Abstract

Naturalism is a literary movement that emerged in the late 19th century to portray life with scientific precision, emphasizing the influence of heredity, environment, and socio-economic conditions on human behavior. In drama, this approach offers a stark and unfiltered depiction of human struggles within oppressive social systems. This study aims to explore August Strindberg's Miss Julie through the lens of naturalism, specifically using Vernon L. Parrington’s seven characteristics of the movement: Objectivity, Frankness, An Amoral Toward Material, Determinism, Inclination Toward Negativity in Choice of Detail, Characters Are Liable to Specific Enticements and Pessimism. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzes selected dialogues from the play to identify naturalist elements. The findings reveal that Miss Julie strongly embodies all seven aspects, with a particularly dominant presence of negative detail (44%) and objectivity (20%). The discussion highlights how the characters’ actions are shaped by class conflict, psychological trauma, and instinctual drives, leading to tragic outcomes. Through its bleak realism and emotional depth, the play not only fulfills but also expands the boundaries of naturalist drama by dissecting themes of gender, power, and existential despair.

Abstract

This study examines the use of satire in Eko Kuntadhi’s Instagram posts within the context of digital political discourse. While previous studies have explored satire in mass media and television, limited attention has been given to satire produced by public figures on social media platforms. This study aims to identify types of satire and analyze their communicative functions using a critical discourse approach. This research employs a qualitative method with discourse analysis. The data consist of 58 satirical statements collected through documentation techniques from Instagram posts. The analysis is based on Abrams and Harpham's classification of satire, combined with critical discourse perspectives, to examine meaning, ideology, and power relations. The findings show that Horatian satire dominates (51.7%), followed by Juvenalian (31%) and Menippean (17.2%). Horatian satire uses humor to persuade, Juvenalian satire expresses moral criticism, and Menippean satire critiques ideological patterns. The study reveals that satire operates not only as a stylistic device but also as a discursive tool that reflects ideological positioning and power relations in digital political communication. This study contributes to linguistic and discourse studies by demonstrating that satire in social media functions as a strategic mechanism for negotiating meaning, ideology, and audience engagement in digital public discourse.
