Abstract

Immigration and security issues along the US-Mexico border were one of the key issues in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Despite widespread criticism and opposition, the policy proceeded with the release of Executive Order 13767. The purpose of this study is to examine the policy-making process behind the US-Mexico wall from 2015 to 2017. This research employs qualitative analysis techniques and utilizes secondary data. This study applies Foreign Policy Decision Making theory. Findings reveal that domestic security and national interest serve as the trigger that influenced the formulation of the Trump Wall policy. The border with Mexico, a primary route for immigrants, has become a security threat due to the smuggling of weapons and drugs. Although concerns remain about the strained relationship between the US and Mexico, the US is one of the wealthiest and militarily most powerful nations and can therefore back its decisions. Various entities such as the bureaucracy, the Republican Party, and military-sector companies helped promote Trump's policies, ensuring their continued implementation. This paper complements the use of FPDM Theory, namely the US-Mexico border wall.

Abstract

This article concerns how Muslim minority communities in New York sustain their religious identity within a multicultural democratic society. The existence of the current scholarship covers identity formation and negotiation; however, the underlying mechanisms to ensure long-term continuity remain insufficiently explored. Utilizing Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework of habitus, capital, and field, this study introduces the original concept of Faith Capital. The design uses qualitative-dominant mixed methods, including structured questionnaires administered to 21 Muslim participants in New York City. The results show that Muslim identity is formed by daily religious practice, maintained by social, cultural, and symbolic capital, and negotiated in a variety of urban social domains, with Faith Capital serving as its primary anchor. Additionally, this study adds to the Bourdieusian framework by emphasizing the lived spiritual resilience of minority communities and presents Faith Capital as an essential analytical construct for understanding the sustainability of minority religious identity within American studies and the sociology of religion.

Abstract

Translating American literature outside the United States always goes with center-periphery shifts regarding American culture. The shifts are not only observed in the global south polysystems, where translating societies resist American hegemonic discourses; they are also manifested in Western renditions.  The article studies the French translation of American culture by focusing on Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. It is a mixed-method research approach. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from the source and target texts. Secondary data were obtained from books and articles pertinent to the topic. American Studies interdisciplinary methodology and Hall’s encoding-decoding theory were applied for data analysis. It is discovered that a negotiated position dominates the translation (61.04%). There is negotiation between America and France’s 1920s counter-cultures and post-World War social and political practices. The dominant-hegemonic position (23.20%) comes second, with an exoticism for American economic system codes, English routine formulas, geographic and personal naming, and security and military practices. Last, there is an oppositional decoding (7.18%). It is characterized by a domesticating shift from Lost Generation style and Jazz culture to surrealism and Parisian wandering culture. These findings advance transnational American studies by integrating the French language into the conception of American culture.
