Abstract

This research explores the themes of identity, displacement, resistance, and hope within K'naan's song "Wavin' Flag" through a postcolonial lens and a historical biographical approach. Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, K'naan experienced firsthand the turmoil of the Somali Civil War, leading to his displacement and resettlement in North America. Drawing upon his personal experiences as a Somali diaspora individual, K'naan intricately weaves together imagery, narrative, and symbolism within the song to convey the complex realities of the diasporic experience. The analysis of the song's lyrics reveals a profound exploration of K'naan's connection to Somalia, his struggles with displacement, and his resilience in the face of adversity. For the approach, this study integrates postcolonial theory with historical biographical criticism. It aims to elucidate the intricate relationship among personal experience, cultural context, and artistic expression within the Somali diaspora community. In conclusion, this research underscores the significance of "Wavin' Flag" in portraying the complex realities of the Somali diaspora experience, while highlighting the transformative power of literature to foster cultural understanding, resilience, and social change.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of indigenous knowledge into children’s literature as a means of promoting disaster resilience among young readers. Through the lens of ecocriticism and descriptive qualitative research methodology, the study investigates the portrayal of smong, a form of indigenous knowledge from the Simeulue region of Indonesia, in two selected Literacy Cloud short stories: “Tsunami” by Yovita Siswanti and “Smong, the Dragon” by Maya Lestari. The analysis reveals how these stories effectively incorporate smong as a repository of local wisdom and resilience lessons in the face of natural disasters. Encouraging initiatives to incorporate more themes of indigenous knowledge into children's literature is crucial for promoting cultural preservation. In addition, integrating indigenous knowledge—particularly those with content related to disaster resilience—is valuable to empower children in disaster-prone areas. Overall, the study highlights the potential of children’s literature and digital platforms for education in fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural world amidst the challenges of environmental sustainability and possibilities of natural disasters.

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.
