Abstract

The concept of subaltern and epistemic violence often featured in recent literary works, among others is R. F. Kuang’s Babel. This study uses the applications of Spivak’s subaltern theory in the historical fantasy novel Babel by R. F. Kuang through Victoire Desgraves and Letitia Price who are the main female characters of the story. Subaltern theory by Spivak most importantly addressed the difference of western feminist and subaltern women. Women can silence other women on account of their difference, such as class and race (Spivak, 1988). Using the postcolonial feminism framework, this study will use Babel by R. F. Kuang as the source of data. The researcher will analyse all the data that has been collected in several steps. First, the data will be analysed with Spivak’s theory of subaltern to uncover the representation of subaltern woman in Babel through Victoire Desgraves’ character. Second, the data will be analysed with Spivak’s theory of epistemic violence to prove Letitia Price’s action of trivialising Victoire Desgraves’ struggle as a subaltern. This study will contribute to offer understanding on how subaltern women can be silenced and harmed by invisible violence from western feminist who unconsciously disregard subaltern struggle.Keywords: Spivak, Epistemic Violence, Silence, Postcolonial Feminism, Babel

Abstract

This study examines the manifestation of Carl Jung’s archetypes of Persona, Shadow, and Anima in the character of Connell Waldron in Sally Rooney’s Normal People (2018), as well as how his individuation process unfolds through his evolving relationship with these three archetypes. The objectives of this study are to identify how the Persona, Shadow, and Anima manifest in Connell’s character and to examine the progression of his individuation through the integration of these archetypes. This research employs psychoanalytic literary criticism grounded in Jungian theory, using a descriptive qualitative method. The primary data consist of dialogues, internal monologues, and narrative descriptions taken from the novel, while the secondary data are drawn from relevant theoretical and academic sources. The findings reveal that Connell’s Persona manifests through two social roles, the popular student and the loyal friend. Beneath these masks, his Shadow consists of repressed insecurity rooted in class difference, internalized shame, and guilt over the death of his friend, Rob. Meanwhile, his Anima emerges through the vulnerability and tenderness that surface only within his relationship with Marianne Sheridan. Connell’s individuation unfolds gradually across three stages: he confronts his Persona at university by reconnecting with his authentic self through literature, integrates his Shadow by consciously choosing therapy and medication, and integrates his Anima by transforming sporadic emotional outbursts into a conscious form of care for Marianne. This study concludes that Rooney portrays individuation not as a sudden transformation, but as a quiet and ongoing process shaped by deliberate choices and the presence of meaningful relationships.

Abstract

The study explores the role of Shadow and Anima archetypes in Otto Anderson's individuation process in the film A Man Called Otto (2022). It seeks to understand how Otto's Shadow and his Anima are expressed in his daily life with his neighbors, and how his individuation is expressed as a result of integrating his Shadow and Anima. The study is based on Carl Jung's analytical psychology and uses the concepts of archetypes (Shadow and Anima) as the primary theoretical framework. The study is qualitative and uses the Jungian analysis of film as a method of interpreting the film narrative, dialogue, and monologue as primary data. Secondary data sources consist of scholarly literature on Jungian theory and film studies. Data were gathered by repeated watching, close reading of the subtitles, screenshots, and thematic coding of scenes depicting the Shadow projection, the Anima influence, and the stages of individuation, and then analyzed by mapping the data to Jung's concepts. The findings indicate that Otto's Shadow, which is based on traumatic events, manifests in several ways including suicide attempts, unintegrated grief, denial of reality, and rudeness toward others. In contrast, his Anima is activated first by Marisol and the caring neighborhood community, which gradually restores Otto's ability to empathize, nurture, and take responsibility for relationships. In general, the study demonstrates that individuation for Otto is not about forgetting loss, but rather is about the integration of his Shadow and his Anima into a unified sense of Self. The discovery highlights the psychological complexity of characters in modern films, revealing the potential of Jungian analysis in exploring the unconscious mind within popular film genres.
