Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of oppression experienced by Firdaus in the novel Woman at Point Zero through the lens of Gayatri C. Spivak’s postcolonial feminist approach. The novel represents the experiences of women living in an oppressive patriarchal and feudal society. Firdaus, the main character, is confronted with various harsh realities as a woman who lacks power, voice, and control over her own body. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, aiming to understand social phenomena related to women’s experiences. Data collection was conducted using the reading and note-taking method, which involved analyzing the novel's text and recording relevant quotations. The data source used is the Indonesian translation of Woman at Point Zero (Perempuan di Titik Nol) by Nawal El Saadawi, translated by Amir Sutaarga in 2002. The data consists of narratives describing characters, dialogues, and events that illustrate the forms of oppression experienced by Firdaus. These forms of oppression include physical and sexual violence, economic inequality, and the silencing of her voice. In the face of such marginalization, Firdaus resists in various ways—by remaining silent, rejecting imposed norms, reclaiming control over her body, and ultimately taking the extreme step of killing her pimp. The death sentence she receives is not an act of despair, but a final form of resistance over her body and the choices she makes as a subaltern woman

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation techniques and overall quality of the Indonesian subtitles in the film Purple Hearts, with the novel of the same title serving as a secondary source. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using documentation as the data collection technique. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawaing with verification. Out of 125 identified subtitle segments, modulation was the most frequently applied technique (32%), followed by adaptation (17,6%), and literal translation (12%), while reduction was the least used (1,6%). The assessment of translation quality, based on Nababan dkk. (2015), shows that the subtitles are generally of good quality, with 72% accuracy, 76% acceptability, and 68% readability. Overall, the subtitles are considered accurate and natural, though some inconsistencies slightly affect the overall quality. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of audiovisual translation studies and serve as a practical reference for improving subtitle translation quality in Indonesia

Abstract

This study discusses the meaning relations of synonymous pairs of Indonesian time adjectives using synonymy theory in the realm of lexical semantics. The meaning relations between synonymous words are not absolute. In certain contexts, synonymous words can be used interchangeably, but in other contexts they cannot be used interchangeably. Therefore, this study attempts to identify the distribution of patterns of use of synonymous pairs of time adjectives and what aspects differentiate the meanings of words in synonymous pairs of time adjectives. The purpose of this study is to prove the existence of differences in meaning between synonymous pairs. Data in this study were obtained from newspapers, e-books of short stories, dictionaries, and based on the researcher's linguistic intuition. This study applies a descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach. The data collection method in this study uses the listening method with the reading and note-taking technique. Data analysis uses Simak method with the direct element sharing technique and the substitution technique. The results show that word pairs have different distributions and in certain contexts their use cannot be interchanged. This is possible because there are differences in meaning caused by differences in implications, applications, one meaning being more general than the other, taste values and differences in the variety of usage

Abstract

Feminism is a form of activity that requires balance or justice, as well as rights for women. Social inequality in terms of gender remains a topic of discussion to this day, South Korea is one of them. The purpose of this study is to understand feminism at the level of representation, reality, and ideology of Blackpink's video entitled How You Like That. How You Like That carries the theme of women's freedom, strength, and opposing those who look down on women. Although the theme of the Blackpink video does not explicitly address the issue of feminism, to identify the representation of feminist ideology in this video clip, the study uses John Fiske's semiotic analysis approach, The Codes of Television theory, and the method of observing, noting, and screenshots. The results of the study indicate three levels according to John Fiske's semiotics, namely reality, representation, and ideology. Furthermore, the level of representation shows women's freedom, self-existence, and self-confidence. Meanwhile, the ideology of the How You Like That video clip contains a form of feminism, especially post-modernism. This study shows that the symbols and signs contained in the video clip represent the ideology of post-modern feminism that creates a new, meaningful message, and provides positive energy to women to be able to fight discrimination. This research has succeeded in revealing the form of representation of Blackpink's feminist ideology in their video clip entitled How You Like That

Abstract

This study analyzes affective meaning in the comment sections of Indonesian TikTok news accounts using Leech's (1981) semantic theory and Ekman's (1992) framework of six basic emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, surprise, and fear. The research aims to identify how TikTok users express emotions and attitudes toward news content through linguistic choices and emoji usage. A qualitative content analysis approach was employed, wherein twenty-five comments were collected through purposive sampling from five official news accounts: Inilah.com, Kumparan, Kompas TV, CNN Indonesia, and Detik.com. Data collection occurred between June and November 2025, focusing on videos with a minimum of ten million views. From each account, five of the most-liked comments were selected for semantic analysis. Both researchers independently analyzed the comments and compared interpretations to ensure reliability. The findings show that anger appeared most frequently (7 instances), followed by fear (6), sadness (4), disgust (4), happiness (2), and surprise (2). These results indicate that emotional responses on TikTok are often dominated by negative or serious feelings, reflecting users' sensitivity toward issues such as injustice, danger, and tragedy. Overall, the study concludes that affective meaning in TikTok comment sections not only represents individual emotions but also reflects collective empathy and cultural values within Indonesian digital discourse.
