Abstract

This article scrutinizes Adichie’s Americanah to problematize the homogeneous concept of blackness and its related intersectional identities such as race, ethnicity, tribe, nationality, class, gender, language, and its relevant aspects. By employing the perspectives of women of color feminisms, particularly, on the world stage that pays a close attention to the global, postcolonial, and transnational feminisms, this article is able to locate at least two key points in Americanah to challenge the domination of the homogeneity and stereotype of blackness. Among the identified key points are the reflexivitive narrative style and the presence of the blog posts in the novel. The reflexivity enables the fluidity of inward and outward perceptions and assessments to examine and reexamine intersectional issues and experiences. Meanwhile, the blog posts in the form of writing about writing also provide fluid and open spaces for the polyvocality of diverse opinions and arguments regarding the intersectional realities. Accordingly, in such manner, the novel attempts to articulate the heterogeneity, specificity, and multiplicity of the so-called blackness and intersectional identities to challenge the myopic view of blackness and the complexity of entangled identities.

Abstract

Minari, a film screened in 2020 directed by Lee Isaac Chung, presents a Korean immigrant family having moved to Arkansas in fulfilling their American dream at the cost of being displaced and out of place. By focusing on the attempt made by Jacob, the father, to recreate the imagined home which refers to South Korea, this study aims to show how the displacement and unhomeliness in the construction of diasporic imagination are displayed in the film. David, the son, not only feels out of place but is also obligated to feel a kind of belonging to both cultures. Jacob’s mother-in-law, Soon-Ja, having newly arrived in the US brings recent memories of home into the family that represent the Korean immigrant perspective of living in the US for the first time. This approach will show how the American film attempts to incorporate the new forms of portraying the ‘elsewhere’ which is an important characteristic of American dream narratives. The analysis is conducted by referring to Bhabha’s unhomeliness and Walder’s displacement in comprehending the contrast between the stereotypical characteristics of Korean immigrants and the American dream through the dialogues and scenes. We would like to argue that Minari follows the convention of the American dream narratives. However, due to displacement and unhomeliness, the film shows how Korean immigrants experience being awkwardly immersed within the mainstream American cultural discourse.

Abstract

This research primarily examines the first-person personal pronouns in political discourse, political speech in particular. This research aims to reveal how the pronoun I and we are exploited by the politician for the specific intention in political discourse. This research contextually investigates those personal pronouns and their inflectional forms based on the critical discourse analysis perspective, revealing the function and the purpose of producing a particular and an intentional personal pronoun to refer to specific addressee(s). That linguistic strategy in political context indicate the social and political relation between the speaker and the referents. The data in this research were taken from the script of Biden’s inaugural speech given in 2021. From 224 first-person personal pronouns, Biden produced the pronoun I and its inflectional forms 63 times or 28,1% and the pronoun we and its inflectional forms 161 times or 71,9 in percentage. Even though the plural form was identified as the most first-person personal pronoun produced by Biden, the occurrence of the pronoun we and its inflectional forms excluded Kamala Harris as his vice president. Biden exploited the first-person singular personal pronoun to express his gratitude, quality, positive image and persuasively to ingratiate the citizens. On the other hand, Biden expressed the pronoun we and its inflectional forms to establish a sense of national unity, togetherness to confront the challenges, and sharing responsibility. Personal pronouns no longer deal with language structure analysis only, but they are also employed to persuasively affect socio-political position, especially in a political context.

Abstract

This analysis examines Ernest Hemingway's classic novel, The Old Man and the Sea, through the lens of the self-confident profile portrayed by the protagonist, Santiago. The study delves into the themes of perseverance, man versus nature, isolation, and pride to unravel Santiago's unwavering self-assurance in the face of adversity. Through an exploration of the novel's characters, including Santiago and his young apprentice Manolin, as well as the symbolic representation of the marlin and the sea, the analysis reveals the nuances of Santiago's self-confidence and its impact on his actions and relationships. Additionally, the study investigates Hemingway's literary techniques, such as symbolism, imagery, minimalism, and stream of consciousness, to highlight how they contribute to the portrayal of Santiago's self-assured nature. Drawing on critical essays, scholarly articles, and comparative studies, the research contextualizes the self-confident profile within the broader scope of Hemingway's works and provides a comprehensive understanding of the character's development throughout the narrative. By shedding light on Santiago's resilience, dignity, and the internal strength he draws from his experiences, Reader-Response Criticism analysis offers valuable insights into the profound exploration of self-confidence and its significance in The Old Man and the Sea.

Abstract

Reading Robert Frost’s “Home Burial” from a sociological perspective is a herculean task. Given that this poem by the American poet has received large volumes of critical literary conversation since its publication. Notwithstanding this daunting scholarly task, it is imperative to point out the nuanced representation of gender and the constitutive manifestations reflected thereof. This paper, therefore, examines Frost’s characters and their expression of masculinity and femininity in “Home Burial”. The paper is framed within the social constructivist theory of masculinities proposed by Moynihan (1998). The paper asserts that Frost favors the man/male gender over the woman/female gender in his assessment of how both gender types receive and process emotions, grief, pain, and fear. From the purview of the social constructivists, the paper reveals that there are fixed signifiers for males and females that shape their outlook during social events/contexts such as death. The paper further reveals that the theme of reality (realism) is crucial in 20th-century poetry, explicating its social context and application. The paper is a contribution to the research on Frostian poetry.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the concept of ambyar in Javanese pop dangdut songs. This research is descriptive qualitative and quantitative research applying Roland Barthes’s semiotic approach and Lecay's representation theory. The data was collected through observation, transcription, and closed interviews. The data taken from Guyon Waton’s song lyrics are categorized into primary data consisting of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences and secondary data in audio consisting of high and low notes and repetition of lyrics. Furthermore, closed interviews were conducted to collect information related to the representation of ambyar, which develops in society. The results show that ambyar in Guyon Waton’s song lyrics is represented through disappointment, heartbreak, abandonment, and unrequited love. On the other hand, the contradicting lyrics describe ambyar as an attitude of resignation, fast move on, and toughness. It indicates a cultural change that develops in society. Therefore, the meaning of ambyar expands as evident by the results of interviews that illustrate the positive meaning of ambyar in events, food, and activities. In contrast, it remains negative in the context of politics, education, and love.

