Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Refugeesâ€™Â perilous experiences force them to flee home for safety. Their arrival from home country toÂ theÂ host country is not only often reduced to beÂ aÂ statistical number in factual reports but also seen as threats to national well-being. The study aims to provide the argument that poems provide a symbol of resistance towards refugeesâ€™Â given fate,Â and offer a platform for them to create their authentic version of knowledge.Â Poems are chosen to be analyzed in this study as they can mediate the refugeesâ€™Â unique experiences and their struggle to cope with the changing condition. The study argues that poemsÂ of and by refugees can serve as strategic means of preserving memories that connect them with their past,Â which shape their present andÂ constructÂ an alternative subjectivity against objectification and stereotypes pinned to them. PoemsÂ analyzed in this researchÂ areÂ â€˜Homeâ€™Â byÂ WarsanÂ Shire,Â â€˜The Icebreakerâ€™Â byÂ YovankaÂ PaqueteÂ Perdigao,Â andÂ â€˜Empathyâ€™Â by A.E. Stallings. Those excerpts areÂ interpretedÂ through Feminist Refugee Epistemology (FRE),Â which according to Espiritu (2018),Â â€œreveals the hidden political forces within the site of intimate domestic interaction in each refugeeâ€™s unique experiences and queer sociality.â€Â The study concluded that poemsÂ of and by refugees couldÂ facilitate the forced-migrantsâ€™Â aspiration and create alternativeÂ knowledgeÂ as opposedÂ to their common objectification in mass-media reports.Â

Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

The climate crisis is now become the world problem and a big environmental issue and has drawn attention of governments and media, the impact of the crisis can be reflected on how media describe the crisis using metaphors. The way media use the language metaphorically to describe the climate crisis is the focus of this study. Using conceptual metaphor analysis, researchers aim to identify the source domains of climate crisis metaphor which deliver the sense of urgency message related to climate crisis. The source of data is from ten news article from Guardian website which discuss the climate crisis. The result shows that various source domains are used to describe the climate crisis in metaphor: Climate Crisis is described as a War, as an Object in Motion, Directionality, a Vehicle, a Destination, a Political Ideology, a Wrestler, a Chemical Substance, and as a Natural Disaster. Although climate crisis is one of them described metaphorically as a destination where sooner or later without a drastic action, eventually the world will arrive there, but it implied an unwanted destination that should be avoided or else, turning back or stop towards the destination, and with the highest finding where climate crisis described as a war to fight and to combat, it shows that the climate crisis is a real threat to our world which everyone should take action to fight. This study shows that although the unintended entailments occurred, the source domain of war and destination deliver the sense of urgency of the climate crisis.Â

Shades of Green Reporting: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Eco-News Reports in the Philippines Garlitos, Philip Andrew L.
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 1 (2020): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This paper uncovers the ideological representations found in the linguistic patterns of eco-news reports of national and local dailies in the Philippines. By bringing the 25 mainstream news reports on environmental concerns to analysis using Faircloughâ€™s (1992) Critical Discourse Analysis Framework and Hallidayâ€™s (1985) Systemic Functional Linguistics, findings reveal that the news reports serve to promote different core ideasÂ aboutÂ destruction, allocation of blame, victimization, bias, risk and hazard, governmentâ€™s role, and objectification. Themes drawn out are found to represent nature asÂ theÂ enemy and the culprit of destruction, the government as the eco-warriors, the ordinary citizens as weak andÂ defencelessÂ versus the authorities as empowered and influential, and plants and animals as human commodities. By way of turning verbs into nouns, active to passive structure, and subject to its metonymic representation, human involvement is concealed as social actors are removed in the text construction. Despite maintaining the objective nature of news reporting, the discourse is produced based onÂ theÂ ideological standpoints of the writers, which may feed readersâ€™ understanding ofÂ the realities of nature and ecology as a whole.Â Â

