Abstract

In the current period, identity crises and the pursuit of existential significance are becoming increasingly complex psychological issues, exacerbated by social media pressures and high productivity expectations. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig has been analyzed using a variety of psychological techniques, but no research has examined how literacy serves as a tool for self-discovery in the book. Using the framework of New Literacy Studies (NLS) and a systematic close-reading methodology, this study examines how literacy operates as a transformative mechanism for identity reconstruction in The Midnight Library. The conceptualization of life as a textual possibility, reflective literacy practices through critical evaluation, cross-discursive identity negotiation, and the protagonist's transition from a passive reader to an active writer of their own existence were the four main themes that emerged from the analysis. These results show how literary works can serve as models for transformational literacy practices that mediate self-formation and advance narrative identity theory and literacy studies.

Abstract

The Russo-Ukrainian war that sparked since 2014 has triggered a national turmoil that affects the Ukrainian film industry. In the context of contemporary Ukrainian cinema, the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war with the indication of the presence of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukrainian soil, has allowed Ukraine to produce films and documentaries depicting resistance and the bravery of Ukrainian society towards the enemy of oppression. Following the journey of the main character, Kostia, in an attempt to rescue Ukrainian citizens of Bucha from the grasp of the Russian Armed Forces, Bucha (2024) becomes a film where Kostia acquires his self-transformation journey due to the presence of power relations. Using the visual and textual analysis of the selected scenes and dialogues in the film, curated by Foucault’s power relations and Nietzsche’s self-transformation concepts, this study discovered that in Bucha (2024), power relations specifically tied to the Kostia are manifested through mind and body, and has caused Kostia to have consciousness of old values (camel phase), evoking resistance to the oppression (lion phase), and defining his new values (child phase).
