Abstract

BRICS has broadened its agenda beyond finance to cultivate soft power through coordinated cultural diplomacy. Examining official statements, press releases, and scholarly commentary on the bloc’s flagship film, sports, and ministerial initiatives, this article shows that cooperation is advancing from one-off spectacles toward structured, recurring institutions. Findings indicate two simultaneous dynamics: outwardly, BRICS venues amplify Global-South perspectives that diversify international cultural flows; inwardly, member states use the same platforms to signal national prestige, revealing persistent status competition. The result is an early but uneven cultural architecture—one that counters Euro-Atlantic narrative dominance yet has not crystallized into a fully coherent BRICS identity. The study argues that success will hinge on tighter media coordination and concrete, mutually beneficial projects capable of deepening collective resonance while balancing internal hierarchies.

Abstract

Franz Kafka is known for his twisted literature filled with dark atmosphere and word choices, however when it comes to writing letters to his muse, Milena, he uses words unknown to him. He expresses his barest soul to her using word choices that indicate someone who is amazed. For a person like Kafka, love is not all about complementing word choices and emotions, seen by his internal battles with himself and uncertainty regarding the topic of love. This research will use Geoffrey Leech’s semantic framework along with Monica Schwarz and Jeannette Chur’s Wortfeld theory. The study aims to examine Kafka’s use of intricate words to convey his love. The findings reveal that Kafka’s chosen word choices reflect how he views love and his unlucky experience of love. His word choices can be categorized into contrasting emotions and how his understanding of love is both a dream and a nightmare.

Abstract

Child bullying cases increased significantly following the pandemic and took its toll on the need for emergency tackling and preventive action. This research focused on philosophy as a an approach to character building, using the synthesis method of literature views which also inspired from previous teachings known as Philosophy for Children (P4C), combined with hands-on experiment simulation. The aim is to discover a practical learning concept to enable philosophy to be introduced in children's classrooms at a certain age. Researchers found the intersection between philosophy and child character building beneficial in refining their empathy cognitively and creating better generations in avoidance of abusive behavior as part of their day-to-day education. In the discussion, philosophy was introduced choosing the ideas of Jacques Derrida which are considered relevant. Reflective to his childhood, in which Derrida had experienced discrimination, the experience evolved in his breakthrough ideas of hermeneutics, using the deconstruction technique. The simulation experiment study shall revolve around Derrida’s Trace Theory and Différance, both a refreshing concept as learning materials. The result is a recommendation that philosophy worth being considered as an instrument of learning activity in Indonesia’s classroom, using simulation method that can invoke further curiosity in children’s critical thinking and character education.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of national identity as embodied by the Syuhada Mosque, located in Kotabaru, Yogyakarta. Completed in 1952, the mosque was established as a monument to the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. This research addresses whether Syuhada Mosque genuinely represents national identity. The study aims to describe the architectural form of Syuhada Mosque and elucidate the representations of national identity embedded within its structure. The research methodology aligns with the framework proposed by Sharer and Ashmore, encompassing formulation, implementation, data collection, data processing, analysis, interpretation, and publication. Based on its historical background, the foundational ideas and concepts of its founders, and its contextual relationship with the surrounding environment, Syuhada Mosque primarily functions as a mosque that symbolizes Indonesian independence and unity. Furthermore, the Syuhada Mosque inherently embodies Islamic and traditional values typical of a mosque while demonstrating an adaptive integration with its surrounding architectural landscape.

Abstract

This study investigates the plural meaning and expression of countable nouns in Chinese and Indonesian from morphological and syntactic perspectives and explores implications for language pedagogy. Although both languages encode plurality, they employ distinct mechanisms, which may pose challenges for Indonesian learners of Chinese. Using a qualitative, literature-based approach, data were drawn from scholarly studies, Chinese teaching materials, and reference sources such as dictionaries. Analysis focused on morphological markers, including affixation and reduplication, as well as syntactic structures, such as numeral–classifier phrases and quantifiers constructions. The findings show that Chinese expresses plurality through the suffix –men, classifier-based syntactic patterns, and quantifiers, whereas Indonesian primarily relies on reduplication, including noun and adjective reduplication, mechanisms that are limited or absent in Chinese. Indonesian can also employ quantifiers such as beberapa ‘some/several’ and classifier-based syntactic patterns, which partly overlap with Chinese strategies. These results highlight structural contrasts between the two languages and provide practical insights for teaching, and dictionary explanations aimed at Indonesian learners of Chinese.

