Abstract

Examining the text organization of the Mandalika Tourism Website provides valuable insights into the strategies used to present information in a coherent and appealing manner. The significance of this study lies in its potential to examine the textual organization of the tourism website. This study addresses a gap in the literature by focusing on the specific text organization strategies of Mandalika tourism website. This study aims to uncover the underlying textual structures and patterns that contribute to its promotional success. This analysis does not only shed light on the website's organization, but also offers insights into the genre conventions of tourism websites in general. This study uses a descriptive qualitative study focusing on text organization analysis of Mandalika tourism website. There are five steps in analyzing the data. The result shows that Mandalika Tourism Website fits within the advertisement genre, as its primary aim is to promote tourism destinations in Mandalika. However, it only employs seven of these moves, and their application is not strictly sequential. Each move structure employed in the website serves a distinct function and plays a critical role in the overall effectiveness of the tourism website as an advertisement medium. The move structures used can be categorized into three primary functions: informative, persuasive, and reminding. It can be said that conducting analysis of textual strategies in the website helps attracting and increasing tourism occupancy in Mandalika.

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesian audiences respond to LGBTQ+ narratives in Netflix series such as Feel Good (2020), Heartstopper (2022), and Glamorous (2023) through Stuart Hall's Audience Reception Theory. Employing a qualitative approach with 29 participants, it explores how these series influence viewers' knowledge, and awareness, particularly in relation to cultural and societal norms. The findings indicate that these narratives contribute to audience understanding across five key areas: LGBTQ+ identity and experiences, cultural and societal insights, moral lessons, challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, and critical perspectives on representation. Additionally, the study identifies four distinct awareness categories: recognizing LGBTQ+ individuals as human beings, understanding their experiences, acknowledging diverse gender identities, and recognizing the media’s role in shaping perceptions. These results suggest that exposure to LGBTQ+ content in streaming media can promote empathy, broaden perspectives, and challenge existing biases. By highlighting the informative and awareness-raising potential of these series, the study underscores the role of media in shaping public discourse and social attitudes toward gender and sexuality, ultimately contributing to a growing recognition of diverse identities within Indonesian society.

Abstract

Yorùbá films have developed over time owing to westernisation and technological advancements. Due to this development, contemporary Yorùbá films are easily accessible through the internet and social media. However, the cultural contents of these films remain questionable due to influences from the western world. Studies have identified the portrayal of Yorùbá culture, history and folklores in Yorùbá films with less emphasis on the way contemporary Yorùbá films have hybridised various cultures and possibly marginalised the Yorùbá culture as a result of westernisation and civilisation. The qualitative research approach, using document analysis was therefore adopted to examine cultural hybridity and marginality in contemporary Yoruba films. Four purposively selected films (Jagunjagun, Anikulapo, Agesinkole, and Elesin-Oba) constituted the texts analysed thematically and interpreted using the theories of Cultural Hybridity and Cultural Marginality. Findings revealed that the selected films portray the hybridisation of Yorùbá culture with other cultures, while marginalising the Yorùbá culture in many cases. The paper argued that the film-makers’ quest for global acceptance and profit making are responsible for these hybridisation and marginalisation. Therefore, economy is at the centre of movie-making in Nigeria, irrespective of the cultural interest of both the film-makers and the audience.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in genre analysis by examining the rhetorical moves in the introductions of research proposals written by Indonesian undergraduate students. Adopting a corpus-based genre analysis approach, this research applies Swales's (1990) Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model as its analytical framework. The corpus consists of 30 texts. While the analysis confirms the presence of Move 1 (Establishing a Territory) and Move 3 (Occupying the Niche), the most striking finding is the near-total absence of Move 2 (Establishing a Niche) in the students' writing. This result suggests that students lack the rhetorical skills to identify a gap in existing literature. The study argues that this deficit is a significant pedagogical issue, not a mere reflection of the small corpus size. The findings underscore a need for EAP instruction to focus more on teaching students how to critically engage with literature and articulate a research gap. This research offers valuable insights for curriculum development and teaching strategies aimed at improving students' academic writing skills.

Abstract

This study examines how language and communication strategies can influence the perception and response of Gen-Millennials and Gen-Z towards climate change issues in Indonesia. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 127 respondents consisting of 77 Gen-Z and 50 Gen-Millennials, and presented concisely and structured through frequency tables and illustrative diagrams. The data analysis process was carried out through several stages, namely descriptive analysis, inferential analysis, and then interpreting the findings. The findings show that the intensity of social media use from Gen-Millennials is more often aimed at seeking information than Gen-Z which is only for entertainment, the result is that Gen-M interacts more often with climate change issues than Gen-Z, although both still consider it important. Furthermore, persuasive technical terms have the potential to increase the motivation of both generations to be directly involved in climate change action. This study highlights the need for targeted communication strategies to increase public awareness and engagement on climate change issues. These findings enrich approaches to language teaching and intercultural training, particularly in the context of environmental education, broaden understanding of intergenerational communication styles in environmental advocacy, and provide practical insights for developing impactful campaigns tailored to generational preferences, thereby contributing to the success of climate advocacy efforts in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates ostensible invitations in English and Indonesian from a cross-cultural perspective, focusing on their linguistic forms and pragmatic functions. Ostensible invitations—offers made without a genuine expectation of acceptance—are examined through naturally occurring conversations, role-play data, and discourse analysis. The study draws on politeness theory, speech act theory, and high- vs. low-context cultural frameworks to explore how indirectness, formulaic expressions, and contextual cues convey non-literal intent. In English, ostensible invitations often employ vague or non-committal phrasing to minimize imposition and protect negative face, such as “We should get together sometime.” In Indonesian, they frequently appear in culturally prescribed forms like Main ke rumah kapan-kapan (“Come to my house sometime”), functioning to maintain social harmony (kerukunan) and express positive politeness. Findings reveal that while both languages use ostensible invitations to manage interpersonal relationships, their underlying motivations and interpretive cues differ due to contrasting cultural values, such as individualism in English-speaking contexts and collectivism in Indonesian society. The research highlights implications for intercultural communication, language teaching, and translation, aiming to reduce misunderstandings caused by differing pragmatic norms.

