Abstract

Women have historically been depicted through negative stereotypes, portrayed as dependent, vulnerable, and unable to lead. Films often reinforce these roles, emphasizing women's domestic responsibilities while men dominate public spheres. However, the release of Barbie (2023) presents a transformative perspective, advocating for gender equality. This study analyzes the representation of women in Barbie (2023) using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, focusing on signs, myths, and their connotative and denotative meanings. The research uncovers three key representations: (1) women can achieve any aspiration; (2) women can be independent and assertive; and (3) women exhibit courage in the face of oppression. The findings reveal that the protagonist in Barbie reflects the evolving social realities of women, depicting them as strong and independent, contrary to traditional patriarchal views. This shift indicates a progressive decline in outdated gender perspectives, showcasing a positive portrayal of gender equality. Ultimately, Barbie (2023) serves as a significant cultural artifact that promotes a more equitable view of women's roles in society.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Text-Responsive Forms (TRFs) in enhancing the comprehension and critical thinking skills of 4th-semester students when engaging with scientific articles. The study employed a qualitative study approach, incorporating Text Responsive Form assessment, questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews to gather data on students’ written and oral responses. The findings revealed that while Text-Responsive Forms were successful in improving foundational comprehension, as students were able to accurately summarize and organize key points from the articles, they struggled with deeper critical engagement and analysis. Interviews revealed that many students could clearly articulate basic information but found it challenging to delve into more complex, analytical discussions. Students’ perceptions indicated that the Text Responsive Form was useful for structuring responses but still insufficient in fostering critical analysis. The study concluded that while Text Responsive Forms provide important foundational skills, they should be supplemented with additional strategies to better prepare students for academic and advanced writing tasks that require comprehensive understanding and critical evaluation of academic texts.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study aims to analyze Zoulfa Katouh’s As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow from an ecocritical perspective, focusing on how the natural environment is central to the narrative. By applying ecocriticism, this paper demonstrates how the novel's themes of home, identity, and surviv-al are deepened, particularly in contemporary war narratives. The enduring presence of the natural world encapsulates the overarching message of the novel: hope—like nature—is resilient. Furthermore, it is crucial to recognize that during times of war, human trauma is not the only impact; the environ-ment is significantly affected as well. As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow highlights the complex relationship between nature and human resilience in wartime, emphasizing that the survival of the land is intertwined with the sur-vival of its people. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the novel's ecological dimensions and the broader implications of nature's role in shaping human experience amidst conflict.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of childhood experiences on the character development of fifth-semester English Literature students at Universitas Ba-likpapan through a psychoanalytic perspective. Utilizing qualitative meth-ods, including surveys and interviews, the research explores how early life experiences, internal conflicts, and academic environments shape students' social interactions and decision-making processes. The findings indicate that 65.6% of respondents feel their childhood experiences significantly affect their current social interactions, aligning with Sigmund Freud's theory that early developmental stages impact adult personality. Additionally, 34.4% of student’s report that past emotional experiences influence their ability to face academic challenges, highlighting the role of the id, ego, and superego in managing internal conflicts. The study underscores the importance of pos-itive interactions with educators in reinforcing moral values and shaping student character, suggesting that higher education should not only focus on academic knowledge but also support holistic character development. The implications for educators include creating an environment conducive to fostering students' emotional resilience and integrity.
