Abstract

The discourses of the novels, Waiting to Exhale and The Color Purple, show the main characters exercising power in their social power relations, then gaining knowledge, and with knowledge, gaining power. In the former novel, the characters Robin and Bernadine gain knowledge through their relationship with Savannah and Gloria, while in the latter Celie gains knowledge through Nettie’s letters and her intensive acquaintance with Shug. This study thus aimed to analyze how Black women acquire power transformation, and what state of power Black women have before and after this transformation. Our findings showed, first, that they acquire support and help from close friends and families. Second, they gained knowledge and awareness about their positions and weaknesses. And third, they begin determining their wills, passions, and choices. Then, they transform their endurance into power over and power to change from being powerless and submissive into a powerful and self-determining personality. Using Foucault’s theory of power and Foucault’s discourse analysis method, the discourse shows that besides knowledge, self-determination and the supporting milieu are essential factors in gaining power transformation in power relations.

Abstract

The dominance of American academic standards has shaped scholarly writing practices worldwide, including in Indonesia. This influence is evident in the adoption of the IMRaD structure, APA citation style, English as the primary language, and reliance on tools such as Turnitin, Grammarly, and reference management software. This article shows how these forms of dominance operate within the author guidelines of Indonesian scholarly journals indexed by SINTA and how local academic actors engage in resistance and negotiation. Drawing on Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony and decolonial perspectives—such as epistemic disobedience (Mignolo), epistemic freedom (Ndlovu-Gatsheni), and ecologies of knowledges (Santos)—the research employs a critical qualitative approach. The data consist of 319 author guidelines from SINTA-accredited journals (levels 1 and 6), analyzed thematically and discursively. The findings show that while many journals conform to American standards, others resist by adopting non-IMRaD structures, alternative citation styles, and Indonesian or Arabic. In addition, local initiatives such as the Garuda portal and institutional repositories provide spaces for resisting epistemic domination. Overall, the article highlights both the persistence of American hegemony and the possibilities for negotiation, contributing to theoretical debates on academic power while offering practical insights for developing more autonomous and context-sensitive academic standards in Indonesia.
