Abstract

This research aims to analyse translation shifts of nominal and verbal groups found in the Indonesian subtitle of The Revenant film, and observe how translation shifts affect the meanings. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data are taken from the transcription and subtitle of The Revenant film. This study follows Halliday and Matthiessen’s (2004) concept of nominal group and verbal group (transitivity) and Catford’s (1965) theory of translation shifts which includes level shift, structure shift, unit shift, class shift, and intra-system shift. The analysis shows that the process of translating involves single and double translation shifts. In nominal groups, the shifts were dominated by unit + intra-system shifts (40.87%). While in verbal groups, the shifts were dominated by intra-system shift (71.70%). Both shifts slightly affect the meanings of the translated text. This study suggests that linguistic analysis could provide research-based samples of how the experts conducted translation. Keywords: translation shift, nominal group, verbal group, the revenant, film subtitle

Abstract

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) directed by James Gunn presents a set of heroes that are different from the majorities of the other heroes, especially in terms of how they develop into heroes. The study examines the hero construction in Guardians of the Galaxy by using Campbell’s (2004) theory of hero construction as the theoretical guidelines. The qualitative method is used in this study to gain a deeper understanding of the construction. The findings show that the heroes are constructed in ways similar to the stages in Campbell’s theoretical proposition. The constructions are also very much influenced by external factors that the heroes meet. From the construction, the heroes in Guardians of the Galaxy are shown to develop from characters devoid of moral values, instead of characters with noble morals as frequently shown by the majorities of the other heroes. The heroes in Guardians of the Galaxy are also portrayed to have more human qualities in their construction which makes them more rounded. Keywords: hero, hero journey, hero construction, hero construction stages

Abstract

Isolation and estrangement is probably still one of the most recurring themes in today’s literature. Haruki Murakami, a renowned contemporary novelist, often adapted the theme of alienation and the endless search for true freedom in his works. Written as a a bildungsroman novel by depicting the life of a troubled young adult protagonist, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage is Murakami’s recent work which also highlights the alienation issue. Abandoned by his group of close friends without any apparent reason, Tsukuru is haunted by the feeling of loneliness and unreasonable guilt which drives him to yearn for death. Employing Irene Taviss’ (1969) theory as a framework, this study aims to discuss the representation of social and self-alienation of the main characters in the latest Haruki Murakami’s novel. It is shown that Tsukuru experiences both social and self-alienation that estranges and also torments him mentally. Moreover, the findings also discover that Tsukuru’s self-alienation is mostly triggered by the social alienation event that he experienced in the past, representing that self and social alienation is interlinked to each other. Keywords: Social and self-alienation, escapist resolutions

Abstract

Kelas Internasional, an Indonesian TV series depicting the dynamics of a class consisting of students of different nationalities, has a Nigerian character named Abbas, who is the only African student in the story. It is quite uncommon in Indonesian films to have an African playing as the main character; this study thus aims to analyze how the African character Abbas is represented in the TV series Kelas International. Adopting a qualitative descriptive method, the study draws on Hall’s (1997) theory of representation, Said’s (1979) Orientalism, and Doh’s (2009) stereotyping Africa to delve into the representations of Abbas. The study also employs Heintz and Stracey’s (2008) film theory, focusing primarily on the elements of mise en scène and the soundtracks, to understand how the representation of Abbas is constructed through film elements. The data analysis reveals that the character Abbas is primarily represented in a negative light: being educationally backward, economically poor, and attitude-wise impolite. This study indicates that Kelas Internasional tends to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Africans, rather than counter them. This study is expected to not only contribute to the field of postcolonial studies, but more importantly to raise Indonesian people’s critical awareness of implicit messages embedded in literary works. Keywords: postcolonial study, representation, African stereotypes, Indonesian TV series

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze The Little Prince film using Marxism. The Little Prince film was released in 2015 with Mark Osborne as the director. This film was adapted from its book, but it tells the story from a different angle, which in turn changes the meaning of the film in some ways. A number of issues in the film can be analyzed from Marxism. The Little Prince film appears to highlight current thinking adopted by the society about work. Specifically, employing a qualitative research approach, this paper reveals the various representations of capitalism embedded in the film and the social class distinction that is portrayed. The analysis is expected to raise critical awareness among the audience of the ideologies embedded in the film. Keywords: The Little Prince, film, Marxist approach, capitalism, social class

Abstract

The research aims to investigate the types of Sundanese slang used by teenagers on a social media LINE and the social factors influencing the use of slang. This research applies a descriptive qualitative research method. The participants of this research were 28 students of a senior high school in Bandung, whose ages are in the middle of 16-18. The data were collected through conversations on social media LINE. To analyze the data, the theory proposed by Allan and Burridge (2006) and other theory of slang types were implemented to identify the types of Sundanese slang. To examine possible factors which influence the use of Sundanese slang by the teenagers, this study uses Holmes (2003) social factors and social dimensions of language use. The findings reveal that the participants express slang on social media LINE. Those slang words are categorized into five types. However, the Sundanese slang found in this research only matched with the two types: imitative type and clipping type. In addition there are two other types of slang found in the research outside the categories proposed by Allan and Burridge (2006), namely loan or borrowing and back slang. The most widely used type of slang is clipping type with 57 %, followed by imitative type with 20%, loan/borrowing type with 20%, and back slang with 3%. The teenagers tend to use the clipping type because they want to write as fast as possible, in order to save a bit of their time. Furthermore, the findings show that there are three social factors influencing the use of slang by the teenagers, namely participants, settings, and topics. This study confirms Zhou (2013), Pedersen (2009), Reyes (2005), and Tannen (1996) who state that male tends to use more slang rather than the female. The present research is also in line with Richter (2006) and Reyes (2005) who claim that the use of slang is influenced by the topics. However, this study contradicts Warsa (2013) who asserts that Sundanese slang is not influenced by other languages and there is almost no clipping on it. Whereas, the results of the present research show that the Sundanese slang used by the youth is influenced by Indonesian and English, and the most frequent slang used by the youth is the clipping type. Keywords: Slang, Sundanese slang, social media, slang types, and social factors

Abstract

In the earlier films produced by Disney, the female main characters are dominated by white-skinned women. Disney’s films that have non-white female main characters just emerged at the end of the 20th century. However, the question whether white women and non-white women maintain the same qualities are still going on. Thus, this study investigates the representation of Disney’s white and non-white women in Brave (2012) and Moana (2016) produced by Walt Disney Studios in the 21st century. Adopting a qualitative method, this present study analyzes the female main characters’ characterizations which are drawn upon Boggs and Petrie’s (2008) framework of characterization in films. The study also employs Corrigan’s (2010) framework of mise-en-scene to strengthen the analysis. The findings reveal that Disney’s white and non-white women are represented differently. Disney’s white women tend to be represented as a rebellious female main character in the domestic sphere. On the other hand, Disney’s non-white women represent a devoted female main character in the realm of the public sphere. Despite the differences, both female main characters represent a new archetype of Disney’s princess who is more egalitarian, brave and not dependent on men. Keywords: women representation, white and non-white, domestic and public sphere
