Abstract

This study examines the resistance of female characters against patriarchal traditions in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The research explores how gender, race, and social status shape the struggles of Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury, and Princess Augusta in navigating patriarchal constraints such as social expectations, legal limitations, and political hierarchies. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with close reading and thematic analysis, this study investigates the characters’ different strategies of resistance—negotiation, rejection, and manipulation—within the monarchical system. The findings reveal that while Queen Charlotte negotiates power within the constraints of patriarchy, Lady Danbury outright rejects traditional gender roles, and Princess Augusta manipulates the system for survival. The study also highlights how the series reconstructs history through a modern feminist lens, emphasizing gender agency and racial inclusivity over strict historical accuracy. This research contributes to feminist literary criticism by demonstrating how historical fiction serves both as a critique of systemic oppression and as a medium for narratives of resistance, reinforcing the ongoing discourse on gender equality and intersectionality in media representation.

Abstract

The physical appearance, particularly beauty standards influenced by social constructs, significantly impacts a woman's self-esteem and employment opportunities. Regrettably, black women, particularly African-American women, often experience marginalization due to societal beauty standards, racial biases, and gender discrimination within patriarchal settings. In light of this, our research employs the miniseries "Self-Made" to delve into how the dialogue spoken by the characters in the miniseries reflects the experiences of black women in the workforce. We utilize a qualitative descriptive research method with a feminist stylistic discourse analysis approach, following Sara Mills' methodology. Employing both word, phrase, and sentence-level analysis along with discourse-level examination, our study reveals the negative and degrading portrayals of black women in terms of their physical appearance, profession, and their place as women of the Negro race. Nevertheless, we also unearth instances where black women workers are depicted positively, reflecting their courage and empowerment in confronting racial stereotypes and patriarchal power. Our research aims to enhance understanding of the issues faced by black women by examining how they are represented in relation to their intersectional identities. Moreover, it highlights the significance of tackling preconceptions and biases present in media depictions, pushing for a society that is more inclusive and fairer.

Abstract

This research attempted to understand how dehumanization along with objectification occurred in prostitution. Dehumanization occurred when people treated others less than humans by denied their human uniqueness and nature and added negative attributes to refer to them as animals or objects. This research discussed how the victims of prostitution suffered dehumanization and how this dehumanization affected the victims, positioning them as objects, as portrayed in Somaly Mam and Ruth Marshall’s The Road of Lost Innocence. This research is qualitative-descriptive research. The main data is Somaly Mam and Ruth Marshall’s The Road of Lost Innocence, while supporting data is obtained from books, articles, and journals. In analyzing the data, the researcher applied the dehumanization theory of Haslam and the consequences of dehumanization as described by Bastian and Haslam. The results of this research showed the victims of prostitution suffered dehumanization based on Haslam’s theory: first, animalistic dehumanization, where the brothel owner viewed victims as animals, trained the victims as animals, etc. Second, mechanistic dehumanization occurred when a victim was sold into the brothel by her family, and the owner of the brothel treated the victims like goods that could be traded, etc. This researcher also discovered that this dehumanization affected the victim's cognitive and emotional responses.

Abstract

This study examines the reflection of Albert Camus' concept of absurdity in The Half of It, a movie directed by Alice Wu. Through qualitative and descriptive analysis, the research explores the intersection of existential philosophy with contemporary narratives, focusing on the protagonist, Ellie Chu. This study employs thematic and narrative analysis to identify and interpret elements in the movie that reflect absurdism, providing a fresh perspective on the application of Camus' ideas to modern storytelling. Camus’ theory of absurdity, characterized by alienation, the tension between the search for meaning and the indifference of the world, and the act of rebellion, is illustrated in Ellie’s journey. Her experiences include navigating cultural alienation as the only Chinese student in a small town, grappling with her identity and unreciprocated love, and reconciling personal desires with societal expectations. The findings contribute to literary and cultural studies by highlighting how Camus’ absurdity resonates in contemporary narratives, particularly those exploring identity, alienation, the immigrant and LGBTQ+ experience. By analyzing the interplay between philosophical concepts and cinematic representation, the study sheds light on the relevance of absurdism in understanding human struggles within the complexities of modern life

Abstract

This research analyzed Leonard Dekkom’s attempt to gain power in the film Geostorm (2017) through Machiavelli’s perspective. This research aims to see how Machiavelli’s theory applies to the actions taken by Leonard Dekkom, the strategies used, and the motivations behind the sabotage of the Dutch Boy system. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, collecting data through film analysis of scenes and dialogue to relate the findings. The results of this study show that Leonard Dekkom reflects Machiavellian traits, such as manipulation, cunning strategies, and tactics that override moral values to achieve his personal ambitions. Success in achieving power in politics prioritizes the goal over morality, such as Leonard Dekkom’s sabotage. This study concludes that Leonard Dekkom reflects the complexity of power politics, which is in line with Machiavelli’s thinking that prioritizes strategy and ambition over moral values.

