Abstract

This research delves into feminist themes within the novel "I'm not the Perfect Mexican Daughter," focusing on the depiction of women through the perspectives of two key female characters. Employing feminist literary analysis, the study investigates how Chicana women are represented in a society entrenched in patriarchal norms. Drawing from Garcia’s Chicana feminist and Tong’s feminist theories, it argues that women occupy subordinate positions due to entrenched male dominance. Despite advancements in the public sphere, Chicano women are still expected to adhere to traditional family roles, being judged primarily on physical appearance. Men are portrayed as dominant figures, wielding power in economic and social realms. Through the lives of the main characters, the novel highlights the challenges and contradictions faced by Chicana women amidst the women's movement. It presents an idealized image of womanhood emblematic of Chicana experiences in the United States, exploring Julia's defiance of gender norms, Olga's complex negotiation between conformity and rebellion, and Ama's struggle with societal expectations.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the discursive discourse on the American dream in the novel American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins. This novel tells the life of Lydia and her son, Luca as immigrants in the United States. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method supported by Stuart Hall’s represnetation theory and belonging theory. The narrative of Mexican immigrants built by Cummins illustrates the ideals of achieving the American dream for a better life in the existing characters. However, the life that is dreamed of does not go completely as it should. Lydia and Luca are trying to achieve their ideal goals as new citizens. However, minority construction is still a hindrance. With the theory of representation and belonging, the depiction of Lydia and Luca’s lives is a process that immigrants should face. The rejection of the majority by the minority is an ongoing negotiation process and is not easy to achieve. Lydia and Luca are representations of Mexican immigrants who still have to negotiate the search for identity in a new community in the United States.

Abstract

The term machismo, originating from Chicano culture, refers to the construction of masculinity among Chicano men. The Chicano identity itself emerged from the migration of Mexicans to the United States, a process that began with the shifting of the border between Mexico and the U.S. This historical context gave rise to a new cultural identity, including a distinctive form of machismo among Chicano men. This study aims to analyze the representation of machismo in Chicano men as depicted in Luis Alberto Urrea’s The House of Broken Angels. To conduct the analysis, the study employs Bacca Zinn’s theory to explore the meaning of machismo in Chicano culture alongside Stuart Hall’s theory of representation. Methodologically, this research applies a descriptive qualitative approach using library research, with data drawn from the novel’s narration and dialogues. The findings suggest that The House of Broken Angels portrays Chicano machismo as rooted in traditional Mexican masculinity while simultaneously reflecting the cultural identity of Chicano men.

Abstract

Disney's animated films is produced not only to provide entertainment but also to deliver messages in it. Most Disney animated films have a target audience of children. The element of persuasion that includes every message will be one of children's character-building in real life, including how the film constitutes gender identity in children, which will affect the development of their lives. One of Disney's animated films is Encanto film which was released in 2021. The purpose of this research is to describe the moral values of the characters in Encanto film, especially observing the identity of the women depicted in this film. The research method uses a qualitative narrative approach to analyze Encanto film. This study uses Stuart Hall's representation theory and Christian Metz's Semiotic Analysis Method (MAS), or cinematographic semiotics. By the critical paradigm, this MAS is qualitatively interpretive. A method that focuses on signs and texts as objects of study and how researchers interpret and understand the code (decoding) behind the signs and texts. The study revealed the women's identity on the main character, Mirabel in the film Encanto. This identity is mainly found from the stereotypical Mirabel identity as a woman. The other marginalization, subordination, power, and workload differentiate Mirabel’s identity as a woman from men in Encanto film
