Abstract

This article discusses Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 using a Foucauldian perspective. The novel depicts a dystopian society living under discourse surveillance in which books are banned. There are two contradicting discourses in the novel. First, book banning discourse which is constructed as system surveillance, makes people live in uniformity and lose independent thoughts. Second, freedom of reading discourse posits that reading and books play a vital role in society. The writer finds that book banning discourse influences the society and eliminates freedom of speech. Thus, in order to free the society from the authority surveillance, the freedom of reading must be restored.Keywords: science fiction, book banning, discourse, surveillance, freedom

Abstract

This research looks at two poems of Emily Dickinson which are “I Measure Every Grief I Meet” and “I like a look of Agony”. The goal of this research is to show different views on grief and agony as mental pains in order to gain a better understanding of the two poems. The writer applies New Criticism approach and uses comparative method in order to get evidences that are needed. The text focuses on pointing out different views on grief or mental pain through attitudes of the speakers in each poem by analyzing the two poems stanza-by-stanza. This paper affirms that even though the two poems have same theme which are grief and agony or mental pain, the attitude of each speaker towards these issues is significantly different. In "I Measure Every Grief I Meet", the speaker shows that they are full of compassion in observing their surroundings, they show sympathy and concern on people's feeling. The speaker admits that find comfort in knowing others also feel grief as they do but they do not see it as something beneficial to them so that they can take advantage from those who are in grief or experiencing physical pain. In "I Like a Look of Agony", the speaker is being harsh and selfish because they do not care of the condition of those who are in agony. The speaker shows no sympathy but the fact that this is something that benefits them so that they can find comfort in witnessing the agony of others.

Abstract

This article discusses David Malouf’s novel entitled An Imaginary Life from an eco-critical perspective. It examines certain symbols from nature that appear in the novel during the journey of Ovid, the main character, in the exile. The data is collected by applying library research methods. Primary data are all symbols from nature related to Ovid’s journey and the formation of his new identity in the exile. Meanwhile, the secondary data are all information from books and articles related with archetypal symbols and criticism. The result of analysis is presented by the descriptive method. The analysis results in two conclusions. Firstly, nature that is presented as wild at the beginning of the story turns into a home for the main character at the end of the story. Secondly, nature, represented by some symbols, evidently plays an important role in making Ovid embrace his new life and forms new identity apart from his past life as a famous poet back in Rome.

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of politics and hegemony in Harry Potter, a fantasy series by British author J. K. Rowling. The work is apparently coded with class systems and hierarchy in its society, and how it can be seen as a reflection of real-life society. It explores how the ruling group tries to keep the power only on the hands of the few by inserting their views and ideologies to their people, and thus resulting into a certain status quo that the ruling group finds desirable. The seven novels of Harry Potter are analysed through Marxist perspective using Antonio Gramsci’s theory of Cultural Hegemony, in which the people in power impose and spread their ideas to those below them as a way to control them. It is concluded that the series also involves criticisms on class domination, corruption on power, and rebellion.

Abstract

This study discusses Kurt Vonnegut's view of war reflected in his novel Slaughterhouse-Five and also his efforts in conveying his views through his novel. This novel is based on the experience of Kurt Vonnegut during World War II when he was imprisoned in a German city called Dresden and witnessed the destruction of the city on February 13, 1945 in an Allied bombing operation. In the novel, Vonnegut rewrote his experience in the form of a fiction. In discussing this literary work, I used the expressive theory by M. H. Abrams which was supported by a historical and biographical approach. In analyzing this literary work, I took quotes from the novel Slaughterhouse-Five as the main data as well as other data as secondary data, such as the biography of the author, interviews with the author taken from various sources, as well as writings on author that is relevant to the discussion in this study. The result show that  Kurt Vonnegut see war as something that was completely meaningless and only caused destruction and death for innocent residents. Kurt Vonnegut uses narrative techniques such as black humor, irony, and metaphysics at Slaughterhouse-Five so that his views on war can be conveyed to his readers.
