Abstract

This research re-examines or re-analyses the paradox in the novel Wuthering Heights, but focuses on the paradox contained in the identity of the characters based on the narrator's narration. The paradox is created by the contradiction of the place where the characters live, namely nature and culture, then heredity and environment. This research discusses how these contradictions can create and become a factor in the formation of paradox in the character's identity. This research also discusses what paradoxes are found in the character's identity which is an important element in the story of Wuthering Heights. The theory used in this research is Deconstruction proposed by Jacques Derrida as the main foundation in analyzing the object. The research design used in this research is literary criticism. The approach used is an objective approach, where the focus of analysis is entirely on the object of study. The primary data source of this research is the novel Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Brontë and secondary data obtained from other sources such as relevant journals, books, and media articles. This research shows that the opposition of nature and culture, then heredity and environment, has no dominant side. However, these oppositions influence each other and create complexity, thus creating various paradoxes in the character's identity.

Abstract

Film studies have increasingly adopted social theory as a framework for visual analysis; however, the application of Michel Foucault's concept of panopticism to realist coming-of-age cinema remains limited, particularly in explaining how disciplinary power operates through ordinary social interactions rather than formal institutions. This study aims to examine how panoptic mechanisms are visually represented in Kelly Fremon Craig's The Edge of Seventeen (2016) and to demonstrate the usefulness of Foucauldian theory in realist film analysis. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with document analysis, the research analyzes six selected scenes through close reading of cinematic elements, including mise-en-scène, shot scale, camera angle, and spatial design. The findings reveal that visual techniques such as shallow depth of field, high-angle framing, extreme close-up, and medium tracking shots, combined with everyday settings including parties, bathrooms, cafeterias, and classrooms, construct conditions of asymmetric visibility, self-monitoring, and normalizing judgment. Rather than relying on explicit authority figures, the film depicts discipline as emerging through peer observation and internalized social expectations. These visual strategies encourage characters to regulate their own behavior while reinforcing dominant social norms. The study concludes that Foucauldian panopticism provides a systematic analytical framework for understanding how realist coming-of-age films naturalize disciplinary power through cinematic form and everyday spaces.
