Abstract

This study investigates the issue of gender performativity in Stieg Larsson’s novel The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2008). Judith Butler’s ideas on gender performativity serve as the theoretical framework of this study. A qualitative method is preferred as the study is heavily permeated with textual-analysis. The main objective of this study is to center on Larsson’s presentation of Lisbeth Salander in challenging boundaries in terms of how gender is presented and perceived. The study also provides analysis of other female characters, to see if they challenge or conform to the socially accepted notions of what it means to be a woman. The findings show that Stieg Larsson imbues his novel with the idea of challenging female stereotypes by developing fluidity within Salander’s gender identity. Larsson further ingrains gender performativity in all the female characters – they perform their gender identities differently in order to protect themselves from male-dominated society. However, the novel proves to be paradoxical as it shows an incessant reference to female characters in inferior circumstances. Keywords: Feminism, Gender, Identity, Performativity, Stereotypes

Abstract

This research paper entitled “American Idiot”: Examining Readers’ Subject Position in One of Green Day’s Music Albums is aimed at investigating the ways by which the sixth album of Green Day, American Idiot (2004), ideologically positioned the implied readers in opposite to the USA political agenda. A qualitative descriptive study is employed in this present study. In analyzing the album, which consists of 13 songs, three theoretical frameworks are used: ideological analysis by John Lye (1997), context framework by Adrian Beard (2001), and John Stephens’ (1992) narrative transactions—where he locates the implied readers as the ideological function of a text. By having those frameworks within the analysis, the study discovers five socio-cultural issues, recognized as an attempt to position the implied readers in opposite the US political agenda in Bush administration. These assumptions within the issues known as a subject position are ideologically offered to the readers or the implied readers through narrative aspects; point of view and narrator. Keywords: implied author, implied reader, subject position, ideology, narrative.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of work motivation moderation on employee performance at the Samudera Nizam Zachman Fisheries Port Jakarta by analyzing the influence of the work environment and company image. The study population consisted of 110 employees Data was collected and analyzed using SmartPLS to test the hypothesis. The results of the study show that the work environment has a positive and significant influence on employee performance, while the company's image does not show a significant relationship with employee performance. Work motivation is proven to have a positive and significant influence on employee performance, Motivation is able to moderate the influence of the work environment and company image on employee performance. This study has limitations on the independent variables studied, and recommends that the management of the Samudera Nizam Zachman Jakarta Fisheries Port pay attention to the work environment in employee placement to improve employee performance.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of Laura Mulvey’s male gaze in the Indonesian film Photocopier (2021), directed by Wregas Bhanuteja, through the framework of visual pleasure and narrative cinema. Other studies on Photocopier have explored semiotic representation, technology-enabled objectification, multimodal communication, critical discourse analysis, and cinematic techniques. However, none of them have systematically disclosed the psychoanalytic mechanisms of scopophilic pleasure and narcissistic identification occurring in the film’s narrative structure. This study employs a qualitative approach that combines Mulvey’s male gaze theory, Bordwell and Thompson’s film analysis method, Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, and Rose’s visual methodology. This study scrutinizes selected scenes involving sexual harassment, objectification, and male-female interactions. The findings reveal that male characters systematically perform scopophilic violence through digital technology while continuously constructing narcissistic self-images disguised as artistry, paternalism, or economic survival. Notably, the film refuses to reproduce scopophilic pleasure for its audience through its cinematography. The film positions viewers as empathetic witnesses rather than voyeurs. The study further highlights how the copier machine functions as a central metaphor in this narrative, transforming from an instrument of violation into a tool of feminist resistance, as shown in the final scenes. These findings offer a meaningful contribution to the growing psychoanalytic film discourse within Indonesian cinema scholarship. Furthermore, this study proves that Mulvey’s concept is not a finished framework but rather a generative one. It requires cultural and technological adaptation when applied beyond its original Western context.

Abstract

The increasing availability of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has transformed how EFL students engage with academic reading, yet little is known about how AI shapes learners’ metacognitive processes during reading. This qualitative study conceptualizes AI as a metacognitive mirror and investigates how EFL students use AI to monitor and repair reading comprehension breakdowns. Data were collected from undergraduate EFL students at a public university through academic reading tasks, screen recordings, think-aloud protocols, AI interaction logs, and stimulated recall interviews. Thematic analysis revealed that students used AI to externalize comprehension monitoring by confirming interpretations and articulating sources of confusion. AI also supported comprehension repair through strategy-specific and iterative regulation, enabling learners to request paraphrases, examples, and simplified explanations in response to perceived difficulties. However, the findings also indicate tensions between productive metacognitive support and uncritical reliance on AI, particularly when learners accepted AI-generated explanations without verification. The study contributes to AI-assisted reading research by shifting attention from learning outcomes to metacognitive processes and learner agency. Pedagogical implications highlight the importance of guiding students toward reflective and responsible AI use to support academic reading comprehension.
