Abstract

Sugiharti Halim (2008) provides a cinematic insight into the lives of Chinese Indonesians whose identities are perpetually labeled as liyan (other) in the eyes of the inlanders (pribumi). It narrates the story of Sugiharti Halim, a Chinese Indonesian girl, who struggles with her Indonesian sounding name which, instead of successfully assimilating her Chinese identity, makes her even more Chinese than before. This study aims to investigate the cinematic portrayal of Chinese Indonesian’s ambiguous identity as experienced by the female protagonist. The writer employs close textual analysis of the indie film and approaches the issue by the reading of cinematic codes (mise en scene) and the theoretical perspective of name giving developed by Watzlawik in 2016. The conflict highlited in this “indie” criticizes the position of Chinese filmmaker for being pigeoholed on the ground of their ethnicity as portrayed in most commercial films which put Chinese more as a marginalized group. Therefore, the study reveals that films have become a new means of politicizing the interest of certain ethnic group which somehow puts the Chinese Indonesians in their most vulnerable position. The study also concludes that independent films help the young Chinese filmmakers to reconnect with their Chinese heritage as they begin to pick up bits of their Chineseness which were previously miscontrued by the inherited ideals of the New Order regime.

Abstract

Despite the growing interest in investigating learners’ corpora, surprisingly little research has been conducted on the language use of L2 writers and its relation to the gender and genres in writing. Therefore, this study was aimed to find out the variation of language use in different genres or gender in weblogs, one of popular modes of computer-mediated communication (CMC). The study was done by conducting multivariate analysis using R program to weblog entries from a sample balanced of author gender (female or male) and weblog genre (diary or filter). Taking linguistic preferential features by Argamon et al (2003) and Pennebaker (2011) as dependent variables, the effect of genres or gender toward the use of the features was analyzed. The results showed that significant effects of several features can be considered as predictors. Personal pronouns and hedges (I think, and I believe) were found as predictors for diary; while the indefinite articles a/an and numbers were found as predictors for filter. As for the different language use by gender, female predictors were personal pronoun, verbs, negation, certainty words, and hedges. Meanwhile, the indefinite articles a/an, numbers, and preposition were the predictors of male writers.

Abstract

Ken Dedes is a figure who is remembered by the East Java community through myth and folklore. The myth of Ken Dedes is related to her figure as the primary woman who keeps the secret of radiant beauty, intelligence, and the mother who gave birth to the kings of Java. This study aims to find the reflection of people's memories about Ken Dedes and to find the cult of the mother from her figure. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with anthropological and psychological approaches. The results of the study show that Ken Dedes is remembered and reflected in the views of the people of East Java. From this reflection, the memory of Ken Dedes' serves as a projection or wishful thinking, an education tool, and a way of justification. In addition, in the context of the patriarchal society of East Java, Ken Dedes is a form of mother cult. In conclusion, the memory and reflection of Ken Dedes in East Javanese society have different variants based on the category of young and adult or old age. Meanwhile, the cult of the mother of a patriarchal society is legitimacy of throne.

Abstract

Describing a race through the verbal and visual description of physical appearance is often used to create binary opposition between ‘Us’ and ‘Other’, so it does in The Adventures of Tintin comic books by Hergé. In The Adventures of Tintin TV series adaptation (1991-2) by Stéphane Bernasconi, ‘Other’s verbal and visual physical depictions that are portrayed in the comic books undergo transformations that occur on non-White characters. These transformations－changes, additions, and omissions－ can be clearly seen in the Tintin TV series entitled The Blue Lotus, Cigars of the Pharaoh, and The Broken Ear that are adapted from the comic books of the same titles. The theory of adaptation by Linda Hutcheon and Orientalism by Edward Said are used to reveal and explain the adapter’s strategies to make the skin colours, costume, and deformity moderation and negotiation in order that the TV series can be accepted by the audience around the world today.

