Abstract

This study analyze the portrayal of the mothers who kill the children as folk devil. The theory of folk devil by Stanley Cohen and Erving Goffman’s theories on framing are used to determine the deviant images of the mothers that are created by the news using various means of framing. The mothers who kill the children in the news were depicted as having inhuman characters, having psychological problems, and having a weak nature for dealing with external problems, thus, they are portrayed as folk devils. This portrayal is based on the use of various kinds of elements of construction, such as choice of words, contradiction, perspective, comparison, symbolism, stereotype, exaggeration, highlighted and unhighlighted parts in the news, and assumption as means to frame the killer mother as folk devils. News can be fictionalized for certain purposes. There are many articles used to define mothers as having the quality of deviant characters. Therefore, many news stories in Indonesia are still subjective and biased toward women.

Abstract

This creative thesis is made to solve the problem that Kedai Kopi Nadi has namely low brand awareness. This cafe has been around for more than a year, but few people know about it. In fact, Kedai Kopi Nadi’s ambiance and price of the products can beat other cafes such as Montana, Zona Nyaman, and Kopi Nusantara. Unfortunately, the only social media they have, namely Instagram, is not used properly so it becomes ineffective for marketing. With a target market of university students ranging from 18 to 25 years old, showing off Kedai Kopi Nadi’s USP on Instagram is effective to attract them. Kedai Kopi Nadi has several USPs that can be highlighted on the Instagram content. Its strengths are the product price, the ambiance or atmosphere of the cafe, and the product menu. Not only that, the writer collected answers from Kedai Kopi Nadi’s customers and target market to create content that was suitable for Kedai Kopi Nadi. The writer got more information on what to highlight in the content by doing it. By making the Instagram content, the writer aims to introduce the brand widely to the audience and to increase Kedai Kopi Nadi’s brand awareness.

Unconventional characters have always piqued people’s interests, and that includes characters in anime. Mother is a role that is so familiar in the society, with certain characteristics expected of them. Certain mothers in anime acts differently than what is usually expected of them as mothers. This study is conducted to analyse the portrayal of the three antagonists in Japanese anime series One Piece, The Promised Neverland, and Diabolik Lovers respectively: Charlotte Linlin, Isabella, and Sakamaki Cordelia that can be considered unmotherly. The study is done using theories regarding good and bad mothers provided by A. E. Kaplan (1992), Huppartz and Goodwin (n.d.), and H. L. Hadley (2018). The analysis shows how the three mothers deviated from their role as a nurturing mother, showing actions that proved the three mothers to be destructive towards their children. The writer concludes that the three mothers show how mothers are people capable of emotions other than gentleness and care, they are capable of malice and hate, calculating and cruel as well be it biological mothers or foster mothers.

Abstract

Anime originate from Japan and has been deeply rooted as a culture since the 1990s (JW-Magazine, 2021). Ascendance of a Bookworm is one of an isekai anime, a fantasy sub-genre which is booming right now. In this anime series, Myne had grown in a poor family who had no right to speak and had no education. Despite the condition however, Myne is confident and forthright, as most young women in her previous world tended to be more open and vocal in expressing their emotions. To analyze this anime, I will use girl power from two different sources; Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, and Emilie Zaslow. My analysis will show that Myne has girl power characteristics in her and how her girl power affects other people around her. This thesis will end with a conclusion that the characteristics can be found everywhere and the effects it has, whether positive or negative.

Abstract

A pop idol group in Japan, AKB48, has female members capable of attracting the opposite sex into their fans. In this study, I will analyze the depictions of women portrayed in AKB48’s five summer music videos. To reach the objective of my analysis, I will use the theory of male gaze, specifically on the way the members are depicted in the videos. From my analysis, I discovered that through the perspective of male gaze, the idols are depicted as alluring, seductive, and playful. It can be assumed that the portrayal might be a strategy used to hoist their popularity over the other girl groups in Japan. Therefore, the sexualized depiction of the idols is actually proven to be successful in making the group popular.
