Abstract

Literary texts often serve as spaces for ideological articulation conveyed through language and symbols. In the context of Indonesian literature, the novel Perempuan yang Menangis kepada Bulan Hitam, written by Dian Purnomo, presents a powerful narrative addressing gender inequality and the persistence of patriarchal culture. This qualitative library study aimed to analyze the symbolic and metaphorical expressions in the novel using Michael Riffaterre’s semiotic theory. Through heuristic and hermeneutic reading stages, along with hypogram tracing, this study reveals how the novel implicitly yet sharply voices resistance against patriarchal domination. The analysis results indicate that symbols such as ‘red pool’, ‘curse’, and ‘ancestral sin’ as well as metaphors like ‘tiger’s cage’ and ‘the price of freedom’, function not merely as aesthetic ornaments but as ideological devices exposing systemic violence, social taboos, and cultural repression of women. The semiotic reading demonstrates that the novel’s symbols and metaphors construct a narrative of resistance that disrupts the dominant cultural hypogram. Thus, literature can serve as a medium for critical awareness and as a means of conveying socio-political critiques against gender-based injustice.

Abstract

This research aimed at finding out the sequential structure of the interactions between sellers and buyers at the traditional market of Biboki Anleu. It employed conversation analysis (CA) to identify the interaction patterns-such as openings, adjacency pairs, insertions, extensions, and closings that reflect the social dynamics of market transaction-and ethnography of communication to understand the sociocultural context, norms, and language practices of the local community that frame their everyday communicative behaviors. The data collection was conducted through participatory observation, audiovisual recordings, and conversation transcription. The findings show that the conversation structure not only regulates the flow of communication but also conveys local cultural values such as politeness, solidarity, and communal economy. Unique expressions like owwww… are used as subtle and multimodal negotiation strategies. This study also highlights the differences of conversational structure from other traditional markets, such as those in Mexico and Manado by identifying both common patterns in buying and selling conversations and distinctive local features of the border community. Theoretically, this research expands the application of CA and ethnography of communication in local activities and enriches the understanding of interactional sociolinguistics. Culturally and linguistically, traditional markets are proven to be social spaces that shape, sustain, and transmit community identities and values through verbal and non-verbal interaction.

Abstract

The representation of women’s identities in the media has undergone significant shifts amidst the dynamics of contemporary popular culture. The film Barbie (2023) presents a narrative that not only showcases symbols of femininity but also offers a reflective journey of a character questioning the meaning of her existence. This research aims to analyze the process of transformative thinking in Barbie’s character, based on Mezirow’s (1994) transformative thinking theory, as well as to examine the visual signs and symbols in the film through the semiotic approach of Barthes (1968). the data were collected through visual observation, transcription of reflective scenes, and documentation of narrative symbols. The data were then analyzed using a content analysis method. The results show that the character Barbie undergoes stages of transformative thinking from disorienting dilemma to transformation of perspective which are represented through the changes in body language, critical dialogue, and visual symbols, such as costumes and colours. This process not only reflects Barbie’s personal journey from doll to human but also voices a critique of gender social construct symbols, such as high heels, the colour pink, and Barbie’s interactions with other characters. These all emphasize the shift from the representation of women as passive to active and reflective subjects. Thus, the Barbie movie offers a new space for interpreting women’s identities and demonstrates the potential of popular media as a means of critical and transformative reflection.
