Abstract

Social Networking Sites (SNS) are big part of the life of Indonesians because it provides diverse virtual communities for Indonesians to consume and exchange information. The presence of Indonesian communities and global audiences in the virtual networks creates the need for Indonesians to employ various linguistic repertoires in order to join the conversations in the SNS. The present study aims at discovering the components that shaped the multilingual identities that six Indonesian urban university students project on Instagram using their multilingual repertoires. Using a combination of multimodal analysis of the students’ posts on SNS and a semi-structured interview, this qualitative study reveals that academic background, online activities, and audience’s expectations are the factors that contributed to the construction of the students’ online identities. Hence, this paper calls for more similar studies about the multilingual identity construction of Indonesian EFL learners on SNS in the future.

Abstract

This article examines how race and gender intersect to shape the lived experiences of African American women in Hidden Figures (2016), focusing on the strategies of negotiation and resistance employed within institutional constraints. Using qualitative textual analysis, this study applies Kimberlé Crenshaw’s Intersectionality Theory as the primary analytical framework, highlighting how systemic discrimination operates through organizational structures, social norms, and cultural expectations. The findings reveal that the female protagonists exercise agency through professional competence, intellectual problem-solving, and collective solidarity, which allow them to challenge exclusionary practices and assert visibility in a historically segregated workplace. By emphasizing the dynamics of negotiation and resistance, this study contributes to feminist, race, and cultural studies, demonstrating how intersectionality can illuminate both oppression and the strategies marginalized women employ to navigate and contest structural inequalities.

Abstract

The representation of marginalized groups, particularly women and Black communities, has long been a central concern in social and cultural studies. This study examines the intersectionality of racial and gender discrimination experienced by Black women as depicted in The Six Triple Eight (2024), directed by Tyler Perry. Using a qualitative descriptive method within an interpretative film analysis framework, the research investigates how intersecting identities, specifically race, gender, and class; are constructed and represented through the film’s narrative and character development. Drawing on Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theory of intersectionality, the analysis focuses on selected scenes, dialogues, and character interactions involving members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-Black, all-female military unit deployed overseas during World War II. The findings reveal key themes, including layered racial and gender discrimination, the resilience of Black women in confronting oppressive systems, collective solidarity among unit members, and the historical invisibility of their contributions. Furthermore, the study demonstrates how the film contributes to broader discussions on intersectional identity and the representation of marginalized groups. Overall, the findings suggest that The Six Triple Eight not only brings attention to the historically overlooked role of Black women in military history but also functions as a cinematic medium for reclaiming and preserving historical memory.
