Abstract

Osundare's involvement in performative poetry is an attempt to fulfill her social responsibilities and connect with her community as her collective poetry is expressed through performance. The rhetoric of his poems and the structure of their presentation explains why he uses the techniques and resources of the African oral tradition in many of his poems. The purpose of this study is to explore the intertextual relationship between the second generation of Nigerian artists and the new Nigerian artists in terms of colonial influences and relationships. This study shows that poet Niyi Osundare is a second generation iconoclast through which he influenced the poetic landscape of contemporary Nigeria. This study shows that contemporary poets are not significant and methodologically influential to other secular poetic texts, so the aesthetic principle of poetry is emphasized when the dialogue between texts is seen in the form of Osundare poetry. Osundare tells about the paradigm shift of intertextual relations from a vertical point of view, and the artistic practices preserved from the colonial period are the vertical practices of the postcolonial space. The research is qualitative in nature and primarily analyzed primary and secondary data from the literature, original research and literature review. This study also uses poststructuralist intertextuality as a theoretical framework to explore the extent of intertextual relationships. This study suggests that in order to understand recent Nigerian poetry in English, there is an urgent need to explore the history of their intertextuality. Beyond the intertextual dimension, this study demonstrates that the symbiotic relationship between power and traditional formation provides an ontological framework for examining the aesthetic experience of recent English poetry in Nigeria.

Abstract

"An Education" is a drama movie from 2009 that was directed by Lone Scherfig and produced by Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey. It features an ensemble cast including Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina, Rosamund Pike, Dominic Cooper, Emma Thompson, and Olivia Williams. The central character in the movie is Jenny Mellor, a hardworking 16-year-old student. Her parents have high hopes for her to attend Oxford University. However, Jenny's orderly life starts to change when she develops an unlikely relationship with David Goldman, a middle-aged man. This study examines the portrayal of Jenny Mellor, the main character in the movie "An Education," through the lens of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. The study aims to analyze the various forms of intelligence that Jenny Mellor possesses and how they shape her personal and academic growth. Utilizing Gardner's theory, which acknowledges different types of intelligence beyond traditional academic measures, this study explores how Jenny's intellectual, social, emotional, and creative capacities are depicted in the movie. The analysis utilizes qualitative methods, including content analysis and narrative interpretation, to explore the diverse aspects of Jenny's intelligence. The findings reveal that Jenny demonstrates strengths in linguistic, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence, while also displaying aptitude in other domains such as musical and Visual-Spatial intelligence. Furthermore, the study sheds light on how Jenny's diverse intelligences influence her decision-making, relationships, and overall development. This study contributes to a deeper appreciation of the multifaceted nature of intelligence and illuminates the character development of Jenny Mellor through the lens of Howard Gardner's theory.

Abstract

This study examines the manifestation of personality disorders through the character of Theodore Finch in the film adaptation of "All the Bright Places." The research specifically analyzes how Finch's personality disorder affects his behavior, relationships, and ultimate fate within the narrative. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study collects data through careful examination of selected scenes that demonstrate Finch's personality disorder symptoms. The theoretical framework utilizes Freud's structural model of personality, focusing on the id, ego, and superego as fundamental components that shape human behavior and decision-making processes. The analysis reveals that Finch's personality is significantly influenced by the dynamic interplay between these three psychic structures. The findings demonstrate how his impulsive actions are predominantly driven by the id's pleasure principle, while his ego attempts to mediate between his internal desires and external reality. Additionally, the study shows how his superego's moral constraints create internal conflicts that contribute to his psychological struggles. Through scene-by-scene analysis, this research provides insights into the complex representation of mental health in contemporary cinema and contributes to the broader understanding of how personality disorders are portrayed in modern media. The study's findings offer valuable perspectives for both film analysis and psychological character studies

Abstract

This study analyzes the speech acts in the poem "Aku" by Chairil Anwar using a pragmatic approach to uncover the meaning contained in locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. As one of the most iconic poems in Indonesia, "Aku" embodies expressions of freedom, resistance, and individual existence articulated through distinctive language choices. The aim of this study is to understand how the message in this poem is communicated through these three types of speech acts and its relevance in the social and cultural context of Chairil Anwar's era. This research uses a qualitative method with descriptive analysis. The data, in the form of the poem "Aku", is analyzed based on speech act theory. The analysis process includes identifying the types of speech acts, interpreting the meaning based on the pragmatic context, and evaluating the perlocutionary effects generated by each line of the poem. The results show that the poem is rich in locutionary acts that affirm the poet's self-expression, illocutionary acts that reflect a stance of resistance to social norms, and perlocutionary acts that inspire readers to reflect on the meaning of freedom and courage. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the poem "Aku" by Chairil Anwar is not only an aesthetic literary work but also imbued with pragmatic values that reinforce the message of courage, freedom, and personal identity. These findings are expected to enrich pragmatic studies in Indonesian poetry and provide new insights into how speech acts can be used to understand the messages in literary works.
