Abstract

Gender empowerment has become one of the ways to deal with gender issues in the era of discrimination and patriarchy in gender-based life. The gender empowerment movement is a global movement that promotes women's rights by making various breakthroughs. This study aims at how gender empowerment is represented, the impact of gender empowerment and its contribution to reducing discrimination in social life so that gender equality which is the main goal of gender empowerment, can be achieved. In this study, the researcher used a feminist approach in analyzing Black Widow (2021) as data, leading to literary works representing women's daily problems. The feminist view does not limit itself to analyzing the work's aesthetic value but instead considers the significance of the relationship between social and cultural contexts. The author concludes that this research helps change cultural representations of women who always look down on women in films in future films and real life, that women can do anything just like men with gender empowerment. Keywords: Discrimination, Exploitation, Gender Empowement.

This research found there are forms of efforts to deconstruct the Muslim female superhero concept in Ms. Marvel of the issue of white supremacists and immigrant Muslims, because the main character of the series takes the point of view of a Muslim woman who is a minority in America. The effort to deconstruct the concept of a Muslim female superhero is an attempt to undermine the concept of a classic superhero, which Kamala herself has succeeded in deconstructing. However, there is a dualism as in Kamala's position as a Muslim woman, she is not completely free because she is still shackled by the patriarchal cultural system. The existence of ambivalence in this deconstruction effort eventually highlights the previous concept. The aim of deconstructing this series is to rebuild Kamala Khan's Muslim superhero concept. Kamala managed to become a superhero thanks to her hard work, even though she had to face difficult tasks.

Abstract

Nature is used by humans for a variety of purposes, from exploration to exploitation. Gender issues are linearly aligned and appear to be almost identical. Within unequal power relationships that result in exploitation, women in this context are associated with nature and the environment, where they put in the effort to fight for nature's preservation. This study aims to find out how woman main character response to nature exploitation was found in Annihilation (2018) by Alex Garland. Furthermore, an analysis of two aspects of film studies was carried out, namely the cinematography and the script of the film. The Alex Garland film Annihilation (2018) was the study's data source. The process of watching, enlisting, and screenshotting was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by identifying, classifying, and interpreting. This study uses the approach and theory of Tong's (2006) ecofeminism to find out how woman main character responses are represented through two forms in films, namely natural ecofeminism and socialist ecofeminism. The results of this study show several responses made by woman main character to safeguard nature, incorporating partaking in risky expeditions and facing enormous challenges to save the environment. However, there are also acts of exploitation in films that show women like man identity that are greedy, selfish, and harm others. Keywords: ecofeminist, woman main character response, nature exploitation.
