Abstract

Satirical utterances in audiovisual texts convey criticism through implicit meanings, rhetorical contrasts, and contextual cues, making them vulnerable to shifts in cross-cultural subtitling. This exploratory case study examines how Arabic satirical implicatures are preserved, reformulated, or weakened in the official Indonesian subtitles of From the Ashes: The Pit. The data comprised 23 satirical utterances identified through exhaustive criterion-based sampling of the entire film. The Arabic dialogue was manually transcribed, verified by an Arabic-language specialist, aligned with scene timestamps, and compared with the Indonesian subtitles. Analysis combined Gottlieb’s subtitling strategies, Simpson’s model of satirical discourse, Zabalbeascoa’s functional approach, Relevance Theory, and audiovisual constraints. Four strategies were identified: transfer (11), paraphrase (9), condensation (2), and resignation (1). The corpus included irony (10), cynicism (7), and sarcasm (6). The findings suggest that satirical implicatures were preserved when the subtitle retained the target of criticism, evaluative stance, and sufficient verbal or audiovisual cues. Paraphrase and condensation could also maintain satire when formal changes preserved these functional elements, whereas resignation produced the clearest contextual ambiguity. These findings are limited to this single-film exploratory corpus.

Abstract

The film Budi Pekerti depicts the vulnerability of women in the digital space due to patriarchal culture through the character of Bu Prani, who becomes a victim of cyberbullying. This study aims to describe the construction of women’s positions as subjects and objects in the film Budi Pekerti by Wregas Bhanuteja through the lens of Sara Mills’ Critical Discourse Analysis. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing data consisting of dialogue, speech acts, narrative, and scenes from the film Budi Pekerti. Data were collected through observation using the non-participant observation technique, which involves observing, noting, recording, and transcribing. Data analysis utilized the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which includes data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that women’s positions in the film Budi Pekerti are constructed through two primary roles: subject and object. Twenty-nine instances were identified that reflect the subject role, in which women are portrayed as conveyors of perspectives, decision-makers, and evaluators. Meanwhile, eight instances were identified that reflect the object role, in which women are positioned as targets of public judgment, representations in digital media, and social stereotypes. The dominance of the subject position indicates that female characters are constructed as active agents who fight for space to express their perspectives, construct meaning, and defend their views amidst various social pressures. However, female characters are also positioned as objects that become targets of judgment, labeling, and meaning-making by others. These findings indicate that the position of women in the film Budi Pekerti is dynamic. Furthermore, the digital space plays a role in influencing the shifting position of women as both subjects and objects in the construction of discourse.

Abstract

The role of educators in learning is not only defined by teaching skills but also by their ability to develop moral and spiritual awareness. In this context, the teacher’s role can be re-examined through local cultural values, particularly in wayang performances that contain moral, spiritual, and educational symbolism. This study aims to interpret the meaning of the “true teacher” in the wayang play Sang Dwija Agung by Ki Purbo Asmoro as a reflection of Javanese thought. The analysis focuses on Rama Bargawa using Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic approach, including historical context, pre-understanding, horizon fusion, and the hermeneutic circle. The findings show that Rama Bargawa represents a true teacher who embodies self-awareness, humility (andhap asor), honesty (blakasuta), and wisdom (wicaksana). This meaning emerges through the interpretation of dialogue within its Javanese cultural context and the fusion between text and interpreter horizons. The study confirms that the teacher’s role in Sang Dwija Agung extends beyond teaching to include guiding the ethical use of knowledge. This research offers a new perspective on Rama Bargawa as a true teacher through Gadamerian hermeneutics. In contrast to previous studies that emphasize his role as a conflict-driven figure, this study highlights his exemplary dimension, enriching the understanding of the teacher’s role in wayang studies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the manifestations of immanence and transcendence in the female characters of the novel Geni Jora written by Abidah El Khalieqy, using Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminist perspective. The method employed in this study is a qualitative approach using descriptive analysis. The data source used is the novel Geni Jora by Abidah El Khalieqy, while the data collected includes narratives, dialogues, and descriptions related to women’s existence. Data collection was conducted through reading and note-taking, followed by content analysis involving data processing, information presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research findings indicate that the immanent form of the female characters is depicted through women’s subordination, the disregard of intellectual capabilities, restrictions on freedom of movement, control over life choices, and women’s subordinate position within the patriarchal structure. On the other hand, the transcendent form is demonstrated by the courage to challenge the patriarchal structure, maintain one’s identity, resist injustice, reject the objectification of the body, and utilize education as a tool for self-liberation. The results also indicate that the female characters in Geni Jora not only experience various forms of oppression from the patriarchy but also strive to transcend these limitations to assert their existence as free and independent individuals. This study contributes to expanding the exploration of Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminism within the context of Indonesia literature, particulary through an analysis of the dynamich of immanence and transcendence in the female characters of Geni Jora.

Abstract

This study examines untranslatability and message reproduction in the translation of German poetry into Indonesian. The research aims to identify forms of untranslatability, analyze the reproduction of messages in terms of accuracy, acceptability, and readability, and reveal the factors causing untranslatability in poetic translation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method using purposive sampling. The data consisted of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences taken from the poetry collection Das durch Probleme lebendige Leben by Dani Hendra. The data were analyzed using Molina and Albir’s translation techniques, Catford’s theory of untranslatability, Venuti’s translation ideology, and Nababan’s translation quality assessment model. The findings indicate that modulation was the most frequently identified translation technique, followed by literal/calque, adaptation, discursive creation, and several other techniques. Linguistic untranslatability appeared more frequently than cultural untranslatability, particularly at the lexical and syntactic levels. The translator tended to prioritize acceptability and readability through domestication strategies, although several cases of foreignization were maintained to preserve cultural elements of the source text. The study concludes that message reproduction in poetry translation is conditional because aesthetic and communicative considerations often require compromises in propositional accuracy.

