Abstract

Saffron Dreams, written by Shaila Abdullah, is an intriguing work of fiction that tells the story of the harsh life of a Muslim woman from the East in America after the 9/11 tragedy. The double standards applied by America are not only limited to views of Muslims but extend to Eastern cultures as a whole. It is here that the Western perspective of the East, known as Orientalism, is portrayed as though the West is superior to the East. This study examines how American Orientalism and Postcolonialism influence and shape the identity dynamics of Arissa Illahi. This research employs a descriptive and qualitative method, using Edward Said's theory of Orientalism. The findings show that Arissa experiences various dynamics related to her identity, which is based on Islamic-Pakistani culture. Orientalism, within the context of American Postcolonialism, disturbs her identity as a Pakistani Muslim, leading to a series of crises and efforts at adaptation full of uncertainty. Arissa's character plays a crucial role as a representation of Muslim women, depicting the struggle of Eastern Muslim women fighting for their rights as human beings. Her struggle serves as a means of confronting Western Orientalist views, demonstrating solidarity with Muslim women from third-world countries living in America.

Abstract

This research discusses the impact of the 9/11 tragedy on Muslims in America, especially Arab-American Muslims. The two major characters as an Arab-American Muslim get bad behavior from the surrounding community who have already given bad prejudice against them. This is clear because the perpetrators of the 9/11 tragedy were Arab terrorists who acted in the name of Islam for their actions. This qualitative study uses it as a methodological framework to explore whether there is resistance from Muslims who receive bad treatment from society. The data and evidence that has been collected comes from the novel Once in a Promised Land, as well as from studies that intersect with the topic of this research. Edward Said's Orientalism Theory is used to reveal orientalist prejudice against Arab-Americans by engaging with Postcolonial Studies. The novel challenges orientalist prejudice by showing Islamic values through its major character. This resulted in findings which revealed that the bad prejudice about Islam caused by the 9/11 tragedy was countered by good character traits. Hence, the findings show that although the two major characters get a lot of prejudice and bad behavior from the surrounding community, this novel depicts them as opponents of oriental prejudice by showing the nature of Muslims which reflects the Islamic Values.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of code-switching and the factors that cause code-switching in the daily conversations of female students at Pondok Pesantren Nuruttauhid Bulukumba, South Sulawesi. Data were collected from the conversations of 20 female students during the 2021/2022 academic year using observation, interviews, and documentation methods. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results show the use of elements of Arabic, Indonesian, Bugis, and Konjo languages in the students' conversations. The forms of code-switching found include words, word repetition, phrases, and clauses. The factors causing code-switching include the use of Indonesian and regional languages in conversations, changes in situations from formal to informal, limitations in Arabic vocabulary mastery, and the tendency to communicate more quickly and practically. These findings contribute to sociolinguistic studies, particularly in the context of multilingual pesantren-based education.

Abstract

Shurfat al-‘Ār by Ibrahim Nasrallah delves into the psychological dynamics of the character Manar. In the novel, the main character, Manar, becomes a victim of rape committed by Yunus, the antagonist. This event leads to serious psychological consequences for Manar. This study explores the psychodynamics of Manar, including the dynamics of her id, ego, and superego, as well as her anxiety and defense mechanisms. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method, which includes describing the facts followed by an analysis of the text using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. The results show that the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego play a significant role in how Manar copes with her traumatic experience. The character of Manar also experiences the three types of anxiety conceptualized by Freud: objective anxiety, neurotic anxiety, and moral anxiety. The form of fear from a real threat is a result of objective anxiety, the inner pressure she feels represents neurotic anxiety, and the fear of committing wrongdoing related to morals, customs, and norms is a form of moral anxiety. The defense mechanisms that develop within Manar are her efforts to cope with the pressure and anxiety, including repression, regression, denial, sublimation, isolation, rationalization, and dissocia

Abstract

The limited number of Arabic-to-Indonesian children's storybooks that apply communicative translation strategies poses a challenge in developing children’s literacy rich in moral values. This article aims to analyze communicative translation strategies in the children's story Bint al-Ṣabbāgh by Kamil Kailani, emphasizing acceptability and readability for young readers. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method by classifying and analyzing data based on communicative translation strategies. Ten core data segments were selected from the source text as they represent the narrative’s main structure. Each data segment was analyzed using two to three communicative translation strategies simultaneously, including ḥaẓf (omission of non-essential elements such as prepositions “di-” and “ke-”), taqdīm wa ta’khīr (shifting the order of subjects and predicates), tabdīl (substituting words for more communicative expressions), and ziyādah (adding explanatory elements relevant to the target culture). The findings indicate that communicative strategies can produce flexible, natural translations that are easily understood by children without diminishing the moral messages of the source text. Each strategy functions to adjust structure and meaning to align with the linguistic habits of Indonesian children. This study contributes to the practice of translating children's literature, especially from Arabic texts, and supports the development of educationally rich children’s books that are culturally adaptive to the target audience.

