Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of verbal harassment against female tourists using a pragmatic analysis approach. The focus of this study is the interaction between a South Korean YouTuber, Jiah, and two local men in Bunaken, North Sulawesi. This study uses speech theory (Austin & Searle), speech implicature (Grice), and politeness in language (Brown & Levinson) to examine how everyday speech can encode the implicit meaning of harassment. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with pragmatic discourse analysis techniques. Data was obtained from Jiah's video transcript entitled "Become a Friend with the Om | To Bunaken from Manado". The results showed that male speakers used directive and interrogative forms of speech to control conversations and suppress opponents. Violation of the maxim of relevance and manner of giving rise to harassing implications, accompanied by violation of the principle of linguistic politeness. This phenomenon reveals power imbalances and gender bias in cross-cultural interactions. This study confirms that language serves a social function as a tool of symbolic domination, and opens up a new discussion space regarding the ethics of public communication in the tourism sector.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the need for a critical reading of women's representations in colonial-themed literary works, since women's bodies, voices, and social positions are often shaped by patriarchal power relations as well as layered colonial systems. This study aims to describe the image of women in the novel Rasina by Iksaka Banu, covering self-image (physical and psychological aspects) and social image (family and colonial society). A qualitative approach with a descriptive-interpretative design was employed through reading and note-taking techniques, with textual units from the novel Rasina (2023) as the main data source. Data were analyzed through identification, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing within Ruthven's feminist literary criticism framework. The findings reveal that Rasina is portrayed as possessing physical allure alongside a wounded, violated body, experiencing psychological trauma and fear, and occupying a subordinate position both domestically and as an enslaved indigenous woman within the colonial legal system. These findings affirm that Rasina represents the layered oppression of indigenous women arising from the intersection of gender, class, and race within colonial structures.
