Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of self-determination in navigating the quarter-life crisis faced by young adults. The protagonist, Maya, conflicts with extrinsic pressures from society and her mother's expectations regarding her career choice. Through a mystical encounter with traditional Indonesian shadow puppets, Maya is empowered to exercise self-determination by pursuing her intrinsic passions despite external opposition. The narrative centers on Maya's transformative journey of self-discovery, where she reconciles her autonomous aspirations with controlling extrinsic forces. Ultimately, by harnessing self-determination, Maya overcomes challenges to showcase her authentic self. The screenplay illuminates self-determination's vital role in conquering quarter-life obstacles, cultivating intrinsic motivation, authenticity, and resilience in shaping one's life path while honoring cultural heritage.

Abstract

This thesis discusses the anxieties and defense mechanisms in Tantri, the protagonist of Indonesian indie film Sekala Niskala (2018). This pivotal film of Kamila Andini tells the story of Tantri, a Balinese girl, dealing with her twin brother, Tantra’s terminal illness. In this study, we are investigating Tantri’s anxieties and her ego’s defense mechanisms according to Sigmund Freud’s anxiety theory and his and Anna Freud’s defense mechanism theory. We found that Tantri displayed reality, neurotic, and moral anxiety. Her reality anxiety of Tantra’s deteriorating health extended to her neurotic anxiety and moral anxiety. As a response, Tantri’s ego applied the defense mechanisms of repression and sublimation. Tantri’s repression was manifested in a pretense of reality and dreams that revealed the fears and desires; her sublimation was expressed through a dance. The results of this study show that anxiety and defense mechanisms are universal in different stages of life and all social backgrounds.

Abstract

What happens when a character exemplifies the essence of nurturing, protection, and unconditional love? In the webtoon Cewekku Galak, Yoo Ah-rin emerges as a mother-like figure whose defining traits such as nurturing, protecting, and unconditionally loving profoundly shape the lives of people around her. This study will be using Carl Jung’s mother archetype theory, John Bowlby’s attachment theory, and Melanie Klein’s object relations theory to explore how these qualities foster emotional security, stability, safety, trust, and a sense of acceptance in other characters. At the same time, it reveals the unintended consequences of her care, such as emotional dependency and obsession. By analyzing the dual impact of her role, this research highlights the complexity of maternal figures in fiction and the enduring significance of unconditional love in storytelling.

Abstract

This research was conducted on the ground of the reason for the increasingly widespread use of narratives on various social media platforms. Narrative is an event whereby someone represents an event aiming to influence the understanding, emotions and values of others. This study qualitatively aims to capture the most common elements of narrative structure focusing on political, economic, and socio-cultural rhetorical narratives data originated from social media platforms. The theoretical model of narrative structure consisting of Abstract, Orientation, Complicating Actions, Resolution, Evaluation and Coda, as proposed by Labov and Waletzky was used to analyze the narrative data collected during the first four months of 2022. On the ground of social situated meanings, the findings show that the most common model of narrative structure is fully used whenever greater details of events, facts, or information are needed to be emphasized. For such reasons, all the elements of narrative structure are held to be obligatory. The findings show that some elements of narrative structure are left out and held to be optional as such elements are not considered necessary to convey the main content. In addition, the findings also show that some particular element allows it to be further developed with more embedded events, facts, opinion, or information.

Abstract

Escapism is a universal act people have done at least once in their life. By escaping from responsibilities, they seek solace but depending on the frequency, it can become detrimental. This creative thesis explores what escapism and its impacts are that affect an individual’s development. As a novella in the genre of science fiction, this work uses Longeway’s theory of escapism, focusing on the model of self-suppression and self-expansion. This story follows Lukas, a human, and IFT-199, an alien, who are indulging in escapism in their own way. Lukas shows self-suppression through his obsession with online conspiracies and avoidance of his aspiration while IFT-199 shows self-suppression through the ignorance of her powerlessness in her act of revenge. At the end, they grow with self-expansion by finding new aspirations in life. Through their struggle, this novella shines a light on the importance of understanding escapism, especially with its characteristics.

Abstract

The social media viral effect requires movie producers to consider achieving excellence in narrative art as well as incorporating measures for increasing the popularity and profitability of their work. In this script, Behind the Feed, the phenomenon of viral effect is demonstrated through a character named Lintang, a film graduate who utilizes viral effect through buying counterfeit views and followers to save a shelter for street kids, help take care of her family, and entice film companies. This qualitative narrative investigation applies theories related to Deception Behavior Theory and Image Repair Theory in incorporating aspects of how manipulating viral effect leads to a degradation of professional trust and relations. Restoration comes through admitting a mistake, taking corrective actions, and restoring a definition of success based on qualitative aspects opposed to quantity.

Abstract

The loss of an attachment figure, whether a person, pet, or place, is a profound challenge that destabilizes a child's sense of security. This paper explores the creation of Nothing Lasts Forever, a series of five picture books designed to help children navigate grief using magical realism and John Bowlby’s attachment theory. The work demonstrates that loss manifests functionally as protest (anger and denial) and despair (withdrawal), which are necessary distress signals. By utilizing a creative practice-based methodology, the project illustrates how a caregiver’s support as a "safe haven" and "secure base" allows children to form continuing bonds. Grounded in psychological principles, this series serves as a therapeutic tool for fostering emotional resilience.

Abstract

In Indonesia, excessive shopping has increased due to consumer culture, which has led to the widespread use of online loans with a notably high tendency for borrowers to fail to make payments. In researching for this creative work, we tackle the problem of consumer culture and how to break free from its influence. Using Slater's (1997) and Baudrillard's (1998) theories of consumer culture as a framework, this creative work illustrates how people use online loans not only to make purchases but also to elevate their social standing and win praise from their peers. This creative work also explores the fatal consequences of using online loans, as the main character faces a series of terror after failing to repay his online loan debt and is forced into confrontation with an organ trafficking syndicate disguised as debt collectors.

Abstract

This creative work, in the form of a short screenplay, examines how a government’s developmental plan can spark collective resistance. Despite the Indonesian government’s efforts to improve social welfare through a series of infrastructure development projects known as the National Strategic Project (PSN), these initiatives can still face opposition from the local rural communities, even if they are as important as healthcare facilities. This resistance stems from factors such as a lack of public participation, environmental degradation, human rights violations, or other intangible losses. This creative work addresses two main problems within the story. Firstly, how the protagonist, Uus, becomes a catalyst for a collective action against a hospital development plan; and secondly, how he navigates the stages of grief after his wife’s death. The work employs theoretical frameworks of Everyday Resistance and the Stages of Grief to analyze these problems. In conclusion, the creative work highlights the emergence of resistance against a benevolent healthcare facility in a rural village, illustrating that grief can be leveraged to mobilize community resistance in the face of development.
