Abstract

This research examines the lexical accuracy of Meta AI’s machine translation in translating Instagram’s captions in English into Indonesian on the @buttonscarvesbeauty account. Using a descriptive qualitative analysis based on Molina and Albir’s (2002) taxonomy, the research evaluates lexical fidelity, translation strategies, and the accuracy of meaning transfer through the aspects of accuracy, appropriateness, and acceptability. The results show varied translation performance, with significant challenges in handling beauty related technical terms and marketing language. Simple terms such as “hydration” (hidrasi) demonstrate high accuracy, while more complex terms like “fine,” “airbrushed,” and idiomatic expressions such as “Make every wink count” are translated literally, losing their persuasive function. The system tends to rely on literal translation with limited use of modulation, transposition, and adaptation strategies. The findings suggest that machine translation is still inadequate for marketing content, which requires cultural adaptation and persuasive language. Beauty brands still need a human touch to keep their brand identity and message consistent. This study looks at how effective machine translation is in social media marketing, and gives practical suggestions to improve the quality of automatic translations in commercial settings.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited comparative analysis in previous research on musical films, which often focuses on single-text interpretations of gender, identity, and family representations. Accordingly, the objective of this research is to examine how Mamma Mia! constructs these meanings within the broader context of contemporary musical cinema by comparing it with The Sound of Music, Frozen, and Little Women. This study employs a qualitative research method using comparative textual analysis, drawing on representation theory, feminist media theory, and the sociology of family. The findings demonstrate that Mamma Mia! not only reflects evolving gender norms but also actively redefines family structures through post-patriarchal representations, emotional autonomy, and the concept of chosen family. In contrast to earlier cinematic traditions, the film indicates a shift toward postfeminist sensibilities characterized by agency, fluid identity, and affective kinship. This study contributes to media studies by emphasizing that musical films function as ideological spaces where social meanings are negotiated and transformed.

Abstract

This study examines game shows as a form of popular culture that functions not only as entertainment but also as a medium for reflecting and disseminating the social values of their countries of origin. In the context of globalization, the strong influence of British and American entertainment industries has enabled their game shows to reach global audiences while implicitly transmitting particular cultural ideologies. Using a descriptive qualitative method and Roland Barthes’s semiotic framework, this research analyzes the meanings of denotation, connotation, and myth in two iconic programs, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (UK) and Jeopardy! (US). The findings reveal that each show embodies distinct cultural values. The British program tends to emphasize self-control, politeness, and social hierarchy, reflected in the formal interactions between the host and contestants and in the game’s overall restrained structure. By contrast, the American show highlights individualism, aggressive competition, and materialism, as seen in its dramatic presentation and strong focus on personal achievement. At the mythic level, the American program is dominated by narratives of “instant success” and the “American Dream.” In contrast, the British program more strongly projects myths of “social justice” and a “dignified process.” These findings suggest that game shows operate as vehicles of cultural ideology, with the values they promote reflecting the social identity and structure of each nation.

Abstract

Differences marked by skin color, body shape, hair color, etc. are the basis for the term 'race'. Such differences should be understood as racial pluralism not superiority. This plurality ultimately leads to a tendency to make stereotypical judgements and treat others based on such considerations. This research aims to find the issue of racism depicted in a film entitled "IP Man 4: The Finale". The researchers are interested in studying further the representation of racism issues through the media film. This research uses the semiotic theory proposed by Roland Barthes with a qualitative approach by making in-depth observations on each scene of the film. As a result, the researchers found that the racial practices depicted in the film "IP Man 4: The Finale" were racial separation efforts implemented at the time.

Abstract

This paper aims to highlight pragmatic failure and to analyze the translation errors made by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students at Everest English Course, Surabaya. The researcher focuses on the mistakes often occurring in English classes. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative, which focuses on describing student's translation errors. The acquisition uses the theory introduced by (Corder, 1967; Richards, 1971) to identify the types of interlingual or intralingual matters. The research involves 25 randomly selected students of varying ages (male and female) as subjects of this examination. They were given some translation tasks for seven phrases and sentences without looking up the meaning in a dictionary. The most frequent mistake appeared in the phrase "Thank you before," produced by 80% of students. Other recurring errors included "Thanks God" and incorrect adjective forms like "I am boring". The findings indicate that the students' errors were strongly influenced by the structure of their first language (L1). The results suggest that teaching translation should focus more on fixed expressions, pragmatic usage, contrastive understanding of sentence patterns, and pedagogical implications.

Abstract

Contemporary cinema has become an important medium for examining power relations within social institutions, particularly the family. The Iron Claw (2023) portrays the tragic story of the Von Erich wrestling dynasty, highlighting how patriarchal authority, masculinity, and bodily discipline shape the lives of family members. Although Foucauldian perspectives have been widely applied in film studies, research specifically examining The Iron Claw through Michel Foucault’s concepts of power remains limited, particularly regarding the interplay of disciplinary power, power/knowledge, biopower, governmentality, and resistance within the family institution. This study aims to analyze how patriarchal power is represented, reproduced, and contested in The Iron Claw using Michel Foucault’s theoretical framework. The study employed a qualitative research design using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA). The data corpus consisted of the full film, with selected scenes, dialogues, and visual elements, including cinematography, editing, lighting, and sound, purposively selected based on their representation of patriarchal authority, masculinity, bodily discipline, and resistance. The findings suggest that disciplinary power and power/knowledge constitute the dominant mechanisms through which Fritz Von Erich shapes his sons into disciplined subjects who internalize ideals of masculinity, achievement, and family loyalty. The analysis further indicates that bodily commodification represents how the sons’ bodies become resources for preserving family legacy and achieving professional success within the wrestling industry, while governmentality encourages self-discipline and continuous competition. Resistance emerges through Kevin Von Erich’s rejection of inherited patriarchal values and his construction of an alternative understanding of family, masculinity, and personal well-being. Overall, the film suggests that patriarchal power is sustained through discourse, bodily discipline, and self-governance rather than direct domination. This study contributes to Foucauldian film studies by extending the application of Foucault’s theory to sports biopics and enriching scholarly discussions of masculinity and family power relations in contemporary cinema.

The theory used in this study is the "Theory of Prejudice" proposed by Gordon Allport, which helps in understanding how negative perceptions of certain groups can develop into discriminatory attitudes and actions. The results of this study provide deep insight into how racism is presented in entertainment media and its impact on social consciousness.
