Abstract

Power is one of the most wanted things in this world. Many people compete with each other for power. Sometimes, some of them use their cunning to accomplish their desire for power. When they succeed to get it, they will do everything to maintain their positions. This research explores those kinds of issues portrayed in George Orwell’s novel entitled Animal Farm (1945). Furthermore, the research focuses on the process of how hegemony takes place in Animal Farm. Antonio Gramsci’s theory about hegemony is used to analyze the data. The research finds out that from the beginning to the end of the story, Orwell’s Animal Farm shows the system of hegemony created and developed by the pigs’ group. Old Major’s speech made the animals realized their real condition and triggered the animals to rebel against their master, Mr. Jones. Even though their rebellion succeeded to expel Mr. Jones and his men from the farm, it emerged the new supremacy of the pigs. Snowball only used consent to rule the animals. On the other hand, Napoleon used the combination of consent and coercion to rule the animals.

Abstract

This article employs the media narratives and semiotics analytical approach to examine how Edward Snowden was constructed in online publications of the Times and the Post as two major national newspapers in the United States. The analysis finds that both media successfully construct Snowden positively as a new kind of leaker and as a hero in the sense that he brings back the importance of freedom of speech as a living myth in the United States. He is still viewed as a hero despite his moving to Russia, the political enemy of the United States. The analysis also shows that both media perpetuate the myth of free speech. They construct Snowden’s action positively as a new method to give people courage to criticize the government.

Abstract

Sexism and gender stereotype turns out to be political term that refers to descrimination of women in society despite their sex and gender. Thus, contexts in sexism are coming from different background and subjects. One way to express the sexism is towards advertising industry. This paper focuses on a photography work by Lebanon-based artist and photographer, named Eli Rezkallah, who made an outstanding work of recreating the advertisement picture from the mad-man era, which depicts about sexism between men and women in workforce, especially in domestic sphere. Eli Rezkallah attempted gender reversal of sexist advertisement of products in the 1950s United States. The original picture depicts feminine submission to the dominant and hegemonic masculinity. His attempt is to depict a reversed role, or in other words, female masculinity. This article analyzes the original & reversed pictures using semiotic analysis, and comes to the conclusion that the gender reversal attempt does not succeeded and does not depict female masculinity, only depicting a different form of sexism.Key words: Gender, Masculinity, Sexism, Female, Advertising

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis research aims to understand the status relation and the way the text and emoji interact in musicians’ twitter posts. This research focuses on the musicians’ twitter posts containing promotion, which also include emoji and text. This research is in a form of a descriptive qualitative which uses the multimodality theory through the generalized image-text relation of Radan Martinec and Andrew Salway. Findings shows that the musicians tend to position the emoji subordinately to text. In terms of logico-semantic relation, the extension relation occurs more than the exemplification relation and enhancement relation. The emoji mostly provides additional information, which cannot be transferred with the text, such as expression and feeling. It is also used to symbolize the event they promote in the post, such as guitar emoji () in a concert promotion. The religious musicians tend to use emoji to provide information about themselves, such as feeling and expression. While, the rock musicians use the emoji more to put information about the event, such as the place and how many days left until the event begins.

Abstract

The concept of male gaze has been present for a very long time. It is present in literature, albeit literature being an entirely different media. In The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides, this theme seems to be very apparent along with themes such as voyeurism and objectifications. Drawing on the structuralist and gender studies, this article emphasizes about the effect of the male gaze and how this specific way of viewing affects the girls in a way that it shifts their function as a character, by reading the novel as a fairytale—a form of literary work of which the elements are easy to understand—helped by Vladimir Propp’s theory of dramatis personae. The findings attained from literature reading and library research concludes that the way the neighborhood boys' view of the Lisbon girls does affect their roles in the story. I argue that the Lisbon girls were put on a very high pedestal since the very beginning; therefore positions them as the fairytale princess. However, due to the nature of the gaze applied in the work, there are possibilities that it may shift to other characters.
