Abstract

This study examines the portrayal of American religious stereotypes of Islam in the context of the 9/11 conflict as depicted in Ridley Scott’s Body of Lies. Using the theory of stereotypes and Swingewood’s sociology of literature, the research explores the relationship between factual and fictional realities. The analysis focuses on the film’s characters, plot, and setting to uncover how stereotypes are constructed and challenged. Findings reveal that the film conveys religious stereotypes through figures such as Al-Saleem, jihadist groups, and violent narratives linked to Islamic symbols. Simultaneously, it offers a critique of Western—particularly U.S.—policies via characters like Ed Hoffman and Roger Ferris, who engage in deception, manipulation, and covert operations. Notably, the character Hani Salaam is portrayed as a rational, honest, and principled Muslim, serving as a narrative counterpoint to negative depictions. Overall, Body of Lies presents a complex interplay between reinforcing and contesting religious stereotypes within a post-9/11 sociopolitical framework.

Abstract

This study examines the implied meanings in three selected poems by Langston Hughes—“I, Too,” “The Weary Blues,” and “Harlem”—using Charles Sanders Peirce’s theory of signs. The study aims to identify how icons, indices, and symbols function in constructing meaning within the poems. A descriptive qualitative method with document analysis is employed to examine textual elements and semiotic relations. The findings reveal that I, Too predominantly utilizes indexical and symbolic signs to express racial exclusion, identity, and the demand for social recognition. The Weary Blues demonstrates the most complex semiotic structure, as it incorporates icons, indices, and symbols to convey musical expression, emotional suffering, and cultural resilience. In contrast, Harlem relies mainly on symbolic signs to represent the psychological tension and social implications of a deferred dream. Overall, this study confirms that Peirce’s semiotic framework effectively uncovers the implied meanings in Hughes’s poetry and illustrates how semiotic signs serve as a medium for articulating African American experiences and social criticism.

Abstract

Pernikahan dini di Indonesia merupakan isu serius yang memerlukan perhatian untuk melindungi hak anak dan perempuan. Program "Empower Her: Inspirasi Perempuan Melawan Pernikahan Dini" bertujuan memberdayakan perempuan muda untuk menghadapi dan mengatasi tekanan pernikahan dini melalui berbagai inisiatif di Desa Mamungaa Timur, Kabupaten Bone Bolango, Kecamatan Bone Pantai, Provinsi Gorontalo. Metode yang digunakan dalam program ini mencakup sosialisasi melalui seminar dan lokakarya, pendidikan formal dan non-formal, serta pelatihan keterampilan dan pendidikan seksual. Selain itu, program ini menyediakan dukungan ekonomi melalui akses kredit mikro dan pelatihan kewirausahaan, serta dukungan psikologis dan sosial melalui konseling dan kelompok dukungan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan penurunan signifikan dalam angka pernikahan dini di wilayah yang terlibat, yang mencerminkan perubahan positif dalam persepsi dan perilaku masyarakat terkait pernikahan dini. Pemberdayaan perempuan melalui peningkatan kesadaran, keterampilan, dan dukungan ekonomi terbukti efektif dalam mengurangi ketergantungan ekonomi yang sering menjadi alasan pernikahan dini. Untuk memastikan dampak yang berkelanjutan, diperlukan dukungan terus-menerus dalam bentuk pelatihan keterampilan, pendidikan seksual, akses pekerjaan, serta layanan dukungan sosial dan psikologis. Langkah-langkah ini esensial dalam mempromosikan kesetaraan gender, menggali potensi penuh perempuan, dan mengubah norma budaya yang mendukung pernikahan dini.
