Abstract

Longing means craving for something, especially about love that has been gone for a long time. Solitude is a song by Billie Holiday released in 1952. The song describes the feelings of a singer who feels lonely because she has been left by her partner and also wants her partner to come back again. Then, this article would like to answer question of how may longingness be accentuated on Billie Holiday’s Solitude? The longing experience of connection and companionship is a key theme in the lyrics of the song. Billie Holiday employs how she artfully conveys the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, intensifying the emotional impact of the song. In conclusion, the exploration of Solitude song and the emprises of longingness not only illuminates the profound emotional depths of her artistry, but also underscores the enduring power of music to express and to transcend the universal human experience of longing.

Abstract

This study examines the use of ideology as a defensive factors towards social imperialism in the novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. In this novel, there are many tense situations between the local population, workers, and European merchant colonizers. The research has two primary objectives: 1) to identify the forms of social imperialism presented in the novel, and 2) to describe how ideology is utilized as a defensive factor against social imperialism. Utilizing a sociology of literature approach, this study draws on Vladimir Lenin’s theory of imperialism and Marxist ideology as developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The research employs a qualitative methodology, with data collected from textual excerpts of characters and situations in the novel. The analysis identifies four forms of social imperialism: monopoly capitalism, export of capital, division of the world, and economic motive. Additionally, three ideological responses are found to act as defensive factors towards social imperialism: the inevitability of revolution, the abolition of private property, and international worker solidarity. The inevitability of revolution is the most prominent playing a central role in countering social imperialism in the narrative.

Abstract

Language reflects culture, with taboos and euphemisms playing key roles in communication. Taboos prevent direct mention of sensitive topics, while euphemisms offer alternative expressions to maintain politeness in the target language culture. This study examines and compares taboos and euphemisms in Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and its Indonesian translation, Sebuah Seni Untuk Bersikap Bodo Amat. A descriptive qualitative method was used to analyze English sexual words and their euphemistic translations. Data were collected from both books, and a comparative method assessed the equivalence of sexual terms. The analysis found 65 sexual taboo words in the English version: 51 related to Sexual Acts and 14 to Sexual Organs. The Indonesian translation used 65 euphemisms across seven categories, with omission being most frequent with 25 instances. This suggests an effort to avoid explicit sexual language to fit Indonesian cultural norms. Euphemisms served as a cultural adaptation strategy, reflecting a preference for simplicity and directness while respecting cultural sensitivities. The study highlights how sensitive topics are reshaped to align with the social and moral framework of the target audience.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of gairaigo (loanwords) in Japanese sentences, specifically within the 36th issue of Niponica, an online magazine published by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The purpose is to examine the morphological processes involved in gairaigo usage and their impact on Japanese sentence construction. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing data collected from direct observation of written content in the magazine, analyzed through note-taking techniques. Data were categorized based on morphological processes such as affixation, composition, and clipping. The study finds that gairaigo often undergoes transformations such as affixation, where English words are adapted with Japanese suffixes (e.g., dejitaru ka for "digitization"), and composition, where foreign and native vocabulary are combined (e.g., pen saki for "pen tip"). These processes reflect the ongoing linguistic adaptation and enrichment of Japanese, influenced by both global and local factors. The study concludes that gairaigo plays a crucial role in modernizing Japanese vocabulary while maintaining cultural identity, particularly through the distinct use of katakana and the adaptation of foreign concepts into the local context.

Abstract

Exploring plot and techniques such as dialogue presentation and implicit character traits provides a deeper understanding of how these elements contribute to the narrative structure. Through a qualitative descriptive method, this paper examines the progression of the plot from exposition to resolution, shedding light on the interconnectedness of characterization and plot development in cinematic storytelling. The renowned film "The Childe 2023" showcases dynamic characterizations throughout the storyline. This analysis explores the intricate interplay between character evolution and the narrative techniques employed in movies to develop each character's persona and to shape and reinforce the plot. There are at least 17 distinct personality traits depicted and techniques for portraying these personalities including explicit presentation through dialogue and implicit portrayal through actions and interactions. Along with that, personality depiction techniques have been identified, such as presenting explicit dialogue from others and implicitly showing how characters speak, dress, act, and think. By examining these elements of characterization thoroughly, the researcher could also determine the main structure of the film, including the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The interconnectedness of characterization elements and plot development was evident, as character arcs intertwined with the narrative trajectory, shaping the film's overarching storyline.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of cultural structure on gender stereotypes in "Frozen 2" by Jennifer Lee, with two main objectives: 1) to identify the forms of gender stereotypes present and 2) to describe how these stereotypes are influence by cultural structures. Employing Karl Marx's cultural structure theory, the research examines the "base" through subcategories such as social class, ideology, and division of labor, as well as the "superstructure" encompassing laws, politics, culture, and art. Additionally, it incorporates Simone de Beauvoir's perspective on gender stereotypes, focusing on the concept of "the Other" with subcategories including intersectionality, stereotypes as tools for power, the eternal feminine, and the notion of going beyond women. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the study conducts a descriptive analysis of the film alongside relevant literature. The findings reveal that "Frozen 2" portrays various gender stereotypes, particularly in its depiction of female characters who, despite their strength and independence, are still influenced by traditional gender norms. Ultimately, the research highlights how cultural structures significantly impact the representation of gender in the film, illustrating the complex interplay between societal norms and individual identity, and contributing to a deeper understanding of how cultural narratives can either reinforce or challenge gender stereotypes.
