Abstract

This study aims to determine the perspectives of foreign media over the issue of political dynasty issue at the last presidential election in Indonesia. This study employed a qualitative approach. The data used is news from South China Morning Post titled “Nepotism May Win Indonesia’s 2024 Election”. To analyze the political text, two theories were applied. They are appraisal theory (Martin & White, 2005) focusing on the affect as part of the attitude aspect, and the ideological square concept (van Dijk, 2006). Based on the analysis, the findings showed that the reporter felt anxious (insecurity as a part of affect) about Joko Widodo leading through political dynasties, because this could hurt Indonesia. To show his negative view, the reporter emphasizes negative points about "them" (Jokowi and his party). In contrary, The post editor felt secure (security as a part of affect) in Jokowi, despite political dynasties based on his past success and popularity. However, he still emphasized the negative sides of political dynasties, even though he liked Jokowi. Meanwhile, the Indonesian analyst felt fear (disinclination as a part of affect). He worried that political dynasties would damage trust and may cause a long-term chaos. Thus, he emphasized the negative of Joko's strategies, not his qualities.

Abstract

This study discusses the representation of controversial issues in memes that appeared during the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, especially those related to human rights violations and the rejection of the LGBTQ community. The research uses a Critical Multimodal Discourse Analysis (CMDA) approach by combining the theory of representational meaning from Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) for the visual aspect and the theory of transitivity from Halliday (2014) within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) for the verbal aspect. Five memes were purposively selected from various social media platforms, (langsung saja ke sumber data) and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method. The visual analysis shows the use of various types of representational processes, such as symbolic attributive, symbolic suggestive, transactional narrative, and non-transactional narrative, which express social criticism through symbols, gestures, and spatial arrangements. Meanwhile, the verbal analysis reveals that material, relational, and verbal processes are frequently used to construct meaning and deliver criticism explicitly. This study concludes that memes are not only a form of entertainment but also an effective communication tool to express social and political criticism in a creative and accessible way for global audiences.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of academic pressure on college students’ emotional well-being and academic performance, with particular attention to the role of negative emotions. Academic pressure often arises from multiple sources, including heavy academic workloads, high parental expectations, strong self-imposed expectations, and limited peer support. These pressures may create challenging learning conditions that affect students’ emotional states and their ability to perform academically. Drawing on students’ narratives as the primary data source, this study examines how academic pressure contributes to stress, anxiety, fear of failure, and tendencies toward social withdrawal. The study aims to examine seven key aspects related to academic pressure, including negative emotional experiences, sources of academic stress, and the relationships between parental expectations, self-expectations, workload demands, and peer support in shaping students’ stress levels. Participants were selected using proportional stratified random sampling to represent diverse student groups. The findings indicate that high parental expectations often encourage perfectionism and fear of failure, while high self-expectations are associated with feelings of inadequacy and frustration. Heavy workloads contribute to academic burnout, reflected in emotional exhaustion, and reduced motivation. Limited peer support further intensifies negative emotions and weakens students’ sense of belonging.
