Abstract

Advancements in media technology have significantly reshaped the sharing and consumption of religious teachings, especially as Buddhist monks increasingly use social media platforms like Weibo in China and Facebook in Thailand to preach and engage with their followers. Some monks have gained considerable influence on these platforms, attracting large followings. While previous studies have noted the growing presence of monks on social media, their specific behaviors and strategies have not been extensively explored. This study addresses this gap by examining the practices of Buddhist monks in China, which is home to around 80% of the global Buddhist population, and Thailand, where approximately 93-94% of the population practices Theravada Buddhism. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the study analyzes the posts of eight prominent monk influencers—four from each country—between January 2017 and December 2019. The research findings reveal key differences in the content and strategies employed by Chinese and Thai monks. Chinese monks, such as Ven. Yancan, tend to share content related to their daily lives, social interactions, and public service activities, positioning themselves as social activists. In contrast, Thai monks primarily focus on Buddhist teachings, practices, and rituals, with less emphasis on secular topics. Additionally, Chinese monks are more likely to use multimedia formats, such as videos and live streaming, for real-time engagement, while Thai monks prefer textual content and speeches, focusing on delivering sermons and reflections. Public service activities also vary, with Chinese monks organizing large-scale charity events, such as donations and educational initiatives, while Thai monks engage in smaller, more localized acts of service, like offering food and aid to the community. These differences highlight the influence of cultural and political contexts, such as China's strict policy regulations and Thailand's structured monastic oversight. The study underscores how social media has expanded the reach of Buddhist teachings, allowing monks to transcend geographical boundaries and challenge traditional religious hierarchies. By adapting to new media, Buddhist monks are able to connect with younger, digitally engaged audiences and remain relevant in an increasingly digital world, offering valuable insights into the evolving landscape of religious communication in the digital age.

Abstract

This study explores the underlying ideology in the hacktivism discourse of al-hākirz al-muslimūn (MH), a group of Muslim hackers. The objective was to uncover the discursive strategies used by MH in its cyber threats, focusing on how they construct their identity and position themselves in opposition to perceived threats. A critical qualitative design was employed to analyze three videos from the Hacker News YouTube channel, using the ideological square framework as the theoretical lens for data analysis. The results of macroanalysis show that MH used the basic strategy of emphasizing positive 'us' on 11 data (14.67%), emphasizing negative 'them' on 31 data (41.33%), and de-emphasizing positive 'them' on 33 data (44.00%). In the microanalysis dimension, the rhetorical discursive strategies found include actor description amounting to 23 data (31.08%), consensus with a total of 2 data (2.70%), evidentiality reaching 5 data (5.41%), example/illustration with a total of 7 data (9.46%), values expression reaching 14 data (18.92%), number game with a total of 4 data (5.41%), and victimization-criminalization amounting to 20 data (27.03%). The ideological analysis indicated that MH’s discourse is characterized by anti-imperialism, reflecting their defense of oppressed populations and the use of hacking as a form of retribution. Additionally, anti-extremism was evident in the group’s critique of actions perceived as insults to Islam, often tied to extremist ideologies. This study contributes to the understanding of hacktivism as a form of digital activism, emphasizing its role in shaping political discourse and public opinion through cyber threats. It provides insights into the ideological motivations behind hacktivism, showing how groups like MH use digital platforms to challenge global political structures. The implications of this study are significant for future research into hacktivism, particularly in exploring the broader impact of such discourse on global politics, the ethical dimensions of cyber activism, and the potential of multimodal discourse analysis to examine the interplay of textual, visual, and audiovisual elements in discourse interpretation. By applying multimodal discourse analysis, future researchers could explore how audio, visual, and color codes contribute to shaping meaning in hacktivist narratives. This study highlights the complexity of hacktivism and its potential to reshape political narratives and activism in the modern world.

