Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the experience of trauma and the process of trauma recovery are represented in selected poems from the book Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. The objectives of this study are to (1) identify the depiction of trauma through Lucien Goldmann's (1977) Genetic Structuralism approach, and (2) examine the process of recovery from trauma based on Judith Herman's (2001) Trauma and Recovery theory. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative method and selected poems from the hurting and the healing section of Milk and Honey as primary data. The findings on the poems from the hurting section depict deep psychological trauma through fragmented language and minimalist style. Using Goldmann's genetic structuralism, the researcher found that the trauma depicted in the poems reflects not only personal suffering, but also the collective consciousness of women silenced by patriarchal structures. In addition, other findings show that the poems reflect the three main stages of trauma recovery proposed by Judith Herman: establishing a sense of safety, remembering and mourning, and reconnecting. These stages are found especially in some of the healing chapter poems, where characters express self-empowerment, healing, and emotional recovery after experiencing abuse, violence, and loss

Abstract

Abstract. This study explores the experiences of minority nurses in Makassar City who face racism in the workplace, using feminism and pragmatics theories. The high incidence of racism negatively impacts the psychological and professional well-being of minority nurses. This study aimed to understand minority nurses' responses and strategies to racism and identify expected support from hospital management. A qualitative method with purposive sampling was used to select informants, with data collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation. The results show that minority nurses face various forms of racism, such as prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination, and segregation. Based on the analysis from a feminist perspective, most of the key informants said there was no significant difference in the division of tasks between male and female nurses. Other informants stated that there were prominent differences in the division of tasks between nurses based on gender. Positively, results showed that informants were professional and calm in the face of racism, using strategies such as sharing stories with coworkers, pursuing hobbies, and exercising to reduce pressure. Informants expected strict sanctions for perpetrators of racism and anti-racism training for the new workforce. In conclusion, institutional support and clear policies are needed to protect the rights of minority nurses and address racism in the workplace. Keywords: Nurse, Minority, Racism, Feminism,   Pragmatics
