Abstract

This study aims to look at the cultural representations within the cover of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from three different countries, namely the United Kingdom, the United States, and Indonesia, and how the cultures of three countries influence the focuses represented on the cover. Using cultural semiotic theory by Yuri Lotman, this research uses a descriptive-analytical method to analyze the visual and verbal texts synchronicly and diachronicly on the basis of temporal context to see the relationship between the culture and the focuses. This study indicates several cultural representations on each cover that can only be seen when these focuses are analyzed with their diachronic aspects. Some of the focuses only appears on one cover and not on the two other covers because there are no correlations between the focus it represents and the culture of that country, so the cover chooses to display other focuses which do have cultural and historical correlations with the country. These cultures are represented and contributed to influence the focuses displayed on the cover. The influence on each focuses could take the form through its pose and portrayal, size comparison, visibility, location, color, and also the style of the illustration itself.

Abstract

This study examines the film Pinocchio (2022) by Robert Zemeckis in comparison to the 1940 version of old animation on the basis of mise-en-scène. The analysis was done using the descriptive analysis method with the film approach and the films are analyzed on both the narrative and cinematographic aspect. The result showed that two films show a lot of similarities since they were both made on the same story. The analysis of the narrative aspect showed that they have different opening and conclusion in plot, have extra more characters in the new film, as well as show different social setting of the film. The cinematic examination proved that the new film put more details on the props of cuckoo clocks made by Geppetto and the lighting analysis showed that the 1940 version used constant high-key lighting while the new version used both low-key and high-key lighting. The 2022 version also used various camera angles and movements, while the 1940 version used constant standard camera angles throughout the film. The overall analysis showed that while the old version is made simply for young audiences, the new film targets audiences of not only young children, but also young adults.

Abstract

The issue regarding female gender roles has been circulating for so many years in many cultures. The issue can be seen in many media including a novel where it brings up the matter along the plot in the story. This article aims to see women empowerment in comparison to the female gender roles represented in Crazy Rich Asians novel by Kevin Kwan. To support this research, the theory used is Eagly’s Gender Role theory and Malhotra’s Women empowerment theory. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method to elaborate on the female gender roles and women empowerment. The results showed that this novel portrays that the female gender roles and stereotypes came from the residual culture and the women empowerment happened when the female characters can choose their own life path for their own sake by their own decisions. It shows that despite the culture that bonds the female characters for generations, they can still speak up for themselves and choose what is good for them.