Abstract

This study examines Eleanor & Park, a contemporary romance novel by Rainbow Rowell, through the lens of Janice Radway's ideal romance formula. The novel portrays two central characters, Eleanor and Park, whose relationship deviates from traditional romance norms, offering a fresh perspective on love and identity. The objective of this paper is to explore how Rowell's characterization of the hero, Park, and the heroine, Eleanor, aligns with or challenges the conventional ideals of romance characters as outlined by Radway. Eleanor embodies traits of the ideal heroine—she is intelligent, spunky, and independent—while Park, although strong and caring, does not fully fit the traditional masculine hero image. This deviation from the typical hero archetype, combined with Eleanor's struggles and vulnerability, challenges the stereotypical gender roles typically found in romance novels. The study adopts a New Criticism approach, focusing on intrinsic elements of the text, particularly characterizations and plot structure, without considering external influences such as the author's biography or social context. The analysis finds that the characters' roles in the story push against traditional boundaries, as Eleanor's resilience and emotional depth redefine the notion of the ideal heroine, while Park’s more sensitive and less traditionally masculine traits complicate the idealization of the romantic hero. Furthermore, the novel’s plot emphasizes emotional growth, mutual understanding, and empathy over dominance or stereotypical gender dynamics. The open-ended conclusion of the story further subverts the expectations of a conventional romance, presenting the relationship as a tool for personal development rather than a perfect, idealized union. In doing so, the novel offers a more nuanced portrayal of teenage relationships, highlighting their impermanence and complexity. Ultimately, Eleanor & Park invites readers to reconsider conventional romance narratives by focusing on the internal growth and emotional connections between characters rather than adhering to formulaic depictions of love. This study contributes to a broader understanding of contemporary romance novels and their potential for depicting more diverse, realistic, and empowering portrayals of love and identity.

Abstract

Numeral systems are essential for understanding the structure and evolution of languages, as they reflect cognitive processes and are deeply shaped by historical and cultural influences. This study examines the numeral systems of Indonesian and Tagalog, two Austronesian languages, focusing on the morphological processes involved in numeral formation. Despite sharing a common linguistic ancestry, the numeral systems of these languages differ significantly due to various historical and cultural factors, including the impacts of colonization. The research employs a descriptive-qualitative approach, utilizing contrastive analysis to compare the morphological structures of numerals in both languages. Data were collected from literary texts, dictionaries, and language corpora in both languages, and the analysis involved distributional, comparative, and contextual methods. Additionally, consultations with native speakers helped verify numeral usage and clarify any ambiguities. Findings reveal that while both languages use a decimal numeral system, Indonesian generally employs simpler affixation patterns, such as the prefix "se-" in numerals like "seratus" (one hundred) and "seribu" (one thousand). In contrast, Tagalog incorporates more complex structures, often using bound morphemes like "isang-" (one) and "limang-" (five) for larger numbers, such as "isang daan" (one hundred) and "limang libo" (five thousand). The influence of colonial history is evident in both languages, with Tagalog borrowing extensively from Spanish, as seen in numerals like "mil" (thousand) and "milyon" (million), while Indonesian draws influence from Sanskrit and Dutch. The study also highlights the use of reduplication, which is more common in Tagalog, especially in informal contexts, whereas it is rarely used in Indonesian numerals. These findings provide insights into how the numeral systems of Indonesian and Tagalog have evolved differently despite their shared Austronesian roots, shaped by distinct socio-historical contexts. This research contributes to the field of contrastive linguistics and offers a deeper understanding of how external influences, such as colonialism, have shaped the structure of numeral systems in both languages. It also opens avenues for future research on numeral systems in other Austronesian languages.

Abstract

In contemporary democratic societies, political apologies have evolved into strategic rhetorical acts used by state leaders to manage public perception, repair moral standing, and reinforce political values. In Indonesia, President Joko Widodo’s public apology near the end of his presidency attracted widespread attention and provoked discourse about its underlying ideological motives. Rather than a spontaneous expression of regret, the apology appeared to be a calculated act of political communication, shaped by cultural values and designed to influence the public’s perception of his leadership. This study aims to uncover the ideological tendencies embedded in Jokowi’s apology by analyzing how the apology is represented in two prominent English-language newspapers in Indonesia, The Jakarta Post (TJP) and The Jakarta Globe (TJG). It seeks to determine how transitivity choices in the language are used to convey deeper political and cultural meanings. Employing a qualitative research design supported by quantitative content analysis, the study integrates Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), particularly the transitivity framework, to examine 43 clauses extracted from news articles published in TJP and TJG. The transitivity analysis reveals that material processes dominate the discourse (40.5%), followed by mental (25.5%) and verbal (23.2%) processes. In terms of participant roles, Actor and Sayer occur most frequently, indicating that Jokowi strategically presented himself as an active doer and a sincere speaker. These linguistic patterns suggest a deliberate construction of identity, emphasizing responsibility, empathy, and leadership. The analysis further shows how Jokowi's apology aligns with Javanese cultural ideals of humility and Islamic values of repentance, which are embedded in Indonesian socio-political discourse. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how political apologies are not only personal but also ideological acts embedded in media discourse. This study highlights the usefulness of integrating CDA and SFL in uncovering how language functions to maintain power, shape public memory, and preserve political legitimacy in post-presidency contexts. It also underscores the cultural specificity of apology strategies in Indonesia, suggesting that future discourse studies consider local traditions and values when analyzing political speech.

