Abstract

This study investigates the complexity of gender and sexual identities portrayed in LGBTQ+ series, 2gether the Series, by applying Stuart Hall’s representation theory. The series is chosen due to its discourses that portray sexual and gender identities. This study is a qualitative research, so this study focuses on the dialogues and discourses. Therefore, gender and sexual identities are investigated to find out how popular culture like 2gether the Series represents them in contemporary media. The result shows that the series challenges the traditional norms regarding sexual identities present in scenes that highlight fluidity, gender roles, and coming out. The researchers also find that several scenes in the series reinforce some of the stereotypes by embracing them in the discourse among the characters. Then, the researchers apply representation theory to analyze the data. This study concludes that gender and sexual identities in 2gether the Series are depicted in a complex manner, challenging traditional norms while also perpetuating certain stereotypes, which highlights the ongoing evolution of perceptions and acceptance in contemporary media.

Abstract

Gender issues are endless issues to be studied. The increasing number of women entering the workforce makes gender issues becoming increasingly interesting to discuss. One of the films that raised the issue of gender in the workplace is The Assistant (2019). This current study aims to analyse the issue of gender oppression experienced by the main female character in the film who works in a male-dominated company, especially those related to cultural imperialism. It uses a qualitative method using dialogue as the main data. These data will be analysed using the theory of the Five Faces of Oppression by Iris M. Young. The results of this study indicate that Jane experiences cultural imperialism which is influenced by the social norms prevailing in patriarchal culture. The cultural imperialism also triggers other forms of oppression which include the marginalization of women, exploitation of labour, and the powerlessness towards male co-workers and superiors. These oppressions occurred because of Jane's status as a woman and her position as an assistant. Jane experiences oppression because social norms and practices governing gender roles in society are also still applied in the workplace. Eventually, this research reveals that tasks that are usually done by women outside of their responsibilities can be categorized as oppression in the form of cultural imperialism which can reinforce oppression in other forms. Therefore, gender awareness is needed to be able to minimize acts of oppression for women in the workplace.

Abstract

This study explores the linguistic landscapes of virtual news articles and aims to determine the websites' choice of language from the linguistic perspective as well as to understand what distinct visual components are highlighted within the websites. This includes how the virtual linguistic landscape of news websites reflects cultural, political, and social ideologies; and examines how linguistic choices and multimodal elements influence the framing of news, the construction of identity, and the negotiation of power dynamics. The data for the study consists of five different international news sites which utilize English as the primary language. The study utilizes principles of Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) and Linguistic Landscape (LL) theory from Pauwels (2012). By understanding how news organizations leverage the virtual linguistic landscape, we gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics that shape our contemporary information landscape and how language and visuals influence public discourse and collective comprehension.
