Abstract

The background of this research is driven by the vital importance of strengthening democratic values amidst the challenges of globalization and digitalization, which have begun to erode civic consciousness among the younger generation, particularly in the Pasir Pengaraian region. As the flow of unfiltered information increases, there are significant concerns regarding the decline in understanding the essence of participatory democracy and civic ethics. The primary objective of this study is to analyze in depth the strategic role of civic education as a means to preserve democratic ideals and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation within higher education environments. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing observations and in-depth interviews with students and academics in Pasir Pengaraian to obtain an objective overview of local political dynamics. Research findings indicate that civic education serves effectively as a pillar of political literacy capable of transforming student perceptions from apathy to active participation, while also serving as a medium for character building that respects diversity of opinion. Furthermore, the integration of local Pasir Pengaraian values with the national curriculum is proven to increase the relevance and absorption of democratic material among students.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the increasing complexity of global culture, which demands a value system capable of providing direction and meaning in human life. In this context, Islam is viewed as having the potential to serve as a global value system through a cultural concept grounded in revelatory values. This study aims to analyze the concept of culture from an Islamic perspective as a global value system by examining the thought of Ali Ahmad Madkur. The method used is a qualitative approach based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), systematically and critically examining various relevant scientific literature. The results of the study indicate that Islamic culture in Madkur’s thought is built upon two main dimensions: the normative dimension, which is derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah, and the practical dimension as its actualization in social life. Although this approach has strengths in maintaining the integrity of values, it still faces challenges in responding to the complex, dynamic, and hybrid nature of global cultural dynamics. Therefore, a more integrative approach is needed to ensure that Islamic cultural values remain relevant and operational in a global context. This study has implications for strengthening more contextual studies of Islamic culture and developing Islamic education that is adaptive to the changing times.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the linguistic characteristics and storytelling techniques in the memoir Broken Strings by Aurélie Moeremans. This memoir shares a profound true story of the author's experience surviving emotional manipulation, coercive control, and psychological abuse in a toxic relationship. Using a qualitative descriptive method combining stylistic and structural narratology approaches, this study examines expressive diction, figurative language, and intrinsic narrative elements such as theme, point of view, plot pacing, and characterization. The results show that the author frequently exploits restrictive diction and uses similes and metaphors (such as "cage" and "puppet") to vividly illustrate abstract psychological wounds and trauma into a concrete form. Furthermore, the strict use of a first-person (homodiegetic) point of view combined with the distortion of narrative pacing during traumatic moments proves to be highly effective. This technique successfully replicates the dissociation (freeze) response and immerses the reader in the author's feelings of isolation and internal struggle toward true liberation. The study concludes that the linguistic choices and the application of structural storytelling techniques in this memoir are not merely elements of literary aesthetics, but crucial advocacy instruments in constructing a powerful narrative of trauma and survivor resilienc.

Abstract

Language plays an important role in human communication, including international political communication. In pragmatics, the meaning of an utterance is understood not only explicitly but also through implied meanings known as conversational implicatures. This study aims to analyze the conversational implicatures and their meanings found in Donald Trump’s speech at the 80th United Nations General Assembly. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The data consisted of utterances containing conversational implicatures taken from Donald Trump’s speech published on the official UN Web TV platform. The data were collected through observation and note-taking techniques. The results of the study show that Donald Trump’s speech contains various conversational implicatures in the form of satire, criticism, sarcastic humor, political emphasis, and self-image building. These implicatures were used to convey meanings indirectly in order to influence the audience’s perspective and strengthen his political position in the international community. Therefore, the use of conversational implicatures in political speeches plays an important role as a communication strategy to implicitly convey ideology, criticism, and the speaker’s self-image.

