Abstract

This article discusses the gossip practices of Muslim women in the film Tilik the Series. This study focuses on Muslim women to explore how they are represented in the media, especially in Indonesia, a country with a Muslim majority. In a culture influenced by Islam, religion shapes social norms and behaviors, including gossip. The film Tilik the Series depicts Javanese women, who are predominantly Muslim, although non-Muslim characters may not be prominently featured. This article aims to reveal how the process of gossip by women wearing the hijab is carried out as a storytelling tool and also plays a role in forming and maintaining social norms as well as revealing the types and functions of gossip among them. Apart from that, gossip in Tilik the Series is not just empty talk, every gossip practice has a different type and function, and each type and function can narrate the ins and outs of social life, which can be destructive and transformative. The method used is qualitative by identifying the relationship between types of gossip and function of gossip with the character of Muslim women. The conclusion is that the Muslim women in the film when gossiping tend to talk about the situation in their family environment or what we call the house-talk type. The gossip they do contains incitement so it can influence the opinion of the person they are talking to.

Abstract

The portrayal and adaptation of characters in movies often reflect societal norms and values, with "blackwashing" emerging as a significant phenomenon. Blackwashing refers to casting black actors in roles traditionally portrayed by white characters, often as part of efforts to promote representation and address historical inequalities. This study explores the types of retroactive continuity (retcon) found in black characters within popular culture films through the perspective of blackwashing. The research employs Hutcheon’s (2013) adaptation theory, which conceptualizes adaptation as creative reinterpretation rather than mere replication, alongside Friedenthal’s (2017) retcon framework and Genette’s (1997) qualitative transformation theory for supplementary analysis. Using a qualitative approach, the study applies the documentation method for data collection and Spradley’s (2016) analysis technique. Seven adapted films (hypertexts) are compared to their original works (hypotexts), revealing three distinct types of retcon: reinterpretation, reinscription, and revision. These findings demonstrate how adaptation practices not only reshape narratives but also challenge traditional representations to align with evolving social values. The findings highlight how adaptation practices reshape narratives to address historical inequalities and enrich representation in media. This research contributes to the understanding of blackwashing as a tool for inclusivity and social progress in film adaptation. Future studies are recommended to explore blackwashing across diverse cultural contexts and genres to deepen insights into its impact on global representation and audience reception.