Abstract

Love bombing is a dangerous phenomenon in relationships, where a narcissistic perpetrator uses language to manipulate their victim. This study aims to uncover the hidden meanings behind Jake’s love bombing language, revealing the manipulative intent behind his words. A qualitative descriptive approach is employed to analyze the language of love bombing within a narcissistic relationship. The data consists of 50 utterances from the short movie Love Bomb, spoken by Jake, the narcissistic character, towards Skye as his victim. Data were collected through observation, selecting utterances with significant manipulative intent from the official YouTube channel @integratebristol. In the analysis, Jake’s utterances are categorized into two stages of narcissistic abuse based on Grossi: idealization (18 utterances) and devaluation (32 utterances). In the idealization stage, he uses flattering language to create an illusion of love and emotional connection with Skye. As the relationship shifts to devaluation, his language becomes manipulative, controlling, and aggressive, aimed at diminishing Skye’s self-esteem and asserting dominance. Using Searle’s taxonomy of illocutionary acts, Jake’s utterances are classified into assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations. The findings show that during the idealization stage, Jake’s utterances consist of assertives (38.89%), directives (16.67%), commissives (0%), expressives (44.44%), and declarations (0%). In the devaluation stage, the distribution shifts to assertives (31.25%), directives (43.75%), commissives (18.75%), expressives (6.25%), and declarations (0%). Further analysis using Austin’s speech act theory reveals that Jake’s locutionary acts often differ from his literal meaning, while his perlocutionary effects shape Skye’s emotions and decisions. The study concludes that love bombing conceals strategic manipulation through exaggerated praise, conditional affection, and guilt-inducing phrases. This demonstrates how manipulative language in love bombing enables the perpetrator to maintain power and control in relationships

Abstract

This research aims to explore the representational meaning and cultural values depicted in Avatar: The Last Airbender 2024 movie posters through the lens of Multimodal Discourse Analysis and Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar. While previous studies on Avatar have focused on its philosophical themes, cultural representation, and narrative elements, by analyzing visual and textual elements in promotional materials, such as movie posters, in conveying cultural values, this gap will be address in this research. The study was chosen for its strong ties to East Asian cultural traditions, including philosophies, attire, and symbolic representations, making it a compelling subject for exploring cultural narratives in Hollywood media. A qualitative approach was employed, focusing on 7 posters selected from a total of 25, based on narrative representational aspects. Data were gathered from high-resolution movie posters on CineMaterial.com. Findings reveals that the posters embody East Asian cultural values such as harmony, resilience, and spiritual growth, conveyed through traditional attire, martial arts-inspired poses, and culturally significant backdrops. Textual elements like the phrase "Master Your Element" align with visual themes to emphasize personal growth and identity. The representational meaning highlights dynamic interactions among characters and their cultural contexts, offering insights into how multimodal texts function as cultural artifacts. This study concludes that the Avatar: The Last Airbender 2024 movie posters effectively combine visual and textual elements to represent East Asian cultural heritage while shaping narrative engagement, demonstrating how multimodal texts convey layered meanings by blending representational meaning with cultural values.

Abstract

Maternal care plays a critical role in shaping the emotional and psychological development of human being’s early life.  The absence of maternal care, can lead to long-term challenges, including emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, and difficulty forming secure attachments. Maternal deprivation refers to the lack of adequate maternal care and emotional support during a child’s early developmental stages. This research examines the effects of maternal deprivation and the development of psychological resilience as portrayed in Sue Monk Kidd’s novel The Secret Life of Bees. Through John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory, the research explores how early maternal absence impacts the protagonist, Lily Owens, and her emotional development. The analysis highlights how maternal deprivation manifests through Lily’s struggles with self-worth, trust issues, and emotional regulation. Despite these challenges, the novel also presents a narrative of resilience, as Lily finds surrogate maternal figures and healing through meaningful connections. The concept of psychological resilience, examined through the lens of trauma psychology, illustrates how Lily’s adaptive coping mechanisms help mitigate the adverse effects of maternal loss. The research integrates psychoanalytic literary criticism to analyze how the symbolic maternal figures in the novel support Lily’s journey toward healing. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the psychological implications of maternal deprivation and the role of resilience in overcoming early childhood trauma, offering valuable insights for both literary and psychoanalytic studies.

Abstract

This study explores the moral values embedded in the song “Please and Thank You,” commonly used in early childhood education. Recognizing that early childhood education plays a significant role shaping children’s character and moral development, this study investigates the effectiveness of simple songs in conveying moral messages. The song “Please and Thank You” emphasizes the importance of politeness, manners, and social respect, using the magic words "please" and "thank you" as central elements of moral instruction. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on content analysis, this study analyses the song’s lyrics through the lens of Kohlberg’s moral development theory, particularly focusing on the preconventional stage of moral reasoning in children. Since, it comes to songs designed for children, especially those in the preconventional stage, the lyrics often reinforce basic moral lessons such as distinguishing between good and bad behaviors, and the consequences of those behaviors. Findings suggest that the song not only enhances cognitive skills but also plays a crucial role in instilling values such as respect, kindness, and consideration for others. The results highlight the significant potential of songs as a medium for moral education, contributing to the development of positive moral. This study underscores the importance of incorporating moral value driven content in early childhood song education to foster a supportive environment for moral and social growth for children in their early age.