Abstract

The virtual linguistic landscape was a study that investigated texts that existed in the public space and were done virtually. Haneda Airport had a policy of creating linguistic landscape signs for visitors during the post-COVID-19 situation. This study aimed to examine the use of language, actors, and categories of linguistic landscape signs. There were 888 landscape linguistic signs as the objects in this study. The data was taken with screenshots of sign images from a Haneda Airport-related video uploaded on YouTube. The collection methods were done by using the techniques of observation and documentation. This study used a qualitative descriptive method by applying the linguistic landscape theory of Landry and Bourhis. The result showed that multilingualism with the composition of Japanese-English-Chinese Korean was widely used in the linguistic landscape of Haneda Airport’s public space. Meanwhile, the category of public signs dominates the linguistic landscape signs, keeping with Haneda Airport’s status as a public space. Airport public authorities (top-down) often made public signs and place names using multilingual and bilingual. In contrast, private actors (bottom-up) mostly make commercial shop signs and advertising billboards using monolinguals.

Abstract

Whereas amaXhosa literature continues to receive scholarly consideration, there is a deficit regarding scrutinizing amaXhosa folktales, particularly through the ecocriticism theory. As a result of this, there is an asymmetrical understanding of how ecosystems can be integrated into amaXhosa literature to advance the meaning of folktales in addition to the reality that folktales contain didactic and pedagogical components. It stands to reason, therefore, to channel heightened deliberation on amaXhosa folktales as part of oral literature. Given this fact, this article aims to examine how one selected amaXhosa folktale fuses ecological features into its pursuits to promote educational understanding among children and adults. Over and above this, the aim is to demonstrate how important it is to heed the instructional values of those with wisdom as it is pertinent in this particular folktale. The objective is to underline that amaXhosa folktales, as part of oral literature, continue to be applicable and as a result, they ought to be uncovered in the arena of scholarly discourse. The selected folktale, UNtando noNontando (Ntando and Nontando) is appreciated herein as a primary source of data, while ecocriticism is applied as a theory of interpretation and analysis. The findings and discussions indicate that this particular folktale advances the idea that humans, nature and animals are symbiotic and interactive in the environmental setting. Nevertheless, humans ought to respect the territories of animals and nature in a bid to create a proportioned society. The concluding remarks of this article present possible avenues for future scholarly discourses.

Abstract

Politeness is a concept in the area of pragmatics and conversational analysis in which the speaker considers several factors to be polite, including their relationship with the hearer, their age, the power they have over the hearer, the importance of their utterances, etc. Speeches from prominent figures provide rich sources of analysis on politeness, a vital concept in everyday communication. This study examines different realizations of politeness strategies. The researcher used Brown and Levinson's model (1987), categorizing the strategies into four main realizations (Bald on-record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record). The data source has been a 15-minute video clip from Jordan B. Peterson – a prominent Canadian psychologist and author – about being articulate, for which a qualitative method was used. During the data analysis, first, the author watched the video clip to get the gist, then wrote its transcription to look for the types of strategies used by the speaker. The transcription was then re-evaluated by two teachers in the field of English as a foreign language (EFL)to assure its inter-rater reliability. The results showed that the speaker employed the four types of politeness strategies during the speech, among which negative and positive politeness, together with their realizations – 'do not presume/assume' and 'raise/assert common ground were the most dominant. Further research on known figures, in different contexts and with larger data is imperative to ameliorate the pragmatics knowledge of both teachers and students and enhance their interactions.

Abstract

Travel writings’ long literary tradition in the West had often been viewed as a colonial discourse and had prepared a colony of readership, particularly the narratives during the 19th century (Spurr,1993). However, travel writing is relatively new in the Philippines, and a lot of Filipino women are experimenting with writing in the genre. As such, this study examined the types of contemporary travel writings written by Filipino women using Fussell’s categorization (1982) for travel writings according to the writer's intent of travel: explorer, tourist, and travel. Some of the selected texts fit the said categories, while others combined the mentioned classifications. In this study, the explorer category was also expanded to cover traveler's subjective experiences to accommodate some texts that exemplify this type of narrative. Moreover, the study utilized grounded theorizing (Glaser Strauss, 1967; Strauss Corbin, 1990) to classify other travel texts that did not fall into Fussell’s typologies, which resulted in four new categories, namely 1) backpacker; 2) escape/convalescent; 3) pilgrim; and 4) labor worker. The intent of travel adheres to global categorizations but, at the same time, reflects the fast-changing contemporary narratives accommodated into the travel writing genre which attest to how they write down their impressions and introspections on their travel experiences.
