Abstract

The present research aims to analyse the translation techniques, methods, and underlying ideologies used in translating the Minangkabau song Taragak Pulang into English. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in translation theory. The data consists of the lyrics of Taragak Pulang in Minangkabau and their English translation. Data collection was conducted through direct observation and note-taking, focusing on key aspects of the song and its translation. Data analysis follows an interactive model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results show that the translation of this song employs various translation techniques, including established equivalence, adaptation, modulation, reduction, generalisation, amplification, particularisation, and transposition. The established equivalence technique is the most dominantly applied technique to ensure clarity of the song’s lyrics in the target language. In this case, the translation method is oriented toward the target language, utilising eight translation techniques. From the perspective of translation ideology, the analysis suggests that the translation of this song tends toward domestication, which involves adapting the source text to make it more suitable within the cultural and linguistic context of the target language.

Abstract

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), one of the superheroes most closely associated with technology is Iron Man. He built and operated advanced digital life assistants that embody technological sophistication. He controls these AI systems primarily through voice recognition, where language serves as the medium of command and control. Through verbal instructions, he exercised linguistic authority to operate his AI assistants, most notably Jarvis, Friday, and Veronica. This research explores the principle of language control in human-to-AI interaction, as portrayed in the MCU. It specifically investigates the categories of language control, such as deletions, substitutions, and reordering, based on Orwellian Linguistics as formulated by Hodge and Fowler (1979). Drawing parallels between Orwellian Linguistics and human-to-AI interaction, this research adopted a descriptive qualitative design, employing Spradley’s (2016) analytical framework. The findings revealed that deletions, substitutions, and reordering were applied by the speaker (Iron Man) as mechanism of control over the AI assistants. This suggests that the dynamics of language and control are not limited to human-to-AI interactions but may also extend to human-to-human communication in a persuasive or authoritative contexts. Further research could expand this investigation through comparative analyses of human-AI interaction across various film productions.

Abstract

This research aims to identify common impoliteness strategies employed by Facebook users in their comments on religious-driven sermons against the LGBTQ+ community. The researchers gathered 50 impolite comments and analyzed based on the Impoliteness theory by Jonathan Culpeper (1996). The data were gathered from Facebook comments and underwent descriptive qualitative analysis wherein each comment is given a description and analyzed as to how they are being used and interpreted. In terms of impoliteness triggers, it involved the following: insults, pointed criticism, unpalatable questions, dismissals, silencers, threats, context-driven impoliteness, and convention-driven impoliteness. Meanwhile, in terms of the impoliteness strategies used, it involved the following: bald-on record impoliteness, negative impoliteness, positive impoliteness, and sarcasm or mock impoliteness while withhold impoliteness. The analysis revealed that impoliteness strategies or utterances in the religious context are the terms that are used to destroy the image, criticize, and express strong disagreement with the addressee. The findings suggest that Facebook users have to be aware of their words to foster respect in online contexts.

Abstract

Audiovisual translation is a significant element of media consumption worldwide, particularly for non-native speakers. Subtitling is predominant in audiovisual translation across the Arab region; however, there are only a few training schools and universities that can adequately prepare subtitlers for entry into the industry. The present study seeks to identify a major difficulty Arabic-speaking subtitlers encounter when translating effective simile phrases from colloquial Arabic to English. The study examines the strategies pursued by ten MA candidates in the MA in Audiovisual Translation at Sana’a University in their handling of Arabic effective similes during subtitling exercises. The study found that four primary strategies are pursued by MA candidates: converting an effective simile into sense, reproducing a similar image in the target language, substituting the source-language image with a conventional target-language image, and pursuing a literal translation. The study identifies a greater need for enhanced pedagogy and subtitling training in the Arab region to address such challenges and improve subtitling quality. The researcher recommends increased exposure to audiovisual materials with complex simile phrases during training, as well as encouraging students to study and read pertinent works on the subject to become professional subtitlers with a solid academic foundation

Abstract

The animated film Luca (2021) contains many social messages related to how society views the role and identity of men. This study aims to analyze how forms of masculinity are represented in the film, particularly in relation to the concept of hegemonic masculinity. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a visual content analysis approach to key scenes in the film. Each scene analyzed was selected based on important moments that reveal the dynamics of male characters, whether through emotional expressions, inter character relationships, reactions to social pressure. The analysis results show that Luca presents a variety of masculinities, ranging from dominant and competitive to more emotionally open and accepting. The character Ercole, example, exemplifies aggressive and exclusive hegemonic masculinity, while Luca and Alberto demonstrate alternative forms of masculinity that are more reflective and emotional. The film also depicts the transformation of the main character from a fearful attitude to an individual who dares to express his identity, including in the context of friendship and future choices. This transformation reflects the potential for boys to move beyond traditional masculine expectations and explore more personal versions of themselves. The conclusion of this study affirms that masculinity in the film Luca is not presented in a singular manner but is diverse and open to interpretation as a critique of rigid gender norms. This study does not aim to generalize all forms of masculinity in animated films but only discusses the representations found in Luca based on the author's subjective analysis and interpretation.

Abstract

Stigma is a powerful social and psychological force that shapes how individuals perceive themselves and are perceived by others. While previous studies have frequently explored stigma in realistic or clinical settings, limited attention has been given to how it operates within symbolic or fantastical narratives. This study addresses that gap by examining how stigma influences Elphaba’s self-concept and personality in the film Wicked (2024). The analysis highlights the urgency of exploring cinematic representations of stigma through psychological frameworks, as films often reflect and reshape public understanding of difference and identity. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this research interprets selected scenes and dialogues that depict Elphaba’s experiences of exclusion, conditional acceptance, and identity reconstruction. The study applies the concepts of stigma and self-concept to reveal how social labeling and internalized judgment create incongruence between the self-image and the ideal self, ultimately shaping Elphaba’s moral and emotional development. The findings show that her transformation from self-doubt to self-acceptance represents the psychological negotiation between individuality and social conformity. By connecting personality theory and film analysis, this study expands the discussion of how fictional narratives can illuminate the psychological dynamics of marginalization and resilience, offering new insight into the intersection of stigma, identity, and self-concept in contemporary media.

Abstract

Social capital, a key concept within cultural studies, is particularly significant in the digital age, where community is often built through mediated interactions. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of American pop star Taylor Swift’s strategies for maintaining her relationship with her fan base, the “Swifties,” through the theoretical lenses of Pierre Bourdieu’s and Robert Putnam’s social capital frameworks. While much scholarship has focused on Swift’s lyrical content or economic impact, this research addresses a critical gap by focusing on Swift’s interactions with her fans and how these interactions contribute to building and maintaining social capital. Adopting a qualitative content analysis methodology, the study conducts a close reading of social media resources. The findings identify three primary strategies: the narrative songwriting in her albums that fosters deep personal connection; her curated social media presence, which cultivates a sense of intimacy and direct access; and the large-scale, communal experience of the recently concluded “The Eras Tour.” The analysis reveals a strong alignment between these activities and the core principles of social networks (Bourdieu), as well as trust and reciprocity (Putnam). This research concludes that Swift’s enduring success is fundamentally linked to her ability to strategically nurture social capital, offering a valuable model for understanding celebrity-fan dynamics and community-building in contemporary culture.