Abstract

This article examines the complexities surrounding the return of the Palestinian diaspora to their homeland under Israeli occupation have been prominently explored in literary works, one of which is Rabai Al-Madhoun’s novel Maṣā'ir: Kūnshirtū al-Hūlūkawst wan-Nakbah (2015). This study aims to examine the construction of the “third space” as depicted in the novel, grounded in Homi K. Bhabha’s concepts of the unhomely and the third space. It seeks to uncover the textual strategies employed in constructing a space for the negotiation of identity within the novel. The literary text analysis employs Mieke Bal’s narratological framework across three layers text, story, and fabula integrated with Gérard Genette’s concept of metalepsis at the narrative level. The findings reveal that the dynamics of the diaspora’s return are presented in a fragmented and non-linear manner. Frequent shifts in narrators and focalizers blur the boundaries between narrative levels. Consequently, the “glorious” return idealized by the diaspora fails to serve as a means of restoring original identity. Instead, it triggers profound uncertainty, manifesting as a deep sense of estrangement or the unhomely. This experience of alienation in one’s own land becomes the catalyst that drives the characters to construct a third space within non-physical dimensions spiritual, imaginary, and psychological as well as through stories-within-stories. These are manifested in the characters’ thoughts, utterances, and writings, taking the form of metadiegetic narratives. This study concludes that the narrative of return in the novel is articulated through two narrative levels: the primary diegetic narrative and the metadiegetic narrative (fiction within fiction). Together, they construct a third space as a fluid, continuously articulated, and perpetually evolving identity.

Abstract

Indonesian swear words frequently appear in everyday communication and serve various functions, such as expressing anger, stress, humor, or familiarity. In film subtitling, translating swear words can be challenging due to cultural differences that affect how emotional expressions are understood. This study aims to identify the types of Indonesian swear words and the subtitling strategies used to translate them into English in the Netflix film Penyalin Cahaya. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method by analyzing all sixteen  instances of swear words identified in the film's dialogue. The data are classified based on types of swearing and subtitling strategies. The findings reveal that the swear words fall into three categories: cathartic, abusive, and idiomatic swearing, with cathartic swearing being the most frequent. In terms of translation, three strategies are identified: direct translation, omission, and substitution. Substitution is the most commonly used strategy, indicating that the subtitler tends to adapt Indonesian swear words into culturally acceptable English expressions while maintaining the emotional meaning and communicative effect of the original dialogue. These findings offer a framework for understanding how cultural and pragmatic constraints shape subtitling decisions, with practical implications for subtitle editors working across culturally distant language pairs in the streaming industry.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of homosexual identity in Dae Mahanta’s novel Permen Gan?, employing Judith Butler’s queer theory framework with a focus on performative concepts. The contemporary novel was selected for its representation of the popularity of homosexual narratives among Indonesia’s younger generation and its textual framework for character identity formation. The research aims to describe three forms of performative behavior: (1) character appearance and physicality, (2) character discourse, and (3) character sexual activity. A qualitative approach based on text analysis was employed, utilizing literature review and citation documentation for data collection. Data analysis identified citation mechanisms, subversion, and parody within performative practices. The findings reveal that homosexual identity is not portrayed as an innate biological essence but rather as the result of fluid and unstable performative repetition. The performative nature of performances demonstrates that expressions of masculinity or femininity do not automatically determine sexual orientation. The performative aspects of discourse serve as both a medium for identity affirmation and negotiation with heteronormative norms. Sexual performance reflects desires constructed through imagination and same-sex interactions. These findings confirm that novels not only mirror social realities but actively intervene in gender and sexuality frameworks in Indonesia. This study contributes to advancing queer studies in contemporary Indonesian literature while deepening understanding of sexual identity construction dynamics in fiction.

Abstract

The rapid growth of social media has transformed communication practices, social interactions, and the formation of public opinion in contemporary society. Phenomena such as virality, digital shaming, and public judgment have become integral to digital life and are prominently represented in Wregas Bhanuteja’s film Budi Pekerti. This study investigates the representation of the structure of feeling and digital cultural dynamics in the film through Raymond Williams’s Cultural Studies framework. A qualitative approach was employed using cultural textual analysis. The data comprised 40 purposively selected scenes analysed through the concepts of structure of feeling and the categories of dominant, residual, and emergent culture. Data were analysed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing following the model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that the structure of feeling is the most dominant category (42.5%), encompassing social anxiety, fear of digital stigma, powerlessness, and emotional alienation. Dominant culture is reflected in virality, public judgment, the influence of netizen opinion, and digital social control. Residual culture appears through social ethics, respect for teachers, deliberation, and family solidarity. Emergent culture is represented by digital literacy, critical awareness, digital empathy, mental health awareness, and resistance to cancel culture. The study concludes that Budi Pekerti portrays social media virality as a new form of social power that shapes affective experiences, identity, legitimacy, and social relations in contemporary digital society.
