Abstract

The growth of Indonesian literary works began since the generation of Pujangga Baru brought literature to the surface. Many poets, novelists, and writers emerged, bringing about their works which remain popular in the present. This paper is a critical discourse analysis which aims to find the dominant ideology represented in the Contemporary Indonesian Poetry from the 1960s to the 1970s. The data were taken from Contemporary Indonesian Poetry translated by Harry Aveling (1975). There are 11 poems that were analyzed in this study. They are Sermon, Pickpocket’s Advice to His Mistress, and Prostitutes of Jakarta Unite! byW.S Rendra, Two Poems with One Title, Space, and Who Are You by Sapardi Djoko Damono, Between Us, Prayer and Image by Ajip Rosidi, and A Tale Before Sleep and Cold Unregistered by Gunawan Muhammad. By using the Seven Building Tasks proposed by James Paul Gee (2011), the researchers analyzed each poem based on the seven tasks. The result shows that the dominant ideologies in Contemporary Indonesian Poetry from the 1960s to the 1970s are in the matters of socialism and humanism. Socialism here covers the condition of social life at that time where there power abuse occurred from the powerful people towards the powerless ones. On the other hand, humanism merely covers the condition of human beings, especially Indonesians, at that time.

Abstract

This study investigates the discrimination against three Afro-American women in Hidden Figures. Critical Discourse Analysis proposed by Fairclough (2012) was used in this study to deconstruct the discrimination and provide solutions to tackle the problem. The CDA was supported by the analysis on language through Systemic Functional Grammar by Halliday (2004) and the analysis on body language by Jäger and Maier (2009). The result shows that the discrimination in the movie can be differentiated into discrimination based on the level and the cause. The discrimination based on the level includes the individual, institutional and structural discrimination. Based on the cause, discrimination based on race (racism) and dis- crimination based on gender (sexism) are illustrated in the movie. The racism is developed from racist ideology, while the sexism is caused by sexist ideology. Finally, the ideologies are represented through language and body language.

Abstract

This paper aims to find what types of metaphor are there in the novel Anak Semua Bangsa and the strategies for translating those metaphors employed by the translator in translating Anak Semua Bangsa into Child of All Nations. In order to do so, the researchers employed Dunn’s (2015) types of metaphors for data classification and Shi’s (2014) strategies of trans- lating metaphors. The data were taken from the novel Anak Semua Bangsa for the source lan- guage data and Child of All Nations for the translation version. This study finds that there are three types of metaphors found in Anak Semua Bangsa novel, i.e. modulated (62.67%), source-target (29.33%), and interpretive (8.00%). The translator of Anak Semua Bangsa was likely to employ either using literal translation or changing the metaphor to meaning strate- gies for translating metaphors. In conclusion, regardless for what purposes the translation is, the translation product should preserve above all the meaning rather than the forms.

Abstract

In language learning, mastery of vocabulary is crucial. However, in Indonesia, where English is taught as a foreign language, vocabulary is often taught incidentally and given little priority. Due to the importance of vocabulary, a comprehensive language learning strategy is needed. As an example, vocabulary-learning strategies (VLS) can facilitate the development of vocabulary. This study aims at investigating VLS used by junior high school students in learning English. The data were collected by using Schmitt’s vocabulary learning strategies questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 31 statements administered to 50 junior high school students in the 8th grade at SMP N I Salatiga. Interviews were also conducted to obtain more information from the participants. The results show that the students choose practical, simple and fast strategies in learning vocabulary. Strategies such as checking if the word is also an Indonesian word, guessing the word’s meaning from the context, asking the teacher to give the definition, studying the word with their classmates, remembering the word by studying and paying attention to the word’s spelling, underlining the word, and using English media were frequently chosen in this study.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the struggle of a Chinese-American woman in The Red Candle, one of the vignettes in Amy Tans novel The Joy Luck Club (1989). The main character namely Lindo Jong, is confined with patriarchy and tradition and is forced to marry her fiance at her teenage. Fascinatingly, Lindo can free herself from the arranged marriage and her oppressive new family by a clever scheme. Spivaks strategic essentialism is then applied to scrutinize this particular issue. Indeed, by strategic essentialism, Lindo still upholds her value as a Chinese woman and her respect to her filial piety, also, she can obtain her own independence as a woman.Keywords: Chinese-American woman, patriarchy, tradition, strategic essentialism
