Abstract

This research aims to answer how the issues of Black racial stereotype and race relationship are being used in the Chris Rock’s standup comedy entitled Never Scared. The issues of Black racial stereotype and race relationship are analyzed through the portrayal of living in US as Black people in the eyes of Chris Rock, an influential American Black comedian. This research is a descriptive qualitative research which uses Arthur Asa Berger’s techniques of comedy theory as an approach. As a result, this research finds that living in US as Black people is likely to be exposed by racial violence involving White people. The result also signifies how Black people are considered as inferior race in US society which then leads to the mentioning of racial discrimination towards Black people.

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 research examines the construction of the enemy in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009) as postmodern enemy through the portrayal of the Nazi. Applying Derrida's deconstruction theory to see how Hollywood cinematic convention is being deconstructed, the analysis shows that the Nazi are being deconstructed through the following construction: 1) wearing distinctive outfit, 2) being dehumanized as evil, 3) having different purpose from the hero, 4) being on the losing side, and 5) being racially different. The Nazi shows some qualities of not being stereotypical enemy: they are depicted to show patriotism, loyalty, and compassion. The blurry characteristics between hero and enemy shows postmodernity.

Abstract

The existence of plus size contender in Miss Universe has broken down the normalization of slenderness which has been one of manifestations of femininity in American society and its beauty pageant industries. The plus size lens is brought by Siera Bearchell who has been placed on Top 9 in Miss Universe 2016 edition to resist the cultural normalization of slender body size. By using textual analysis, this research focuses on Siera Bearchell’s YouTube videos and news articles related to the plus size contender to investigate the way she embodies the cultural resistance through her personal practices in the Miss Universe pageant. This research shows that Siera Bearchell has failed at embodying the dominant ideology of feminine slender ideal in Miss Universe. However, this failure cannot put Siera Bearchell to cultural obedience to the bodily ideal. This occurs since Siera Bearchell has resisted the cultural normalization by embodying her plus size body as a state for personal space and freedom. Therefore, the symbol of normalization of feminine slender size contradicts her identity as the plus size contender. Ultimately, this research shows that the existence of plus size contender in Miss Universe has been a symbol of cultural resistance of femininity in the American beauty pageant.

The research applies Edward Said’s Orientalism to define the Western perspective in representing the awful images of Arabs in the film. It also deploys post-colonial discourse and comedy film theory in defining the distorted images of Arabs which often represented not as its natural form in this comedy genre film. As the result – throughout many Western and Orientalist creations – Arabs are depicted as bomber, barbaric and lustful.
