Abstract

The context of the study is the ongoing protests and demonstrations by women in many places in Iran. This study aims to examine the demonstration of gender ideology and power in Sahebjam's Stoning of Soraya M. Qualitative descriptive method is used to investigate the relationship between gender ideology and power relations and how it creates a power imbalance between men and women in Iranian society. Stoning of Soraya M by Freidoune Sahebjam, published on September 12, 1990, serves as the primary data source for this study. Data are analysed through the lens of the Critical Discourse Analysis approach, specifically Lazar's Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (2007). The findings of the study suggest that the country's laws, including the Constitution, the Civil Code, and the Criminal Code, create a complicated legal environment for women. While the Constitution guarantees equal civil rights for men and women, religious law supersedes other laws and is frequently abused by individuals to commit crimes against women. This study reveals how gender ideology and power relations to women reflected through discourse can demonstrate how women are treated in different parts of the world.Keywords: gender ideology, power, novel, feminist

Abstract

Examining disaster reports in Indonesia is critical, as it provides essential insights into people perceptions and reactions to the frequent natural disasters. Disaster reports were examined through its communicative element including attitude to see the viewpoints of the newspaper towards disaster reports. The objectives of this research are to categorize attitudes, explain how attitudes are realized, and explain why attitudes are realized in disaster reporting in Indonesian newspaper, especially The Jakarta Post (TJP). Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as the analytical framework, a qualitative method was employed. The data is analyzed using Martin and White's theory of appraisal (2005). A corpus of 14 TJP newspaper articles on Indonesian natural disasters published in 2021 is broken down into clauses denoting attitude. The results of the study indicate: 1) there are three different attitude types, with appreciation being the most prevalent and having a predominately negative polarity, 2) the attitude realization reveals that TJP is the most dominant appraiser, followed by the authorities, and 3) the realization is attributed to two themes namely self-claimed recognition and neglect of self-failure, and one tone multiple perspectives which means negative attitudes dominantly voiced by different appraisers. The themes reveal the newspaper's concealed ideology points to a narrative of critique and disillusionment, which may shape the readers' understanding of the disasters and the associated societal responses.
