Abstract

In the digital era, social media significantly shapes adolescent identity by creating hyperreal representations that blur the boundaries between reality and simulation. This study aims to analyze how social media simulacra are depicted in Al Rawabi School for Girls Season 2 and their impact on adolescents. Using a qualitative approach, six episodes were analyzed through Jean Baudrillard’s four stages of images: reflection of image, denatures of image, absence of image, and no relation of image. The results show that denatures of image stage is most dominant, revealing how digital image manipulation affects teenagers perception, behaviors, and social interactions. The hyperreality of social media contributes to bullying, suicide, identity distortion, and consumptive banality among teenagers. This study contributes to research on modern Arab media and culture by applying postmodern theories of simulacra and hyperreality to contemporary youth media, providing insight into how digital images and social validation shape teenagers' identity.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of errors and the factors causing derivative word formation errors in fourth-semester students of the English Literature Study Program at Bina Darma University. The scope of the study is limited to analyzing errors in the use of affixes (prefixes and suffixes) that change the word class or meaning of the base word, based on students' academic texts. The research method used a qualitative descriptive design with purposive sampling of 10 students. Data were obtained through a 300 word essay writing test, then analyzed using Surface Strategy Taxonomy (Dulay, Burt, & Krashen, 1982) which classifies errors into four types: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The results showed that misformation was the most dominant error (48%), followed by addition (24%), omission (20%), and misordering (8%). Causal factors include first language interference, overgeneralization of morphological rules, limited morphological knowledge, and minimal exposure to academic vocabulary. The main conclusion of this study is the need for explicit and structured teaching of derivational morphology in writing courses, accompanied by contextual exercises to improve the accuracy of students' use of derived word forms.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the narrative structure of Taufiq al-Hakim’s short story “Iblis Yantashiru” by identifying both its surface and deep structures through the lens of Algirdas Julien Greimas’s narrative semiotics. The analysis of the story’s narrative structure is crucial, as it significantly influences the comprehension of the overall meaning of the text. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing written data derived directly from the literary work. Data collection techniques include close reading, note-taking, and library research. The data were analyzed through several stages: identification, interpretation, analysis, and conclusion drawing. The structural analysis was conducted based on Greimas’s narrative semiotic framework, which encompasses the actantial structure, functional structure, main actant, surface structure and deep structure. The findings reveal that the short story’s structure is divided into four segments: the first segment presents the theme of “Nasik’s victory,” the second highlights “Nasik’s sincerity,” the third explores “the pact between Iblis and Nasik,” and the fourth emphasizes “self-interest.” Furthermore, the study identifies the main actant based on the actants found in these four segments: the principal sender is Nasik’s faith, while the main receiver as well as the subject is Nasik himself, who pursues the object of “upholding the truth.” In this pursuit, he is obstructed by the opposant, namely “Iblis,” and supported by the helpers, namely faith and an axe. Through the above structure, it can be concluded that the narrative of Taufiq al-Hakim’s short story “Iblis Yantashiru” contains unique narrative elements and a structural pattern consistent with A.J. Greimas’s narrative semiotics.

Abstract

This study examines how “scientific” language in skincare product names constructs authority, efficacy claims, and consumer subject positions. Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), it analyzes two skincare products namely Skintific and Wardah. The analysis follows three dimensions: (1) text analysis which includes phrase analysis on lexical borrowing from science, quantification and statistical authority and hybridization of science and beauty rhetoric; (2) discursive practice which analyze how names are produced (brand style and platform constraints), distributed (packaging, e-commerce), and consumed (consumer readings of numbers and technical terms); and (3) social practice to reveal the ideology behind the text. Findings indicate systematic patterns on the scientific language is less about empirical precision and more about constructing trust and authority. The study contributes an operational scheme for identifying “scientific language” in naming, clarifies meaning-making mechanisms, and discusses implications for consumer literacy and marketing communication regulation..

Abstract

This study analyzes how the Zainichi Korean community is represented in Kogonada’s Pachinko through Stuart Hall’s theory of representation. Using a qualitative content analysis of eight episodes from Pachinko Season 1, this research examines the portrayal of Zainichi identity, survival strategies, and power relations within Japanese society. The findings reveal three major representations: (1) Zainichi identity shaped by Japan’s colonial legacy and intergenerational trauma, (2) survival strategies developed through family solidarity, perseverance, and selective assimilation, and (3) Japan’s continuing dominance that perpetuates social marginalization of the Zainichi. This study contributes to media and cultural studies by providing a critical perspective on how Pachinko reconstructs historical memory and challenges dominant narratives of Korean minorities in Japan.

Abstract

This study explores how young people articulate existential meaning through their social media posts, employing a qualitative phenomenological approach to interpret their lived emotional and cultural experiences. Focusing on linguistic patterns and thematic expressions, the research analyzes how adolescents express concerns related to identity, purpose, emotional disconnection, and resilience within digital spaces. A corpus of youth-generated posts from platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and X was examined using thematic, linguistic, and phenomenological analysis. Findings reveal three major existential themes: purpose-seeking, loneliness and the paradox of digital visibility, and hope-driven self-reconstruction. Purpose-seeking expressions often employed progressive verb forms—such as “searching,” “trying,” and “figuring out” indicating an ongoing process of meaning-making rather than a fixed goal. Posts related to loneliness highlighted the tension between being seen and being understood, reflecting emotional vulnerability mediated by digital interaction. Meanwhile, affirmations of hope and resilience demonstrated future-oriented modal constructions that signaled efforts toward emotional recovery and agency. Culturally, the study shows that social media serves as a liminal space in which youth negotiate societal expectations, articulate vulnerabilities, and construct emerging identities. Overall, the findings suggest that existential expressions in youth digital communication are deeply shaped by linguistic choices and cultural environments, revealing social media as a critical site for understanding contemporary youth experiences.

