Abstract

This research explores women’s resistance and empowerment to systemic oppression in the movie Damsel (2024) through the theoretical lenses of Iris Marion Young’s “Five Faces of Oppression” and Rosemarie Tong’s radical feminism. The movie tells a story of Elodie, a young noblewoman sacrificed by the royal monarchy to a dragon under the guise of marriage tradition. The study aims to identify the forms of oppression Elodie experiences and to analyze the strategies she employs to reclaim her agency. Using Young’s framework, the analysis reveals how Elodie endures five kinds of oppression, including exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism and violence. Elodie experiences physical aggression, loses her autonomy, is stigmatized due to her gender and class, and is politically exploited. Applying Tong’s interpretation of radical feminism, the research further explores Elodie’s development not merely as a survivor but as an empowered agent who actively resists patriarchal domination. The results show that her rejection of prescribed gender roles, her assertion of bodily and political autonomy, and her strategic confrontation with the monarchy exemplify radical feminist resistance aimed at transforming unjust structures. The study concludes that her final act of dismantling the oppressive system not only secures her own liberation but also creates possibilities for broader collective empowerment for other women within the narrative.

Abstract

In post-9/11 fiction, trauma is often represented not merely as a psychological condition but as a narrative disruption that fragments the protagonist's sense of self. This article examines the representation of the divided self in Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close through the lens of R.D. Laing’s theory of the Divided Self. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to examine how self-fragmentation and the construction of a false-self system dramatize the protagonist’s inner conflict. The findings indicate that narrative elements, such as rigid communication patterns and the deployment of humor, function as a false-self system that serves as a defense mechanism against ontological insecurity. This study argues that the tragedy of 9/11 triggered a sharp separation between the inner self and the false self. Ultimately, the trauma in this novel manifests as a catalyst for a divided self that alienates inner feelings from their social representation, thereby trapping the protagonist in self-isolation.

Abstract

  This study aims to examine the representation of women and power relations in the song “Doll People” by Sofia Isella using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This qualitative study uses song lyrics obtained from the official Spotify platform as verbal data, analyzed through Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework: text, discourse practice, and social practice. The findings indicate that, at the textual level, women are represented as objects through metaphors, passive constructions, and identity labeling, reflecting patterns of dehumanization and fragmentation. At the level of discourse practice, meaning and identity are constructed through external perspectives that position women as objects of observation and evaluation. At the level of social practice, the lyrics reflect unequal power relations associated with patriarchal ideology, while also presenting elements of resistance through a shift toward agency. This study suggests that song lyrics function as a discursive space where objectification is both reproduced and questioned, contributing to a deeper understanding of gender representation in contemporary music.

Abstract

his study examines the representation of racism in the film The Six Triple Eight within the broader context of cultural, media, and representation studies, where racism is understood as a socially constructed and historically embedded phenomenon. Studies that have already been conducted on racism in movies typically use semiotic analysis or Critical Race Theory (CRT) independently, which leads to disjointed methods that are unable to explain how audiovisual signs function as mechanisms for creating and reproducing racial ideology. This study addresses this research gap by integrating CRT and Roland Barthes’ semiotics into a unified analytical framework. This study aims to identify the types of racism depicted in The Six Triple Eight and examine the ways in which these depictions carry ideological meanings. Purposive sampling is used in this study’s descriptive qualitative methodology to select settings that both overtly and covertly represent racism. Repeatedly watching the movie, taking methodical notes, and documenting screenshots as visual evidence are some methods for gathering data. Three steps comprise the analytical process: first, identifying pertinent visual, verbal, and symbolic signs; second, using Barthesian semiotics to interpret their meanings at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth; and third, contextualizing these meanings using CRT to reveal systemic racial structures and underlying power relations embedded in the narrative and its visual construction. The results show that racism appears throughout the movie in a number of interrelated ways, such as institutional racism, racialized gender discrimination, microaggressions, and cultural racism. These forms are created using subtle cinematic elements, including body language, spatial arrangements, and symbolic references, in addition to overt events and conversation. These symbols serve to legitimize the marginalization of African-American women in the military institution and to normalize white supremacy at the mythological level. This study concludes by showing how racism in movies functions as an ideological framework ingrained in audiovisual representation. By connecting visual signification with structural critique, the merger of CRT and Barthesian semiotics allows for a more thorough analysis, making theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions to the study of racism in film.

Abstract

This study examines directive speech acts and gender-based language patterns in the comment section of the official Instagram account @menkeuri on the post entitled “Solid Economic Growth, Acceleration of Spending Continues to Be Boosted.” The study aims to identify the forms and functions of directive speech acts and to analyze gender differences in their use within the context of digital political communication. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a content analysis method. The data consisted of comments containing directive speech acts posted within one month after the upload of the post. Data were collected through documentation and note-taking techniques and analyzed using Ibrahim’s (1992) classification of directive speech acts. The findings reveal 154 directive speech acts categorized into five forms: requestives (63.63%), questions (12.34%), requirements (11.04%), advisories (9.74%), and permissives (3.25%), while prohibitives were not found. The identified functions include requesting, pleading, praying, questioning, demanding, ordering, advising, warning, proposing, and suggesting, with praying emerging as the most dominant function. In terms of gender, male netizens produced more directive utterances than female netizens. Male language patterns tended to be more assertive and action-oriented, whereas female language patterns tended to emphasize empathy, solidarity, and politeness. These findings indicate that gender-related language patterns may influence how users express aspirations, criticism, and demands regarding public policy in digital political communication.

