Abstract

Iksaka Banu’s “Di Ujung Belati is a short story set in the colonial era. The social class system established by the Dutch government at that time makes the natives difficult to speak in various spheres of life. In this study, the short story was discussed using the perspective of subalternity introduced by Spivak. The method used was the literature review method. Based on the discussion, it can be seen that the Dutch put the natives in a subaltern position in terms of gender, economy, and culture. The oppression perceived by the subaltern gives rise to resistance in the form of rebellion and betrayal towards the Dutch government. That rebellion and betrayal is the way the subaltern speaks. Even though they have succeeded in overthrowing the Dutch, the natives are under the domination of another Western power, which is Britain. This shows that the natives are not completely successful in fighting Western hegemony. In relation to the current context of globalization, “Di Ujung Belati” short story can be a form of raising public awareness of the existence of neocolonialism after colonialism is abolished.

Abstract

The development of impressions on the Youtube channel contributes to the development of language use both on social media and the wider community, including in expressive speech about taste. Therefore, this study aims to explain the expressive utterances of taste used by Indonesian content creators in culinary review shows on the Youtube channel. This research is descriptive research with a qualitative method. The data source is culinary reviews shown on the Youtube channel from Indonesian content creators with data in the form of expressive utterances about taste. Data analysis was carried out by describing lingual units containing expressive utterances about taste through sociolinguistic studies. Based on the results of the study, the expressive utterances about taste used by Indonesian content creators in culinary review shows on Youtube channels include mantap “perfect”, badabest, nggak ada obat “the best”, seger “fresh”, mantep poll, mantap “yummy”, dabest, parah “heavenly”, bold banget “very bold”, nampol. Gak ngotak “very delicious”, umami, seksi banget “very appetizing”, Ya Allah “Oh Allah”, and gila “crazy” in addition to enak, lezat, sedap, and nikmat “tasty”. Due to the dynamic nature of the language, the creative lingual units used by the community, both online and in conversations outside the network, should be documented to map language development.

Abstract

This paper contends with “Revelationism” which is depicted by Malcolm Turvey in his Doubting Vision. Its thesis is that any effort made by showing scenes on the screen, no matter how helpful or sophisticated the camera in enhancing the vision ability, will only cause the spectators to cling more on the power of Totalitarian Master and therefore the return to subjectivity is importance. In the first part of the paper, I will start by introducing about the act of seeing followed by examining Turvey's Doubting Vision which mainly focuses on Revelationism. In the next part, I will further explore especially part of Turvey's argument related to the contemporary theory, discuss about fantasy of totality, especially body as a totality, and then analyze Alien quadrilogy as the example. In the last part, I will establish the laying foundation of my argument connected with the way Totalitarian Master works and para-identification which basically contend with the revelationism. In the conclusion, I argue that movies rather than reveal something, it functions more like giving the notion that the spectators will never understand wholly. Indeed, it is this feeling of being exploited by Totalitarian Master which then clearly shows the importance to return to subjectivity.

Abstract

Internalized sexism focuses on the forms of sexist behaviour and attitudes conducted by women toward themselves and other women. This article discusses the internalized sexism on TikTok videos tagged with “Pick Me Girl” or the hashtag #PickMeGirl. It can be defined as a social media phenomenon dominated by women who always consider that they are the best in any kind of condition. As they are feeling perfect, they easily hate, insult, and compete with other women. The method used is qualitative. The data was collected by focusing on Pick Me Girl videos on TikTok and giving a critical understanding of the languages the women used in the video. This study was working within the theoretical framework of misogyny by Kate Manne and the concept of internalized sexism. This study aims to explore Pick Me Girl’s sexist behaviors and attitudes and investigate the relationship between women. The results show that Pick Me Girl on TikTok presents the ideas of beauty standard which differ among women, competition between women to get men’s attention, women’s self-objectification, and humiliation toward other women. Although the competition eventually destroys the other women, this characteristic offers pleasure to Pick Me Girl women. Internalized misogyny subsequently leads women to insult other women, hatred other women, and decrease other’s women’s values. Internalized sexism is obviously seen through their actions on social media.

Abstract

An interview is a discourse between the interviewer and the interviewee with the goal of exchanging information. Seen from the perspective of speech act’s theory, one of the functions of an interview is to deliver information from the speaker to the hearer where assertive acts are prominent. However, research on assertive acts to date has devoted little attention to the Islamic discourse. Therefore, this present study discusses assertive acts uttered by the guest speaker talking about her work and experiences as a Muslim living in Australia. This current study collected the data from the transcription of a New South Wales Premier’s Reading Challenge interview with Randa Abdel-Fattah episode. This study applied the descriptive qualitative approach using content analysis in approaching data. In analyzing the data, the researchers were indebted to Searle and Kreidlr, especially on their classifications of assertive acts. The results show seven types of assertive acts noticeable in Randa Abdel-Fattah’s responses to the interview with telling as the most often evident act.

Abstract

This study attempted to reveal the representation of men in a feminist online magazine named Magdalene.co to perform a transparent relationship between language, social practice, and social structure. For the data analysis, I combined the three-dimensional model from Fairclough (2001) and Halliday’s transitivity (2004). Qualitative approach and document analysis were conducted towards the data in the form of articles taken from Gender and Sexuality rubric. This study found out that there are representations portrayed in Magdalene.co, namely: (1) Men are the Victim of Patriarchy, (2) Men are Socially Pressured and Emotionally Stunted, (3) Men do Have Privileges, (4) Men Need Feminism, and (5) Men Should Freely Express Themselves. These representations occurred mostly in form of active-positive clauses containing relational process. The representations also aligned with the editorial point of view in Magdelene.co which adopts advocacy and gender-sensitive journalism. As the result, Magdalene.co in those articles implied their goals to create a new paradigm regarding masculinity. Furthermore, their goal is influenced by third-wave feminism that leads to the idea of male contribution in feminist movements, such as in Aliansi Laki-laki Baru (ALB). In this case, ALB contributed to the representation in Magdalene.co as the magazine portrayed ALB as the best example of men community in the realm of feminism.
