Abstract

This research examines gender stereotypes, and the roles and positions of women in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. The analysis utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, presenting and describing the data and findings in narrative form. The theoretical framework is grounded in Rosenstand's (2021) feminism, which advocates for equal opportunities and pay for women and men, free from gender-based discrimination. The research findings reveal four types of feminism depicted in the Little Women, focusing on the characters' choices between achieving their dreams and living within the confines of marriage. Little Women not only chronicles the characters' journeys from adolescence to adulthood but also illustrates their encounters with gender stereotypes embedded in societal and cultural constructs. The conclusion underscores the marginalized position of women, who lack the same opportunities as men. Various societal constraints limit women's freedoms, placing them in restrictive social roles and causing internal conflicts between pursuing personal desires and adhering to societal expectations.

Abstract

This research employed the lens of ecocriticism, which explored the intricate relationship between humans, culture, and the environment depicted in the novel. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this research delved into the narrative intricacies of The Interlopers, emphasizing the insignificance of human conflicts in the face of nature's might. By advocating for an ecocritical perspective, the study aimed to promote awareness of environmental issues and advocate for more sustainable and ethical interactions with nature. Through a comprehensive literature review, the paper situated The Interlopers within the broader context of ecocritical discourse, elucidating its contribution to understanding the complexities of human-nature relationships in literature. Ultimately, this research shed light on the profound implications of human actions on the environment, urging for a paradigm shift towards greater harmony and stewardship of nature. The research showed the power dynamics between humanity and nature, revealing how human greed and hostility interacted with the formidable forces of the natural world. Furthermore, it underscored the evolution of enmity between conflicting parties, highlighting the detrimental consequences of perpetual feuds fueled by arrogance and territorial disputes.

Abstract

This study examines how intellectual disability and structural injustice are constructed in Miracle in Cell No. 7, directed by Hanung Bramantyo. It aims to analyze the discursive construction of disability and the reproduction of structural discrimination within legal and social contexts. Using a qualitative research design with a critical discourse analysis approach, this study applies Critical Disability Theory to interpret selected dialogues and key scenes that reflect power relations and institutional practices within the narrative. The findings reveal that intellectual disability is constructed as deviance within legal discourse, leading to discursive marginalization and the denial of agency. Discrimination operates structurally through institutional mechanisms such as coercive interrogation, lack of accommodation, and biased legal procedures within the criminal justice system. At the social level, stigma and dominant cultural narratives construct disability as a marker of danger and incompetence, reinforcing exclusion and legitimizing injustice. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting how cinematic narratives reproduce institutionalized ableism across both legal and social domains. It contributes to Critical Disability Studies by emphasizing discrimination as a multidimensional and structurally embedded phenomenon shaped by power relations. Practically, the study underscores the need for disability-inclusive legal frameworks and increased social awareness to promote justice, equality, and dignity for persons with disabilities.
