Abstract

This study analyzes the shifts of text worlds in the novel Saman through Cognitive Poetics, particularly Text World Theory and the activation of mental schemata. With its multigenre character, ranging from poetic, documentary, erotic, and religious modes to light conversation and tragedy, Saman presents stylistic transitions that continually reshape the reader’s spatial, temporal, evaluative, and emotional orientations. The research employs a qualitative approach with units of analysis in the form of narrative fragments that mark genre transitions. The analysis involves close reading, text-world mapping, schema tracking, and the assessment of inter-genre coherence. The findings reveal three major cognitive strategies: the shift from phatic to evidential schemata in personal tragedy, the transition from embodied cognition to moral reasoning in erotic–religious passages, and the emergence of structured empathy in the move from poetic to documentary modes. This study fills a gap in previous research, which has rarely discussed the cognitive experience of Saman’s readers, while also highlighting the novel’s uniqueness as a multigenre text that demands high cognitive flexibility from its audience.

Abstract

This study examines the role of sustained face-threatening acts (FTAs) in the psychological decline of Arthur Fleck in Joker (2019) and their contribution to identity fragmentation. This study aims to explain how recurrent threats to positive and negative face function as a sociopragmatic mechanism that erodes self-esteem and accelerates psychological disintegration. Drawing on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) face theory, the study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach to identify and classify FTAs across six key scenes and interpret them within their broader social contexts. The analysis reveals that Arthur is persistently subjected to bald-on-record and unmitigated FTAs that undermine his positive face, while his negative face is constrained in institutional interactions, particularly in therapeutic settings. These patterns reflect clear power asymmetries and demonstrate how linguistic marginalization aligns with broader forms of social exclusion. The study concludes that the cumulative impact of FTAs constitutes a sociopragmatic process through which micro-level linguistic aggression contributes to the erosion of identity and the narrative transformation of Arthur Fleck into the Joker.

Abstract

This study examines the personality traits of key characters in the biographical film Milk (2008) through the lens of the Big Five personality theory, which includes Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The research focuses on five central figures—Harvey Milk, Dan White, Anne Kronenberg, Scott Smith, and Mayor George Moscone—to explore how their behaviors, interpersonal interactions, and decision-making reflect distinct personality dimensions. Data were collected through qualitative analysis of character actions, dialogue, and pivotal scenes, followed by categorization according to Big Five traits. The findings reveal significant contrasts among the characters: Harvey Milk demonstrates high openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion, coupled with moderate neuroticism; Dan White exhibits low openness and agreeableness but high neuroticism, explaining his impulsive and destructive behavior; Anne Kronenberg exemplifies organizational competence and emotional stability; Scott Smith shows introversion and moderate neuroticism reflecting personal conflict; and Mayor Moscone illustrates emotional steadiness and cooperative leadership. This study contributes to the understanding of character psychology in biographical cinema, highlighting how personality traits influence both individual behavior and relational dynamics within socio-political contexts. Implications for film studies, psychology, and leadership research are discussed.
