Abstract

This study aims to examine the types of code and their implied meanings in Zoe Kravitz’s film Blink Twice through the lens of semiotic analysis. Utilizing Roland Barthes’s five-code theory (1974), the research investigates how various narrative codes operate within the film’s visual and verbal elements to convey layered meanings. In semiotics, a code is understood as a structured system of signs that communicates meaning—whether through objects, gestures, language, or visual elements. Codes can appear in both verbal and nonverbal forms, making them ubiquitous in cinematic storytelling.This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, analyzing 19 selected data points consisting of both visual and verbal codes from the film. These codes are categorized according to Barthes’s five narrative codes: 5 hermeneutic codes (enigma or mystery elements), 3 proairetic codes (sequential action-driven cues), 2 semantic codes (connotative meanings in dialogue or text), 7 symbolic codes (associated with objects, colors, gestures, or costumes), and 2 cultural codes (references tied to broader cultural knowledge or norms). The findings are systematically presented in tabular form, outlining the frequency and function of each code type. The analysis reveals that Blink Twice constructs meaning through a complex interplay of these narrative codes, inviting viewers to interpret hidden messages embedded within the film’s visuals and dialogue. The study concludes that Barthes’s semiotic framework is effective for decoding the multilayered communication strategies used in contemporary cinema, particularly in films that engage with cultural, psychological, and gender-related themes.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of trauma and defense mechanisms in Zach Braff’s Garden State (2004), focusing on the psychological development of the protagonist, Andrew Largeman. The research investigates how unresolved childhood experiences and strained familial relationships shape Andrew’s emotional detachment and his eventual movement toward self-understanding. Drawing on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory and Anna Freud’s conceptualization of defense mechanisms, this study analyzes selected scenes using a qualitative film-analysis approach that integrates narrative interpretation with cinematographic observation. The findings reveal that Andrew’s trauma is articulated through consistent patterns of emotional suppression and dissociation, which manifest in three primary defense mechanisms: repression, projection, and sublimation. These mechanisms function as psychological strategies that both conceal and expose the depth of Andrew’s unresolved guilt and inner conflict. The study demonstrates that Garden State portrays trauma not merely as a personal burden but as a psychological process that requires confrontation, emotional openness, and relational support to achieve healing.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the practices of alienation and examine how the main character, Monk, confronts and responds to his alienated condition. Directed by Cord Jefferson, American Fiction (2023) portrays the conflict between Monk—a Black writer—and the publishing industry that demands conformity to market-driven stereotypes. As financial pressures mount, Monk is forced to compromise his creative autonomy to meet both economic needs and external expectations. This study employs Karl Marx’s (1977) theory of alienation, which conceptualizes the estrangement of workers from their labor, the act of production, their species-being, and their fellow humans, due to exploitative capitalist conditions. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research analyzes selected scenes and dialogues to identify how these dimensions of alienation manifest in Monk’s experiences. The findings reveal that Monk undergoes all four forms of alienation: from the product of his labor, from the process of writing, from his creative identity, and from others in his personal and professional life. Despite moments of resistance, Monk ultimately chooses to persist within the system of alienation in order to sustain his livelihood. This study highlights the psychological and existential dilemmas faced by creative workers under capitalism, offering insight into the commodification of art and identity in contemporary cultural production.

Abstract

This study analyzes the issue of gender stereotypes as reflected in three characters from Emily Henry’s novel Book Lovers (2022). Employing a qualitative approach, the research focuses on describing and interpreting the characters' behaviors, personality traits, and social roles to uncover how gender expectations are constructed and challenged within the narrative. The analysis is grounded in Sandra Bem’s Gender Schema Theory (1981), which provides a framework for understanding how individuals internalize and perform gender roles based on societal norms. The findings reveal that the novel portrays a range of gendered traits—femininity, masculinity, and androgyny—across both male and female characters. The main character, Nora Stephens, in particular, subverts traditional gender stereotypes by embracing traits typically associated with masculinity, such as ambition and assertiveness, while also engaging with her emotional and relational self. Meanwhile, male characters are shown to exhibit qualities traditionally coded as feminine, such as empathy and vulnerability. Ultimately, the study concludes that Book Lovers presents a nuanced exploration of gender identity, illustrating how characters can resist and redefine stereotypes. By doing so, the novel supports a more flexible and inclusive understanding of gender, in line with Bem’s concept of androgyny as a path to psychological adaptability and self-development.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of paronomasia, or wordplay, in the product names and advertising captions of Emina Cosmetics on Instagram. Drawing from Delabastita’s (1996) typology of puns—homonyms, homophones, homographs, and paronyms—the research aims to identify the types and functions of paronomasia employed in Emina’s marketing strategies. Using a qualitative descriptive method, 21 Instagram posts from March 2015 to July 2024 were selected through purposive sampling. The analysis reveals that Emina Cosmetics utilizes various forms of paronomasia not only to attract attention and entertain audiences but also to build brand identity, enhance memorability, and subtly persuade consumers. The findings demonstrate that humorous and aesthetic language styles are prevalent, often blending Indonesian and English wordplay to appeal to a youthful, bilingual audience. This linguistic creativity reflects sociolinguistic trends in digital advertising, where informal, playful language contributes to engagement and emotional resonance. The study contributes to discourse analysis by highlighting how brands leverage linguistic devices to construct meaning and influence consumer perception. It also suggests practical implications for content creators and marketers seeking to integrate linguistic innovation into brand communication. Further research is encouraged to explore cross-cultural variations in pun-based advertising and its reception across different demographic segments