Abstract

Narratives of travel are part of world literature and cultural history. Scholarly research on migrant narratives and literature is a subfield of intercultural studies and comparative literature which allow cultures to bond and interact. Written histories of Arab Americans start with the Foundational Period (1880-1920) which revolves around the early immigrants from Historical Syria. This period is one of the least documented eras which is still difficult to reconstruct due to its many gaps and various obstacles. This paper examines the strategies and approaches used by Philip Hitti, the founder of Arabic Studies in the United States, who established the master models and approaches for the study of the Syro-Lebanese immigrant community. This model is based on locating alternative sources that include ̶ in addition to official sources and written accounts ̶ folksongs, literary texts, popular stories, and personal memories. It makes use of them to reconstruct the history of this community, which is characterized by its rich popular culture and long tradition of story-telling. There may be polemics and prejudices in presenting the wealth of the oral and cultural tradition of Historical Syria’s communities in the mainstream popular and official narratives about Arabs and Muslims. When presented with scholarly research and comparative perspectives, immigrants’ narratives can have a valuable contribution to world literature on immigration.

Abstract

Political speeches function not only as formal addresses but also as powerful tools for constructing ideological narratives, legitimizing authority, and influencing public opinion. In a politically polarized and socially diverse country like Indonesia, presidential discourse plays a crucial role in uniting disparate groups and articulating visions for national development and reform. This study critically examines how President Prabowo Subianto frames power and ideology in his 2024 inaugural presidential speech by investigating the linguistic strategies and discursive mechanisms used to construct an image of inclusive leadership, address systemic corruption, and reinforce national identity. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research integrates van Dijk’s theory of power and ideology, Fairclough’s modality theory, Wodak’s critical pragmatics, Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory, and Moscovici's theory of social representation. The primary data consists of the official transcript of Prabowo's speech, retrieved from government sources and analyzed through purposive sampling to identify ideologically salient segments. These were manually coded for modality, speech acts, metaphorical constructions, and group representations. The analysis reveals that Prabowo constructs an assertive yet inclusive leadership persona by using a high-certainty modality to project confidence in achieving national goals, particularly food and energy self-sufficiency. Deontic expressions frame these goals as collective moral obligations. Assertive and commissive speech acts function to inform and mobilize, reinforcing his credibility and political commitment. Conceptual metaphors such as "journey" and "disease" simplify complex challenges, portraying national development as a shared path forward and corruption as a harmful condition requiring urgent cures. Through social representation, the speech elevates "the lower class" (e.g., farmers, fishermen) as national heroes while depicting corrupt elites as threats to societal well-being. These linguistic strategies form a coherent populist narrative that legitimizes reformist leadership and appeals to collective identity. This study contributes to the field of political discourse analysis in Indonesia by offering a comprehensive, multi-theoretical lens to unpack the ideological functions of language in presidential communication. It also holds practical implications for political speechwriting, civic education, and public engagement by demonstrating how language can be used to construct legitimacy, inspire unity, and frame national priorities in morally persuasive ways.

