Abstract

This thesis entitled ‘Being Muslim Immigrants in America: Preservation, Resistance, and Negotiation of Identity in Ayad Akhtar’s ‘American Dervish’ aims to analyze the depiction of Muslim immigrants identity in the context of diaspora. Through the lenses of Hall’s theory of identity and Clifford’s  diaspora, the analysis centered on how the Muslim immigrant characters in the novel interacted with other individuals with diverse backgrounds of race, gender, and religion. This contributed towards the construction of identity through the preservation and resistance of homeland culture, dominant culture or host land culture and the negotiation between Muslim immigrants and their state and American society. Therefore, the Muslim immigrant characters in the novel hold a non-essential and fluid identity as portrayed from the perpetual construction of identity.

Abstract

This article explains hallucination as a psychological problem undergone by Andrew Laeddis, the main character of Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island. Viewed from Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytical theory (id, ego, and superego), self-defense mechanism theory by Anna Freud, and hallucination theory, this article shows how the main character faces the hallucination and how his efforts fail. The results of the study reveal that Andrew Laeddis faces three types of hallucination: visual hallucination, auditory hallucination, and temporal illusion. Andrew Laeddis also applies two self-defense mechanisms: denial of reality and regression. Since the id is more dominant than the ego, the doctors do not succeed in curing him of the hallucination. In other words, Andrew Laeddis experiences an unresolved psychological problem; which is hallucination.

Abstract

The role of parents in determining the lives of their children has been depicted in many media including literary works. This article tries to show how this issue is presented in two novels. Scrutinized from Foucauldian's perspective focusing on power relations between parents and children, this article analyzes Desni Intan Suri's Aku Tidak Membeli Cintamu and Mohja Kafh's The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf. The results show that the parents impose their power in the form of domination. In addition, the authors portray the children's acceptance as well as resistance to domination. Acceptance indicates obedience. On the other hand, resistance is a way to exemplify that parents' dominations can be challenged as children's voices are also valuable.
