Abstract

In the context of today’s global media culture, Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine portrays how individuals develop emotional attachment to mediated figures, as the main character forms a parasocial relationship with a musician. Although not fully explained in the narrative, this reflects a common phenomenon in the global era. This research aims to investigate the connection between mediated intimacy and the global era, as well as its impact on the development of individualism. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and drawing on Jean Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality, this research also explains how reality has been replaced by simulation via the media. The analysis reveals that the main character forms an emotional attachment based on media representations rather than fundamental interactions, symbolizing the shifting meaning of reality in modern life. Such attachment encourages the main character to withdraw from social situations and to prefer to live in an imaginary world. This reflects the rise of individualism in a global society influenced by the media. Beyond previous studies that primarily emphasize the psychological dimensions of parasocial ties, this research contributes by highlighting their cultural implications and significance in understanding contemporary social dynamics.

Abstract

This research constitutes a systematic literature review that investigates the application of tools and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in stylistic analysis. The objective of the evaluation is to identify the various types of tools and AI utilized in stylistics and to assess their respective advantages and disadvantages in facilitating language analysis. Since the selection of data sources is critical, the relevance of each article was carefully assessed to ensure analytical accuracy and applicability of the findings. Utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, nine pertinent articles published between 2015 and 2025 were examined according to specific inclusion criteria. The study’s findings reveal that tools such as Voyant Tools, WordSmith, LIWC, and StyloMetrix are extensively employed to analyze linguistic and stylometric characteristics across different text types, including poetry, emails, and texts generated by AI. While AI has demonstrated its ability to improve efficiency, objectivity, and analytical depth, it continues encountering difficulties in capturing linguistic subtleties and cultural contexts. This study advocates for a collaborative approach between humans and AI to achieve more thorough and precise stylistic analyses in education, literature, and forensic linguistics.

Abstract

This study explores Cleo’s loneliness in Coco Mellors’s Cleopatra and Frankenstein using a qualitative method. Although previous studies have examined loneliness in literary works, limited attention has been given to loneliness as an internal emotional condition that affects the dynamics of intimate relationships through the New Criticism approach. By using close reading, the analysis focuses on formal elements, namely characterization, plot, setting, symbol, and irony. Through this approach, the study reveals how Cleo’s loneliness is not a simply passing, but a condition that repeatedly shapes her decision, relationships, and sense of self. From moving, marrying, to hurting others, Cleo repeatedly attempts to escape from her loneliness. Rather than finding comfort from external connections, this study shows that Cleo finds emotional healing from within by returning to her artistic practice and transforming her pain into her art.

Abstract

This study explores how socio-economic background shapes the representation of girlhood in selected Indonesian children’s literature. Guided by Crenshaw’s intersectionality theory, which views identity as shaped by overlapping social categories, this study applies qualitative textual analysis to two storybooks from the Let’s Read Asia project, Cepat Kering, Bunga Kemboja! and Bukan Halangan. By using the close reading method, the analysis focuses on identifying scenes, expressions, and descriptions that construct different forms of resilience through different class contexts. The findings show that Ratih, a working-class girl, develops resilience and independence through financial hardship and self-sacrifice. On the other hand, Kapisa, the girl from a middle-class family, builds resilience through care, guidance, and access to information. These contrasting pathways demonstrate that social class strongly shapes the meaning of resilience and determines whether it is formed by necessity or through privilege. The study concludes that while both stories promote positive images of girls, they also risk normalizing inequality by presenting different class-based realities as equally admirable. These results highlight the importance of examining girlhood experiences at the intersection of gender, class, and age.
