Abstract

This study explores Osamu Dazai's defense mechanisms as depicted in the film adaptation of No Longer Human (2019) from a psychoanalytic perspective, drawing on Sigmund Freud's theoretical framework. The narrative follows the protagonist's tumultuous journey, highlighting his struggles with identity, alienation, and social conformity. Using Freud's psychoanalytic concepts, including defense mechanisms such as denial, projection, displacement, sublimation, reaction formation, undoing, and isolation, this study examines the protagonist's psychological responses to trauma and guilt. Employing Miles and Huberman’s method of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, the research conducts a close analysis of character behavior, dialogue, and symbolism. The film's depiction of these defense mechanisms offers profound insights into the human psyche and its coping strategies in the face of internal and external conflict. By integrating Freudian theory with cinematic interpretation, this study aims to elucidate the intricacies of Dazai's defense mechanisms and provide a deeper understanding of the complexity of human psychology as portrayed in the film.

Abstract

Halal Fiction is a sub-genre that seeks to represent Muslims in a way that reduces Islamophobia. Islamophobia often perpetuates grand narratives that marginalize women's identities, particularly in regions where the population is predominantly Muslim, such as the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. A descriptive-qualitative approach is one methodological strategy within decolonialism, aimed at redefining heteropatriarchal Islamic principles. This approach can be informed by feminist decolonial theory, as proposed by Françoise Verges. The novel Ayesha at Last addresses inequality in marriage and Islamic paradigms through its characters Ayesha and Farzana. This portrayal challenges the perception of Islam as immoral, particularly among Muslim women. Farzana believes that Ayesha has become a moderate Muslim woman, eroding traditional Muslim values, which she deems unsuitable for her son Khalid to marry into. The research aims to challenge stereotypes of Muslim values, advocating for equality between men and women regardless of geopolitical and educational status. The findings reveal that through the character of Ayesha, who transitions from traditional to moderate Islam, the novel demonstrates that Islam is a religion that upholds equal values between men and women, without any inherent differences or harm to one another.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to look at the needs analysis of the digital-based assessment model Automated Short Essay Scoring (ASES) in English language learning in Vocational High Schools. This research is a research and development (RD) research carried out in the Computer Network Technology Department at SMK Negeri 1 Percut Sei Tuan. This research is included in mixed methods research with the assessment development model used, namely the Borg and Gall model which consists of ten stages,: needs analysis, development plan, initial product development, initial test or one-on-one test, initial product revision, field test, product revision, field implementation test (operational test), revising the final product, and implementation in the field. This research focuses on the first step of all the steps in developing the Borg and Gall model above, namely needs analysis activities. The results of this research show that the implementation of digital assessment models needs to be carried out in English language learning. The use of ASES digital-based assessment media is an urgent need for assessment to be implemented to take into account the knowledge, skills, dispositions and attitudes needed to equip students to keep up with the increasingly changing digital world. Furthermore, identification of the development of the ASES digital-based assessment model in English language learning at Vocational High Schools was carried out by conducting FGDs with teachers and students of SMK Negeri 1 Percut Sei Tuan resulting in an agreement that in learning English students need to be equipped with digital skills.

Abstract

Critical discourse analysis is the process of explaining a text (social reality) to individuals or groups who tend to pursue their goals in order to create a framework that must be achieved. Teun A. Van Dijk's theory states that the main emphasis of critical discourse analysis is on inequality and power dynamics in social phenomena. The formulation of the problem in this research is how Teun A. Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis is viewed from the dimensions of the text on Kompas.com news. The aim of this research is to describe the text dimensions of Teun A. Van Dijk's model in the context of online news on kompas.com. The data collection technique used is content analysis technique, while data analysis uses the Teun A Van Dijk model of critical discourse analysis approach. The data source in this research is the kompas.com website regarding three news texts about corruption cases. The news discussed reveals real examples of inequality, domination and power. The research results show that news has three text dimensions, namely macrostructure, superstructure and microstructure. Macrostructure is used to convey opinions, facts and explanations regarding corruption events that occur. The superstructure of the three news items that meet the requirements consists of introduction, body and conclusion. Microstructure contains several elements, including background, details, intent, presuppositions, sentence form, pronouns (pronominals he, his, her, and we), lexicon, graphics, and metaphors (figures of speech).

