Abstract

This research aims to present the analysis of Newspeak neologism translation in George Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty Four, in terms of the types of neologism found, the translation techniques used, and the techniques’ impact to the translation quality. It is a descriptive qualitative research using total sampling, obtaining 118 data of new words and phrasal words. The data were then grouped into several types of neologism based on proposal by Newmark (1988) and analysed for its translation techniques, using proposal of translation techniques by Molina and Albir (2002). Then, data about translation quality was obtained by employing questionnaires to three raters of translation quality. Findings of this research show that of ten types of neologism proposed by Newmark (1988), seven were found to be embodied in the data collection. 17 translation techniques are employed by the translator in form of six singular translation techniques and eleven multiple translation techniques. Based on quality assessment, it was found that the average translation quality of these terms amounted to 2.37 points, a number signifying near-high translation quality. However, there are some special cases which points out the irregularities of this result and needs further reviewing and considerations.

Abstract

The rise of ‘man in makeup’ trend in online platforms has brought male makeup artists to break down the gender stereotype and discrimination in beauty industry. Here, the research focused on a male makeup artist, James Charles, on his Instagram account, who brings the concept of ‘man in makeup’ to reject the transgender label. The research examined the way James Charles presents his gender concept, ‘man in makeup’ through his cultural practices on Instagram. The research shows that James Charles has failed in following the male role norms. However, this failure cannot put James Charles to crisis of masculinity. This happens because James Charles has negotiated the male role norms with the self feminizing. Thus, the feminine notion of makeup is not contradictory with his feminized male body, gestures, and identity. At the end, this research argues that ‘man in makeup’ gender concept has been accepted by the Instagram users.

Abstract

This research analyze how a Black Mirror episode entitled Shut Up and Dance explore the idea of simulation crisis in which the main character have to struggle with as the episode represents. This study uses Jean Baudrillard’s theory of Hyperreality and Baudrillard’s semiotic approach to scrutinize how in the episode signs and symbols dictate how an individual is treated by society  by means of their behaviors and purpose. The result shows that in Shut Up and Dance, the show creators presents the concept of Hyperreality by showing the audience the declines of the main character’s humanity, which eventually reduced to a mere symbol in the bigger picture, by delivering signs and symbols to the audience that indicates the process and symptoms of Hyperreality.

Abstract

This research seeks to investigate public reaction towards the ordinance that allowed transgender people to use bathroom in correspondence to their identified gender. The article explores the reaction through observing comments expressed by public in comment sections of news articles from Abcnews (abcnews.com), Usatoday (usatoday.com), and Washington Post (washingtonpost.com). Comments expressed by public in the comment section contain their own belief and ideology which often clashes with one another. The conflict resulted in the verbal interchange of ideas (discourse) that are expressed through agreements and arguments. Drawing on qualitative method, this paper critically analyzes these discourses appearing in the comment section. The commenters’ belief in the context of transgender bathroom ordinance is correlated with the work of Michel Foucault that put focus on the systematical relation between power and its subject(s). This paper argues that heteronormativity is the power driving the subjects in reacting to the case of transgender bathroom ordinance.

Abstract

Gish Jen’s Typical American is a portrayal of Chinese immigrants’ struggles in adapting the life in America (USA). The main characters started to live in the USA; they, however, were struggling in trying to maintain their Chinese values as well as embracing the new American culture. In the process of adjusting this new culture, they had to cope with things that were not always suitable for their prior culture as Chinese. It is found that there are two dominant types of acculturation process presented by the characters in this novel: (1) separation when Ralph’s family maintained their original culture through family reunification and Chinese women’s role perpetuation in the family; and (2) assimilation shown by the rejections to maintain their original culture since the main characters have been influenced by American doctrines. It reveals also that in Gish Jen’s Typical American, acculturation was one of the ways to cope with the culture shock that they experienced as the first generation of Chinese immigrants in the USA. This research reveals also that cultural values were something fluid, although there were differences between Chinese and American cultures that affect one's belief, they were able to adapt to the new culture with some adjustments.

Abstract

This study uses van Dijk’s version of Critical Discourse Analysis perspective to examine the news construction of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia’s disbandment in two online newspapers. The two online newspapers used in this study are the Jakarta Post and Jakarta Globe. From the analysis, it shows us that based on textual analysis, the government and HTI are portrayed as two opposing parties. The government is described as ruling regime having authority to maintain national interests that is Pancasila as well as national unity, diversity, and security, while HTI is described as the organization against national interest. Thus, the disbandment of HTI is a correct step to defend national interests. This is in accordance with the developing discourse in society that the existence of HTI is considered to endanger Pancasila. Furthermore, this research revealed that the history, vision mission, previous experience and the political interest of special political elites in media has had decisive influence in transforming reality into news texts.

Abstract

This research analyses some issues related to the representation of the Eastern and the Western Europe as the metaphore of East and West and the postcolonial issue reflected on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The aims of this research are to reveal Eastern and the Western Europe as the metaphore of East and West and the postcolonial issue reflected onthe novel. This research applies theory of Orientalism and theory of ambivalence as the main theories. This research is qualitative research. From the analysis, it can be concluded that Dracula by Bram Stoker implicitly contains the issue of the East and the West by representing Eastern and Western Europe. The Eastern Europe representations are exotic landscape, tradition and superstition, and lustful. The Western Europe representations are the technology and rationality, and protagonist characters. The narrative of Dracula is also the representation of the West domination over the East through the monolith stigmatization. It reflects the strength of the West as well as the flaw of the West in taking information about the East. As the result the text remains ambivalence.Keywords: Ambivalence, East, Poscolonialism, Representation, West
