Abstract

This study examines how @PuriViera’s YouTube vlogs construct an imagined nation from the perspective of an Indonesian woman in diaspora living in California, United States. Functioning as video epistolaries, @PuriViera’s vlogs present American life through the narrator’s Indonesian perspective, constructing an idealized life built through the integration of Indonesian cultural habits into an American suburban setting. In doing so, the vlogger draws on her in-between, diasporic identity to establish narrative authority and credibility, generating the desirability of the life she portrays. The study focuses on three vlogs; Pengeluaran Seminggu di Amerika (2025), Sekolah TK di Amerika (2025), and Pesta Rumahan di Amerika (2024), as research objects, placing them within narratological frameworks to examine the construction of imagined national identity and diasporic life through focalization, voice, and the selective deployment of tripartite capital within the vlogs as texts. The analysis demonstrates that the imagined nationhood is produced not by American material culture itself but by the narrator’s Indonesian perspective, which selects, frames, and narrates American life for an Indonesian audience. The narrator’s authority emerges precisely from Puri’s in-between position, and her sustained Indonesianness amid American life is the specific condition that makes this imagined Indonesianness legible and credible to the audience. The study concludes that @PuriViera’s vlogs operate as a utopian narrative apparatus in which the narrator’s diasporic perspective is the mechanism that makes the ideal nation imaginable, displaying selected aspects of everyday Indonesian life against the amenities of the desired American social landscape as the benchmark for an ideal life.

Abstract

Background: This study examines the narrative transformation of Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, from a female superhero to a villain in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), positioning the transformation within current debates on gender representation in superhero cinema. Purpose: Drawing on Susan Lanser's feminist narratology, the study examines how narrative techniques carry gendered ideological meanings that reshape women's subjectivity within patriarchal storytelling conventions. Methods: This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. Objects were gathered through close reading of visual cues, cinematic techniques, and dialogue across twenty-two purposively selected scenes, with attention to narrative order, focalization, and mise-en-scène. Result: The results show that the movie systematically uses narrative order and masculine focalization strategies as the rational eye to construct Wanda's character, pathologized as hysterical, while the male heroes were framed as heroic sacrifice. Conclusion: The analysis found that motherhood was used as an instrument of the monstrous feminine, by which women’s emotional power is recast as an existential threat to a male-governed cosmic order. Implication: The findings extend feminist film criticism by showing how narrative order functions as a structural device for the cinematic deconstruction of maternal agency in mainstream superhero films.
