Abstract

Natsu Hyuuga’s novel The Apothecary Diaries Volume 1, portrays the lives of harem women confined within the patriarchal structure of the imperial court, where beauty functions as the main determinant of their value and survival. The purpose of this research is to examine how women’s beauty is narrated as an object for male characters and how the narration transforms this beauty into an erotic spectacle that exploits and oppress them. This research, using qualitative textual analysis and Laura Mulvey’s Male Gaze theory, the research shows that women’s beauty in the novel is consistently constructed through male-centered desire. Female characters are described through only their appearances such as clothing, hair, skin, and body while their opinion is silenced, reducing them as visual objects. Furthermore, the narration employs aestheticizes language, symbols and metaphors that eroticizes women into spectacles of desire. However, this eroticization of women functions as a form of exploitation, as women are valued primarily for their beauty and usefulness, then discarded once they lose their functions. These mechanisms reduce women to commodities, exchanged and manipulated to maintain patriarchal authority. In conclusion, beauty in the novel operates as a fragile tool that offers temporary recognition but simultaneously exploits women, reinforcing patriarchal power and restricting their autonomy.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze how the character Link in Mainstream (2020) experienced and expressed social anxiety within the pressures of digital visibility, using Clark and Wells’ cognitive model of Social Anxiety Disorder as the primary theoretical framework and the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) theory as the supporting framework. Clark and Wells (1995) argued that social anxiety developed through processes such as distorted self-perception, fear of negative evaluation, self-focused attention, and maladaptive safety behaviors. Meanwhile, the U&G theory explained how audiences actively sought entertainment, identity reinforcement, social interaction, and validation, which in turn shaped a content creator’s behavioral patterns. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method by analyzing selected scenes, dialogue, and visual elements that illustrated Link’s psychological tension and online engagement. The findings revealed that Link’s social anxiety manifested through defensive speech, emotional withdrawal, exaggerated self-blame, and heightened sensitivity to public criticism. The analysis also showed that audience gratifications played a major role in influencing Link’s online behavior, pushing him toward extreme actions to maintain attention and approval. Overall, the research concluded that Link’s characterization reflected the destructive interaction between social anxiety and the pursuit of online validation within digital culture. These results contribute to a broader understanding of how films portray psychological vulnerability shaped by digital pressures.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how representation of The Nurul as a social construction that reflects the dynamics between religious identity, gender and modernity in Indonesian society. The term the Nurul was first introduced by content creator Halda Rianta in the PodHub podcast in January 2024, and went viral on social media. The Nurul is often associated with behaviors such as dancing in cafes, enjoying fast food such as seblak, riding motorbikes and wearing casual clothes such as knitted sweaters and Korean-style wire glasses. This study uses a qualitative approach with content analysis and the theory of representation of Stuart Hall reveals how this stereotype influences public perception of women who wear the hijab and how they associate their identities in the digital space. The result, this study is a representation of the complexity of the identity of women who wear the hijab who try to balance religious values ​​and the demands of a modern lifestyle. This study also investigates the impact of social media on views and behavioral judgments, specifically in cultural and religious settings.
