Abstract

Patriarchy which is a social system occurs when there is gender inequality where men have more influence and power over women. The researchers analyze the types of patriarchal structures by using Sylvia Walby’s (1990) theory and the struggle of female characters against patriarchy by using Simone de Beauvoir’s (2010) theory. These theories were chosen by the researchers because there has not been a study that analyzes using the theory from Sylvia Walby and Simone De Beauvoir in “Moxie” movie. This study aims to examine the types of patriarchal practices depicted in the film “Moxie” and the researchers want to analyze the female character’s struggle against patriarchy in the film “Moxie”. The qualitative descriptive method is the method that researchers use in this study. This research produced several findings. Female characters experience some discrimination from male students and even their principals. Patriarchal culture makes male students more authority over girls. Female students experience patriarchal forms of cultural structure, sexuality, violence, and the state. Vivian as the main character struggles with her friends against the unfair system that exists in her school which prioritizes boys over girls. Through the feminist movement, Vivian created zines entitled “Moxie” in which each zine contains different patriarchal topics such as drawing stars and hearts on hands as symbols of resistance and uploaded in the media using hashtags. Furthermore, the form of protest was by inviting them to use tank tops at school due to discriminatory treatment by the school principal. They also created a campaign to support Kiera as a soccer captain in order to get a scholarship and actualize themselves by showing their abilities and talents. In addition, they try to be themselves by having differences.Keywords: “Moxie” movie, Patriarchy, Women Struggles, Discrimination.

Abstract

In communicating, speech errors sometimes can occur to anyone and under any condition however people can correct the speech error by doing self-repair in their utterance. The purpose of this study was to discover the types of self-repair in speech of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon's host and guests, along with the factors that cause them to make errors in their speeches. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data drawn from conversation transcriptions of five episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that had been uploaded on YouTube. To analyze the self-repair, researchers used a psycholinguistics approach. This study analyzed self-repair based on Levelt (1983) and Clark and Clark (1977). The results showed that there were three types of self-repair found in the conversation between the host and guests, namely, interrupting the utterance (IU) 27 times, editing terms (ET) 29 times and correction and its relation to the original utterance (COU) 21 times. The most dominant type of self-repair was editing terms. The results also showed that the factor that causes them to make errors in their speech is cognitive reason, situational anxiety and social circumstances.
