Abstract

This study examines how grief functions within the narrative structure of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, addressing a gap left by previous research focused primarily on translation, trauma, and player experience. Combining A. J. Greimas’s actantial model and modalities with Janet Murray’s concept of cyberdrama, the study utilizes qualitative textual analysis of narrative events, dialogues, gameplay sequences, and cyberdramatic structures across three acts. The findings reveal that grief operates as a modal intensifier, sustaining the characters' orientation toward action (vouloir-faire) despite shifts in subjects, objects, and knowledge. Additional exploration and optional content further drive this narrative motivation rather than diminishing it. Consequently, this study offers a new structural perspective, showing how grief operates within interactive systems.

Abstract

This article examines the novel Oni Jouska by Asep Ardian through an ecocritical approach, focusing on the subject-object relationship between humans and nature. Using the theoretical framework of ecocriticism from Cheryll Glotfelty, Lawrence Buell, and Greg Garrard, this study analyzes three main aspects: (1) the use of narrative strategies of via negativa and defamiliarization; (2) the symbolism of character names as an ecological map; and (3) The Great Pacific Garbage Patch as a setting of ecopolitical significance. The findings show that the novel consistently deconstructs the anthropocentric paradigm through the perspectives of marginalized marine creatures. The novel functions simultaneously as an ecological manifesto, a spiritual reflection, and a philosophical critique of human domination over nature.

Abstract

Verbs are vital in political news for representing actions and shaping events, yet previous research rarely analyzes their morphological, semantic, and syntactic aspects comprehensively. This study examines these integrated dimensions using a qualitative content analysis approach. The data consists of 92 verbs extracted from the political news text “Violence by Authorities Is Not Easily Resolved,” published in Kompas (April 16, 2026). Data were collected via observation and note-taking. The results show that the verbs comprise base and inflected forms, convey meanings of action, process, state, and attitude, and consistently function as sentence predicates. By integrating morphological, semantic, and syntactic analysis, this study contributes a holistic framework, concluding that verbs play a central role in constructing structure and meaning in political news reporting.

Abstract

Freedom is understood as a fundamental aspect of human existence because every individual is confronted with the capacity to choose, determine attitudes, and take responsibility for the meaning of life they construct, as emphasized in existentialist thought, particularly that of Jean-Paul Sartre. Within the practice of contemporary visual art, this understanding is often manifested through personal experience, existential reflection, and visual symbolism that become essential elements in the creative process. This study aims to produce a painting that visualizes freedom and self-existence through the metaphor of the horse within an expressive realist approach. The method employed is a qualitative creation-based approach referring to Graham Wallas’s stages of the creative process: preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. The results indicate that the visualization of the horse is able to represent relational dynamics, awareness of limitation, and the process of accepting wounds as part of the formation of self-meaning. These findings affirm that painting can function as a reflective medium for understanding freedom as an ongoing existential process within human experience.
