Abstract

This research examines the representation of power relations and class conflict in the film Bullet Train (2022) directed by David Leitch by applying a Marxist perspective. The purposes of this research are to analyze how power is portrayed among the characters and to identify how class conflict is represented in the film. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The data are collected from scenes, dialogues, character actions, and visual elements in the film. The data are analyzed using Marxist theory, particularly concepts of bourgeoisie and proletariat, exploitation, hegemony, alienation, and class struggle. The results of this research show that power in Bullet Train is dominated by characters who control capital and organizational structures, particularly the White Death, who represents the bourgeois class. Meanwhile, characters such as Ladybug and other assassins represent the proletariat who sell their labor and operate under systems they do not control. Class conflict is represented through fragmented and individualized struggles among the working-class characters, where competition replaces solidarity. The train functions as a metaphor for capitalist society, symbolizing confinement, hierarchy, and continuous conflict driven by capital. This research concludes that Bullet Train is not only an action-comedy film, but also a cultural text that reflects capitalist power structures and ongoing class conflict in contemporary society.

Abstract

Lacanian psychoanalysis is a framework that helps interpret the hidden subconscious meanings in a film’s story and the psychology of its characters. The Menu (2022) presents Chef Slowik not only as a villain, but also as a deeply disturbed individual who suffers from psychological problems, including psychopathic tendencies. He loses his original passion for cooking and can no longer express his identity or emotions through food. This failure to communicate with others through his dishes reflects Lacan’s idea of failed self-expression and gradually leads to Slowik’s psychological collapse. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines how Chef Slowik’s objet petit a represents his inner sense of lack and how it eventually turns into jouissance, functioning as a form of criticism toward the Symbolic Order represented by Hawthorne restaurant. The findings show that Slowik’s objet petit a appears through dialogue and objects in the film, and it is this desire that ultimately drives his actions, speech, and the dishes he serves to elite guests as a critique of the existing Symbolic Order.

Abstract

Program pelatihan pembuatan kompos di Kelurahan Meruya Utara dilaksanakan sebagai upaya untuk mengatasi permasalahan lingkungan sekaligus meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat. Permasalahan utama yang dihadapi meliputi meningkatnya volume sampah daun, belum adanya tata cara pengelolaan limbah organik, rendahnya kondisi ekonomi masyarakat, serta munculnya binatang melata akibat tumpukan sampah. Melalui pendekatan berbasis komunitas, kegiatan ini dirancang dengan tahapan sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Pelatihan mencakup manajemen rantai pasok sampah, penggunaan alat pencacah daun, teknik pembuatan kompos, serta pelatihan desain label, kemasan ramah lingkungan, dan strategi penetapan harga. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengelola limbah organik, berkurangnya volume sampah, serta terciptanya produk pupuk kompos berkualitas yang memiliki nilai ekonomi. Program ini sejalan dengan Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 11 dan SDG 12) serta mendukung pemberdayaan ekonomi rakyat kecil. Dengan adanya pendampingan berkelanjutan, diharapkan keberhasilan program dapat dipertahankan dan dikembangkan ke wilayah lain yang menghadapi tantangan serupa.

Abstract

This article examines the development of masculine vulnerability in selected lyrics by Rich Brian from 2017 to 2025. This study is based on the difference between the concept of hegemonic masculinity, which positions men as strong, rational, confident, and able to control their emotions, and the development of contemporary hip-hop, which increasingly provides space for men to express emotional experiences such as pain, anxiety, self-doubt, and self-reflection. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a thematic analysis approach to examine four Rich Brian songs, namely Glow Like Dat, Kids, New Tooth, and She. The findings show that masculine vulnerability in Rich Brian’s lyrics is represented through various emotional experiences, including emotional wounds, anxiety, inner conflict, personal struggles, emotional openness, and self-reflection. The study also finds that these lyrics do not completely reject the concept of hegemonic masculinity because elements such as ambition, achievement, self-confidence, and resilience are still presented. However, these elements are combined with emotional experiences and psychological pressures experienced by men. Therefore, this article demonstrates that Rich Brian’s lyrics portray masculinity as a dynamic, flexible, and continuously evolving identity in contemporary hip-hop, where strength and vulnerability can exist together.
