Abstract

This research aims to analyze the form of emotional expression found in Victoria Chang’s poem collection With My Back to The World and to understand how Chang incorporates art of emotional catharsis. Using Aristotle’s theory of catharsis and Freud’s psychoanalytic approach, the research highlights how deep emotional experiences such as loss, alienation, trauma, and sorrow are transformed into creative expression. Chang’s poems are filled with visual imagery and metaphors that reflect inner conflict and silence, as seen in lines like “I painted silence” and “I turned my back to the world”. The research applies a qualitative descriptive that demonstrates Chang’s work conveys personal pain and creates a reflective space for readers. Her creative process illustrates how art can serve as a means to express emotions that are difficult to articulate verbally, while also offering psychological healing for both the poet and the audience. Therefore, Chang’s poetry can be understood as a medium through which traumatic experiences are processed and reimagined, positioning art as a powerful tool in the journey of emotional recovery.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the spiritual crisis faced by Ken Carpenter, the main character in Man from Nebraska, as a reflection of the confusion and loss of meaning experienced by many people in the postmodern era. This study used a qualitative descriptive method and applies existentialism and postmodernism theories. The study shows how Ken’s crisis begins with inauthenticity and grows into an existential crisis that forces him to question his faith and identity. Through self-awareness and freedom, he learns to take responsibility, accepts life limits, and finally reaches authenticity, where he embraces himself and finds new meaning in life.This change represents a personal and spiritual transformation. Man from Nebraska gives a picture of how modern people struggle to find meaning in a world where old beliefs no longer feel certain, while also showing how literature can reflect real life spiritual problems in today’s society.

Abstract

The research aims to analyse internal and external conflicts along with their causes and impacts in the film Triangle of Sadness (2022), written by Ruben Ostlund. The analysis is conducted using the conflict theory developed by Kenney (1966). The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with the primary data source being the film script consisting of 98 pages. In addition, the study is supported by various relevant literature, journals, and articles. The data collection was carried out through repeated readings, note-taking of dialogues, and focused analysis based on the categories of internal conflict (man vs. self) and external conflict (man vs. man, man vs. society, man vs. nature) in accordance with the applied theory. The results indicated 15 instances of internal conflict, generally depicting the characters’ inner struggles, such as threats to self-esteem, jealousy, perceived gender role injustice, and emotional dilemmas. There were 10 instances of external conflict were identified, predominantly involving disputes between characters, particularly related to power struggles, differences in social status, and clashes of interest. The impacts of these conflicts include relationship breakdowns, social tension, decreased trust, and mental as well as emotional strain. The main causes of conflict include gender role inequality, socio-economic disparities, shifts in power dynamics, and pressures from social norms. The study reveals that Triangle of Sadness not only critiques social injustice and gender roles but also highlights how power and status can change rapidly in difficult situations, thereby influencing the characters’ identities, values, and actions.

Abstract

The research employed Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis and Kuravati & Malipati theory, and Ang & Lockwood’s classification of apathy to analyse the apathetic behaviour of the main character in Jersey Girl (2004) by Kevin Smith. The purpose of the study is to determine the types of apathetic behaviour, their causal factors, and their effects on the main character’s interactions. The research is descriptive qualitative, and the data source is the script of the 2004 film Jersey Girl. The findings reveal that three categories of apathetic behaviour: eight data of social apathy, three data of behavioural apathy, and two data of emotional apathy. Profound grief due to job loss and the death of a spouse were identified as the main cause of apathy. Based on Freud’s psychoanalytical analysis, two personality components influence apathy behaviour: the ego (12 data) and the id (1 data), the ego being the most dominant. Apathetic behaviour affects the main character in several ways, including decreased social interest, reduced motivation, difficulty in building new relationships, and loss of emotional control. It was expected that the study in which, particularly character analysis is appropriate through psychoanalytic approach.