Abstract

This study examines the representation of racial prejudice in Traci Chee’s historical novel. The narrative recounts the traumatic experiences of a group of Japanese American teenagers who were forcibly displaced from their homes and confined in internment camps, where they endured systemic discrimination and profound loss during World War II. The objectives of this research are twofold: first, to identify and analyze the various forms of racial prejudice depicted in the novel; and second, to explore the ways in which Japanese Americans respond to such prejudice. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzes selected textual excerpts using Gordon Allport’s theory of prejudice (1954) as its primary theoretical framework. The findings reveal that racial prejudice is manifested through multiple forms, including antilocution, discrimination, segregation, and physical violence. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates that Japanese Americans respond to these injustices through diverse strategies such as enlisting in the military, fostering solidarity within their community, and engaging in acts of protest.

Abstract

This study examines the portrayal of obsessive behavior in Jade Halley Bartlett’s Miller’s Girl (2024), focusing on the psychological dynamics between the two central characters, Cairo and Mr. Miller. The research investigates how emotional factors such as loneliness, unmet psychological needs, and emotional neglect shape the characters’ mental states and contribute to the development of obsessive attachments. Grounded in Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, this study employs a qualitative descriptive method, analyzing selected scenes and dialogues that illustrate patterns of obsession and psychological disturbance. The findings indicate that Cairo’s obsession emerges from parental absence and her intense need for validation, whereas Mr. Miller’s fixation is rooted in emotional rejection within his marriage and his desire to regain a sense of worth through Cairo’s admiration. Both characters rely on rationalization as a defense mechanism, though they employ it in markedly different ways to justify or manage their behaviors. This study highlights how obsessive tendencies are constructed within cinematic narratives and contributes to literary psychology research by demonstrating the relevance of psychoanalytic theory in interpreting contemporary film portrayals of mental and emotional instability

Abstract

This study examines the patriarchal structures in Jennifer Saint's novel Ariadne through Sylvia Walby's theoretical framework, which distinguishes between private and public patriarchy. Employing a qualitative method, this research analyzes textual data to reveal how these interconnected systems shape the experiences of female characters like Ariadne, Phaedra, and Pasiphaë. The findings demonstrate that patriarchal control within the household (private) and through state and religious institutions (public) systematically limits women's roles, silences their voices, and erases their agency. This study underscores the value of feminist myth-retellings in critiquing enduring gender inequalities, highlighting Ariadne's significance as a contemporary literary intervention

Abstract

This study examined the phenomenon of code-switching in Ika Natassa’s speech on the Makna Talks podcast. Hoffman's (1991) theory was applied to identify the types of code-switching and the reasons for their use in Ika Natassa’s speech. A qualitative descriptive method was used to analyze utterances from the YouTube video transcript of the Makna Talks podcast. The study found 53 instances of code-switching. Intra-sentential switching was the most dominant type with 38 occurrences, followed by inter-sentential switching with 16 occurrences. Establishing continuity of the speaker appeared in 2 instances, while emblematic switching occurred only once. The most frequent reason identified in Ika Natassa’s speech was talking about particular topics, which occurred 34 times. Other reasons included quoting someone else, found in 5 instances, being emphatic about something, found in 3 instances, using interjections, found in 2 instances, and repetition for clarification, found in 3 instances. No instances of clarifying speech were identified, while expressing group identity appeared in 6 instances. Overall, the most dominant reason was talking about a particular topic. This study contributes to the sociolinguistic understanding of bilingual communication in digital media and highlights the influence of social and linguistic factors on language choice
