This film was written by Lee Jong-pil and set in 1995. This film tells the story of three girlfriends working for eight years in a large company in South Korea. Even though they have worked for a long time, the three of them are still treated differently. This film shows how female employees who only graduated from high school are able to prove their strengths by figuring out some cases of company waste leakage and corruption committed by company officials. They also fight for equal rights in their work. Their efforts, struggles, and courage are finally not in vain. The method used in this paper is a descriptive method. This research uses Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory to analyze the representation of feminism in the film. Signs and meanings are analyzed through some scenes and dialogues in the film showing the struggles of the three friends. The result of this research is the fi...

When the Elephants Dance is intrinsically structured into four main sections which describe the events leading up to Japan’s surrender. Inside these four sections, the story is integrated with five sub-stories from accompanying characters which are A Cure for Happiness, Mang Minno, Ghost Children, The Twilight People, and The Portrait of an Aristocrat. These sub-stories act as one of the highlights of the novel since they are utilized by the characters as a way to retain their sanity and cope with the tragic experiences of living in the middle of a war. The characters’ coping mechanism of telling their life stories that are filled with Filipino mythology reflects the postcolonial discourse of the Philippines prior to and during World War II. With the research limitation of analyzing the story of Mang Min...

This novel tells about a girl named Amina who has a family background from Pakistan and has long lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Despite living in a dominant Western culture, the Amina family consistently upholds Pakistani cultural values and uses their native customs daily. The differences between these two cultures often lead to conflicts experienced by Amina and other characters in the story. Despite encountering obstacles, Amina is shown still to practice the values of multiculturalism in her daily life. This study uses the concept of indicators of multiculturalism values proposed by Tilaar (2004) and the concept of acculturation written by Berry (2005). This research shows that there...

The main character, Thomas-Builds-the-Fire, represents native Americans. This paper will analyze Thomas as a subaltern who was oppressed by white hegemony. The presence of fairy tales as media voicing out Thomas' thoughts and feeling as the subaltern interprets something deeper. The present writer will use Gayatri C. Spivak's theories which are subaltern and representation, to analyze the forms of Native American representation. The result shows there are two forms of representation used in the story. They are "to represent," meaning "the idea of representing something," and "re-present," meaning "the idea of bringing back." However, both forms of representation stated in the story failed to make the subaltern ...

Budaya patriarki adalah suatu budaya yang menekankan dominasi kekuasaan laki-laki terhadap perempuan. Dalam novel ini, pengarang mendeskripsikan pengaruh dominasi patriarki yang terjadi dan sekaligus merambat luas melintasi batasan geografis, baik wilayah dunia bagian Timur (Jepang) maupun bagian Barat (Amerika). The Buddha in the Attic menceritakan kisah perjalanan dan kehidupan para wanita imigran Jepang yang berlayar ke Amerika pada awal 1900-an dengan tujuan untuk mencari kehidupan dan kesejahteraan yang lebih baik. Berawal dengan mengikuti sebuah tradisi “picture brides”, sebuah praktek perjodohan di awal abad ke dua puluh melalui sistem pertukaran foto, para wanita imigran Jepang diperhadapkan dengan kenyataan pahit kehidupan Amerika yang juga sarat dengan isu dominasi patriarki. Analisis penelitian ini akan menggunakan pendekatan ...

Krisis moral melanda negeri ini, kasus kekerasan hampir terjadi di semua kalangan, baik dewasa, remaja, maupun anak-anak.

Paradoxically, the novel gives a twisted ending by letting both of the main black characters in the novel, Jake and Ray, leave Harlem because of different reasons. This article aims to show a deferred meaning of “Home to Harlem” in the novel as well as to find the hidden aim in the novel. This research will use Derrida’s theory about deconstruction and differance concept. The result shows that the text seems to deconstruct a myth about Harlem as the mecca of the New Negro. The meaning of home in the novel has deferred into a space inhabited by a familiar in which one can find needs of physical, intellectual, mental, and emotional security. A decision to leave Harlem chosen by both of main characters in the novel is a symbo...

Perjalanan Cleofilas menjadi perempuan yang otonom di dalam cerpen ini merupakan sebuah perjuangan kelas sosial dan sekaligus membuka jendela harapan akan adanya transformasi sosial yang terjadi di waktu mendatang sebagai buah dari kesadaran kolektif yang dibangun mel...
