Abstract

Released in May 2018, the song “Anpanman” by the world’s most popular K-Pop boy group to date, BTS, shares the idea of being a hero by setting an example from the Japanese superhero Anpanman. Anpanman, whose head is made of red bean paste-filled pastry, is well-known for his superpower ability to share parts of his head to those in need. This humble and self-sacrifice mode of helping others seems to be the basic idea of the song, to represent what BTS is about. This essay aims to further dissect the song lyrics of “Anpanman” to show the ambivalence presented between the concept of hero and superhero (termed here as (super)hero). The discussion goes further to juxtaposing the concept of hero/superhero with idol, a term used as another one of BTS’s songs “Idol”. Considering that in K-Pop, being an idol is practically a dream job, it is therefore paramount that in discussing the songs, this essay highlights the paradox of what it means to be a hero/superhero with an idol. Within the frame of network analysis, the discussion is conducted specifically along the line of the effects that digital culture has, which helps the spreading of BTS’s popularity and persona globally. In this light, this essay argues that beyond the songs, a problematic view on what it means to be a hero and an idol is projected. Ultimately, the discussion concludes that such an ambivalent view potentially leads to a reconceptualization of a superhero figure.Released in May 2018, the song “Anpanman” by the world’s most popular K-Pop boy group to date, BTS, shares the idea of being a hero by setting an example from the Japanese superhero Anpanman.

Abstract

This research discusses how the subjectivity and mother-daughter relationship are depicted in the autobiographical novel Frog under a Coconut Shell (2002) by Josephine Chia, a writer from Singapore. This autobiography tells the story of the daughter’s relationship with her mother, which was based on a patriarchal cultural environment and challenging economic conditions. The novel's relationship between mother and daughter shows the ambivalence regarding the constructed female subjectivity. This research aims to show how the mother’s subjectivity in the autobiography is built through the relationship of the mother and daughter, which is presented through narrative descriptions and dialogue. This research uses a qualitative method with an autobiographical narrative approach based on the theory of motherhood and mothering, especially regarding the relationship between mother and daughter. The results of this research show that the subjectivity of the mother character builds relationships with her daughter. This relationship shapes the daughter’s life by manifesting the mother’s hopes for her daughter. However, this subjectivity must still obey patriarchy to make the hopes can be realized. In addition, this autobiography also shows that the mother’s function as a fulfiller of needs also applies to a daughter who fulfills the mother’s needs. Based on the findings in this research, it is expected that it can be a reflection that the relationship between mother and daughter can be a source of subjectivity for both sides.

Abstract

Homeira Qaderi’s memoir, Dancing in the Mosque (2020), portrays how cultural norms construct gender expectations and perpetuate stereotypes. Using a dual narrative structure that intertwines Shah Pesar’s magical adventures with Qaderi’s poignant reflections illustrates how Qaderi skillfully employs focalization to shed light on the cultural limitations imposed on Afghan women, blending realistic storytelling elements. This study utilizes Bal’s theory of focalization alongside Genette’s concept of zero focalization to analyze the narrative shift from an omniscient narrator to a first-person perspective. By applying these theories, we examine how the shift in perspective highlights emotional intricacies and sharp feminist critique, while also revealing the narrative control and the lens through which the characters’ experiences are portrayed. We investigate the marginalization of women through the issues of constrained mobility, loss of identity, and legal disenfranchisement. By centering on Qaderi’s perspective, the text critiques societal and legal structures that diminish women’s value while foregrounding their struggle for agency and self-definition in a patriarchal society. This study underscores the broader ramifications of gender narratives in Afghanistan, highlighting the resilience of women as they resist cultural suppression.

Abstract

Sayang Village in Jatinangor Subdistrict is one of the villages whose agricultural products produce tuber variants, one of which is sweet potato. The processing agricultural products into culinary products is one of the factors that can help improve the community's economy. In addition to processing ingredients into food variants that have been known, modification of these types of preparations is quite important to maintain the selling power of these products. This PPM activity aims to introduce modifications to the variation of processed sweet potatoes that have been carried out by the people in Japan as well as to introduce ways of food marketing. This activity is conducted through the method of observation in the field with the technique of tapping records and the method of plunging directly into the field through direct practice (education and socialization) of making food. The theory used to study this problem comes from Setiawan Sabana (2001). Conditions in the field show that the community, especially women, consisting of mothers and young children, shows a high interest in the creation of new foods and education on the marketing of these products.