Abstract

The origins and migration routes of Taiwanesian populations have long been a topic of scholarly debate, with various theories suggesting connections to regions in Southeast Asia, mainland China, and beyond. Clarifying these connections is essential for understanding the ethnic and linguistic development of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples and their ties to other Austronesian-speaking communities. This study seeks to explore the phonetic and historical relationships between Taiwanesians and Southeast Asian ethnic groups, especially those from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Guinea, and Vietnam, addressing gaps in earlier migration theories that often overlooked oceanographic conditions and linguistic evidence. To accomplish this, the research applies a comparative phonetic analysis of basic vocabulary across 67 ethnic languages, using data from four historically documented Taiwanesian languages alongside sixteen contemporary ones. The analysis draws on digitized dictionaries and historical sources and incorporates insights from regional linguists and anthropologists to strengthen the comparative approach. The results show notable phonetic similarities between Taiwanesian languages and several languages spoken in the Philippines—such as Hiligaynon, Ivatan, Ilocano, and Tagalog—as well as connections with Indonesian languages like Bugis, Sangir, Toba Batak, and Minangkabau. In contrast, the phonetic overlap with languages from New Guinea is limited, indicating weaker linguistic ties. Historical records, including evidence of ocean currents and oral histories, support the hypothesis of a south-to-north migration pathway that enabled the movement of populations from the Indonesian archipelago and central Philippine Islands toward Taiwan. This research questions previous assumptions that Taiwanesians once spoke early forms of Bahasa Malay or Bahasa Indonesia, instead revealing complex linguistic diversity and migration patterns within the broader Austronesian world. By combining phonetic comparisons with historical context, the study offers new perspectives on the ethnic and linguistic affiliations of Taiwanesian populations. These findings provide a foundation for further interdisciplinary research on Austronesian migration and highlight the value of phonetic evidence as a tool for uncovering ancient population movements and fostering greater cross-regional collaboration in historical linguistics and anthropology.

Abstract

religious lecture is the effective means of propaganda for direct interacting to the worshipers. Unfortunately, there are some lecturers who do not pay attention to the politeness principle in the preaching. One lecturer who often causes controversy is GN. GN lectures on several occasions, such as lectures in churches, sparked debate and a negative response from the other speaker. This research is to reveal the forms of principle courtesy violation in discourse. This research used descriptive qualitative research with discourse analysis approach. The analysis showed the forms of the offense of direct criticism (menohok hearer) with a word or phrase that is abusive, speech-driven sense of emotion, intent cornered hearer, the charges on the basis of suspicion, protective of opinions, attack the personal aspect, and the spread of hatred. The forms of violations that included part of the Approbation Maxim. It can be concluded that the conflict (linguistic and social) can be triggered by a lecture, disregarding the principle of modesty. Linguistic conflict, like debate between lecturers, would arise not because of the debate the substance of propaganda, but the attack triggered a personal aspect and spreading hatred. Conflicts are likely to occur when the violation of the principle of courtesy is still ongoing. The negative impact of the conflict would be stronger if it involves an object or group of people with different religious and ethnic.

Abstract

Crime fiction has long served not just to entertain but to reflect deeper cultural anxieties about identity, power, and social order. However, its potential to interrogate colonial legacies and gender inequalities remains underexplored. This paper examines how characters from different cultural backgrounds are represented in Laurie R. King’s O Jerusalem, a novel set in British-occupied Palestine, through the combined lenses of postcolonial and feminist theory. Drawing on Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism and Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, the study analyses interactions between Western (the Self) and Eastern (the Other) characters, as well as between male and female figures. The aim is to understand how cultural and gendered identities are constructed, contested, and transformed within the context of historical crime fiction. This research contributes to current literature by combining postcolonial and feminist perspectives to address an overlooked intersection in crime fiction studies, how colonial power dynamics and gendered identities are co-constructed and contested within the genre. With the application of this dual framework, the study fills a critical gap in understanding how crime fiction not only reflects but also revises dominant narratives of identity, authority, and resistance. The method involves a careful qualitative analysis grounded in close textual analysis to investigate how identity is constructed and negotiated in O Jerusalem. The analysis focuses on the characterisation of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes as Western figures, while also examining how other characters from both Western and Eastern backgrounds are represented. The study pays particular attention to themes of gender, culture, and power as framed by postcolonial and feminist theories. The findings reveal that Laurie R. King complicates cultural and gender identities through evolving relationships between Western and Eastern characters. Her portrayal of Western figures as both protagonists and antagonists challenges the assumed moral superiority of the West. Through Mary Russell, King also redefines female agency in detective fiction by offering a feminist revision of the traditionally male-centred Sherlock Holmes canon. These insights contribute to literary studies by illustrating how popular fiction can critically engage with colonial discourse and gender norms. This dual focus on postcolonial and feminist themes offers fresh insights to rethink detective fiction as a genre that challenges colonial power structures and gender norms. It demonstrates how popular literature can actively contribute to socio-political critique and reshape dominant understandings of identity, culture, and resistance. The study emphasizes the importance of re-evaluating traditional narratives in modern crime fiction.
