Abstract

Purpose- This study investigates the psychological dimensions of heroism in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (2015–2017), focusing on the characters Mikazuki Augus and Orga Itsuka. Set in a dystopian future where war and survival define the lives of young orphans, the anime provides a compelling narrative to examine how trauma, leadership, loyalty, and moral responsibility shape heroic behaviour. The background of this study lies in the underexplored intersection between anime, heroism, and psychoanalytic psychology. Methodology - This research employed a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through a literature study of all 50 episodes of the anime and supplemented with relevant scholarly sources. The analysis was grounded in Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, particularly the concepts of the id, ego, and superego, to understand the psychological underpinnings of each character’s decisions and development. The data were processed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Findings - The study finds that heroism in Iron-Blooded Orphans is shaped by a complex interplay of internal conflicts, moral values, and social expectations. Mikazuki’s actions are driven by loyalty and emotional dependency on Orga, while Orga’s decisions reflect the burden of leadership and psychological strain. Both characters exhibit behaviors influenced by their trauma and suppressed desires, with the id, ego, and superego dynamics influencing their perception of duty and sacrifice. These findings suggest that heroic behaviour in the anime is deeply tied to unresolved psychological tension and external moral pressures. Novelty - This research offers a novel contribution by applying Freudian psychoanalysis to anime character analysis—a framework rarely used in this context. It provides a detailed mapping of the psychological structures driving heroic behaviour in anime, expanding the discourse on character psychology in popular media. Significance - The study is particularly relevant for scholars and students of media psychology, literary and cultural studies, and anime studies. It demonstrates how anime can serve as a valuable lens for analyzing complex psychological themes, making it a useful reference for future interdisciplinary research on heroism, trauma, and identity in visual narratives.

Abstract

Movie as a cultural medium not only reflects social reality but also shapes the construction of meaning towards mental health issues in society. This study focuses on five selected movies, namely A Beautiful Mind (2001), Silver Linings Playbook (2012), Joker (2019), The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), and Black Swan (2010). Using Stuart Hall's theory of representation and Freud and Lacan's psychoanalytic approach, this research explores how the main characters are portrayed as experiencing schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, depression, and psychosis. The method used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The data were obtained through observation of visual text, dialog, and cinematic symbols. The results show that the movies tend to represent mental health disorders in two main patterns: (1) pathologizing individuals through tragic and dark narratives, and (2) romanticizing mental suffering as part of a character's genius or uniqueness. These representations have an ambivalent impact. On the one hand they raise public awareness about mental health but on the other hand they potentially reinforce negative stereotypes. The result of this research is expected to contribute to cultural, literary, and media psychology studies as well as provide a critical foundation for the production of more ethical and accurate movie that relate on mental health.

Abstract

This research examines the process of girls' identity transformation through the character of Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland using a literary psychology approach. Alice is described as a girl who experiences various internal and external conflicts during her adventures in the fantasy world of Wonderland. This research uses qualitative content analysis method. The literary psychology approach uses Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory, especially in the stages of industry vs. inferiority and identity vs. role confusion. The changes that Alice experiences emotionally, cognitively and socially are analyzed as a representation of the psychological journey of girls in forming self-identity in the midst of uncertain world. The world of Wonderland is interpreted as a symbol of the subconscious that presents various challenges to Alice's self-stability. The results show that Alice's adventures reflect the self-discovery of a growing girl, learning to know herself and building courage and independence in the midst of the absurdity of reality. This research shows that children's literature can be a reflective medium for the complexity of children's psychological development, especially in the formation of self-identity.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has opened new opportunities in developing literary learning models, particularly through the utilization of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). This study aims to examine the transformation of Indonesian literature learning through the integration of VR and AR technologies. Using a qualitative approach and library research methods, this study analyzes various literature sources that discuss technology-based learning innovations and their implications for improving literary literacy. The study results indicate that virtual reality technology allows students to "enter" the world of literary texts, such as exploring story settings or interacting with characters visually and sensorily, thereby strengthening imagination and contextual understanding. Meanwhile, augmented reality can be used to enrich printed texts with digital elements such as animations, videos, or audio narratives that appear through device scanning, thereby increasing students' reading interest and engagement. This transformation brings about a paradigm shift in literature teaching from conventional narrative-based approaches to multimodal approaches that have emotional and cognitive impacts. These findings confirm that VR and AR not only enhance interactivity in literary learning but also open new spaces for developing creativity, empathy, and aesthetic appreciation of Indonesian literary works among students. This study recommends curriculum development and educator training to optimize the use of impactful technology in literature learning in the digital age.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the integration of aesthetic and ethical elements in Islamic children's stories as part of children's literature that promotes Islamic religious values. Islamic children's stories serve not only as a medium of entertainment but also as a means of instilling character and spirituality from an early age. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis of selected stories texts, namely 9 out of 30 Dongeng Sebelum Tidur untuk Anak Muslim (Bedtime Stories for Muslim Children) by Kidh Hidayat and MB. Rahimsyah. The analysis focuses on aesthetic aspects such as narrative structure and style of language as well as Islamic ethical aspects such as moral values of honesty, empathy, and responsibility. The results of the study indicate that the stories present an aesthetically pleasing narrative with communicative language, effectively capturing children's attention while facilitating understanding of the moral messages. Islamic ethical values are implicitly embedded in the plot and characters, making them an effective medium for character education. This study recommends the utilization of Islamic stories as religious literacy materials to support values-based learning in elementary schools.
