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.

Abstract

Literary works refer to books and writings with distinctive reason, emotion, and imagination characteristics. Poetry is a literary work that is a means for a poet to express the contents of his/her thoughts and feelings by prioritizing the aesthetics of language that is structured in such a way. This study analyzes poetry as a literary work that is transferred from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL), or what is known as poetry translation. This study aims to analyze M. Aan Mansyur’s translation of the poem “A Dirge” by Christina Rossetti. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method because the data is compared and described in writing and content analysis. The data sources are a translation of the poem “Sebuah Ratapan” by M. Aan Mansyur and the original poem in English. This analysis results from Newmark's translation method and Lefevere's poetry translation strategy, showing that free and rhymed poetry translation strategies dominate poetry translation texts.

Abstract

Education is continuously evolving to meet the demands of the 21st century, and flipped learning has emerged as an innovative approach to make classes more engaging and learner centered. This study investigates the challenges and benefits of flipped learning in the context of teaching English in Indonesia through a systematic literature review. 34 journal articles published between 2017 and 2024 were analyzed. The methodology involved content analysis to identify recurring themes related to flipped learning’s challenges and benefits. Findings indicate that flipped learning enhances efficiency, student engagement, and the development of 21st-century skills, including critical thinking and digital literacy. However, challenges such as students’ readiness, technical issues, and unsupportive learning environments persist, hindering their broader implementation. The study underscores the need for more longitudinal research involving lower-level groups to fully explore flipped learning’s potential in Indonesia. These insights are expected to inform policymakers, educators, and researchers about designing more effective pedagogical strategies.

Abstract

This research is conducted to examine the word formation processes contained in the naming of digital health platforms in Indonesia  This research would mainly focus on analyzing how the patterns of language, culture and region influence the trends of name creation in the global digital health sector. This research uses qualitative research in a morphosemantic approach. From the result analysis, some types of word-formation processes include compounding, blending, and clipping,to identify the strategies behind these naming conventions.The findings reveal that digital health platforms in Indonesia often combine local Indonesian elements, such as "Sehat"  and "Dokter", with global English terms like "Health"and"Go”. The blending of local and global components illustrates the contradictory impact of globalization and the necessity to maintain cultural relevance. The study emphasizes that cultural qualities,like as friendliness and approachability, are integrated into company names through welcomes like "Halo", while the incorporation of English phrases seeks to convey a contemporary and professional image. This research illustrates that the interaction between language processes and cultural context is crucial for developing significant and memorable brand identities. These findings enhance linguistic research and offer practical insights for branding strategies in the digital health sector, especially in culturally varied markets such as Indonesia.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze how language and identity are related in a film directed by Riri Riza entitled Sokola Rimba. This film follows a struggle of Butet Manurung who teaches Orang Rimba and how she tries to overcome the obstacles. This study applies sociolinguistic frameworks specifically language and identity by John Edwards. The data is divided into three categories namely identity: personal and social, the construction and maintenance of groupness, also language and circumstance. The results of the study show that: (1) all the prominent characters’ identity are shaped by their personal identity as well as the social identity given from the interaction within the social group. (2) The culture and values of Orang Rimba are strongly rooted in their life which enables them to still maintain their group. (3) The use of Kubu language and Bahasa Indonesia symbolize Orang Rimba’s strong culture as well as their willingness to adapt with the changes from outside. It is expected that the future researches can focus on analyzing the use of Kubu language.
