Abstract

Halal Fiction is a sub-genre that seeks to represent Muslims in a way that reduces Islamophobia. Islamophobia often perpetuates grand narratives that marginalize women's identities, particularly in regions where the population is predominantly Muslim, such as the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. A descriptive-qualitative approach is one methodological strategy within decolonialism, aimed at redefining heteropatriarchal Islamic principles. This approach can be informed by feminist decolonial theory, as proposed by Françoise Verges. The novel Ayesha at Last addresses inequality in marriage and Islamic paradigms through its characters Ayesha and Farzana. This portrayal challenges the perception of Islam as immoral, particularly among Muslim women. Farzana believes that Ayesha has become a moderate Muslim woman, eroding traditional Muslim values, which she deems unsuitable for her son Khalid to marry into. The research aims to challenge stereotypes of Muslim values, advocating for equality between men and women regardless of geopolitical and educational status. The findings reveal that through the character of Ayesha, who transitions from traditional to moderate Islam, the novel demonstrates that Islam is a religion that upholds equal values between men and women, without any inherent differences or harm to one another.

Abstract

Colonialism is one of the events of colonization of Europeans or Western nations to a nation or continent with inferior value to its customs, intellectuality, and marginalization. It results in the distingency of social structures that experience racial inequality and discrimination, including black people. White supremacy perpetuates an ideology that can take away the human rights of blacks, especially the ideal identity of masculinity, the black men. Black men are represented as beasts, combat-ready pioneers, obedient slaves, and so on. This representation becomes a construction of an ideological discourse that marginalizes black people. This discourse affects psychological and social dualism and intersectionalism that rests on resistance to white supremacy. This study aims to reveal the discourse of the identity of idealistic masculinity in black men. The method used is descriptive-qualitative. This method is employed in relating the problems that occur to Alfa Ndiaye who experiences the traumatic experience of the death of his best friend in his life journey while tracing racial equality between the countries of Francophone, France-Africa (Senegal). This study uses intersectional, masculinity, and racial studies. The material object is the novel At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop. In contrast, the formal object is ideology's effect in identifying masculinity's attributes in black people, especially in the main character, Alfa Ndiaye. Thus, white hegemony always uses various ways to make the ‘wounded masculinity’ of Ndiaye feel pressured and it is considered that their savagery is beneficial for Captain Armand in raising French independence.

Abstract

This research is the formula analysis of popularization of science fiction in representing the neurodivergent character, Cora, in Show Us Who You Are. The novel, exposes the female autistic who would be the next hologram creation of Pomegranate’s experimentation. The method used in this study is an inductive-qualitative approach with comprehensive data collection and analysis that generate arguments and critical thinking. The material object used is the novel Show Us Who You Are written by Elle McNicoll, while the formal object is the formula put forward by Raymond Williams about conventions and inventions in the science fiction genre. The combination of science fiction and middle grade makes Elle McNicoll's work unique in reconstructing the romanticization of neurodivergent character from the neurodivergent perspective. Thus, these innovations are presented in various formulas which deconstruct the binary narrative through feminist critique in soft SF formed by the author in the delivery of an inclusive neurodiversity movement.
