Abstract

The issue of women’s oppression is an actual issue which provokes endless discussion. This issue is the domain of feminist’s struggle until now. There are many theories of feminism in literature. This article employs psychoanalytic feminism approach to examine the relation between women’s oppression and women's psyche to finally reveal that a mother (Mama) is involved in preserving the power of patriarchy in the family through her typical treatments toward her daughters (Uma and Aruna). Three conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, Mama is depicted as a narrow-minded, insecure, and status-oriented woman. Uma is an alienated, inferior and curious daughter. Aruna is a superior, status-oriented, and beauty-addicted daughter. Secondly, Mama’s treatment reflects patriarchal values. She prioritizes her son to get nutritious food and qualified education. Mama burdens her daughters with great responsibilities to take care of the house, gives them less freedom for selfexpression, and teaches them that women’s self-worth is determined by their physical attractiveness. Thirdly, there are two factors underlying Mama’s involvement in preserving the power of patriarchy. The first factor is the influence of her mother who made distinctive treatments based on gender toward her children. The second factor is the influence of tradition that addresses child-rearing responsibilities to mothers. Fathers only set the rules, they do not participate in this duty. Mama passes this role down to her daughters. As a result, she is involved in preserving patriarchal power. Keywords: patriarchal power, psychoalanytic feminism, Anita Desai

Abstract

Drama is a portrait of a real life situation and the theme of a drama is closely related to daily life conditions experienced by the character. A Character is defined as an entity, human or animal, that is created by the author. A good character should be natural and lifelike, especialy in physiological, psychological and sociological dimensions known as three dimensional aspect of a character. These dimensions are very interesting to discuss since they are very important to determine the qualities of the characters in a drama.Physiologically, Vera is described as a beautiful young lady with beautiful eyes. Sociologically, Vera is concluded as coming from an average family in Russia, living in a poor society, and living under tyranny. She has lived in an inn with her father before she saw her brother taken away to prison for seeking for liberty as a Nihilist. Psychologically, Vera is seen as a loving person though she does not put love as priority. She loves her country and her brother. She wants to revenge on the King for being a tyrant. She is a brave woman. It is seen from how she becomes a Nihilist to revenge for her brother and to end up the tyranny in her country.Keywords: physiological dimension, psychological dimension, and sociological dimension

Abstract

At present, 2014, Indonesian people learn to exercise their political right in the biggest people party, which is held every 5 years, the presidential election. Observing the debate, the campaign, and the supporters, one can learn that Indonesia has reached a progress in their political life. The progress is achieved through complex process that only some experienced. Back in the 1960s Indonesia experienced an uprising which caused turmoil of its government. Indonesian learnt two versions of its story, one which was officially broadcasted since 1966 and one which is only stated implicitly through some literary works.Reading Leila S. Chudori’s Pulang, there is another side that Indonesians comprehend about the life of the so called communists by the new order regime. It sees the life of the people who are accused of murder and communism. The depiction is far from judging and framing their political agenda, it shows the reader how their life, as human, affected by the event.Culler (1997) states that literature is the noise of culture as well as its information, and it is a writing which requires readers to be engaged in the problem of meaning. Thus, one can learn the history of a nation through its literary works. Pulang is considered particular in its publication because it needs a 6 year process and its first publication was in 2012, the time when Indonesia has achieved a different level of democracy since 1960.First, this paper discusses how Indonesian history, particularly on its political turmoil in 1965, 1968 and 1998, are read and written by Indonesians. Second, it discusses how the present social context influences the discourse of the novel.Keywords: communism, history, new historicism

Abstract

Many people think that myth refers to only folklores or legends which have long been existed in a society. What if myth turns out to be more than just an ancient story our parents tell us? Through Paulo Coelho’s The Devil and Miss Prym, this article tries to find out the answer. In the novel, a ruthless person was described ruling a village named Viscos. He was Ahab, a man full of arrogance and meanness. He governed the village whose inhabitants are only a few. The existence of this Ahab is reminiscent of another Ahab found in the Bible. However, Coelho presents a surprise for the readers by creating a different Ahab, changing Ahab to a generous and pleasant man. This re-visioning (re-observing and re-examining from a different point of view) reveals the fact that the story of Ahab in the novel is more than merely an old story found in the Bible. Under the light of Roland Barthes’s theory of myth, this article aims at revealing how The Devil and Miss Prym re-visions the myth of King Ahab in the Bible. Myth in this novel can also be classified as the myth of freedom since it breaks some accepted concepts in society.Keywords: Re-vision, Myth, King Ahab

Abstract

The purpose of this study is twofold, looking into a Philippine dramatic text, Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero’s  three-act play Frustration, and finding the meaning of the work. The aim of bringing to bear upon it the analytical perspectives of New Criticism, Russian Formalism and Structuralism, is to highlight the belief that any approach implemented is but to reveal its covert meaning. This is indirectly agreeing with the credo l’art pour l’art and that of the so-called instrumentalism [or rather, antirealism] instead of exercising the ‘weird’ attitude of investigating the political style of pretending to appreciate and be concerned with literary works.  Keywords: criticism, colonialism, culture, covert meaning

Abstract

Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. “Shoes” is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word “shoes” are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes.Keywords: shoes, meanings, features

Abstract

This paper examines the interface of economic hardship, sexual repression, and fear of aging in Tennessee Williams’ plays of the 1950s. Set in modern capitalist society of America, The Rose Tattoo (1955) and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959) depict the characters who are thwarted in their search for freedom that can be equated with the celebration of material prosperity and eternal youth. Using Eric Fromm’s view of freedom-as-frightful in modern society, the discussion will reveal the entrapment of self-deception in the characters’ unrealistic hope to stay young and productive in a commercialised society where sex is a commodity.
