traditional values, diverging from the ideal woman's life. This rebellion makes her character intriguing to study. My analysis explores how Evelyn defies the three virtues of True Womanhood and how this defiance grants her the agency to shape her own life. We will use Welter's 1966 critique, The Cult of True Womanhood, and Giddens' 1986 Concept of Agency to guide my analysis. The findings reveal that Evelyn defies societal norms by taking control of her body, rejecting societal expectations, and asserting her personal autonomy. Her desire for financial independence and self-reliance drives her defiance, allowing her to live without shame or guilt. Evelyn Hugo emerges as a feminist figure, using her defiance to gain agency in a male-dominated world and living ahead of her time.

This study explores how heels dancers challenge social norms around the female bodyand examines audience reactions along with the dancers' responses. Using Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding model, the analysis highlights how these dancers employ subversive strategies, framed by Foucault’s counter-conduct, Butler’s gender performativity, and Dolezal’s body shame. Data includes Instagram posts and audience comments from @jessynirmalaa, @heelsnation.id, and @curvescollective.id from August 2021 to July 2024. The findings reveal that the dancers defy norms with brazen costumes, sensual movements, and subversive narratives, eliciting mixed audience reactions ranging from support to resistance. This dynamic interplay reveals the dancers’ bodies as an arena of struggle, challenging and redefining dominant social meanings.