Abstract

The objective of the study is to identify Men’s role degradation in Sam Mendez’s movie American Beauty, how men’s role degradation was described, the causes and the effects of men’s role degradation in Sam Mendez’s movie. This study uses gender role theory and social psychology approach to answer the question. I use qualitative descriptive method to gain the validity and prove the writer’s assumption. The data that found in the film are in form of sentences, phrases, dialogues, action, and mimic of the character shown in the scene. In gathering the data, I took four steps; namely, identifying, inventorying, classifying, and selecting data. First, I watched the movie and read the scripts of film. Second, I inventoried the data, classified the data, and selected the data to answer the problems. The last, the data selected are interpreted based on its function to the topic. From this study I conclude that man’s role degradation that described in American Beauty movie is about a man who faced the degradation of men’s role and men’s authority as a father and husband in the family. The causes are loss spirit of life, loss his confidence, changing gender roles, and economic changes. Beside that, the effects are not harmony relationship among the family and an affair in their marriage life.

Abstract

This study is about hidden fear which is felt by the hedonist main character represented in the novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. The objectives are to find out how hidden fear described in the novel, the reasons why the main character hid his fear, and how the hidden fear regarded as hedonist’s fear. This research is descriptive qualitative. The data were taken in the form of phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and dialogues from the novel. They were gathered by reading, identifying, classifying, selecting, analyzing, and reporting. Sigmund Freud’s theory of Id, Ego and Superego was used in this study. The results of this study are 1) life is a choice, when you choose the right choice you will get the rewards, but if you choose the wrong choice, prepare yourself for getting punishment. 2) Although it surely has reasons, breaking the rules and committing crimes for hiding fear are unforgiveable. 3) Surroundings and social intercourse could influence people’s character. As for the further researchers, that this study can be used as one of the references and hopefully, the causes and effects of being hedonist is going to be the next title for the future research.

Rhetorical features that are found in Saroyan’s story entitled Going Home are asyndeton, hyperbole, commoratio, anaphora, parison, polysyndeton, climax, simile, personification, and antithesis. In conducting the research, I read the short story and then identified the rhetorical features which are found in every word, phrase, and sentence in the text. I listed them in a table and then classified the collected data into their classification. In analyzing the data, I explain the definition of rhetorical features. Next I interpreted the data using my own words. The result of this study shows that there are 17 expressions that contain rhetorical features. By using rhetorical style, Saroyan wants to convey and emphasize about his concept of longing and also to give ornament in his short story.

Abstract

This  journal  is entitled  Concept of Leadership  in  Pramoedya Anantoer’s  The King, The Witch, and The Priest. In this study, I  emphasized discussion on the leadership concept and its effects to the people in this narration. This study discusses three problems; they are (1) how is the leaders depicted in this novel? (2) What is the leadership concept depicted in this novel? (3) What are the effects of the leadership concept applied to the people’s betterment in this novel? I used Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s novel entitled  The King, The Witch, and The Priest  as the primary data and some references from books and websites dealing with leadership concept as the secondary data. The data were gained by reading closely the novel, then identifying data from the novel, inventorying the data, classifying the data, selecting the data, building up the main topic of the narration that in leadership, and reporting the data. The analysis of this study used new criticism approach in order to find,  identify and analyze the data from the novel. In addition, sociology approach was also used to support the analyses and answer the statements of the problem. From the data analysis I concluded that (1) the main characters had sense of leadership which was  built up by the environment (2) there are six points of leadership concept which is depicted in this novel; they are the characterization of a leader, ideal relationship between formal and informal leaders, focus on leadership, problem solving, delegation, and transformational leadership (3) there are some improvements for the people because of the application of leadership concept by the leaders in the novel. In general, this study is expected to be useful for the readers who would analyze a literary  work. I expected that this analysis could give new horizon to the readers about how to analyze a literary work according to the people’s attitudes and condition which are sometimes raised by an author.
