Abstract

Music and song are vehicles of meanings, hence, depictions of women can be presented through them. This study investigates women’s portrayal in selected Billboard’s Year-End Chart songs through its significations which includes denotation, connotation, and myth constructed in the lyrics. Three major theoretical frameworks were used in this present study. The first theory is two orders of signification from Roland Barthes (1957) which was used to analyze the selected songs. The second theory is the bases of social power from French Raven (1959). The third theory is resilience model from Benard (2004). The findings reveal that in connotation level women are portrayed as powerful and resilient. The findings indicate that as a powerful being, women possess certain types of powers. Meanwhile as a resilient being, women possess particular qualities of resilience. From gender stereotype perspective, the myth implies that women possess dominating agency dimension alongside communion and competence dimensions, which implies that stereotype on women is not likely to be rigid.Keywords: Barthes’ two orders of signification, portrayal, powerful, resilient, women.

Abstract

The issue of power is prevalent in society today. Focusing on analyzing power issues in an intercultural marriage, Raven’s (2008) bases of power are applied in this research to investigate the matter. The issue is analyzed in a memoir by Susan Blumberg-Kason entitled Good Chinese Wife (2014) which tells about the conflicts in an intercultural marriage. This research aims to identify the types of power proposed by Raven (2008) used by the husband, to exercise his power over his wife and how it is exercised. The only visible types of power in the memoir are expert power, referent power, and coercive power. In addition, the conflict that is caused by superiority becomes the main conflict in their marriage life since it occurs in every three types of power. The husband can exercise his power over his wife because he takes advantage of her love for the husband’s culture, which in this case is Chinese culture. The results of the study show that power can be constructed in the name of love.  Keywords: culture; intercultural marriage; memoir; power; superiority.

Abstract

In this early emergence, dystopia is not only built by authoritarian oppression but it can be constructed by every individual in the society. This paper intended to analyze how dystopia is constructed through equal power in James Hawes’s 2016 series entitled Black Mirror, particularly in Hated in the Nation episode. A number of issues in this episode are analyzed by Foucault’s power relation theory. In order to determine whether the power network in the society creates dystopia or not, critical dystopia theory is presented by Booker (1994) and Moylan (2000). Since the main causes of dystopia in this episode are technology and social media, theory about technology progress and human regress is proposed by Jonas in Durdan (2013). The data were collected by sorting out some frames and dialogs throughout the episode. It is found that the vicious cycle of hatred is difficult to break so it creates a deteriorating society. The analysis is expected to contribute other elements in postmodern dystopia narrative.Keywords: Black Mirror, Dystopia, Mass Media, Postmodern Dystopia, Power Relation.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the portrayal of power dynamics in Leigh Bardugo’s young adult novel Six of Crows. The study uses qualitative descriptive method to analyze how power dynamics is portrayed in the novel. Data was collected through textual evidence that showcases the exercise of power and analyzed based on Foucault’s (1982) theory of power. The study finds that power dynamics is portrayed through a series of conflicts between the six main characters. These conflicts are mostly verbal. Power is exercised in the form of arguments and bickers, in which of the six characters attempt to constantly gain authority and power over one another. Among the six characters, conflicts and exercise of power can be found in four notable character pairings. The power that is exercised is seen through exploitation of one’s desires, expressions of judgment and hatred, as well as physical conflict in some cases.Keywords: Characters, Foucault, Power, Power dynamics, Six of crows, Young adult.
