Abstract

Proficiency in the practice of interpreting refers to one’s ability to effectively translate a source language into a target language while ensuring the meaning is conveyed accurately. This research specifically focused on the use of Indonesian as the source language and English as the target language, which is crucial in the tourism industry, especially in Sungailiat City. This research used a survey-based approach and uses supporting theory as a research methodology to investigate the effectiveness of translation practices from Indonesian to English. Data collection includes interviews and observations. The primary data obtained was analyzed to reveal the challenges faced by tour guides or shoreline security officers in implementing these practices, as well as the potential opportunities available to them through continued implementation. The results of this research can increase the awareness of professionals directly involved in the tourism industry and provide educational insights for tour guides and local communities managing tourist attractions. Additionally, it can contribute to improving the skills of guides, thereby expanding their knowledge to encourage socio-economic growth in the Sungailiat tourism sector.

Abstract

Barbie Movie has become a popular culture icon in the United States and worldwide. Barbie's live-action movie portrays Margot Robbie as a Barbie stereotype who is beloved, beautiful, and ideal. However, behind the glamour of Barbie's beautiful and perfect world, there is a deep-seated construct of American beauty standards, especially for girls and women's unrealistic expectations. This research examines the theoretical framework proposed by Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty Myth theory to explore how the Barbie film promotes and reinforces existing beauty standards in America. This study tried to analyze the Barbie film, identifying how Barbie's character constructs ideal beauty attributes so that the movie plays a role in influencing society's perspective on beauty standards, creating feelings of inferiority through the characters. This study provides a deeper understanding of how mass media and popular culture can influence perceptions of beauty by using qualitative methods to describe the data and Post-National American Studies as an approach to delve how movie is produced as a representation of American society. In addition, this study found that Barbie movie represents the beauty myth, such as physical perfection, eating disorders, and agelessness. At the same time, the narrative of the movie reflects a social critique of empowerment and stereotypes significantly for woman. Moreover, this film emphasizes that being a woman must meet various criteria, especially the typical white American woman as the world's standard of beauty.

Abstract

Although several tourist destinations in the Bangka Belitung Islands, particularly in West Bangka, Central Bangka, and South Bangka, derive their names from local folklore such as Mercusuar Mentok, Batu Balai, Pantai Tanjung Ular, Pantai Tapak Antu, Pantai Lampu, and Pantai Batu Berakit the narrative structures and cultural meanings embedded in these place names have received limited scholarly attention. As a result, the role of folklore-based place naming in shaping spatial identity and cultural memory within tourism contexts remains insufficiently examined.This research aims to analyze the narrative structure and cultural significance of the names of these tourist destinations using Vladimir Propp's narrative theory and Edward Said's postcolonial perspective. It employs a descriptive-interpretive qualitative approach involving field observations and semi-structured interviews with twelve local communities. Data were collected from oral narratives, literature reviews, and local documents. The findings reveal that each place name exhibits distinct narrative function patterns, including interdiction, violation, recognition, return, absentation, villainy, struggle, testing, and reward, which together shape the moral and spiritual values of the Bangka Belitung community. Additionally, the study incorporates a postcolonial view that highlights the folklorization process of these tourist attraction names in Bangka, as an effort to negotiate local identity and transform colonial influences into autonomous cultural symbols. This study contributes to the field of cultural toponymy and tourism studies by demonstrating that the naming of tourist attractions in Bangka Belitung functions not only as a geographic identifier but also as a narrative structure that preserves collective memory and operates as a postcolonial strategy of symbolic resistance, reinforcing the cultural identity of the Bangka Belitung people.Keywords: Bangka Belitung; folklore; narrative structure; postcolonial; Vladimir Propp