Abstract

Directive illocutionary acts involving questions are commonly encountered in everyday life and are also present in a film that depicts everyday life. This will be examined in this study, focusing on the film “Sekawan Limo” by Bayu Skak. The film features a variety of languages and is dominated by Javanese, which is a distinctive feature of the film. This study discusses direct questioning (confirmation and the use of the words what, who, how, why, how much, when) and indirect questioning (rhetorical, commands, insults, reminders, and tests) Questioning is also supported by gestural kinesics that reinforce verbal communication and take the form of bodily behavior or actions. This study employs a pragmatic analysis. The research method used is qualitative descriptive. The data for this study consists of character dialogues in the film “Sekawan Limo.” The primary data of this study comprises utterances classified as directive illocutionary acts of questioning, supported by gestural kinesics. The research instrument in this study is the researcher themselves. The results of this study consist of text and images that will be explained in accordance with the researcher’s findings and based on the theory employed.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the forms of dystopian narrative in the novel 24 Hours with Gaspar by Sabda Armandio. Unlike classical dystopian works that commonly portray futuristic societies, advanced technologies, authoritarian governments, or post-apocalyptic settings, the dystopian elements in this novel emerge in a more subtle and realistic manner through social conditions that are closely connected to everyday human experiences. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literary text analysis approach. The data consist of narrative excerpts, dialogues, and inner monologues that reflect various dimensions of dystopia, including spiritual, existential, social, and moral aspects. The analysis reveals that dystopia in the novel is manifested through the loss of the sacredness of God, the normalization of death and violence, the erosion of hope and future orientation, the breakdown of family relationships, and the dehumanization of individual identity. Furthermore, the novel portrays moral corruption, institutional decay, social alienation, and the absurdity of justice as systemic conditions shaping human life. These dystopian representations illustrate how modern society experiences a gradual degradation of values and meaning. Overall, the novel offers a profound critique of contemporary humanity and serves as a reflective commentary on the social, moral, and existential crises of the modern world.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy on the motivation of the characters Desi and Aini in Andrea Hirata's novel Guru Aini based on Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a literary psychology approach. The research data consisted of textual excerpts illustrating the characters' behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes, which were collected through literature review using reading, observation, and note-taking techniques. Data were analyzed based on the four sources of self-efficacy, namely mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and physiological and emotional states. The findings reveal that the motivation of both Desi and Aini is shaped by the interaction of these four sources of self-efficacy. Desi's self-efficacy is reflected in her perseverance, idealism, self-evaluation, and commitment as an educator despite encountering various teaching challenges. Meanwhile, Aini's self-efficacy develops through her learning experiences, Guru Desi's exemplary role, verbal encouragement from her social environment, and a strong emotional drive to fulfill her aspiration of becoming a doctor in order to treat her father. Overall, this study demonstrates that self-efficacy plays a crucial role in developing and sustaining the motivation of both characters, while also contributing to the advancement of literary psychology studies by providing a deeper understanding of the psychological dynamics of literary characters.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms and functions of expressive speech acts used by the main character, Eleanor Durran, in My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a pragmatic approach. The data consisted of Eleanor's utterances containing expressive speech acts collected from the dialogues in the novel and were analyzed based on their forms and functions. The findings reveal that expressive speech acts in the novel are realized in two forms: direct speech acts and indirect speech acts. Both forms are found in declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentence structures. In addition, the study identifies five functions of expressive speech acts, namely expressing gratitude, surprise, fear, panic, and anger. These functions reflect Eleanor's psychological state and emotional responses to the various events she experiences throughout the story. The findings also indicate that expressive speech acts play an important role in conveying the character's emotions, building interpersonal relationships, and supporting character development within the narrative. Furthermore, this study is expected to contribute to pragmatic studies, particularly those concerning expressive speech acts in literary works.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the slametan and communal dining traditions after the Eid al-Adha prayer in Gumawang and Mrican Villages, Pekalongan Regency, and to examine their role in strengthening social relations within the community. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a cultural studies approach. Data were collected through field observations, interviews, and documentation analysis to explore the meaning, practices, and social functions of the tradition. The findings reveal that the slametan tradition reflects a harmonious acculturation between Islamic values and Javanese cultural practices. In Gumawang Village, the tradition is characterized by the implementation of tahlilan and adaptations in food presentation, shifting from heavy meals to lighter snacks according to contemporary community conditions. Meanwhile, in Mrican Village, communal dining serves as a social equalizer through voluntary contributions of food that overcome differences in economic status, supported by organized mutual cooperation (gotong royong) involving both men and women. This tradition plays an important role as a social medium for maintaining solidarity, strengthening interpersonal relationships, preserving cultural identity, and preventing social conflicts in the context of modern society.

Abstract

Euphemistic expressions are frequently employed in communication to present unpleasant or sensitive realities in a more acceptable manner. From a pragmatic perspective, euphemisms may also serve as a means of flouting conversational maxims, enabling speakers to imply meanings indirectly rather than state them explicitly. This study investigates the use of euphemism as a maxim-flouting strategy in the film The Substance. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzed euphemistic utterances identified from the film screenplay by applying Grice’s Cooperative Principle and theories of euphemism. The analysis demonstrates that euphemisms are utilized to obscure, soften, or indirectly convey sensitive matters associated with aging, declining fame, concealed identity, illness, and bodily transformation. These expressions were found to involve the flouting of the maxims of quantity, quality, relation, and manner, thereby generating conversational implicatures that require audiences to infer meanings beyond the literal expressions. Furthermore, the findings indicate that euphemism contributes significantly to reinforcing the film’s major concerns, particularly those related to beauty standards, anxiety about aging, and self-identity. Accordingly, euphemism functions not merely as a politeness strategy but also as an effective pragmatic device for constructing implicit meaning in cinematic discourse.
