Abstract

This research examines the representation of postfeminist values in the 2014 animated film Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy. The objective is to explore how the film’s dialogues portray postfeminist values through the characters and narrative. Using a descriptive qualitative method and feminist literary criticism, the study applies the postfeminist theoretical framework proposed by Rosalind Gill. The analysis focuses on five key values: empowerment, individualism and choice, redefinition of gender roles, collaboration and solidarity, and resistance to patriarchal structures. The findings reveal that the film presents female characters, especially Zarina and Tinker Bell, as intelligent, independent, and emotionally expressive figures who challenge traditional gender norms. However, the representation of empowerment remains tied to neoliberal ideals, where success is achieved through personal effort rather than structural change. This research contributes to feminist media analysis and offers insight into how children’s animated films embed ideological messages about gender and identity.

Abstract

Song lyrics as a form of artistic expression that is full of meaning are often used as a tool to convey deep messages that are close to human life. One of the famous rock bands, Bon Jovi is known for its inspiring and meaningful song lyrics. The author's interest in the meanings contained in Bon Jovi's song lyrics, especially in the songs "It's My Life," "Have a Nice Day," and "We Weren't Born to Follow", prompted this study. This research aims to determine the meaning of Bon Jovi's song lyrics by describing the signifiers and signified contained therein. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a Saussure semiotic approach. This study uses Saussure's Semiotic theory, which identifies the signifiers and signified in the lyrics, followed by syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis to understand the relationship between sentences and reveal the deeper meaning of the song. Rhyme analysis is also used to strengthen the interpretation of the overall meaning of the song. The results of the study show that the three songs have a central theme of individual freedom and rejection of external control. The lyrics emphasize the importance of following one's desires and not letting others control one's life. Never give up on facing the challenges in our lives and continue to struggle to achieve our dreams without being influenced by others.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of ego defense mechanisms by characters in three short stories by Stephen King in the book “Bazaar of Bad Dreams”, namely Premium Harmony, A Death, and Bad Little Kid, using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory that focuses on ego defense mechanisms. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a psychoanalytic approach. Data were collected through short story selection, reading and recording, and coding, then were analyzed through data classification, data analysis, description of analysis results, conclusions of analysis results, and reporting of research results. The results show that the characters in the three short stories display various ego defense mechanisms in dealing with conflict and stress, including denial, reaction formation, projection, displacement, rationalization, and repression. The analysis reveals the complex psychological dynamics of each character and how internal and external factors influence their ego defense mechanisms. It also compares their applications in the context of Indonesian society. Ego dominance is seen in the character’s attempts to balance id drives, superego demands, and reality through different ego defense mechanisms.

Abstract

This research examines racial discrimination towards Patsey in Solomon Northup's 12 Years A Slave novel. The study aims to categorize racial discrimination types using Gordon Allport's (1954) theory—verbal abuse, avoidance, segregation, physical attack, and extermination—analyzing through Marxist feminism. Utilizing a qualitative sociological method, the research identifies three discrimination types: verbal antagonism, avoidance, and physical attack. Segregation and extermination were not evident. In the verbal antagonism stage, Mr. Epps verbally degraded Patsey's race and gender, labeling her a black wench. The avoidance stage portrays Mrs. Epps, an upper-class woman, expressing resentment by withholding food and soap, illustrating power dynamics. The physical attack stage illustrates Patsey being flogged for not meeting cotton-picking quotas, showcasing the compounded oppression faced by women slaves in race, gender, and class. Patsey's abuse by Mr. and Mrs. Epps for their master's mistakes highlights how upper-class individuals perpetuate oppression. Patsey's naked punishment underscores gender-specific oppression. In conclusion, Patsey's narrative in 12 Years A Slave novel exemplifies race and gender intersectionality, revealing capitalism and patriarchy collaboration in marginalizing lower-class black women.

Abstract

In this study, Jordan Peele's film Us is analyzed using the analytical descriptive method of Jungian studies. This study aims to analyze the archetypal personality of the main character, Adelaide, in the film Us (2019) written and directed by Jordan Peele. The analysis uses Carl Gustav Jung's concept of archetypes, namely persona, shadow, animus, and great mother. Persona represents the social face Adelaide displays as a gentle and protective mother figure in everyday life. Shadow emerges through Adelaide's hidden character, namely the figure of 'Red' who reveals her dark side and hidden trauma. The animus element is seen in Adelaide's strength and courage as she protects her family, showing the hidden masculine aspect of herself. The great mother archetype comes into play through Adelaide's role as a protector, where she shows not only deep maternal love but also destructive power when facing threats. The conclusion of this study shows that the character of Adelaide in Us depicts the complexity of human personality through the encounter between Jungian archetypes, which shows the inner dynamics of human beings between light and darkness, strength and tenderness, and trauma and healing.

Abstract

This study examines the use of Juvenalian satire in three songs by System of a Down, namely B.Y.O.B., Chop Suey!, and Toxicity. The research applies Susanna Morton Braund’s theory of Juvenalian satire and Emilio Betti’s hermeneutic approach to uncover the social, political, and moral criticism embedded in the lyrics. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes diction, symbolism, irony, sarcasm, and confrontational expressions found in the selected songs. The findings reveal that the songs consistently employ the major characteristics of Juvenalian satire: contemptuous tone, sharp criticism, irony and sarcasm, and provocative confrontation. B.Y.O.B. criticizes war, class inequality, and political hypocrisy; Chop Suey! questions social judgment and moral dogmatism; and Toxicity condemns the destructive effects of modern urban civilization and ideological domination. Through aggressive language and symbolic imagery, System of a Down transforms music into a medium of resistance against injustice and abuse of power. The study concludes that Juvenalian satire remains relevant in contemporary music because it provides a powerful framework for expressing dissent and encouraging critical reflection on social realities.
