Abstract

This research analyzes how the Kompas Daily frames the Prabowo-Gibran administration in its special edition marking their one year in office. Data was collected from six main news articles in the Politics & Law and Economy & Business sections of this special edition. Using Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki's framing theory, the study examines how the news structure is constructed through four analytical devices: syntax, script, thematic, and rhetoric. The research results indicate that Kompas frames the Prabowo–Gibran administration in a critical-moderate manner, with the main focus on issues of elite consolidation, policy centralization, the paradox of economic etatism, and weak legal reform. Syntactically, the news highlights academic and bureaucratic official sources; thematically, it focuses on the dominance of central power; rhetorically, it uses specific metaphors and diction to strengthen the editorial position. In its presentation, the research findings show that Kompas serves as reflective journalism that seeks to maintain a balance between appreciating political stability and criticizing the symptoms of power centralization.

Abstract

Character development in fiction often mirrors fundamental psychological struggles, making it a compelling area for analysis. Although previous studies have explored Avatar: The Last Airbender from literary and cultural viewpoints, there has been limited focus on Zuko’s redemption arc through the framework of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. This study aims to analyze Zuko’s transformation from conflict to redemption, exploring not only Maslow’s stages of physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization but also the impact of sociocultural influences and family pressures on his development. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered from selected episodes of the series and analyzed through Maslow’s framework, supplemented by triangulation of theories to enhance the understanding of Zuko’s character. The findings indicate that Zuko’s journey through the hierarchy reflects both his internal conflicts and the evolving dynamics of his relationships, particularly with his father and Uncle Iroh, which play pivotal roles in his transformation. This study highlights how the fulfillment of human needs, alongside external sociocultural factors, shapes a character’s redemption arc, thereby fostering a deeper dialogue between psychology and narrative studies.

Abstract

Political hate speech in Indonesian social media has grown stronger, and its force is typically produced through multimodal resources rather than words alone in everyday online political conversations. Prior studies mainly investigate verbal aggression, emojis, and lexical borrowing separately; therefore, the way these resources interact in political hate remains unclear. This study bridges that gap by studying how English lexical borrowing and emojis combine to build Indonesian political hate speech and reproduce ideology. Applying a qualitative design, thirty publicly viewable hate-speech comments were purposively sampled from X/Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok (ten per site). The dataset was examined with Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis, relating textual structures (macrostructure, superstructure, microstructure) to social cognition and social context. Borrowed items were tagged as loanwords, loan blends, or semantic loans, and emojis were coded by pragmatic function (e.g., sarcasm, mocking, disgust). Findings demonstrate that multimodal hate speech is dominant: comments containing borrowing and emojis are most frequent, while borrowing-only remarks exceed emoji-only ones. Direct English loanwords serve as high-impact evaluative instruments, while emojis systematically increase posture, notably through sarcasm/mockery and disgust-based dehumanization of offenders. At the cognitive level, these tools continuously enact dehumanization as the strongest ideology, alongside anti-democratic and anti-elite/systemic-betrayal ideologies that legitimate contempt and divisiveness in online politics. Thus, Indonesian political hate speech acts as a coordinated verbal–symbolic approach. Although based on a small qualitative dataset typical of CDA, the analysis avoids overinterpreting emojis or borrowed forms by identifying ideological meaning only when these elements recur consistently across hostile contexts, ensuring that stylistic choices are distinguished from multimodal cues that genuinely contribute to political hate. Prevention, detection, and digital-literacy efforts must treat emojis and borrowed terminology as key bearers of political violence, not peripheral indications, and future studies should investigate these tendencies in bigger corpora, across regions, and during election cycles.
