Abstract

Background. Language plays a pivotal role in shaping political power and influencing public opinion. Through syntax, rhetorical strategies, and discourse structures, political and media discourses manipulate language to persuade, construct ideologies, and reinforce power dynamics. Understanding the linguistic strategies used in these contexts is essential for analyzing how political narratives are constructed and how media discourse frames societal issues. Purpose. This study aims to explore the syntactic and linguistic strategies employed in political and media discourse, focusing on how these strategies serve to exert power, persuade audiences, and reinforce ideological structures. The research seeks to identify common patterns of persuasion and power dynamics within language use and to evaluate their impact on public perception. Method. A qualitative approach is used, with a combination of discourse analysis and syntactic analysis to examine political speeches, media articles, and televised debates. Data is collected from a range of political figures, media outlets, and speeches within the last decade to assess the contemporary use of language as a tool for persuasion and ideological influence. Results. The findings indicate that political and media discourses employ complex syntactic structures, including parallelism, modality, and presupposition, to assert authority and influence audience beliefs. These strategies are closely tied to ideological positioning, with frequent use of inclusive language to consolidate power and exclusive language to marginalize opposition. Conclusion. This research highlights the role of syntax in shaping political and media narratives. Understanding these linguistic strategies allows for a deeper analysis of how power and persuasion function within public discourse, contributing to the manipulation of public opinion and the reinforcement of social and political hierarchies.

Abstract

Background. Modern world literature has increasingly become a critical site for negotiating identity in the context of shifting gender relations, contested memories, and evolving cultural politics. Literary texts produced in diverse sociopolitical contexts reflect ongoing struggles over representation, power, and belonging, particularly as global and local forces intersect to reshape individual and collective identities. Purpose. This study aims to examine how modern world literature rewrites identity through the interconnected lenses of gender, memory, and cultural politics, highlighting literature’s role in challenging dominant narratives and rearticulating marginalized voices. Method. The study employs a qualitative interpretative approach using comparative literary analysis informed by feminist theory, memory studies, and cultural criticism. Selected literary works from different cultural and geopolitical contexts are analyzed through close reading to identify recurring themes, narrative strategies, and ideological positions. Results. The findings reveal that literary narratives reconstruct identity by destabilizing fixed gender norms, reworking personal and collective memory, and contesting hegemonic cultural discourses. Memory functions as a narrative tool for resistance, while gendered experiences shape alternative representations of history and power. Literature emerges as a space where cultural politics are negotiated through storytelling and narrative form. Conclusion. This study concludes that modern world literature plays a transformative role in rewriting identity by integrating gender, memory, and cultural politics, thereby contributing to more inclusive and pluralistic understandings of contemporary social realities.

Abstract

Background. In post-globalization societies, literature has become a critical arena for articulating tensions between hegemonic power structures and emerging forms of resistance. As economic, political, and cultural globalization assume fragmented and uneven trajectories, literary narratives increasingly reflect complex social transformations, identity negotiations, and power asymmetries that are often marginalized in dominant discourses. Purpose. This study aims to examine how literary texts represent power and resistance as interconnected forces shaping social transformation in post-globalization contexts. Method. Employing a qualitative interpretative approach, this study uses critical literary analysis informed by postcolonial theory and cultural studies. Selected contemporary novels from diverse geopolitical regions are analyzed to identify narrative strategies, character constructions, and symbolic representations of power relations and resistance practices. Results. The findings reveal that literary works portray power not solely as an oppressive structure but also as a dynamic process contested through everyday resistance, counter-narratives, and reimagined identities. Literature functions as a space of symbolic resistance, enabling marginalized voices to challenge dominant ideologies and propose alternative social imaginaries. Conclusion. This study concludes that post-globalization literature plays a transformative role by mediating social critique and envisioning possibilities for emancipatory change, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of contemporary social transformation.

Abstract

Background. Historical narratives are critical in shaping both political power and social structures within societies. These narratives not only reflect past events but also contribute to the construction of collective identities and the legitimization of political authority. Understanding how these narratives influence cultural change is crucial for examining the interplay between political power and societal transformation across different contexts. Purpose. This study aims to explore the relationship between political power, historical narratives, and cultural change by examining how social structures are depicted and reshaped through historical accounts in various political regimes. The research compares the role of these narratives in societies with different political systems, including monarchies, democracies, and authoritarian states. Method. A comparative historical analysis is employed, focusing on key historical narratives from selected societies. Textual analysis of primary sources, alongside secondary literature, is used to identify the ways in which historical events are framed to reinforce or challenge political power and social hierarchies. Results. The study reveals that historical narratives serve as powerful tools for consolidating political power, often manipulating cultural memory to legitimize dominant social structures. However, these narratives also provide spaces for contestation, allowing alternative perspectives and social movements to challenge established norms. Conclusion. This research concludes that historical narratives are central to the dynamics of political power and cultural change, offering insights into how societies negotiate social structures through the lens of history.

Abstract

Background. Visual culture plays a pivotal role in shaping public discourse, influencing ideologies, and reflecting societal norms. Art, media, and other visual forms serve as critical tools for conveying messages that not only represent but also construct and reinforce dominant power structures, beliefs, and identities. As visual communication becomes increasingly pervasive in the digital age, understanding its impact on ideology is essential for unpacking how societal values are formed and contested. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between visual culture and ideology, focusing on how art and media shape public discourse. Purpose. This research aims to investigate how visual representations influence political, social, and cultural ideologies and contribute to the reinforcement or subversion of power structures in society. Method. A qualitative, critical discourse analysis was used to examine a range of visual media, including artworks, advertisements, social media content, and news media. The analysis focuses on identifying ideological messages embedded in visual representations and their role in shaping public understanding and opinion. Results. The study finds that visual culture plays a crucial role in shaping ideological discourse, with art and media acting as vehicles for both reinforcing and challenging dominant societal values. Key themes identified include identity construction, political power, and the commodification of social issues. Conclusion. The research concludes that visual culture is an influential force in the construction of ideology. Understanding the ideological functions of visual media provides crucial insights into how societies negotiate power, identity, and values in a visually-driven world.
