Abstract

This research aims to analyze the use of slang words in Jonah Hill's Mid90s (2018) through a synchronic approach. By adopting Allan and Burridge's (2006) theory of slang categories, Partridge's (2006) classification of slang functions, and Watt's (1984) paradigm of slang representation, this study identifies different types of slang used in the Movie's dialog. It explores their functions in marking teenage identity. Qualitative analysis of the dialog data revealed four main categories of slang: fresh and creative, imitative, flippant, and clipping. The findings also identified three main functions of slang in the movie: society slang, solidarity slang, and trade slang. Further analysis shows how the characters' use of slang reflects and reinforces social dynamics and group identity in skateboarding culture. This research contributes to sociolinguistics by providing a new perspective on the representation of language variation as a marker of youth identity in the era.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of female subjectivity in the film Her (2013) through a postfeminist perspective. The film, directed by Spike Jonze, presents Samantha, an artificial intelligence, as a character who challenges traditional gender roles and offers a new lens through which to explore female identity in the digital age. It used a qualitative method, where dialogue, character actions, and interactions between Theodore and Samantha are analyzed to understand the representation of postfeminism in their relationship. By focusing on key themes such as freedom, gender relations, and identity formation, this study employs postfeminist representation of Helene Cixous and Judith Butler, to interpret Samantha’s role in transcending traditional gender constraints. The findings describe that Her (2013) postfeminist representation of female identity, where technology and emotional growth intersect, offering a critique of conventional gender norms. Her (2013) Samantha's journey highlights the identity, the film's critique of societal gender norms and its portrayal of a fluid, dynamic female identity that aligns with modern perspectives on empowerment and self discovery. Cixous advocates for women to actively participate in their liberation by "writing themselves." Samantha metaphorically "writes herself" by reprogramming her purpose and seeking experiences beyond what was intended for her.