Inventing Narratives, Inventorying Natural Resources: Colonial Economic Exploitation in Conradâ€™s Malay Fiction Adipurwawidjana, Ari J.
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 1 (2020): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Literary narratives had accompanied global economic exploitation of natural resources since the rise of Britain as an imperial force in the late sixteenth century marked by Thomas Hariotâ€™s A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia (1588), in which Hariot narrates, describes, and inventories natural and human resources in Virginia to invite economic interest and to justify colonization. The tradition of writing a descriptive overview of conquered lands was then furthered in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Marsdenâ€™s History of Sumatra (1783) and Rafflesâ€™s History of Java (1817) as British colonial rule extended to the Malay Archipelago. However, towards the end of the nineteenth century, as economic and political rule inevitably gave way to complex socio-cultural interaction, the fiction of Joseph Conrad set in the Archipelago, being novelistic in nature, provides a more dialogic portrayal of British colonial presence, particularly in Java and Borneo, which goes beyond mere justification for the exploitation of local resources. Following the cue from the work Edward Said in identifying textualization as a mode of colonial intellectual domination and Benita Parry in revealing the â€œghostlyâ€ presence of empire in colonial fiction, I would like to argue that Conradâ€™s Malay fiction both justifies and problematizes the relationship between British colonial enterprise and the natural as well as socio-cultural environment in the Archipelago.

Thought Presentation in Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones Shahid Ahmad; Shanthi Nadarajan

Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

The last three decades have witnessed an increasing interest in the studies of thought presentation in stream-of-consciousness narratives among linguists (Semino Short, 2004; Leech Short, 2007; Bray, 2014; Fludernik, 1993). Largely because fictional writers use thought presentation in various ways to get readers to understand direct and indirect thoughts of the characters. Feminist writers have employed thought presentations in stream-of-consciousness narratives to give voice to the sufferings and yearnings of women and children. It has been done through careful selection of language that includes lexical choices, grammatical categories, and meaning representation. Besides providing multiple perspectives to the character’s experiences through definition, reasoning, and arguments, the use of differentiated meanings and metaphorical language in thought presentations has served as insights into the minds of killers and criminals. This paper uses stylistic analysis to explore the conscious and sub-conscious thought presentations of Susie Salmon, the protagonist, and Mr. Harvey, the antagonist in Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones (2002). For the study, the researchers use Geoffrey Leech and Michael Short’s (2007) model of thought presentation.The analysis will delve into the thought patterns of ‘dead’ Susie when she meets her assailant. It investigates lexical selection, semantics, and linguistic patterns. The findings show that thought patterns residing even in the sub-conscious or unconscious of human beings can be reached by analyzing thought representations embedded in a narrative discourse through a variety of thought presentation techniques. The central assumption being that while it takes courage to write about death and rape, it takes imagination to a new realm when a ‘dead’ girl returns to talk about her rape and death.

Inventing Narratives, Inventorying Natural Resources: Colonial Economic Exploitation in Conrads Malay Fiction Ari J. Adipurwawidjana

The tradition of writing a descriptive overview of conquered lands was then furthered in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Marsdens History of Sumatra (1783) and Raffless History of Java (1817) as British colonial rule extended to the Malay Archipelago. However, towards the end of the nineteenth century, as economic and political rule inevitably gave way to complex socio-cultural interaction, the fiction of Joseph Conrad set in the Archipelago, being novelistic in nature, provides a more dialogic portrayal of British colonial presence, particularly in Java and Borneo, which goes beyond mere justification for the exploitation of local resources.

Text and Terror: How Boko-Haram Terrifies Nigerians Using Ordinary Words OMOLADE BAMIGBOYE
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 20, No 1 (2020): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This paper investigates how Boko-Haram uses language to create terror in the minds of Nigerians. Boko-Haram, an Islamic terrorist organisation based in Nigeria and some other West African countries, periodically releases videos in which threats are made to the public. These videos are then transcribed into text by major news media all over the world. The thesis of the paper is if seemingly innocuous expressions are interpreted with fear as a result of who utters them. After a thorough study of possible theoretical approaches, the cognitive stylistics approach was deemed most suited for the present work. This is because the approach sees readers as actively involved in the process of meaning-making, Jeffries and McIntyre (2010: 127). Using the Schema Theory as conceptual framework, I argue that the readers of these statements interpret same with the residual knowledge they have of the world. Schema Theory submits that certain elements of background knowledge are superimposed on the text by the reader in creating a world (scenario) while reading the text. The findings reveal that the source of a text goes a long way in determining how it is digested by readers. Also, readers make sense of texts based not just on what is read, but the surrounding information they mentally impose on it.
