Abstract

The study aims to analyze how the main character in The Karate Kid (2010) achieves self-actualization needs in an intercultural setting. Employing close-reading to analyze the text, the study uses Maslow’s (2013) hierarchy of needs and Rogers’ (1967) five characteristics of a fully functioning person as the theoretical frameworks. It also uses Bordwell, Thompson and Smith’s film form (2017) as a tool to analyze the cinematic aspects of the film. The current study finds that Dre Parker, the main character in the film, successfully achieves self-actualization after fulfilling the four preceding needs, which are physiological, safety and security, love and belongingness, and self-esteem. It is also found that he expresses self-actualization through the five characteristics of a fully functioning person: openness to experience, existential living, trust feelings, creativity, and fulfilled life. Furthermore, the study concludes that the main character’s young age and cultural background do not hinder him from reaching self-actualization. In fact, self-actualization contributes to unite disparate cultures to a certain extent.

Abstract

Bullying is a pattern of negative behavior, not an occasional incident, which still occurs frequently in society. In most cases, bullying happens to children at school. As the issue has received much public attention, bullying is commonly featured in numerous literary works, one of which is in the children's film by Joe Cornish, The Kid Who Would Be King (2019). Through analysis under the framework of film theory by Bordwell and Thompson (2016) and Foucault's (1995) theoretical framework of power, the film portrayed bullying toward students in school through the film's cinematography, sound, and mise-en-scène. The imbalance of power between the bullies and the bullied is the main factor causing acts of bullying. It shows in the difference of individual aspects such as body sizes and social standings in school, which the bullies usually have the more advantageous aspect than the bullied. The advantageous aspect makes the bullies superior, giving them a chance to cause negative impacts on the bullied personalities intentionally. The negative impact of bullying can lower the bullied self-esteem, making them feel worthless as an individual. Since bullying is also a critical issue that needs to explore further, the researcher conducts a textual analysis study to provide references to readers about bullying in children's films and raise awareness about bullying against children in schools.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the types of code-switching and code-mixing used by an Indonesian VTuber and the functions behind them. The data are taken from a live-streamed video of an Indonesian VTuber, Kobo Kanaeru, on YouTube. Descriptive qualitative method is employed in conducting this research. Several theories are used in the analyzing process of this research, such as Hoffmann (2017), Wardhaugh (2005), and Crystal (2008) to identify and analyze the code-switching and code-mixing types. Hoffman (2017) is also used to analyze the functions of the code-switching and code-mixing. The findings of this research discover that intra-sentential switching and intra-sentential mixing are the dominant types of code-switching and code-mixing. This shows that Kobo preferred to do code-switching and code-mixing for shorter English clauses and words only, and it indicates that Kobo is not very fluent in speaking English. It is also found that Kobo used code-switching and code-mixing mostly to talk about a particular topic. It is because in her live-streamed video, she only talks about the game she is playing in her live-streaming or other topics that comes from her viewers in the comment section.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the short movie Runaway, directed by a Chicago artist and musician, Kanye West, to find the meaning stored in the sign in the work using Roland Barthes’ (1977) semiotic theory. This theory interprets things like words, images, sounds, gestures, and objects to embrace any system of signs regardless of their nature and limitations. According to Barthes (1977), signs are divided into two types, which are denotative and connotative. Denotative is the most apparent meaning of the symbol while connotative describes a concept that is connected to a word or evoked by an emotion or a cultural value. The study has revealed that there are five significant signs in Runaway, in which Kanye West, who is the main character, runs in a forest, a herd of deer, ballerinas in black costumes, the phoenix, and Ku Klux Klan organization. This finding suggests that analyzing literary work like movies, songs, novels, and other forms of art needs more than just literal meaning. There could be other meanings underlying the printed texts or images, which can reveal the cultural values behind the work.

Abstract

The Indonesian national law states that the National Education System could be universally implemented in a complete and totally integrated manner. There are three key words to ponder: universal, complete, and integrated. As a replacement, a complement, and/or a supplement to formal education, community education ideally should have had an appropriate system and management. The present study aims to reveal issues in the implementation of community education in Indonesia as represented on an online media and to examine the solutions to those problems. The existence of such problems under investigation makes the values of the National Education System, namely universality, completeness, and integration appear to be impracticable. Under the framework of a qualitative method, this study used a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of Fairclough’s tradition (1997). The selected texts from an online media, called the Jakarta Post, were analysed by following the method and stages of dialectical-relational approach (Fairclough, 2013). The analysis was not only leaned on textual analysis, but also covered an inter-discursive analysis. This study reveals that there is a ‘social wrong’, namely the overwhelming level of responsibility possessed by community education. Generally, the problems of community education can be solved through the collaboration of various elements in the society. The Central Government, specifically, the Ministry of Education, should deal with and implement feasible programs starting from solving the philosophical issues: the different concepts of educating and teaching, being adaptive (able to deal with the current issues to be placed in pedagogical practices), and a fair distribution of funding (expenses for providing infrastructure). This form of contemplation can be considered to be a part of an essential discourse analysis to comprehend the dialectics of semiotic elements and textual evidence. Moreover, this study also shows that there are still many actual problems in the Indonesian education sector.

Abstract

This study examines the interactive meaning and level of realness in three Public Service Announcement poster for Covid-19. The data are in the form of pictures and they are obtained through accessing and downloading them from The Directorate of Health Promotion and Community Empowerment of Indonesian Ministry of Health’s Website. This study used qualitative approach since the researcher was trying to observe, interpret, and understand how an in-depth analysis of visual elements is used to make meaning out of a social phenomenon product which in this case are PSA posters. The theoretical framework used for this study is visual grammar by Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (2006) to analyze the interactive meaning and the degree of realness. The results of the study show that in term of the interactive meaning, the represented participant mostly look directly into the viewers which create a demanding gaze, it can be said that the producer of the PSA for Covid-19 in Indonesia intended to create some sort of persuasion for the viewers as the interactive participants to take some actions or to do something. Additionally, the Public Service Announcement also made in a way that encourage viewers to relate themselves with the represented participant and making both the viewers and the represented participant hold the same level of power. In terms of the degree of realness, it is also revealed that the PSA tends to give high value of realness or modality.
