Abstract

Popular music stands as a cultural space where emotion, identity, and power intertwine. Within this realm, female voices often perform the delicate balance between desire and restraint. Yet, few studies have examined how mainstream pop songs articulate female desire beyond objectification, particularly in the work of Selena Gomez, whose music navigates intimacy and autonomy with subtle complexity. This study examines Selena Gomez’s “Can’t Keep My Hands to Myself” to explore how female agency emerges through the negotiation of longing and self-control. Employing a feminist literary lens and Freud’s psychoanalytic framework of the id, ego, and superego, the analysis reveals how sensual impulse and conscious regulation coexist in lyrical expression. In dialogue with Cann (2021) and Jansson (2021), the study interprets the song as a declaration of embodied autonomy, where sensuality becomes self-possession rather than submission. Through qualitative content analysis, the findings affirm that pop music offers a stage for reimagining female identity—where emotion, restraint, and power converge in a harmony of self-aware desire.

Abstract

This study examines the manifestation of social anxiety in Putu Wijaya’s short story Malu through a literary psychological perspective. Social anxiety is understood as a socially constructed emotional condition shaped by fear of judgment, shame, and social expectations. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research analyzes the psychological states, behavioral responses, and narrative techniques presented in the text. The primary data source is the short story Malu, while secondary sources include scholarly works on psychological criticism, social anxiety, and Indonesian literature. The analysis reveals that social anxiety in Malu is manifested through internal psychological tension, including excessive self-awareness, fear of negative evaluation, and feelings of shame (Malu). These psychological conditions influence the protagonist’s behavior, leading to avoidance, silence, and emotional restraint in social interactions. Additionally, Putu Wijaya employs narrative techniques such as internal monologue, repetition, and absurd situations to effectively represent the protagonist’s emotional struggle and highlight the oppressive nature of social norms. The findings suggest that social anxiety in Malu functions as a mechanism of social control, reinforcing conformity and limiting individual agency. Rather than portraying anxiety as a purely personal disorder, the short story emphasizes its cultural and social dimensions within Indonesian society. This study contributes to literary theory and criticism by demonstrating how psychological analysis can deepen the understanding of emotional representation in Indonesian literary works. It also encourages further interdisciplinary research on the relationship between literature, psychology, and culture.

Abstract

This study examines the rigid social structures of nineteenth-century England as depicted in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The research investigates how inflexible social hierarchies, characterized by distinct class stratifications—upper, middle, and lower classes—constrained individual agency, particularly among women. The analysis focuses on four pivotal dimensions: marriage as a social transaction, social hierarchy and etiquette, land and wealth ownership, and the manifestations of prejudice and discrimination. Despite extensive scholarship on Austen's social critique, limited attention has been paid to the interaction between class stratification and individual agency within the specific context of nineteenth-century English property relations. Employing a Marxist literary framework, this research elucidates how material conditions fundamentally shaped character motivations, interpersonal dynamics, and socioeconomic opportunities. Through a qualitative analysis of dialogue, narration, and descriptive elements within the novel, the findings demonstrate how stringent social norms limited individual autonomy and engendered pervasive conflict between personal desires and societal imperatives. This study contributes to existing scholarship by revealing how Austen's narrative simultaneously critiques systemic inequality while exposing the psychological constraints imposed on middle-class women within a patriarchal property system. Ultimately, this study highlights Austen's sophisticated critique of the systemic injustices inherent in the nineteenth-century British class system, while underscoring the enduring relevance of these themes within contemporary social contexts.
