Abstract

This study examines forms of female objectification and the practice of male gaze in three short stories from the collection titled 象の消滅/Zou No Shoumetsu by Murakami Haruki. Employing a qualitative approach and descriptive method, this research analyzes narrative excerpts from the short stories ねじまき鳥と火曜日の女たち/Nejimaki-dori to kayōbi no onnatachi, ファミリー・アフェア/Famirii afea, and 四月のある晴れた朝に 100 パーセントの女の子に出会うことについて/Shigatsu no aru hareta asa ni 100-paasento no onna no ko ni deau koto ni tsuite/. Data are scrutinized through the perspectives of Martha Nussbaum's objectification theory and Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory. The analysis reveals consistent patterns in female objectification and the practice of male gaze. Women are reduced to mere physical appearances without consideration for individual depth, while male gaze is reflected in the domination of masculine viewpoints focusing on the sexualization of women. Despite differences in context and character interactions among the three short stories, the pattern of female objectification remains consistent. These findings underscore the importance of critical reflection on the representation of women in contemporary Japanese literature and efforts to address gender stereotypes in literary works.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries actively sending migrants to Japan. In 2021, 59,820 Indonesians were recorded as living in Japan, with an estimated 70—80% identifying as Muslim. This study aims to describe the dynamics of halal product consumption among Indonesian Muslims in Osaka, Japan, through the lens of religious phenomenology. Data were analyzed using a qualitative approach with survey and descriptive-analytical methods. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and structured interviews with 31 respondents and 8 informants residing in Osaka between November 2022 and May 2023. The findings reveal that halal consumption practices in Osaka exhibit complex religious dynamics, transcending mere textual compliance with Islamic law. Halal consumption reflects spiritual efforts involving emotional, cognitive, and multisensory reflection. Informants with high levels of religious adherence demonstrated profound commitment through proactive efforts to consume halal products. These activities also fostered social solidarity, extending the meaning of worship to a collective dimension. Informants with moderate levels of religious adherence displayed creative adaptation to challenges, such as balancing flexibility with halal principles in the context of limited access and information. Religious phenomenology reveals that halal consumption practices among Indonesian Muslims in Osaka are not only efforts to maintain religious identity but also reflections of the adaptation and negotiation of spiritual values within a predominantly non-Muslim environment.

Abstract

Traditional riddle games such as nazonazo in Japan and tatarucingan in Sunda, Indonesia, have long been used as a means of entertainment and language and cultural education, but have not been studied in depth in terms of comparative form and thematic vocabulary meaning. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences in linguistic form, as well as the meaning and cultural implications of these riddles. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data consisting of 28 nazonazo riddles collected online and 19 tatarucingan from books, as well as interviews with Sundanese informants, which were then analyzed using matching and distribution methods to find lexical patterns and linguistic structures. The results show that both nazonazo and tatarucingan prioritize everyday vocabulary and wordplay techniques based on puns, double meanings, and light creative logic. However, nazonazo offers more phonetic variations, visual characters, and foreign loanwords with global nuances, while tatarucingan emphasizes closeness to local experiences, exploration of sounds, and concrete metaphors and comparisons to everyday reality. These findings show that the tradition of wordplay in both cultures not only provides entertainment, but also plays an important role as a medium of education, inheritance of values, and formation of the unique social identity of each community.
