Abstract

This research aims to interpret romantic themes in Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love by revealing the meaning of love in the lyrics of the song. It employs a descriptive qualitative research design to identify and interpret the meaning of the song. The primary data of this research was obtained from Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love and secondary data from internet webs, journal articles, textbooks, and other online resources. The data was analyzed by using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis which consists of six steps: (a) familiarizing with the data; (b) generating initial codes; (c) searching for themes; (d) reviewing themes; (e) defining and naming themes; and (f) producing the report. The data was also interpreted by using Roland Barthes’ semiotic concept: denotation, connotation, and myth. The result of the research reveals that the song describes the author's feeling of being in accidental love when he does not know anything about love before. His feelings and experiences are associated with falling in love unexpectedly, including chaos, happiness, uncertainty, courage, hope, and magic. The meaning of his love in this song is an experience that is unexpected, full of excitement, and sometimes chaotic, but also provides deep meaning and happiness.

Abstract

Abstract. This study explores the experiences of minority nurses in Makassar City who face racism in the workplace, using feminism and pragmatics theories. The high incidence of racism negatively impacts the psychological and professional well-being of minority nurses. This study aimed to understand minority nurses' responses and strategies to racism and identify expected support from hospital management. A qualitative method with purposive sampling was used to select informants, with data collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation. The results show that minority nurses face various forms of racism, such as prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination, and segregation. Based on the analysis from a feminist perspective, most of the key informants said there was no significant difference in the division of tasks between male and female nurses. Other informants stated that there were prominent differences in the division of tasks between nurses based on gender. Positively, results showed that informants were professional and calm in the face of racism, using strategies such as sharing stories with coworkers, pursuing hobbies, and exercising to reduce pressure. Informants expected strict sanctions for perpetrators of racism and anti-racism training for the new workforce. In conclusion, institutional support and clear policies are needed to protect the rights of minority nurses and address racism in the workplace. Keywords: Nurse, Minority, Racism, Feminism,   Pragmatics
