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.