Abstract

This study aims to map the character education values represented in Suciati’s novel Meniti Asa through Thomas Lickona’s framework of ten essential virtues. This research is important because the novel portrays the moral struggles of adolescents in conditions of economic hardship, family conflict, and social pressure, making it relevant to contemporary character education discourse. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method using content analysis. The data source was the novel Meniti Asa published in 2021 by PT Inti Prima Aksara. Data were collected through hermeneutic reading techniques involving reading, note-taking, classification, and interpretation. The findings reveal 120 data points representing character education values, consisting of wisdom, justice, fortitude, self-control, love, positive attitude, hard work, integrity, gratitude, and humility. Among these values, fortitude emerged as the most dominant virtue, followed by love and positive attitude. Nayla’s moral development reflects resilience, empathy, responsibility, emotional maturity, and self-awareness throughout the conflicts she experiences. The study also demonstrates that Meniti Asa possesses strong pedagogical relevance as a literary medium for strengthening character education in literature learning. Therefore, the novel contributes not only as literary entertainment but also as a meaningful source of moral learning in educational contexts.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has normalized digital translation in higher education, yet its integration into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy remains complicated by an institutional vacuum. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model and Cognitive Load Theory, this study examines university students’ multi-tool strategies and critical engagement with Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and Generative AI (GenAI) platforms. Employing a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, quantitative data were gathered from 165 EFL undergraduates (73.7% female, 72.2% sophomores, 61.1% daily active users) via questionnaires, alongside semi-structured interviews with a purposive sub-sample (n=10).The findings reveal an advanced ecosystem characterized by functional differentiation: students strategically leverage specialized NMT engines like DeepL (38.9%) for academic precision but pivot to GenAI tools like ChatGPT (38.9%) for iterative conversational support. While students report high perceived usefulness (98.8%) and ease of use (96.1%) to minimize extraneous cognitive load, they reject passive consumption. Instead, 94.8% actively engage in critical post-editing due to systemic accuracy limitations regarding cultural nuances. Ethically, although 94.7% view automated assistance as an acceptable cognitive scaffold, the absence of clear institutional rules fosters a transparency gap, causing disclosure anxiety. This study dismantles the traditional narrative of student passivity and argues that higher education must move away from obsolete restrictions toward a framework of guided integration and structured translation literacy.

Abstract

Interjections and exclamatory particles have often been treated as marginal linguistic forms because they appear syntactically detached, semantically unstable, and strongly dependent on context. In poetry, however, these small units may become concentrated sites of rhythm, emotional pressure, tonal transition, and aesthetic organization. This article examines the functions of interjections in Chinese poetry from early and classical traditions to modern poetry. Using a qualitative, text-based design, the study combines close reading, comparative textual analysis, and historical-poetic interpretation. The corpus consists of selected passages from the Canglang song and Chuci tradition, Li Bai’s Shu Dao Nan, Su Shi’s Qian Chibi Fu, Wen Yiduo’s Hongzhu, and selected poems by Mu Dan. The analysis is organized through five operational indicators of what this article calls the poetic shaping function: rhythmic shaping, tonal shaping, structural shaping, subjective or embodied shaping, and cultural shaping. The findings show that in classical poetry forms such as xi, hu, zai, and related exclamatory particles, condense emotion while also regulating cadence and rhetorical pressure. In later classical usage, these particles accumulate cultural memory and transform direct exclamation into lament, reflection, and philosophical modulation. In modern poetry, especially in Wen Yiduo and Mu Dan, interjections become more visible and structurally active: a and o/oh not only express emotion but also organize address, pause, perception, bodily tension, and modern subjectivity. The study argues that interjections are therefore not peripheral residues of speech but formative aesthetic micro-units in Chinese poetic language.

Abstract

One of the communication modes that has been used in society is humor or joke or what people say nowadays as memes. Just like language, which is evolving over time, humor such as memes is also evolving and creating a generational gap between the decades of 2000 and 2020. By using qualitative methods, drawing from subjective experiences by perceiving memes for years before using it on collecting data, considering context, meaning, and interpretation objectively to understand the phenomenon in detail. As well as reviewing, through the social media platforms commonly used by each generation, to understand the pattern and study the transition and evolution in humor that often causes audiences from other generations to lose track of the humor style. The phenomena that brought here is that Gen Z could understand earlier humor styles or memes from the earlier generation, but not the other way around. The children are expected to interpret the parents’ (Baby Boomer) style of humor due to their time spent surfing on the internet and social media, adding their knowledge to understand it, makes them easier to understand many internet cultures, while parents are otherwise. This article also studies the context of some of the main patterns, symbolism, and culture in memes that are usually shared from children to parents. Analyzing and elaborating on meaning, interpretation, and context to be more easily understood and to prevent further misunderstanding that can cause miscommunication between children (Gen Z) and the parents (Baby Boomer).

Abstract

This study analyses the use of ecological meanings in Sinarmas Land's Sustainability Reports (2017–2024), a prominent Indonesian homebuilder. The study employs Arran Stibbe's "Stories We Live By" and Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis methodology. This study employs USAS for corpus-assisted semantic analysis. Semantic tagging helped us find 157 important words in the areas of World and Environment (W), Social Actions and Processes (S), and Government and Public (G). The study shows that three related trends have an effect on environmental discourse. Sustainability is a part of G because of rules that are in line with each other, certification, and compliance frameworks. This gives the government the power to control ecological sustainability. The corporation is an ethical environmental player in the S domain because stories about stewardship, awareness, and community empowerment make environmental duties moral and shared. The last area recognises ecological elements and processes, although they are slowly added to resource optimisation and technologically scientific management. This brings together protecting the environment with new ideas and growth. The results indicate that corporate sustainability discourse constitutes neoliberal environmental governance. This kind of government combines concern for the environment with growth.
