Abstract

This study analyzes gender representation in Wonder Woman (2017) and Black Widow (2021), two important works that introduce female characters as main protagonists in the superhero genre. Although both feature strong, independent, and agency-filled female characters, this analysis shows that both films are still influenced by patriarchal elements that objectify women through the representation of the bodies and visual appearance of the main female characters. Using the male gaze theory introduced by Laura Mulvey (1975) and the perspective of gender analysis in media, this study aims to reveal how, despite efforts to empower women, visual depictions still highlight the sexual dimension of the female characters' bodies, reminiscent of visual structures that tend to focus on male fantasy. This study also discusses how these depictions remain trapped in a socio-cultural framework that perceives women in terms of physical beauty and sexual attractiveness. Using a qualitative approach, this study uses content analysis of key scenes in both films to trace gender representation and explore the narratives and characters that develop throughout the story. The results show that although there is room for empowerment and change in the superhero genre, women's bodies are still unavoidably objectified in these films. This research is expected to contribute to developing gender representation theory in film and offer further insight into the transformation of women's roles in Hollywood film narratives.

Abstract

Women’s struggles against patriarchy remain a crucial subject in feminist and postcolonial scholarship, yet limited attention has been given to how cinema contributes to theorizing subaltern subjectivity. This study addresses the gap by analyzing North Country (2005) through feminist criticism and postcolonial theory, particularly Spivak’s concept of the subaltern. The purpose is to examine how women’s silenced voices in patriarchal structures are represented and how subaltern subjectivity transforms into political agency. Using qualitative textual and film analysis, the study integrates Spivak’s subalternity with Butler’s performativity, Foucault’s disciplinary power, Fraser’s redistribution and recognition, and Mohanty’s transnational feminism. Findings show that the mine functions as a patriarchal microcosm, but resistance and solidarity enable women to reclaim voice and agency, redefining the feminist maxim “the personal is political” and extending its resonance transnationally. The study concludes that North Country (2005) is a cultural artifact dramatizing the journey “from subaltern to subject,” underscoring cinema’s role as a theoretical production.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the improvement of mathematical connection skills in early childhood through snakes and ladders game activities. This study is backgrounded by low mathematical ability, namely cognitive development in children aged 5 - 6 years. This is allegedly due to the lack of interesting media that teachers use in learning. Many teachers pay less attention to the use of real-world contexts, particularly in cognitive development programs. Teachers tend to use more worksheets and the games used are also less attractive to children. This study uses case study method, data collection technique using observation, interview, and documentation. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that through the game Snakes and Ladders can improve the ability of mathematical connections in cognitive development in early childhood, especially in children aged 5 - 6 years.
