Abstract

This research investigates how archetypes within children's literature not only reinforce cultural traditions and values in collective unconsciousness of individuals, but also emphasize the role of family unity and generational continuity in maintaining cultural heritage in a modern, globalized context in the preservation of cultural identity within the children's book "A Lucky Chinese New Year." By analyzing the Hero, Child, and Caregiver archetypes as embodied by the characters, the primary Jungian theory used in the analysis is Carl Jung's Archetypal Theory (1959), particularly focusing on the collective unconscious and universal archetypes. Meanwhile, Confucianism theory by Tu Weiming (1985) was used as the secondary theory to discuss cultural context. The study reveals how these archetypes support the themes of cultural preservation, renewal, and family unity. As the results: 1) Lily's actions embody the Hero's journey, demonstrating how even small actions by young individuals can significantly contribute to maintaining cultural traditions; This reinforces the idea that cultural preservation is a collective effort that transcends age. 2) The Child archetype in Lily symbolizes new beginnings and the continuity of cultural practices across generations, emphasizing the role of the younger generation in sustaining and revitalizing traditions and reflecting a cyclical pattern of cultural renewal. 3) The Caregiver archetype, embodied by Lily's family, highlights the importance of family support in upholding and transmitting cultural heritage. Together, these archetypes illustrate the interconnectedness of individual and collective efforts in creating narratives with similar themes to ensure the cultural traditions are preserved and passed down to future generations; this demonstrates the powerful role of children's literature in cultural preservation.

Abstract

This research examines Vera Southgate “Beauty and The Beast” through the lenses of Feminist literary criticism. Focusing on how the story adresses traditional gender roles and transformation. Using Simone de Beauvoir to explore the role of women in society. As a result: 1) The narrative suppresses conventional evaluations by shifting focus from physical appearance to inner virtue and emotional transformation. Beast’s appearance does not fit societal expectations. It makes society, Beauty, does not accept the Beast by his physical appearance. 2) Traditional gender roles are actively imposed, marginalizing female agency and reinforcing patriarchal norms. The traditional gender roles between women and men in society are shown in this literature, where men are more dominant and providers while women are caretakers and submissive. 3) The interrelationship of power between characters illustrates a dialectical relationship in which dependence and autonomy are continuously renegotiated. True love is not based on physical appearance, but it is from the kindness from the heart. It can make a big transformation when someone finds their true love. This analysis is significant for its contribution to feminist literary criticism, as it illustrates the dual capacity of literature to both reinforce and challenge societal structures. It is expected that these insights will stimulate further research into the transformative potential of narrative in reshaping gender identities and power relations.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating the challenges of being a double minority and the impact of societal expectations on their sense of self in Gene Luen Yang's graphic novel, "American Born Chinese," exploring the themes of identity, racism, and discrimination prevalent within the narrative. Distinguishing novels from graphic novels, the study emphasizes the unique storytelling method of graphic novels, utilizing pictures with dialogue bubbles to convey complex and specific stories. The discussion centers on the novel's three interconnected stories featuring a monkey deity, Jin Wang, a Chinese boy facing bullying, and an American authentically Chinese individual named Jin Wang, addresses the issue of racism, particularly focusing on the superiority of white society and the stereotypes associated with the Chinese in American society, the Post-colonialism theory by Robert J. C. Young (2001) was used in the analysis. As a result: 1) Racism as the Central Theme: The racism is the central and overarching theme of the graphic novel. It explores how the narrative effectively portrays instances of racial discrimination and stereotypes, particularly focusing on the superiority of white supremacy and the negative perceptions associated with the Chinese in American society. 2) Impact on Identity: it shows the profound impact of racism on identity, emphasizing the challenges faced by the characters, especially Jin Wang, as a double minority; the struggles of being an American-born Chinese with a different belief system (Confucianism) and 3) It eventually shows the character’s identity reconstruction rather than a manifestation of identity crisis. The narrative encourages readers to reflect on the negative impact of racism, discrimination, and the importance of embracing one's true identity. Ultimately, the analysis serves as both an educational tool and a critique of societal issues, promoting empathy and understanding in the face of adversity.

Abstract

This study aims to view the different gender portrayals of females in society from the film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)”. In the point of view of patriarchal society, the females are often depicted as passive and innocent individuals. By using the qualitative method and Feminist-Psychoanalysis framework by Gilbert, S. M., & Gubar, S. (1979), this research investigated the idealization of women and different treatment of men and women. The analysis of the film, as the primary object of study, involves close examination of its cinematography and dialogue to enrich the data. As a result: 1) Snow White and the Evil Queen represent contrasting attitudes of women in the patriarchal society and get different treatment by the men. 2) The ideal beauty of Snow White intimidates the Evil Queen’s jealousy, leading to a mother-daughter conflict. 3) The different treatment of men and women contributes to the shaping of female trauma through the character's past events. This analysis highlights the reality of how females are often treated and how societal norms frequently frame women identity based and appearance and personality. Understanding this dynamic is important to recognize that women are always treated differently. Hopefully, this study would enhance the study of feminism and encourage further research into these critical issues. Future research could explore more whether they uphold or challenge old gender ideas. It would also be valuable to study how today's viewers understand the film's gender roles and beauty standards.

Abstract

This research analyzes the film Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) to understand that gender is a repeated action rather than a fixed biological identity, using Judith Butler's theory of Gender Performativity (1990). By using a qualitative method to focus on the narratives and dialogues, this study examines through the body-swaps of character between the four main characters, also the challenges that the characters face on the new avatar’s body. The findings show: 1) Bethany's transformation serves as a deconstruction gender as a biological and fixed identity; 2) Martha's struggle with her role that demonstrates gender is a set of compulsory, subversive repetition; and 3) The character's adaptation reveals that identity is fluid and created by personal choice, not rigid social rules. This study concludes that the film serves as a powerful illustration for gender fluidity. This research is significant as it highlights that a fun, and popular movie may help people understand complex ideas about identity and gender while encouraging audiences to think critically about the stereotypes in everyday life. It is hoped that future researchers will apply similar critical lenses to other narratives to further explore how media influences the fluid construction of gender identity.
