Abstract

This research aims to analyze how Kathryn Stockett's The Help represents systemic racism and author's critical position towards the racial injustice issue within the novel. This research applies two theories: the representation by Stuart Hall and the theory of systemic racism by Joe. R. Feagin. This research applies a qualitative method with a narrative text analysis approach. The results of this study show that systemic racism plays a role in the level of labor exploitation, economic discrimination, social inequality, and oppressive social norms. Thus, the author's position also shows an effort to criticize the unjust system. However, she notes there are still some limitations since white characters are still central to hold primary control. This study concludes that literary works can function as a medium to voice social criticism of racism, while reflecting the complexity of the author's position in shaping representations of racial injustice.

Abstract

The declining birth rate in South Korea has become a crucial issue affecting the country’s demographic balance since the early 2000s. This study analyzes the failure of birth rate policies during President Moon Jae In’s administration using Ted Hopf’s constructivism approach, which emphasizes the role of identity, norms, and social constructions in shaping public policies. the result show that despite the implementation of policies such as financial assistance and the recognition of non-traditional families, their effectiveness remains limited. the dominance of social norms emphasizing the importance of marriage before having children, along with changing social values that encourage younger generations to delay marriage, are key factors hindering policy success. therefore, more responsive policies that adapt to social dan cultural shifts are needed to address the declining birth rate more effectively.  This study contributes to understanding the relationship between social norms, cultural identity, and social constructions in public policy formulation in South Korea. it also provides insights for policymakers in addressing demographic challenges in the future.

Abstract

This study explores the concept of Hifz an-Nafs (protection of life) in Islamic law and its relevance to the legal protection of children who are victims of sexual violence in Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research compares Islamic legal norms with national legal frameworks, especially Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection and Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes. The findings indicate that although Hifz an-Nafs offers a holistic and moral-spiritual foundation for protecting the dignity and safety of children, its application in practice remains largely symbolic. In contrast, the implementation of national law, while structurally adequate, still suffers from exclusivity and access inequality. The study also identifies how social and ideological boundaries—such as religious conservatism, family honor, and community stigma—hinder victims’ access to justice and reinforce protection for perpetrators. These boundaries contribute to the fragmentation of communal protection mechanisms, weakening both legal enforcement and moral solidarity. This research emphasizes the need for an integrative model that combines Islamic ethical principles with the inclusiveness of modern legal systems to achieve effective and compassionate protection for children.

Abstract

This article examines how Entrok, a novel by Okky Madasari, portrays the oppressive realities of polygamy and patriarchal domination within Indonesia’s socio-political landscape, especially during the New Order regime. Using feminist literary criticism as the main theoretical framework, supported by a Marxist view on economic power, this study explores how literature critically reflects women’s lived experiences under systemic gender inequality. While previous studies have discussed gender bias and resistance in Entrok, few have examined polygamy as a tool of patriarchy or analysed how resistance strategies vary across women’s social and educational positions. The analysis reveals a clear contrast in how female characters respond to polygamy and patriarchal structures. Yu Yem, Yu Parti, Endang Sulastri, and Marni, who represent uneducated women, not only reject and do not tolerate polygamy but also actively resist it by building economic independence, thus asserting their agency and autonomy. Their refusal becomes a form of open defiance against patriarchal expectations. Conversely, Rahayu, an educated woman, accepts her position as a second wife under religious justification, internalising patriarchal norms despite experiencing profound psychological distress. These representations demonstrate how both class and ideology influence women's capacity and methods of resistance to gendered oppression. Framing Entrok within broader feminist and socio-political discourse, this study affirms the novel’s role as a critique of patriarchal injustice. It underscores how fiction can challenge ideological violence and support Sustainable Development Goal 5 on Gender Equality by imagining alternative possibilities for empowerment and resistance.