Abstract

Women’s oppression remains a critical global issue, as reflected in Tayeb Saleh’s “Season of Migration to the North”. This study examines the intersecting dimensions of oppression faced by the novel’s female characters, employing Sean Ruth’s (1988) theory of oppression—physical, psychological, internalized, and economic—and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s (1989) theory of intersectionality (the idea that overlapping identities such as gender, race, and culture create distinct forms of disadvantage). It also attends to “double colonization,” namely women’s simultaneous subjection to colonial power and to local patriarchal control. The purpose of this research is to analyze how the novel portrays systemic oppression through the experiences of both black Sudanese and white British women by focusing on how intersecting identities amplify their marginalization. A qualitative descriptive method was applied through close reading and analysis of key passages to identify evidence of oppression and its broader societal implications. The results reveal that black Sudanese women, such as Hosna Bint Mahmoud, endure compounded oppression driven by cultural norms, religious interpretations, and economic dependency. In contrast, British women experience gendered violence and manipulation despite their racial privilege within colonial hierarchies. The novel’s distinctive contribution to postcolonial feminist discourse lies in its exposure of a paradox: acts framed as resistance to colonial dominance can reproduce patriarchal harm; and this shows that power circulates across multiple domains rather than along a single axis. In conclusion, this study highlights how “Season of Migration to the North” critiques patriarchal and colonial dominance by offering a comprehensive understanding of how overlapping systems of power shape women’s experiences in postcolonial contexts.

Abstract

The 19th century as the peak period of colonization and the golden period of Western travel writing creates a complex context in intercultural interactions and representations of foreign cultures. The travel writing highlights the interactions of Western explorers with cultural diversity and the dynamics of power in intercultural relations. The research aims to analyze the representation of cultural difference and intercultural power relations reflected in 19th century French travel writings. The travel writings used are Voyages autour du monde et naufrages célèbres by Gabriel Lafond de Lurcy (1843) and Un Séjour dans l'île de Java (1898) by Jules Leclercq.  Grounded in Said’s theory of Orientalism, the research shows that representations of cultural difference were shaped by narratives of othering and ethnocentrism, and that intercultural encounters reflected unequal power relations that sustained Western dominance. In this context, 19th century French travel writings reinforced the discourse of orientalism and ethnocentrism, with representations of the East serving as a tool to sustain Western dominance and superiority. This study contributes to the understanding of how 19th century European literary narratives participated in cultural hegemony.

Abstract

This article examines the use of écriture féminine—a feminist writing practice that foregrounds women’s bodily experience and subjective voice—in Amalia Yunus’ novel Tutur Dedes: Doa dan Kutukan as a form of resistance against androcentric literary discourse. The novel challenges conventional stereotypes by portraying Dedes not as a passive object of male desire but as an active historical and political agent engaged in shaping social change. Through strategies such as first-person narration, symbolic representations of birth and motherhood, and the reclamation of female corporeality, the narrative confronts patriarchal constraints that have long defined women’s roles in literature. In this context, écriture féminine functions as a subversive practice that destabilizes what Cixous calls “phallogocentric structures”—systems of thought privileging male-centered logic—while simultaneously enabling women to reclaim their voices and identities. Likewise, the study employs Mignolo’s concept of “epistemic disobedience,” understood here as the deliberate act of resisting dominant frameworks of male-centered knowledge, to show how Yunus’ text reconfigures cultural memory. By reimagining Dedes as a figure of intellectual and political agency, the novel disrupts the androcentric canon that often marginalizes women as secondary characters. This study argues that Tutur Dedes: Doa dan Kutukan not only redefines female representation through narrative form and thematic symbolism but also contributes to a broader feminist discourse by demonstrating literature’s capacity to act as a site of resistance and transformative critique across cultural and disciplinary boundaries.

Abstract

This study examines the dual role of women in Kampung Batik Giriloyo as housewives and cultural practitioners who preserve the tradition of hand-drawn batik. Using a qualitative case study approach combined with Standpoint Theory, this study argues that batik making for women is not merely an economic activity, but also a medium for cultural transmission and challenging patriarchal norms. The role of the Sido Mukti batik group emerges as an important mediator in communication and economic aspects, with the process of intergenerational knowledge transfer beginning in childhood, and the specific challenges of competition from printed batik being an important point in this study. Data obtained from interviews and observations show how women transform their domestic identities into cultural leadership in the public sphere, despite being hindered by systematic gender barriers. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide a comprehensive interpretation of women’s contributions to the preservation of hand-drawn batik culture. These findings are intended as a reference for efforts to empower women and preserve traditional culture in Indonesia.
