Abstract

This essay presents a reading of Nick Joaquins The Woman Who Had Two Navels through the lens of feminist scholarship on the history and social construction of female hysteria. It argues that a critical intertextual reading of this sort affirms the heteropatriarchal foundations of popular ideations of the Philippine nation. It uses Sara Mills Feminist Stylistics to draw attention to Joaquins discourse on women, specifically, hysterical women such as Connie Escobar. It argues that the discourse of the novelits reliance on the stereotype of the hysterical feminine woman, its focalization through a male gaze, and its employment of the schemata of women asking for itexplains why readers find Connie Escobars inconsistent behavior and characterization not only plausible but even subversive. However, reading the novel from the lens of feminist stylistics also reveals instances where the novel reinscribes patriarchal ideology. Any reading that views Connie as a metaphor for the Philippine nation must therefore confront the patriarchal ideology that informs this vision of the nation.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate second/foreign language (L2) confidence of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learners. It employed a survey method. It involved 213 ESP learners from five different departments. Using descriptive statistics on SPSS, the study found a low-moderate level of L2 self-confidence among the participants. They reported interest in engaging in speaking activities in ESP classes. Nonetheless, they reported low L2 self-confidence regarding giving opinions and leading discussions in English and a low perception of their language competence in general. This low level of confidence could be attributed to the nature of ESP classes, which necessitate learners to study discipline-related vocabulary and language expressions, as well as several general aspects of L2 learning, such as pronunciation and grammar. Implications include encouraging ESP teachers to conduct more small-group-scale activities. That is to boost learners' confidence, increase learner-talk, and provide a safe environment for less confident learners to engage in the activities. This study contributes to the understanding of Indonesian ESP learners' self-confidence, and this could inform future studies involving ESP learners in Indonesia. Future quantitative studies on L2 confidence could use more representative samples. It is also strategic to conduct a mixed-methods study involving ESP teachers to allow triangulation.

Abstract

This paper investigates the question of representation in Burroughs Tarzan of the Apes. It probes into the representation of otherness, with a focus on the signification of race, religion, and gender. Written against the backdrop of postcolonialism, the paper contends that the construction of the black other, religious discrimination, and female inferiority by Western imperialists and patriarchy prefigure persistent domination in the new world order. In this qualitative descriptive study that is based on textual analysis as a research method, the primary data were collected from the novel Tarzan of the Apes. Concerning secondary data, articles and books pertinent to postcolonial studies and popular literature were consulted. It was discovered that blacks are represented as the unorthodox religious other embodying evil, darkness, ignorance, and primitive sensualism. Moreover, the black woman is pushed to the periphery and represented as a subject of barbarous polygamy, uncontrolled birth, and toys to satisfy mens desires. Furthermore, blacks are represented as hairless apes that are incapable of civilization. Finally, we discovered that the issue of the black other in particular was not a mistake by imperialists, but a well-planned scheme to concretize all the different forms of domination listed above, including the colonial agenda.

Abstract

Collage combines the semiotic tradition of Roland Barthes, the phenomenological tradition of Edmund Husserl, the critical tradition of Karl Marx, and the point of view of Jurgen Habermas in visual communication. The collage technique creates trans-aesthetic elements and double codes, a Dadaist method of encoding signs. Building on previous research, this study explores collage art as a communication act and its process in the digital era. Digital photography technology and computer software facilitate quicker and easier creation of collage art, emphasizing the fundamental concept of "paste." This pasting-sticking process mirrors the communication process of art and design in the digital era, illustrating cyclical communication capable of transcending space and time. The research has several conclusions. (1) By enhancing visual communication strategies and efficiency based on the spirit of the Dadaism renewal movement, unique collages can be created as a personal sign of message(s). (2) Collages as communication act in the digital era represent dialogue in trans-aesthetics code. (3) On the other hand, with the spirit of Dadaism that contains a free mind, open creation, and emphasis on social-cultural issues, collages as a communication process are also possible to frame messages and create fallacy.

Abstract

In English, a capital letter is used for the first word of a sentence and for all proper nouns (words that name a specific person, place, organization, or thing). This research finds the capitalization errors found in the English titles of journal articles. This research uses descriptive qualitative. The data are Jurnal Akuntansi dan Pajak (JAP) and Jurnal Ilmiah Ekonomi Islam (JIEI). The analysis shows that capitalization errors occurred in English titles, especially in writing prepositions such as in, too, the, and, or, on, of, by, from, for, as, and with. This can occur due to inaccuracy or misunderstanding about the use of prepositions. Writers are usually more concerned with the combination of words in each sentence and the continuity of the writing, the substance of the writing, rather than having to correct capital letters. In English, there is one type of word that basically cannot or should not be placed at the beginning of a sentence, namely determiner/article, prepositions, and conjunctions. Although the capitalization of words in titles might vary depending on the writer's/ author's, institution's, or publication's style, there are certain common capitalization principles to remember. 1) Any title's initial and last words should be capitalized. 2) Using capital letters for nouns and pronouns. Proper nouns are included in this category. 3) capitalizing helpful verbs and "to be" versions. 4) Capitalizing adjectives and adverbs, and 5) capitalizing articles in the title unless they are the first or last word. 6) In titles and short prepositions, do not capitalize short coordinating conjunctions like "and," "but," "or," "for," or "nor." In minimizing mistakes, it is important to know how to write capital letters in the correct title.