Abstract

Food plays a central role in Arab-American women’s writing because it bridges personal memory, cultural identity, and gendered experience. While previous studies have examined food as nostalgia or cultural preservation, fewer have explored how culinary practices and kitchen spaces function as feminist sites of agency and identity negotiation within the diasporic context. This Paper focuses on Diana Abu-Jaber’s memoirs The Language of Baklava (2006) and Life Without a Recipe (2016) using the perspective of Food Studies, Arab-American Feminism and Diaspora Theory. The analysis aims to explore how food function as a narrative tool for Arab-American women to express identity, memory, and resistance within patriarchal and cross-cultural contexts. With Gaul’s (2024) concept of food cultural and emotional symbol as main theory, this paper argues that Abu-Jaber transform the kitchen from domestic space into a site of empowerment and negotiation. This study employs qualitative content analysis to examine recurring food narratives, memories, and kitchen spaces in both memoirs, using close reading supported by theoretical categorization. The Result found that food in Abu-Jaber’s memoir is not merely a cultural representation, but a feminist language that bridges Arab and American experiences. Through culinary memory, recipe, and everyday cooking, Abu-Jaber redefines female agency and articulates a hybrid Arab-American identity. The study conclude that Abu-Jaber’s memoirs reflect a distinct form Arab-American feminism where food and the kitchen serve as mediums of self-expression, cultural preservation and resistance.

Abstract

This paper examines how Diana Abu-Jaber's works, The Language of Baklava (2005) and Life Without a Recipe (2016), describe how Muslim women negotiate identity and freedom amid the pressures of tradition (culture) and diaspora. Both works show a shift in the meaning of women's identity from obedience to cultural and family values towards the search for autonomy and self-identity. Previous studies have focused more Abu-Jaber's work from the perspective of nostalgia and hybridity, but often ignore the transformative role of food as a feminist language for self-expression. Therefore, using food studies theory from Anny Gaul (2024), feminist theory from Amir Aziz (2025), the concept of bildungsroman from Franco Moretti (2000), and the theory of hybridity and third space from Homi Bhabha (1994), this study aims to explore how food functions as a symbol of both cultural preservation and personal freedom for Muslim women in Abu Jaber's memoirs. This study interprets the process of women's transformation from cultural preservation to active subjects who reconstruct the meaning of freedom through daily activities. The results of the study show that Abu Jaber not only writes about food, but also uses experiences related to food as a metaphor for the journey of Muslim women in the diaspora. Thus, this study confirms the effort to negotiate a space of autonomy between culture, religion, and modernity.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze suicidal behavior experienced by the main character, Otto, in the movie “A Man Called Otto” from a psychological perspective. The study focuses on identifying the psychological factors that drive Otto’s suicidal ideation and repeated suicide attempts. This research employs a qualitative method, with data collected through careful observation and analysis of scenes, dialogues, and character actions in the movie. The analysis is conducted using Sigmund Freud’s psychological theory, particularly the concepts of the death instinct, life instinct, and the structure of personality consisting of the id, ego, and superego. The findings show that Otto’s suicidal ideation and attempts are rooted in deep grief following the loss of his wife, unresolved trauma, intense guilt, emotional exhaustion, and social alienation. Emotional triggers such as the loss of his child, removal from a leadership role, and feelings of being misunderstood strengthen the dominance of the death instinct, allowing destructive impulses to emerge while weakening the ego and intensifying self-blame. However, the presence of Marisol and her family gradually restores Otto’s emotional warmth, responsibility, and empathy. This marks the return of the life instinct through meaningful social interaction and new emotional bonds. Overall, Otto’s psychological journey shifts from domination by the death instinct toward a renewed sense of meaning and acceptance of life. Keywords: Psychological Approach, suicide, Thanatos, Eros

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the unconscious motives of the main character, Janiyah, in the movie Straw (2025) using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory (1923). This research applied a descriptive qualitative approach by examining selected dialogues and scenes that reflected the character’s psychological experiences. The study focused on how traumatic events stored in the subconscious mind influenced hallucinations, forced violent behavior, and changes in mental state. The findings showed that Janiyah’s hallucinations were caused by severe trauma, including the loss of her child, pressure from authority figures, feelings of helplessness, and accumulated stress. The study also revealed that the act of killing committed by the character was not intentional but was forced by extreme life conditions such as job loss, loss of shelter, and threatening situations. Furthermore, the research found that these traumatic experiences significantly affected Janiyah’s mental state, leading to shock, emotional breakdown, paranoia, loss of self-control, and disorientation. These conditions indicated the use of defense mechanisms such as repression, projection, displacement, and dissociation. Overall, the study concluded that Straw (2025) portrayed how unresolved trauma and subconscious processes distorted perception and behavior. This research confirmed that Freud’s psychoanalytic theory was useful in explaining trauma-related hallucinations, defense mechanisms, and psychological breakdown in contemporary film.
