Abstract

The Mata Najwa (English: Najwa’s Eyes) program on October 27, 2021, entitled “Muda Bersuara” was a special episode to commemorate the Youth Pledge which fell the following day. Inviting notable guest stars from various societies, politicians, and artists, Najwa explored unsettling issues among our youths and highlighted whether or not their voices are still heard. This study was conducted because there is a widespread use of narratives on various social media platforms among youngsters but the level of literacy among them is still low. This study aimed to analyze the underlying structure of the narratives and to examine their functions. This study was done using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data analysis revealed that narratives found had a regular format in which each of them consisted of at least one structure. Every narrative was also unique and served a variety of functions with making present as its center.

Abstract

This paper revolves around disenfranchised grief in children. Disenfranchised grief refers to a loss that is not acknowledged, not socially accepted, and not discussed in public which makes people think that they have no right to grieve that loss. With children’s picture books as the chosen creative form and adventure as the chosen genre, this paper presents what causes children to grieve and how they process this grief. The stories depict Putra, Gwen, Daniel, Deborah, and Gabriel experiencing disenfranchised grief because their attachment to people or things they care about is broken, regardless of how trivial it is. Onward, they process grief by going through John Bowlby and Colin Murray Parkes’s four phases of grieving namely numbness, yearning and searching, disorganization, and re-organization to seize acceptance.
