Abstract

Previous studies on The King of Staten Island (2020) have largely focused on themes of masculinity, adulthood, or autobiographical elements of the filmmaker, while psychological analyses of grief in the film remain limited and theoretically underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining Scott Carlin’s grieving process through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief, while critically acknowledging contemporary perspectives that conceptualize grief as non-linear and cyclical. Employing qualitative narrative analysis, this research integrates an intrinsic approach, focusing on characterization, plot development, and setting, with an extrinsic psychological framework to interpret Scott’s emotional responses to loss. Data were collected through systematic note-taking, in which selected dialogues, actions, and key scenes were categorized based on explicit emotional indicators corresponding to denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The findings demonstrate that Scott experiences all five stages in a non-linear pattern, with denial and anger recurring most prominently, while acceptance emerges gradually through relational transformation rather than emotional resolution. This study contributes to psychological film analysis by demonstrating how Kübler-Ross’s model can be applied flexibly rather than sequentially, thereby reflecting the complexity of grief representation in contemporary cinema. Practically, the findings highlight the potential of movie scripts as a medium for fostering emotional awareness and understanding of unresolved grief, particularly among young adults.

Abstract

This comparative mixed-method study examines declarative speech acts in elderly care communication across two contrasting contexts:  the fictional portrayal in The Father by Florian Zeller and real-life interactions within the LANTERA program in Paseh, Bandung. This study is grounded in the theoretical framework of Pragmatics, particularly speech act theory. The research investigates how declarative functions such as informing, asserting, clarifying, reassuring, assigning roles, and expressing authority construct social meaning in caregiving. Data on fictional text are examined through discourse analysis, while data from the LANTERA program derive from questionnaires, observations, and semi-structured interviews, supported by descriptive statistics on respondents’ characteristics and communication patterns. Finding indicates both convergence and divergence between fictional and real contexts. In the fictional narrative, declaratives frequently reflect cognitive decline, power negotiation, and emotional tension, often producing ambiguity and disorientation. In contrast, LANTERA interactions emphasize clarity, politeness, and social harmony shaped by Sundanese cultural norms. Gender patterns appear in both settings: female caregivers tend to employ inclusive and mitigating declaratives expressing empathy, while male caregivers more frequently use assertive forms associated with authority and task orientation. The study highlights how linguistic choices mediate dignity, control, and relational balance in elderly care. The research recommends integrating culturally grounded communication training, empathy-oriented scripting, and monitoring of pragmatic quality to improve elderly services. By juxtaposing fiction and lived practice, the study underscores the value of literary representations as tools for reflecting on real-world caregiving discourse.

Abstract

This study examines how environmental responsibility is discursively constructed in Alissa Qotrunnada Wahid’s speech by situating it within broader debates on religion, language, and the global climate crisis. The research aims to identify the ideological orientation of the speech and to evaluate its ecological implications through critical discourse analysis. Employing Fairclough’s (2003) three-dimensional model, textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice, this study is complemented by Halliday’s transitivity system as well as the ecolinguistics and ecosophy framework developed by Stibbe (2021). The findings reveal that, at the textual level, the speech is dominated by material, relational, and mental processes, which collectively construct environmental protection as concrete, urgent, and morally grounded collective action rather than a purely abstract or normative appeal. The inclusive pronoun “we” positions religious institutions and communities as active agents of change, while relational processes establish environmental protection as an essential ethical and spiritual value. At the level of discursive practice, the speech is produced and legitimized through the symbolic authority of major religious organizations, particularly Nahdlatul Ulama and the GUSDURian Network, and disseminated through both formal education and grassroots community-based initiatives, including interfaith and family-centered programs. In the dimension of social practice, the discourse reflects and responds to Indonesia’s ecological challenges and advances religious ideology that frames nature as a moral trust integral to religious teachings. From an ecolinguistic perspective, the analysis concludes that the speech predominantly constitutes a beneficial discourse. It affirms values of sustainability, rejects exploitative representations of nature, and actively promotes the transformation of awareness and collective social practice toward ecological responsibility.

Abstract

This paper investigated how episode titles in Breaking Bad (2008–2013) carried multiple interconnected meanings that influenced narrative interpretation. By applying a cognitive semantics framework, it explored how polysemous titles activated semantic networks and invited dynamic reinterpretation as the story unfolded. Using qualitative content analysis, four episodes—Pilot (S1E1), Cancer Man (S1E4), Crazy Handful of Nothin’ (S1E6), and I See You (S3E8)—were examined for literal and metaphorical layers of meaning. Findings revealed that titles functioned simultaneously as direct references (e.g., medical diagnosis, poker bluff, hospital surveillance) and as metaphorical devices (e.g., Walt as “pilot” of his destiny, cancer as moral decay, bluff as illusion of power, surveillance as vulnerability). Cognitive semantics explained how audiences process these layered meanings: viewers initially interpreted titles literally, but as narrative contexts evolved, they re-accessed metaphorical dimensions through semantic network activation. These layered meanings enriched character arcs, foreshadowed conflicts, and amplified thematic resonance, particularly in the exploration of morality, identity, and consequence. By highlighting polysemy as both a linguistic and cognitive-semantic device, this research contributed to television studies and linguistic analysis, offering new insights into how ambiguity in language deepened storytelling and sustained audience engagement across disciplines.

Abstract

This study examines the role of memory and forgetting in The Buried Giant through the lens of trauma theory, in which memory emerges as a delayed and disruptive return of unassimilated experience. While previous studies emphasize collective memory, limited attention has been given to how belated memory reshapes individual behavior. Drawing on Cathy Caruth's concept of belated experience, this study analyzes whether forgetting functions as a protection or repression and how remembering transforms emotional responses and relationships. Using qualitative textual analysis and close reading of key narrative events, the study focuses on the function of forgetting and whether remembering changes the behavior of Axl, Beatrice, Wistan, and Sir Gawain. The findings show that forgetting functions simultaneously as psychological protection and political repression: it preserves emotional stability at the personal level while suppressing unresolved historical violence at the collective level. However, the return of memory destabilizes both domains, reshaping identity, moral perception, and relational dynamics. This study demonstrates that remembering does not simply recover the past but reconfigures the present, exposing the ethical tension between peace sustained through forgetting and truth revealed through memory. These findings contribute to trauma and memory studies by highlighting the complex role of forgetting as both a stabilizing and destabilizing force in post- conflict narrative. By foregrounding the behavioural consequences of belated memory, this study highlights how Ishiguro’s narrative problematizes reconciliation built on enforced forgetting.
