Abstract

Patriarchy has become the central attention of feminism because its practices expand to many different fields in society, such as politics, law, power relations between male and female and literary works, such as poems. Lee, as a poet with a lot of notable achievements, also internalises his patriarchal ideology through the women representation portrayed in "Persimmons", "Braiding", "Pillow", "Early in the Morning" and "This Room and Everything in It". This study analyses five of Lee's poems utilising close reading to discover the exercises of patriarchy to the female characters in Lee's poems. The points are proven by six structures of patriarchal system, which cover six aspects of social life namely mode of production; salaried employment; state; male violence; culture, and relationship in sexuality. Women's portrayal in Lee's poems specifically reveals patriarchal relations in sexuality. This study concludes that Lee's portrayal of women in his poems is indeed patriarchal by means of (1) characterising women as weak and passive; (2) male dominating as evident in sexual relationship and (3) making women as sex objects.

Abstract

One of the foremost developments in literary criticism is the awareness that colonialism results in ecological devastation of the colonies through exploitation of nature. This phenomenon is legitimized through Western anthropocentric paradigm that considers nature merely as commodity to be utilized for humankind's benefit. This paper analyses the underlying Western colonial discourse that rationalizes ecological exploitation in Hawai'i based on the reading on James Michener's Hawai'i. With postcolonial ecocriticism as the framework, the present study focuses on the conflicts that arise between the islanders and the white settlers concerning human and non-human relationships. Western discourse promotes the superiority of their culture based on the privileged position in a binary opposition which is contrasted with the backwardness of the natives. The labelling of certain Hawai'ian traditions as pagan and heathen practice plays a pivotal role in articulating the Western anthropocentric paradigm in which the missionaries function as agent of colonialism. The culmination of Western colonial discourse manifests in the transformation of Hawai'ian landscape for capitalistic enterprise of agriculture and sugar plantation. This event also signifies the commodification in the landscape and centre-periphery relationship which underlines the economical exploitation of the colony.

Abstract

Teachers and students in Injibara college were unable to understand syntactic object representations found in Awgni sentences. The motivation of this research was designed to fill the gap by analyzing syntactic object representations found in Awgni sentences. Henceforth, the objective of the study was to examine the Syntactic Object representations found within Awgni sentences classified by their function. A descriptive analysis was employed to interpret the sentence structures. The data were collected from the native speakers of Awi people (7 males, 6 females) based on their day-to-day outgoing acts, and from different texts. By purposive sampling, 23 sentences were selected, arranged, and described. The method of data analysis applied was Labeling Algorithm {XP, YP}. Thus, raising XP Syntactic Objects has been modified and consequently, there is only one visible head. The result indicated that Awgni sentences in terms of their forms, forming, a causal relationship they contain were different. On the other hand, each sentence structure shares Syntactic Object representations that include NPs, VPs, DPs, PPs, ADVPs, and APs. Finally, the study recommended further research on how (LA) {H, XP}, and {X, Y} works to describe the label of every Syntactic Object representations found within sentence structures in Awgni.

By employing content analysis, the results show that (a) 59 swear words are classified into nine semantic referents, consisting of offensive slang (17%) as the main referent, followed by profane or blasphemous (15%), psychological-physical-social deviations (15%), scatological and disgusting objects (15%), sexual references (12%), substandard vulgar terms (10%), ethnic-racial-gender slurs (7%), animal names (5%), and ancestral allusions (4%) and (b) swearing are caused by three motives, namely psychological, social, and linguistic. The study concludes that the film contains severe and various swear words, and particular situations can lead the characters to swear. General readers are hoped to be more considerate in expressing themselves and be wiser in determining their word choices

Abstract

Until the 21st Century, teachers are still seen in different constructs in countries such as the Philippines and Thailand. Though teachers' academic and non-academic roles are indispensably intertwined in the students' holistic development, the former roles are mostly the topic of query, clarification, and improvement, leaving the latter unclear. Nonetheless, the non-academic ones must be equally highlighted to educate the teaching force to achieve students' learning targets. Moreover, these roles lead to constructs, and these are seen in the modern representation of literary texts – films. In the Thai movie "Teacher's Diary," these non-academic constructs were perceived by the students. In analyzing the movie, to appreciate the literature world's cultural and aesthetic diversity, the participants identified these constructs emerging from their critical reflections. This study was made to discern and present non-academic constructs of the Thai and Filipino 21st Century teachers based on their written reflections. By using a qualitative approach, particularly content analysis, the non-academic constructs are revealed by students' critical reflection such as parental, vocational, epitomical, fortitudinous, and motivational constructs. In conclusion, teachers are seen as parents, servers, epitomes, enduring, encouraging, and inspiring. These provide insights to improve the teaching profession