Abstract

This study examines the deconstruction of female gender stereotypes through the character Yuna in the game Ghost of Tsushima. The analysis employs a qualitative approach that explores narrative, visual, and gameplay aspects. The theoretical framework draws on Judith Butler’s gender performativity, Marie-Laure Ryan’s digital narrative theory, and Stuart Hall’s representation theory to identify forms of resistance to traditional gender norms reflected in the game industry. The findings indicate that Yuna emerges as an active agent who influences the protagonist’s ideological development, plays a significant role in shaping the overall narrative direction, and avoids visual objectification. This study is expected to contribute to gender studies in interactive media and highlight the potential of video games as a medium capable of presenting more inclusive and progressive representations of women in popular culture.

Abstract

This study explores the representation and construction of gender identity and motherhood of transgender women within the Philippine society, focusing on Jun R. Lana’s 2016 film, Die Beautiful. Recognizing the increasing visibility of the queer community in media and social discourse, the research aims to analyze how the film reflects and challenges the binary construction of gender and societal gender norms using the theory of gender performativity by Judith Butler from her book Gender Trouble. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, specifically the conventional method, selected scenes were examined to identify instances of gender performance and explore how social expectations influence gender identity and expression. The findings suggest that Die Beautiful strongly exemplifies gender as performative, highlighting that identity is constructed through repeated actions and social influences rather than innate traits. The film’s nuanced portrayal of transgender individuals’ struggles and self-expression contributes to a small theoretical framework that affirms gender performativity as a means to challenge binary notions and promote inclusivity within the Philippine culture.
REINTERPRETING THE KUTIKA MANUSCRIPT: A BUGINESE ETHNOECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE Widyaningrum, Rahmatia Ayu; Limbong, Priscila Fitriasih; Pudjiastuti, Titik; Buduroh, Mamlahatun -, -

Abstract

This article offers a reinterpretation of the Kutika manuscript from a Buginese ethnoecological perspective. Departing from a philological study of the Lontara’ Kutika text in the National Library of Indonesia (PNRI) collection (code VT 129), this research examines how Buginese communities articulate their interaction with nature through this manuscript. The Kutika text has generally been understood merely as a book of time calculation, yet its background is imbued with philosophical values that show how the Buginese talk to nature, read signs, and treat nature as an equal element rather than a mere object. Using the framework of human ecology, this study describes the ethnoecological concepts embedded in the Kutika text. Philosophically, human ecology is built upon an ontological view that does not separate humans from their environment. Humans see themselves as an integral part of an ecosystem, a living space with functional relationships between social and biophysical systems that cannot be separated. This view is in line with Buginese beliefs that every natural element has a spirit and exerts influence on human life. The research specifically aims to interpret the maritime traditions contained in the Kutika text from a human ecological perspective. More broadly, it contributes to scholarship by introducing local knowledge of the Bugis community, derived from centuries of observation and reflection, which remains applicable to contemporary discussions of human–environment relations.

Abstract

Stand-up comedy can challenge dominant discourses and dismantle stereotypes. This research focuses on an Indonesian female stand-up comedian, Sakdiyah Ma’ruf. Using textual analysis, the study investigates recorded performances available on YouTube between 2014 and 2025. Sakdiyah addresses critical social issues, including religious fundamentalism, terrorism, sexism, and gender-based violence. The study explores how she constructs her comedic persona through narratives of personal identity and social critique, and how she employs humor to negotiate sensitive topics while remaining acceptable to diverse audiences. Findings reveal that her themes remain consistent across performances, while her humor strategies, including structured narratives, deliberate word choices, and subtle satire, allow her to transform critique into accessible and empowering comedy. Furthermore, her adaptation to various platforms, ranging from digital media to mainstream television, underscores the multidimensional nature of her comedy and her ability to challenge social norms.

Abstract

Despite the increasing trend of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in higher education in Indonesia, studies focusing on professional development for EMI lecturers remains scarce. Given the pivotal role lecturers have in the success of EMI programs, it is essential that these lecturers are provided with the necessary training and support to effectively deliver their courses in English and make well-informed pedagogical choices. This paper aims to investigate necessary sets of skills and competences required by EMI lecturers and rationales for incorporating them in EMI teacher training programs. This study employed a qualitative approach. It involved a critical review of studies to examine EMI professional development programs in various countries. The findings suggest that EMI lecturers should have various competences that include but are not limited to linguistic competence and pedagogical competence due to the complex nature of EMI programs. Suggestions to select and incorporate them in lecturer training programs are also provided in this paper.
