Abstract

Islamophobia has been a common issue in today’s discourse. It is a negative attitude towards Islam that possibly leads to discrimination or other violent actions against Muslims based on a feeling of hatred, fear, or superiority over Muslims as a minority group. Islamophobia is not only able to be found in real life but also is occasionally represented through fictional works, especially a novel. This study aims to describe how Islamophobia is portrayed in S. K. Ali’s Love from A to Z using the concept of Islamophobia as cultural racism and to reveal how Zayneb, as the victim of Islamophobia, responds to Islamophobia using a minority identity development model by Atkinson et al. Islamophobia as a form of cultural racism is portrayed by presenting Muslim attire issue, anti-Arab issue, and disdaining value of Islam. In response to Islamophobia, Zayneb develops stages of minority identity by self-deprecating, becoming aware and upset about Islamophobia, standing up, and involving in a movement to fight back against Islamophobia. Keywords: cultural racism, Islamophobia, minority, Muslims

Abstract

Disney movie Moana has broadly analyzed in many journals portrayed through lenses of ecological study, but none of them take more focus on the process of reconciliation with nature yet. The movie brings up the issue of nature exploitation caused by human greed that does not think of the adverse impacts. This paper is a part of a film study that analyzes the process of reconciliation with nature using an ecocritical perspective to examine the nature exploitation and the process of reconciling the balance of nature in Moana. The study reveals that nature exploitation is portrayed when Maui steals the stone from Te Fiti that contains a super power that can create life, which creates the scarcity of natural resources on each island. Furthermore, the study shows that Moana is on the ecocentric side and shows ecocentric attitudes toward related environmental issues. The results of this study reveal that Moana not only cared about nature but also valued them as entities with a life force. She leads the reconciliation process to restore the balance with nature.

Abstract

The term postcolonial consists of 'post', which means after and 'colonial', which means colonialism. It can be concluded that postcolonial was the period after colonialism. Homi K. Bhabha was an outstanding figure in postcolonial studies. He was the main figure in postcolonial studies and was vigorously influenced by Western poststructuralist theory. One of the films that contain postcolonial is My Name is Khan by Karan Johar, about the discrimination shown by America's treatment of Muslims. From the context of the film, it can be seen that the more dominant concept of postcolonial by Homi K. Bhabha is mimicry. Mimicry refers to a situation where the colonized people try to imitate the colonizer, and the imitation is never the same. Different imitations become ridicule for the colonizers, and this mockery is actually the colonized people's way of fighting back. The purpose of this study is to find out how does mimicry depicted in My Name is Khan and how mimicry is the resistance or not in My Name is Khan. This study uses a qualitative method by applying a theory of post-colonialism by Homi K. Bhabha, which is manifested by the data in the film. The primary data obtained in this study were taken from the film My Name is Khan in the form of dialogues, scripts, and scenes. In addition, secondary data such as articles, e-journals, e-books, and other online sources are used to support this study. The results show that the postcolonial concept of Homi K Bhabha, which is more dominant in My Name is Khan, is mimicry.
