Abstract

The concept of Inyeon in Korean philosophy reflects a spiritual connection involving causality between individuals, spanning both current and Past Lives. This study analyzes the representation of the Inyeon concept as a form of determinism in the film Past Lives (2023) by Celine Song, using a qualitative descriptive method and Jonathan Edwards' theory of determinism. The results identify two forms of determinism: causal determinism and theological determinism. Causal determinism highlights causal relationships grouped into three types: continuing, detaching, and shifting Inyeon. Meanwhile, theological determinism reflects a belief in predestined fate, classified into four types: accepting, resisting, appreciating, and regretting Inyeon. The results show that theological determinism is more dominant, emphasizing the film's narrative focus on belief in fate and reflections on human relationships. This study offers new insights into the relevance of the Inyeon concept in Korean culture and modern media.

Abstract

Yakuwarigo, or role language, is a type of virtual language used in Japanese fiction to reflect stereotypical character traits. This study discusses the use of yakuwarigo in the anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (KHR) with the aim of identifying the types, functions, and factors that influence the appearance of yakuwarigo in its characters. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of listening and noting the dialogues of nine characters who are considered to represent yakuwarigo in the anime. Data analysis uses Kinsui's (2003) yakuwarigo theory, which classifies role language patterns based on linguistic and social stereotypes. The results of the study show that the types of yakuwarigo that appear can be classified into three main classifications, namely based on gender, based on era, and based on age. The functions of yakuwarigo found include four main domains, namely social identity function, relational function, emotional function, and narrative function. This study also found three factors that influence the use of yakuwarigo, namely social factors, historical factors, and characterisation factors. This study shows that yakuwarigo does not always strictly follow linguistic stereotypes, but rather functions flexibly according to the needs of characterisation and the context of the story.

Abstract

This study examines how anime and East Asian animation function as instruments of cultural diplomacy and soft power within the framework of behavioral political economy. Specifically, it investigates the mechanisms through which Japan, South Korea, and China leverage animated cultural products to project influence, shape audience behavior, and generate economic returns in global markets. Employing a qualitative approach through comparative analysis and systematic literature review, this research draws on industry reports, peer-reviewed journals, and policy documents to trace anime's historical development, international market penetration, and its role within the Cool Japan Initiative and Hallyu Wave. The findings reveal that anime operates as a dynamic form of cultural behavioral multilateralism, wherein global audiences do not passively receive Japanese cultural content but actively reinterpret and localize it, generating reciprocal flows of influence. Comparatively, South Korea has repositioned itself from subcontractor to global IP producer, while China has pursued state-backed domestic consolidation as its primary model of cultural expansion. Economically, East Asian animation diversifies national revenue through streaming, merchandising, and licensing, while politically it sustains cross-cultural dialogue and soft power leverage even in diplomatically strained bilateral contexts. These findings suggest that animation in East Asia functions simultaneously as an economic motor and a geopolitical asset whose influence is co-produced between origin states and global audiences.

Abstract

The influence of Japanese culture and commodities had been present in the Dutch East Indies since the mid-19th century, one of which was toys. There were many types of toy products imported from the land of the rising sun. Basically, these products did not just appear out of nowhere, but there was a causality from various events that occurred in Japan, which led to the arrival of Japanese products, especially toys. This study discusses the early arrival of Japanese diaspora in the Dutch East Indies who chose a life in trade. One of the products sold by the Japanese diaspora is toys. The development and changes in the types of toys will be described in this study. This article used a historical method in the form of a literature study consisting of various stages of research, including heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study explain that many Japanese diasporas in the Dutch East Indies established trading businesses, starting from shops to importers. One of the main commodities of the Japanese diaspora was toys. Japanese toys had a large market in the Dutch East Indies. This situation persisted until the eve of World War II. Due to various political barriers in the country, the Japanese diaspora in the Dutch East Indies were deported to their homeland. However, after World War II, the export of Japanese toys to the international market continued to grow instead.

Abstract

Traditionally, the Korean folktale “Gureongdeongdeong Sinseonbi” is viewed as promoting patriarchal ideology and female subservience during the Joseon era. This qualitative study, however, argues that the tale instead exposes the fragile foundations of patriarchy through internal contradictions that undermine male authority. Using Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction and Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, this research analyzes the power relations between male characters (Sinseonbi, Sinseonbi’s father, and Sinseonbi’s wife’s father) and female characters (Sinseonbi’s mother and wife). The findings demonstrate a reversal of binary oppositions, highlighted by dysfunctional male figures and women who assume masculine roles. The three male characters become passive subjects, lacking agency. They fail to demonstrate the ideal performance of masculinity, both as holders of supreme authority in various aspects of life and as a scholar. As a result, the female characters appropriate traditionally masculine roles, emerging as active subjects, problem solvers, and saviors. This research reveals the dependence of male authority on women, domestic instruments, and domestic space, showing that the patriarchal system collapses without women’s support. It also shows that women’s agency transcends the boundaries of femininity and masculinity as well as domestic and public spheres, reaffirming gender as a social construct rather than an innate trait

Abstract

Loanwords commonly undergo various forms of modification when they are adopted from one language into another. These modifications may involve changes in meaning, phonemes, or other linguistic elements. This article focuses on the phoneme changes found in English loanwords borrowed into Korean and Indonesian and aims to identify the differences between the two languages. The analysis is conducted through contrastive analysis by comparing the phoneme change patterns that appear in Korean and Indonesian loanwords derived from English. The findings reveal several types of phoneme changes in both languages, including vowel modification, consonant modification, phoneme addition, and phoneme omission. In Indonesian, the most frequent changes are vowel modification and phoneme addition, whereas in Korean the dominant patterns include vowel modification, consonant modification, and phoneme addition. The study also shows that some phoneme changes are shared by both languages, while others are language-specific. In addition, the overall patterns of adaptation differ between the two. Indonesian tends to adopt English loanwords more closely according to their written forms, while Korean more often reflects the pronunciation of the original words, although these forms are adjusted to fit the Korean phonological system.
