The purpose of this study is to reveal the hidden motives of the White behind race and class struggles in Carl Leeâs case of murdering two local young white men who had raped his 10 years old daughter, Tonya, and left her bruised and bloodied. Lee, a black man, who used to have good relations with the White stood against the White at the court when he decided to kill the rapists in his own hands as his revenge to his daughter. The story was not simply telling readers about the races and classes struggles between the Black and the White but another important point to notice was the wilingness of some white people who posted themselves in Leeâs side that led further conflict of the White against the White.

Literature pleases humans by imitating life, or more precisely, by displaying its writers’ visions of life as it is or as the writers think it should be. The story of Anna and the King focused more on the struggle of a British teacher in Siam, Anna Leonowens, who was demanded to teach the English ways to Siamese Royal children and wives who still held the traditional culture and rules. The reflections of patriarchal thoughts and views hopefully could be seen through the actions and reactions of Anna and Tuptim. Since the setting of the story influenced the story a lot, it was a need to start the analysis from the analysis of the setting. In conclusion, a broad picture on the Siamese patriarchal systems could be revealed. As a country which held traditions and cultures, Siamese people put the positions of men higher than women. Men had higher position which gave them power to oppressed women for their favors. Polygamy was applied here, which supported the patriarchal power in Siam. Key words: setting, patriarchy, feminism

CAPITALISM AND SOCIALISM AS IDEOLOGICAL CONSTRUCTIONS IN AMERICAN DYSTOPIAN NOVELS Anna Sriastuti; Ida Rochani Adi
Rubikon : Journal of Transnational American Studies Vol 9, No 1 (2022)
Publisher : Universitas Gadjah Mada

Literature reflects the history of people's lives, which includes lifestyle, culture, language, desires, and important events in people's lives. Dystopia novels cannot be separated from discussions about authoritarian government, restraints on people's freedom, criticism of the development of technology and information, exploitation and the class system, and the arbitrariness of the rulers. Despite telling a bad world, Dystopian novels proved popular in America, a country that promised freedom, equality, and freedom to its citizens. The possibility of different realities captured by American popular novelists who differ from their imaginations gave birth to dystopian novels that are popular in American society. Thus, this study is important to analyse Capitalism and Socialism as ideological constructions in American dystopian novels through Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaid’s Tale, Uglies, and The Hunger Games. This research will formulate an understanding of whether or not American dystopian novels confirm or negate the ideology of Capitalism and the ideology of Socialism.

VIEWING POSTMODERN AMERICAN YOUTH SOCIETY THROUGH UGLIES AND THE HUNGER GAMES: A TURN FROM NOSTALGIA TO ESCAPE Anna Sri Astuti
Rubikon : Journal of Transnational American Studies Vol 9, No 1 (2022)
Publisher : Universitas Gadjah Mada

At the turn of the 21st century, Americans experienced the shift from the Modern Era to the Postmodern Era. The Modern Era that worships technology blurs the borders between countries. Technology and transportation, as the major components of the revolution in the globalization era, have labeled the planet a ‘global world’. This study found out that the Internet, for instance, has made access among countries possible. One of the effects of this movement towards globalization is the erosion of American exclusivity. Apart from its positive contributions to the world, technology has produced world chaos and destruction. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 and the economic crisis in 2008 are two fatal catastrophes that hit America in the 21st century and caused major trauma to the American people. This study is conducted to analyze postmodern American youth society through the analysis of Uglies and The Hunger Games to see how American youth make a turn from a victorious nostalgia to an escape from reality and create their own imaginary worlds through dystopian literature in response to what is happening in America. Using the theories of Postmodernism, small narratives from the data of the two novels are collected to reveal what are implicitly stated in the two novels.

As society is filled with diversity, such as differences in race, skin colour, culture, religion, andeconomy, it is common that each society has formed its own perception over things that happen around them. Stereotypes are among the most striking differences in perception. There may be perceptions regarding an unequal assessment of a community group based on attitudes and opinions, leading to wrong beliefs and losses for one party. Stereotypes are like masks put on individuals. Masks cover up individual characteristics and make the people wearing them look alike. The issue of stereotypes is very complicated, and it is sometimes hard because it changes how society views something, which sometimes is not the truth. Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl delivers a story of a housewife who kills her husband with a frozen lamb tight. What the husband and the wife do in this short story break the gender roles stereotypes labelled by the society. This article will analyse how the stereotypes are broken.Keywords: gender roles, society, stereotypes

The feminist movement in America is experiencing rapid development. The early feminist idea about woman's right to vote has developed on other issues, including sexuality and reproductive rights, ideas about universal femininity, the body, gender, and heteronormativity. In its development, feminism is sometimes associated with lesbianism. This linkage occurs because lesbian and feminist criticism grow in response to patriarchal oppression. Raised as an orphan, the two main female characters in Riding Freedom struggle to survive and achieve their freedom and happiness. Charlotte in Riding Freedom obscures her feminist identity to get equal opportunities with men. Susan in Fingersmith fights for her rights, even though she engages in lesbianism. By using these two novels as primary data, and data on the development of feminism in America as secondary data, this study aims to show the evolution of feminism in America, starting from the issue of voting described in The Riding Freedom, to the issue of lesbianism in Fingersmith's novel as the effect of disappointment from man's oppression. Feminist criticism and lesbian criticism are the two theories used in this research. This study finds that American women's struggle to gain equality with men requires a long process. The trauma of men's oppression supports the practice of lesbianism in America.

Dutchman belongs to Afro-American Drama. In its portraying of racial problem, Dutchman is different from other black American plays as it has largely moved to the abstract and symbolic form. While Dutchman strongly indicates segregation and a kind of open conflict with the white society, many others black literature largely focus on Black Society or family’s internal conflicts. Goes along with its abstract presentation, Dutchman tends to represent the general and ‘eternal’ blacks rather than the blacks framed in social institution such as family, job, and others. Despite common accepted classification that separates ethnic literary work as strongly political and absurd theatre as metaphysical, Dutchman’s technique is strikingly similar to the absurd where content and form/technique blends. This study is to explore the tension in The Dutchman by showing its similarities and differences from both the conventional absurd play and Black literary work and to propose possible literary and social background that explain such phenomenon, which is, a racial play that takes absurdist style or as a literary act of continuing absurdist style on the racial ground. In doing so, this study uses a comparative literature approach by comparing The Dutchman with Eugene Ionesco's The Lesson and Edward Albe's The Zoo Story. In afro-american drama, there was a time when racial conflict was a condition that created a movement to a more abstract/ symbolic form similar to the Absurd play. It’s a kind of reminder for the metaphysical dramatist, a reminder of what really matter in the real world.