Abstract

The novel The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf tells the story of a Muslim woman, Khadra Shamy, living in a non-Muslim country, experiencing various cultural and value clashes. Mohja Kahf, the author of the novel, portrays Khadra's journey in trying to discover her true identity as a Muslim woman. This article discusses the formation of Khadra Shamy’s identity in America. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method using Stuart Hall's theory of identity. The article also takes a feminist approach to examine the issues related to women, as the process of identity formation cannot be separated from her status as a woman. The research findings show that, in her quest to find her true identity, there are barriers to women's rights, such as negative prejudice, stereotypes, the existence of a patriarchal society, and injustice. In her search for identity, she resists through several actions, including divorce, abortion, removing her hijab, and trying photography. The process of forming her identity as both an Arab and American Muslim is influenced by various factors, including the Islamic teachings from her parents, which were strict yet did not limit women’s rights, and photography, which allowed her to capture various objects and made her realize that there are many different perspectives in society.

Abstract

Poetry has captivated people from ancient times to the modern era, sparking numerous debates, conflicts, and rivalries. This phenomenon has led to the creation of many books, anthologies, newspapers, and magazines. Countless debates have ensued, news and stories have proliferated, and numerous studies have been conducted on this subject from various perspectives and with different objectives. This research examines poetry from the standpoint of its intrinsic values. The article investigates and analyzes the wisdom of studying poetry, its virtues, and its diverse benefits. The aim of this study is to explore the implications of studying and reading poetry, as well as its merits and advantages. The method used is descriptive-historical, based on the selection of relevant events and facts, and the collection of data pertinent to the research objectives. This article begins with an introduction followed by three main sections: first, the virtues of poetry and the wisdom of studying it; second, the benefits of poetry; and third, the appreciation and rewards for poets and their work. The research findings lead to several significant conclusions: high-quality poetry possesses many virtues and benefits, both in terms of human relationships with the divine and with fellow human beings. These include the promise of paradise and receiving prayers and praise from Allah's beloved, Prophet Muhammad SAW. Poetry serves as a means of expressing gratitude to Allah, enhancing understanding of the Quran, and appreciating its eloquence. It brings joy and longing to the hearts of Muslims, inspires courage in the brave, elevates the spirit, comforts the soul, and bolsters moral fortitude. Such aspects of poetry contribute to spiritual well-being, foster acceptance and openness in social life, and serve as a source of great reward and appreciation.

Abstract

This research describes how female masculinity portrayed Megan as the main character in the Barely Lethal movie, and then shows how Megan can change her personality from female masculine to feminine. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach by applying Judith Halberstam's theory of female masculinity as the main topic of this research. The research found that the appearance, gestures, dialogue, and culture in the data analyzed related to the concept of female masculinity. The results show that Megan is revealed to follow the concept of female masculinity, which consists of butch realness, femme pretender, male mimicry, fag drag, and naturalized masculinity. Megan is not only the protagonist, the character that dominates masculinity, but she is also the strong female, the fighter, the offensive, and also has strength that shows Megan's masculinity. Interestingly, the research also found that, as time goes by, Megan tries to change her traits from masculine to feminine, which can be seen when she likes the opposite sex, makes friends with the same sex and age friends in school, and reads mean girl book, which is typical reading for teenage girls in her environment. These portrayals conclude that someone's trait can be gradually interchangeable when triggered by outside or within themselves.

Abstract

Hybridity, or the practice of blending cultures as diasporic individuals engage with locals in the country they moved to, can have a significant impact on an individual's life, such as on their relationship with their partner. This paper discusses the ways in which hybridity shapes the marriage life of the protagonist in the 2008 novel Once in a Promised Land by Laila Halaby. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach and Homi Bhabha's hybridity theories to analyze the novel's portrayal of the Jordanian married couples' conflicting pursuit of the American Dream, which gets complicated as more people get involved. The protagonist, Salwa, who has a hybrid identity that combines elements of their ancestral culture with the culture of the country in which they live, faces challenges with the hybridity of both her and her partner, Jassim, that affect their marriage. These challenges stem from the clash between Salwa's hybrid belief—the traditional Jordanian value of believing that someone can not be a complete woman until she bears a child that gets assimilated into her vision of a free-willed American woman—and Jassim's own vision of the American Dream as the traditional leading figure who gets control over their family, which does not believe that having a child is a form of freedom. During this conflict, a man named Jake comes into Salwa's life and gives her a false hope of a "free and welcoming home" in him, making her cheat on Jassim despite her own Eastern values echoing inside her mind. The novel highlights how hybridity can create tension and complexity within a marriage as Salwa and Jassim navigate their cultural differences while striving to live peacefully in their "home." The research deduced that Salwa and Jassim's clash, along with the involvement of Jake in their marriage, is due to their inability to adjust to the hybridity of their identities and also their lack of communication as a result of doing so.
