Abstract

This paper explores how the film Wicked (2024) constructs beauty privilege by contrasting the representations of Glinda and Elphaba, focusing on the interplay between physical appearance and power relations. Through a qualitative analysis of representation, the study investigates both visual and textual components in pivotal scenes, drawing on Stuart Hall’s theory of representation alongside Naomi Wolf’s feminist perspectives. The results indicate that Glinda’s alignment with conventional American beauty ideals affords her social acceptance and narrative dominance, whereas Elphaba’s unconventional looks lead to her marginalization despite her eventual defiance. Wicked (2024) both upholds and critiques established beauty hierarchies, illustrating how beauty functions as a political tool that influences identity formation, power structures, and social legitimacy within contemporary Hollywood cinema. Few studies explore how beauty advantage creates "othering," especially in molding Elphaba's marginalization in Wicked (2024), despite earlier research on beauty standards in movies.

Abstract

his study examines the representation of racism in the film The Six Triple Eight within the broader context of cultural, media, and representation studies, where racism is understood as a socially constructed and historically embedded phenomenon. Studies that have already been conducted on racism in movies typically use semiotic analysis or Critical Race Theory (CRT) independently, which leads to disjointed methods that are unable to explain how audiovisual signs function as mechanisms for creating and reproducing racial ideology. This study addresses this research gap by integrating CRT and Roland Barthes’ semiotics into a unified analytical framework. This study aims to identify the types of racism depicted in The Six Triple Eight and examine the ways in which these depictions carry ideological meanings. Purposive sampling is used in this study’s descriptive qualitative methodology to select settings that both overtly and covertly represent racism. Repeatedly watching the movie, taking methodical notes, and documenting screenshots as visual evidence are some methods for gathering data. Three steps comprise the analytical process: first, identifying pertinent visual, verbal, and symbolic signs; second, using Barthesian semiotics to interpret their meanings at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth; and third, contextualizing these meanings using CRT to reveal systemic racial structures and underlying power relations embedded in the narrative and its visual construction. The results show that racism appears throughout the movie in a number of interrelated ways, such as institutional racism, racialized gender discrimination, microaggressions, and cultural racism. These forms are created using subtle cinematic elements, including body language, spatial arrangements, and symbolic references, in addition to overt events and conversation. These symbols serve to legitimize the marginalization of African-American women in the military institution and to normalize white supremacy at the mythological level. This study concludes by showing how racism in movies functions as an ideological framework ingrained in audiovisual representation. By connecting visual signification with structural critique, the merger of CRT and Barthesian semiotics allows for a more thorough analysis, making theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions to the study of racism in film.

Abstract

Slavery was an integral part of the history of the founding of the United States. This phenomenon gave rise to views of racism and classism that disregarded the essence and dignity of human beings who were not considered human. This study aims to uncover the practices of racism and classism depicted in the film Emancipation (2022). This article employs a descriptive qualitative method with a behavioral approach within a socio-political framework. Data collection techniques were conducted by watching and analyzing the film Emancipation (2022). The data obtained consisted of facts, descriptions, and information about the issues depicted in the film Emancipation (2022). The results of this study indicate that racism and classism during the era of slavery were complex phenomena that were interrelated. The physical violence and dehumanization depicted in the film align with the definition of slavery, which emphasizes the use of power and violence to maintain control and exploitation.

Abstract

This study investigates how Lee Isaac Chung’s film Minari (2020) represents cultural hybridity and diasporic identity negotiation within a Korean-American immigrant family in Arkansas. Using hybridity and diaspora theoretical frameworks, this research addresses how Yi family balances preservation of Korean cultural heritage with adaptation to American societal norms. Through semiotic and narrative analysis, the study finds that Minari portrays hybrid identity formation as a dynamic and intergenerational process characterized by both cultural retention and adaptation. It reveals familial conflicts and solidarities that highlight differing aspirations-such as Jacob’s pursuit of the American Drea, balanced against the family’s Korean heritage, and Monica’s emphasis on familial cohesion. The diaspora community emerges as a crucial space for articulating multifaceted identities and supporting resilience amid economic and social challenges. These findings illustrate how Minari critically engages with immigrant experiences, offering nuanced insight into identity negotiation beyond assimilation paradigm.

Abstract

Punk rock music has frequently been associated with social and political criticism, yet its ideological representation and resistance mechanisms remain underexplored in linguistic and cultural studies. This study examines how ideology is represented and resisted in Green Day’s Holiday, released on the American Idiot (2004) album, within the context of post-9/11 American politics. Specifically, it aims to describe how the song constructs the ideology of war through Stuart Hall’s constructionist perspective and to analyze how its lyrics reflect Michel Foucault’s concept of counter-conduct as a form of resistance. A descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis was employed, using the song lyrics as the primary cultural text, while Antonio Gramsci’s concept of hegemony served as a conceptual bridge between the two theoretical frameworks. The findings reveal that the song deconstructs the ideological normalization of war through symbolic re-articulation and de-naturalization while simultaneously promoting counter-conduct by rejecting passive citizenship and militaristic nationalism. These findings demonstrate that punk rock lyrics function as a powerful site of ideological contestation and contribute to interdisciplinary studies of language, popular culture, and critical discourse.

Abstract

In Indonesia, Roblox is currently trending and is widely played by online gamers in Indonesia, ranging from millennials to Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who play this online gaming platform from the United States. As part of digital globalization, Roblox is not only a medium of entertainment, but also a means of socialization, identity formation, and the spread of global culture, especially American culture. Most Indonesian Gen Zers use this platform to interact, be creative, and even build cross-border relationships, but they also have the potential to experience a shift in local cultural values due to the strong influence of foreign cultures. This study aims to detect how Roblox shapes the way Indonesian users interact by allowing them to communicate, collaborate, and express themselves through avatars, thereby building a digital identity that reflects the style and culture of the younger generation. The author finds that Roblox has evolved into a global digital space that reflects the culture of the younger generation. As participatory entertainment, this platform allows players to be creative and explore the virtual world. From a socialization perspective, Roblox creates a cross-cultural communication ecosystem that encourages the exchange of values and lifestyles. In addition to being a learning tool, Roblox has been proven to build real connections, with some players even forming friendships and romantic relationships in the real world, showing that the boundaries between the digital world and social reality are becoming increasingly blurred

Abstract

This study examines racial injustice and forms of resistance represented in the film American Skin (2021). Using Critical Race Theory, a post-nationalist perspective, and Douglas Kellner’s Popular Culture framework, the research addresses systemic racism within U.S. policing and legal institutions. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, key scenes, dialogues, and narrative strategies are analyzed to reveal representations of institutional racism, legal inequality, racial profiling, and media framing. The findings show that American Skin constructs a counter-narrative of resistance through counter-storytelling that amplifies marginalized Black voices and exposes structural oppression. Analysis of audience responses on Rotten Tomatoes indicates polarized reception, demonstrating how popular culture operates as a contested ideological space. Overall, the film functions as both media representation and cultural resistance, contributing to public discourse on racial justice