Abstract

The quill is dead; long live AI. Generative AI writing tools or what is commonly known as GAI or GenAI are becoming the students best friends. Today, they are largely used -and abused- by students and surprisingly even researchers looking for the perfect text. Patterning GenAI content like ChatGPT is still an unexplored avenue. From this perspective, this paper tries to provide structured guidance for struggling post-millennial learners. After asking ChatGPT to generate academic texts, a content analysis was conducted to unlock ChatGPT's seemingly perfect writing style. The results of the research uncovered a series of decoded patterns that offer a treasure map and an academic journey to GenAI minds. Furthermore, this showed that (over) relying on GenAI machines or competing with them is simply counter-productive. Therefore, learning WITH them is technically possible. Imagine for a second the great potential of such cooperation human-machine. Speed isallied with imagination. Why not? Moving from a prohibitive approach to an inclusive one through learning with AI chatbots might be a solution.

Abstract

This research aims to uncover the social and environmental issues depicted in Mortal Engines (2018) and explore the possible implications the film promotes from the disparitys depiction concerning social and environmental justice. The study utilizes Huggan and Tiffin's Postcolonial ecocriticism and mise-en-scene theory, employing a descriptive-qualitative research method. The data is collected from the characters' dialogue and visual representations highlighting social and environmental injustice. The findings show that: 1) There are significant correlations and interconnectedness between different issues, resulting in social and environmental injustice within the film; 2) This injustice originates from ecological imperialism and is perpetuated by dualistic and binary thinking. These thinking patterns lead to bio-colonization, violence, abuse of power, marginalization, othering, and exploitation, contributing to power imbalances, social injustice, environmental racism, and degradation; 3) The depiction employs mise-en-scene, dialogue, symbols, allegory, visual language, and literary devices, the film effectively engages the audience and promotes social and environmental justice values; 4) The research also uncovers the film's role as an interventionist and counter-hegemony, advocating for social and environmental justice, decolonization, resistance, sustainability, humanity, and historicism.

Abstract

This research aims to explain the enigmatic fact in Sophocles Oedipus the King, where the discovery of regicide and origin coincides with the tragedy of patricide and incest in Oedipus. To achieve this, the research explores the unequal discourses of language and knowledge that result from the new awareness of the contingency of language. This research concludes with three discoveries through a forensic study of the discrepancies between the syntax in the text and the pistm of the dramatic character. First, the tension between the fate of the dramatic character (Oedipus) and the domination of the author of the text (Sophocles) is the symptomatic appearance of the unequal discourses between language as correspondence and language as a tool. Second, Oedipus tragedy of patricide and incest was a semantic reality rather than a real-life event representing a divine register. Third, as seen in the interplay between the oracle, fate, and the tragic self-knowledge in Oedipus the King, this drama explicates the incestuous origin of knowledge and its tragic impact on the body. This study contributes to the many-have-done discussions and critics of Oedipus the King. This research demonstrates that a lack of awareness regarding unequal discourses can lead to tragic consequences.

Abstract

As one of the most complicated concepts to translate, a number of translators and researchers have presented various strategies to transfer the meaning of culture-specific items (CSIs) from one language to another. Through eight translation strategies used by professional translators based on Baker, this paper aimed to find the most applicable strategy to find a way around culture-specific items. In addition, this paper also attempted to categorize CSIs found in Tim OBriens The Things They Carried according to Newmarks five taxonomies of foreign cultural words. The comparative model in translation studies and comparative research were applied as methods to obtain and analyze data from both the source text and target text. The results showed that out of five taxonomies, social culture has the highest percentage overall with 45%. Furthermore, translation by paraphrase using unrelated words also has the highest percentage among the eight translation strategies with 31%. Therefore, it can be concluded that translation by paraphrase using unrelated words is the most applicable strategy to translate CSIs found in The Things They Carried.

Abstract

This research delves into a comprehensive analysis of impoliteness strategies used by Otto, the main character in the movie A Man Called Otto, drawing upon Culpepers model. The objectives encompass the identification of the most common type of impoliteness strategy and the examination of the function associated with each type. Moreover, the qualitative discourse analysis method was used to gain a deeper and more holistic comprehension of the research objectives that encompass a broader context beyond sentences. Within this method, a total of 155 instances of Ottos impolite speech were meticulously examined. The findings revealed two facets: first, there are three types of impoliteness strategies, namely positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and withhold politeness. Among these, positive impoliteness emerged as the most frequently used strategy, followed by negative impoliteness and withhold politeness. Second, two functions attributed to the three impoliteness strategies used by the main character are found, namely affective impoliteness and coercive impoliteness.
