Abstract

Different genres are used to address bullying as a social problem. This research investigates bullying in a film, Wonder (2017) which uses an elementary school as the locus of the story. The research aims to determine how the film depicts bullying in an elementary school and what messages are conveyed from the presentations. The researcher uses Coloroso's (2015) theory of bullying and Boggs Petrie's (2008) theory of characterization in films to analyze the presentation of bullying in films and the messages conveyed from the presentation. The research discovered that there are three types of bullying depicted in the film. They are verbal, physical, and relational bullying. The findings indicate that bullying does happen in elementary schools, the bullying victim tends to remain silent, and people around the victim tend to ignore the occurrence. The film suggests that bullying is an issue for society to be aware of. The research then suggests that this kind of issue should be addressed in other literary genres as bullying presentation in literary genres can be used as the tool for learning the ways to solve bullying and sharing perspectives of people who are affected by bullying.

Abstract

Bullying is a phenomenon that is commonly known in society. It usually refers to an act of someone hurting other people intentionally. The depiction of bullying includes unpleasant actions to someone. Bullying is present in the stories titled My Secret Bully (2005), Just Kidding (2006), and Trouble Talk (2008) by Trudy Ludwig which are the subject of this text analysis. The purpose of this study is to understand the representation of acts of bullying in the stories along with meanings construed from it. Using the story scripts as its data source, this study is consequently qualitative, employing textual analysis to explore the data. The study uses Hall’s (1997) theory of representation and Foucault’s (1982) theoretical framework of power. Based on the analysis, the study finds that power is used by the bullies, the bullied, and adults for their own respective interests. The study reveals that children have the potential to bully and adults' role is essential in handling bullying. It is also implied that adults should play a more active role and should not underestimate children’s discourse. Therefore, this study signifies an awareness-raising on the bullying issue and that the notion of power play can be found in children’s discourse.

Abstract

This study analyzed the online media representation of Audrey’s bullying issue by identifying the appraisal devices used in reporting the case of Audrey in five news portals. The study aimed to reveal the reporting strategy by exploring the appraisal devices and identifying the potential representational meanings.  The data included five news related to Audrey’s Bullying in 2019, analyzed by grouping the clauses to mark engagement, attitude, and graduation used in language according to Martin and White’s (2005) Appraisal System. The appraisal analysis shows that all of the five news portals dominantly used Engagement (Monogloss-Heterogloss) and Attitude (Judgement) to construct their news discourse. The five news portals also show a rather similar negative-reaction to the issue. However, the use of the appraisal devices of these five news portals varied in accordance with the context and the main focus of the news, contributing to the news’ representation which covers specific perspective, generalization, and victimization.

Abstract

Revenge is often manifested in aggressive attacks to seek justice. Many literary works, including films, have brought up this issue by emphasizing the cruelty of revenge. In this regard, this research intends to unfold another interpretation for revenge. It is presented by the vindictive character of the Film The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). In this film, Martin takes revenge on Steven implicitly. The analysis draws on the theory of revenge from McCullough (2008). As the theory highlights, taking revenge exposes desires for revenge. These desires are natural responses from the vindictive person who gets offended by the transgressor. For instance, Martin desires to confirm the crime done by Steven and wishes Steven to admit it. Martin then begins to transform his desire into several acts of revenge: (1) implicit intimidation, (2) intruding Steven’s private space, (3) casting ‘spell’, and (4) committing homicide. Further, Bordwell, Thompson, and Smith's (2017) cinematic features also manifest evidence for these implicit attacks. Therefore, the analysis shows that Martin retaliates to Steven in implicit aggression. Martin reveals his vengeance in the film through his reasons and the manifestation of acts for revenge.  Keywords: Film analysis, Revenge, The Killing of a Sacred Deer

Abstract

Move analysis is a genre-based approach used to analyze academic writing and investigate the rhetorical pattern of the text such as academic paper, abstracts, thesis, etc. However, the analysis of rhetorical moves in the abstracts of lecturers’ final papers in different disciplines remains unexplored. The aim of this study is to identify and compare the rhetorical moves, steps, and linguistic features of the abstract of lecturers from four different disciplines. The researchers focused on the abstract of master theses and dissertations from each discipline. This study analyzed eight abstracts from English lecturers for the soft science field, Mathematic and Architectural lecturers for the hard science field in Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The Five Move Analysis by Hyland (2004) is used as the framework of this study. The findings showed that Move 1 - Introduction was the most common move in hard science abstracts, while in soft science, it was Move 4 - Product. Moreover, the most occur step in both fields was Step 2 of Move 1 – Making topic generalization and Step 1 of Move 5 – Deducing conclusion. For linguistics features, both of the fields mostly used active voice. While for the tense, hard science tended to use present tense, but soft science inclined to use past tense. The findings show that each field has different tendencies yet similarities in writing abstracts to highlight the essential things on each abstract.
