Abstract

The aim of this research is to represent beauty and to describe the construction of beauty in the novel Pesisir Girl by Nunuk Y. Kusmiana. The method used in this research is qualitative with Naomi Wolf's feminist theory approach. The results of this research show that in the novel Pesisi Girl there is a representation of beauty and the construction of beauty. The representation of beauty is divided into three parts, namely beauty in culture, religion and sex in the coastal communities of Jayapura. The representation of beauty in culture is having white skin and being highly intellectual, religion is being able to maintain purity, and sex is being beautiful who is believed to have sexual qualities. Meanwhile, construction in culture is changing hair styles, wearing make-up, and dressing well. The construction of antiquity in religion is to convey the sanctity that is possessed. Meanwhile, sex does things that affect reproduction.

Abstract

This research is intended to showcase the reflection of Black self-resilience through Still I Rise poem written by Maya Angelou. Mimetic approach and the concept of self-resilience were used to analyze the problem of this research. Self-resilience was seen in two points; physical and psychological ones. Black self-resilient performed in the poem is considered as the mimetic rendition of the dynamic process of black struggle that leads to the positive adaptations within the context of significant adversity in their life context of the US. Type of this research is included in library research with using descriptive qualitative-interpretive method in analyzing the data. It suggests that Maya Angelou in the poem Still I Rise pictured two kinds of Black self-resilience; physical resilience is showed through some selected words, like; dust, sun, moon, tide, they still arise in their place and time. Black did not and could not be destroyed by the bitter treatment of racism. These words also represented the psychological resilience by adding some other words; having gold mine, walk like I've got oil wells, certainty of tides, and the repeating word, I rise, to show their inner self-motivation, affection, and actualization. This study concluded that Black self-resilience both physically and psychologically reflected by Maya Angelou in her Poem Still I Rise is dealing with the racism. Blacks are destroyed not only physically but also mentality, so, they have to endure themselves by leading to a positive adaptation to exist in the United States.

Abstract

Penelitian ini berangkat dari anggapan bahwa pengalaman berduka sering dimaknai melalui tindakan domestik sederhana yang merapikan dunia batin. Tujuan penelitian adalah menjelaskan bagaimana metafora “mencuci piring” bekerja sebagai perangkat konseptual pemulihan sekaligus strategi wacana yang menormalisasi perawatan diri maskulin. Studi kualitatif–interpretatif ini menggabungkan Conceptual Metaphor Theory extended edition dan Analisis Wacana Kritis Fairclough, dengan penandaan metafora memakai MIP, pengelompokan tema melalui Reflexive Thematic Analysis, dan pemetaan ke tiga dimensi teks-praktik diskursif-praktik sosial. Hasil menunjukkan tiga temuan utama. Pertama, pembersihan diposisikan sebagai penanganan residu duka sehingga oposisi “bersih/keruh” menjadi penanda progres emosional. Kedua, ritme kerja domestik (membilas-menggosok-menyusun) berfungsi sebagai perangkat regulasi emosi yang menstrukturkan ulang perasaan melalui langkah kecil berulang. Ketiga, pekerjaan menggunakan tangan diresemantisasi sebagai perawatan diri yang sah bagi laki-laki yang memperluas maskulinitas dari penahan emosi menjadi pengelola emosi. Integrasi CMT–AWK melacak jejak dari pilihan leksikal dan transitivitas hingga normalisasi nilai kebersihan, keteraturan, dan kendali diri pada tataran sosial. Implikasinya, metafora perawatan yang empatik dan praktik domestik berirama dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai perangkat literasi emosi dan psikoedukasi yang rendah biaya namun kontekstual.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the syntactic structures found in the dialogues of the film 12 Angry Men (1957) from a stylistic perspective. The research focuses on three syntactic aspects, namely sentence length (simple and complex sentences), sentence types (interrogative and imperative forms), and repetition. The data were obtained from selected dialogues in the film and analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The results show that syntactic structures function not only as grammatical forms but also as stylistic devices that contribute to characterization, power relations, and the development of argumentative tension among the jurors. Simple sentences are predominantly used to express strong opinions, emotional responses, and prejudice, while complex sentences are employed to convey logical reasoning and reflective arguments, particularly by Juror #8. Furthermore, interrogative and imperative sentence forms are frequently used indirectly to control the discussion and influence other characters. Repetition is utilized to emphasize key ideas, highlight psychological conditions, and reinforce central legal concepts such as reasonable doubt. This study concludes that syntactic variation plays a crucial role in constructing meaning and realism in film dialogue. The findings are expected to contribute to linguistic and stylistic studies, especially in the analysis of language use in cinematic discourse.

Abstract

This paper proposes to analyze the process of mingling of Chinese identity in the American-born Chinese graphic novel, published in 2006, written by Gene Luen Yang. The novel tells the story of Chinese immigrants from diverse social and ethnic backgrounds in the United States. They have to mingle their identity by mimicking the American culture to survive in the US society. In Bhabha's postcolonial theory, the mingling process is related to mimicry to negotiate identities. The Chinese immigrants tried to mimic the American culture and sustain their Chinese identity on the other side. From these two things, mimicry can be formed because of the process of ambivalence; these concepts are one of the formations of mimicry of culture. It is proposed not only to resist the stereotypical images associated to Chinese identities in the US but also to reveal the product of hybridity as a zone of resistance and creativity.

Abstract

The inheritance of kabhanti gambusu is the process of passing knowledge about kabhanti gambusu from one generation to the next, carried out both formally and informally. Formal inheritance is the process of learning kabhanti gambusu conducted by school teachers for their students (the younger generation), while informal inheritance of kabhanti gambusu is the process of passing knowledge by kabhanti gambusu practitioners to young prospective performers in order to become professional performers. The sustainability and continuity of kabhanti gambusu depend on its inheritance; in other words, it depends on the community's concern, especially the speakers or tradition practitioners, to pass it on to the next generation. The problem of inheritance becomes more severe because kabhanti gambusu naturally does not progress smoothly. If this inheritance problem is hindered, the existence of an oral literature is on the path to extinction.
