Abstract

This research examines Ruth Siburt’s ‘Anca’s Journey’ through the lenses of Liberal Feminism and Cultural Hybridity, focusing on how the story addresses traditional gender roles and the complexities of migration. Using Betty Friedan’s Liberal Feminism (1963) to explore themes of female empowerment through education and Homi K. Bhabha’s Cultural Hybridity (1994) to analyze identity negotiation as a secondary theory, As the results: 1) Anca’s Journey subverts traditional gender roles by portraying Anca’s intellectual growth as a central form of empowerment. Her education allows her to transcend societal expectations typically placed on young girls, aligning with Friedan’s feminist ideals. 2) The story highlights the resilience and agency of its female characters, particularly Anca and her mother, as they navigate societal pressures in a patriarchal, migration-focused narrative. Anca’s refusal to accept labels like "lame" demonstrates her resistance to restrictive social judgments, while her mother’s protective role illustrates maternal agency. 3) Anca's intellectual growth is a key factor in her ability to navigate her cultural environment, as she balances the expectations of her Romanian heritage with her new life in America. This reflects both feminist and hybrid identity formation theories. These findings illustrate how Anca’s Journey not only challenges traditional gender expectations but also reflects the broader social realities of migration, using education as a means of empowerment and identity negotiation.

Abstract

This paper critically examines Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl through the dual lenses of Freudian psychoanalytic theory and postcolonial criticism, revealing that the narrative articulates complex thematic oppositions through a multifaceted analysis. The study yields three key results: 1) Freudian constructs such as the ‘id,’ ‘ego,’ and ‘superego’ exemplify the internal conflicts of characters, emphasizing the dynamic tension between instinctual desires and moral control; 2) a clear binary opposition is established between the pursuit of freedom, embodied by characters like Captain Jack Sparrow, and the state of entrapment, exemplified by the cursed crew whose internalized guilt and consequences of greed bind them; and 3) the integration of psychoanalytic and postcolonial perspectives provides interdisciplinary insights, demonstrating how historical power dynamics and personal identity conflicts converge in cinematic storytelling. The significance of these findings lies in their potential to refine methodologies in literary and film criticism by offering a nuanced understanding of narrative complexity and cultural dynamics. Consequently, further research is expected to extend this dual-framework approach to a broader range of films and narrative forms, thereby enriching scholarly debates on themes of freedom, power, and identity within contemporary popular culture.
