Abstract

This research explores the depiction of hegemony in four literary works: The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Girl of Kosovo by Alice Mead, and The Thief of Baghdad by Alexander Romanoff. Through Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony, this research analyzes the impact of political, ethnic and patriarchal power on individuals and society. In The Kite Runner, ethnic hierarchy in Afghanistan is reflected through Pashtun-Hazara relations. A Thousand Splendid Suns reveals the oppression of patriarchy and the Taliban regime's rule over women. In contrast, Girl of Kosovo depicts the trauma of war through political-military domination amidst ethnic conflict in the Balkans. The Thief of Baghdad presents a fantasy narrative of resistance to the tyranny of the authorities through symbolism and class tensions. Although set in different contexts, these four works demonstrate the universal theme of struggle against hegemonic power and the role of literature in articulating both trauma and hope. The analysis uses a qualitative approach by examining quotations, symbolism, dialogue, and characterization to identify forms of hegemony. As a result, literature becomes a reflective medium that highlights the multidimensional impact of hegemony in history and culture. This research demonstrates the relevance of Gramsci's theory in understanding complex global socio-political dynamics.

Abstract

The film Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022) depicts a forbidden relationship within the context of class differences and gender inequality. This study aims to explore how adultery is portrayed as an act of social resistance and how class conflict is revealed in the interactions between Connie Chatterley and Oliver Mellors. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a sociological perspective. Data were drawn from selected scenes and dialogues in the film and analyzed through the lenses of literary sociology, contemporary intimacy theory, and class theory. The results indicate that Connie and Clifford’s marriage is portrayed as an aristocratic institution that stifles emotional intimacy and drives Connie to seek freedom outside it. Her relationship with Mellors not only violates marital norms but also challenges rigid class boundaries. In this context, the affair is seen as both a form of social resistance and an opportunity for personal transformation. This study concludes that the affair in the film functions not only as a violation of norms but also as a reflection of resistance against class structures and social boundaries in modern society.
