Abstract

Women’s subordination is one of the most prevalent topics in the study of feminism. One of the novels that portrays the issues of women’s subordination in Indonesia is Eka Kurniawan’s magical realism novel titled Beauty is a Wound (2015). By applying descriptive qualitative approach and textual analysis method, the study analyzes how women’s subordination is portrayed in the novel based on Juliet Mitchell’s (1966) socialist feminist theory. The study found that women’s subordination occurred in four sectors of production, reproduction, sexuality, and socialization. Women’s subordination is portrayed through the men and women characters’ actions, behaviors, and thoughts. The study also found that women’s subordination in every sector is interrelated and occurs frequently in the sexuality sector. It can be implied from the portrayal that women’s subordination is a rampant issue in Indonesia, especially in terms of women’s sexuality. Keywords: Beauty is a Wound, magical realism, socialist feminism, women’s subordination

Abstract

This study attempts to investigate and give a comprehensive account of persuasive techniques and linguistic features in local fashion brands’ advertisements on Instagram, along with the influence of persuasive techniques towards the implementation of linguistic features in the advertisements. To figure it out, this study gathered the data from five captions on recent Instagram posts of Cotton Ink and Look Boutique Store. Using persuasive techniques proposed by Kleppner (1986) and linguistic features in advertising proposed by Grey (2008), the study revealed that the two advertisements had all of three types of persuasive techniques; namely pioneering stage, competitive stage, and retentive stage. In terms of linguistic features, the advertising copywriters used 12 out of 20 types of linguistic features in these two advertisements. Furthermore, the use of persuasive techniques affects the implementation of lexical features in these two brands’ advertisements. Since competitive aims to make the products seem better and unique than the others, the advertisers had to use attractive words or terms to make people believe that the products have a superiority than the other similar products. It also affects the syntactic features, hence the advertisers tend to inform it in long noun phrases with detailed explanations of the products which make them seemed superior. Moreover, the advertisers used present tense to make the customers feel as if the benefits of the superior product they will get will last for a long time. Keywords: Advertisement, Instagram, language feature, linguistic feature, local brand, persuasive language

Abstract

Research on text modifications has been around since the 80s until the present day. These studies have come a long way from manual text modification methods to the use of computerized models in its present form. However, there seems to be no resolution to the question of whether modified texts can help language learning. This study went back to the basics, manually modifying a text to find out whether it can help non-native English readers’ English reading comprehension. A text taken from a semiotic textbook was modified using the text modification strategies outlined by Parker Chaudron (1987). The text was then given to an experiment group comprising of 7th semester students studying linguistics at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Having read the text, these students were given a written test alongside a questionnaire. Their scores and their attitudes toward the modified text (from the written test the questionnaire, respectively) were taken to measure and compare with the scores and attitudes of a control group reading the original text. The results showed a difference between the scores of students in the control group and those in the experiment group, with the latter having more students who scored high. There are also more students in the experiment group with a positive attitude toward the text they read compared to those in the control group. However, the difference in scores proved to be statistically not significant, and also most students who viewed the modified text positively scored low on the written test. Keywords: Elaboration of text, simplification of text, text modifications

Abstract

The issues regarding gender hegemony in literary works have been widely discussed; yet only few relate the issue to non-human characters. Non-human characters, in this case, are characters which are technologically made and thought-driven being with a lesser capacity for emotion. This study was conducted to investigate how gender hegemony for non-human characters is constructed in a film. The non-human characters that were analyzed are K and Joi from Blade Runner 2049 (2017), a science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve. K is portrayed as a male synthetic being called the replicant, while Joi is portrayed as a female holographic digital companion called a DiJi. To investigate gender hegemony among the characters, this study applied Schipper’s (2007) framework of gender hegemony, Boggs and Petrie’s (2008) theory of characterization, and Heintz and Stracey’s (2006) film elements to analyze the hierarchy of masculinity and femininity in the film. The analysis revealed that the gender hegemony in the film is constructed through the exploitation of characterization, particularly between K and Joi who are presented with stereotypical hierarchical gender characteristics. These stereotypical characteristics created a gendered hegemony revolving around three major themes, namely love, loyalty, and revenge. Further exploration implies that, because the gender hegemony is very embedded in the film, the filmmaker could not offer an alternative of male-female relationships for non-human characters. Keywords: Blade Runner, femininity, gender hegemony, masculinity, non-human characters