Abstract

This article aims to explore the structure and meaning of unique Indonesian names, their origins, and the humor they encompass. The topic was selected due to its recent viral status on social media. Utilizing qualitative methods and library research, data were gathered from internet news articles and analyzed through theories of names and nicknames, humor, and Arabic and Islamic religion. These theoretical frameworks were particularly pertinent as the study revealed that many unique names are intricately linked to Islamic and Arabic elements. The findings suggest that the uniqueness of these names often arises from spontaneous selection, with minimal deliberation or understanding of the religious terms incorporated. Predominantly found among the lower-middle class, these names stand out due to their distinctiveness, which often elicits humor. The humorous aspects of these names can be categorized under incongruity theory and, in some cases, superiority theory. This research highlights the cultural and social dimensions of naming practices in Indonesia and their unintended comedic impact.

Abstract

Teachers’ conceptions and approaches to teaching have stronger influence on students’ learning orientations and learning outcomes. This research aimed at examining English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ conceptions of teaching writing by adopting qualitative research design with interpretative ontological and epistemological assertions. To this end, 16 EFL teachers working at Wollo University, Dessie Campus were involved in semi-structured interviews arranged to explore the different ways that EFL teachers understand teaching writing. The interviews transcribed verbatim and analyzed using phenomenographic data analysis scheme. As the results of the study revealed, six qualitatively different conceptions of teaching writing were identified: (1) awareness-raising, (2) equipping, (3) mimicking, (4) co-writing, (5) practicing, and (6) inspiring conceptions of teaching writing. Three dimensions of variation such as conceptions of writing, locus of teaching writing and beliefs in acquisition of writing skills were discovered to show hierarchical relationships among the categories from simplistic (surface) conceptions of teaching to sophisticated (deep) conceptions of teaching writing. Accordingly, inclusiveness and complexity of teaching conceptions increased as we moved from Category 1 to Category 6. Equipping and practicing conceptions were found to be the most frequently reported conceptions of teaching writing, but institutional and contextual factors adversely impacted the feasibility of practicing conceptions of teaching in EFL writing classes. The findings generally revealed EFL teachers’ tendency to surface conceptions of teaching writing. The study have implications to depict teachers’ orientation to create educational environments that foster deep conceptions and approaches to teaching and learning writing skills at Ethiopian universities.

Abstract

This study applies Searle's speech act theory, as outlined in Levinson (1983), to analyze directive speech acts in the high-profile murder case of Judge Jamaluddin. The research specifically examines how commands and orders issued by the main perpetrator, Zuraida Hanum, influenced her accomplices, M. Jefri Pratama and M. Reza Pahlevi, to commit premeditated murder. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were sourced from the Medan District Court decision, which includes the defendants’ recorded utterances. The study categorizes directive speech acts based on the speaker's knowledge, intentions, and power dynamics, focusing on how Zuraida's directives were central to executing the crime. Findings reveal that command speech acts were not only pivotal in compelling the accomplices to act but also demonstrated the manipulation and influence wielded by the speaker. This research highlights the importance of speech act analysis in uncovering the linguistic mechanisms behind criminal behavior and underscores its potential applications in forensic linguistics and legal investigations.

Abstract

This research analyzes the types of metaphors in Paul Laurence Dunbar’s ‘The Seedling’ using Lakoff and Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things. A metaphorical poem has the ability to create and translate the figurative language contained in the content of the poem, especially where there are deep personal and emotional experiences”." The research uses descriptive qualitative methods to obtain a clear and systematic description of the metaphors found in this poem. The findings show that there are three kinds of metaphors identified in the poem "The Seedling." Those are ontological, image scheme, and orientational. The metaphors used in Paul Laurence Dunbar's 'The Seedling' speak to the stages of human improvement, utilizing characteristic pictures such as seeds, roots, daylight, and rain. Each allegory is utilized to portray desires, dreams, trusts, and the plausibility of developing into a grown up in spite of having to overcome numerous challenges. Understanding the meaning and function of metaphors will broaden our conception of language as a learning medium with strong implications for language and literacy teaching.

Abstract

Celebrities in the entertainment industry frequently engage in impression management, a practice driven by the commodification of their personas. This study explores Doja Cat’s music video Attention, examining how she balances impression management with expressions of personal agency as a celebrity. Employing Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis and Erving Goffman’s impression management theory, the study analyzes the visual signs embedded in the music video. The findings reveal that Doja Cat strategically performs impression management to align with stakeholder expectations, ensuring her continued marketability and perceived value within the entertainment industry. However, she also challenges these expectations by introducing symbols of agency, asserting her individuality and creative autonomy. This dual approach reflects the complexities of navigating societal pressures and personal expression in celebrity culture. Future studies could extend this analysis by examining Attention through a gender studies lens, focusing on themes such as female objectification and exploitation within the broader context of celebrity culture and the entertainment industry.
