Abstract

When the American colonial regime set up the Philippine public school system in the first decade of 1900s, it installed a curriculum that was heavily based on the American educational system. The English literature and humanities curriculum, in particular, was heavily Anglo-American notwithstanding the Filipinos’ lack of proficiency in the English language in the early years. By the third decade of the American occupation, the Filipinos who had been able to attend the university in the country and abroad and had developed a higher level of competence in the English language, began to produce writers and critics who had been trained formally in the Anglo-American literary and critical modes. This generation produced the first Filipino “modernist” writers, who would later constitute the canon of Philippine Literature. Soon after, Filipino writers in Tagalog and the other Philippine languages began to develop a taste for modernist writing as well and soon produced their own kind of “modernistas.” Ironically, as Americanization in literature developed inroads in Philippine letters in the major languages, Filipino writers in English and Philippine languages, specifically, were to be split into two camps, the “art for arts’ sake” camp (the modernists), led by Jose Garcia Villa, and the socially oriented camp (the socially oriented writers) led by Salvador P. Lopez. The first claimed to be heir to Anglo-Americanmodernist writers whose works they had read; the second were said to be heir to the local tradition of socially-oriented writings in Philippine literature which tradition they ostensibly wished to keep alive. Numerous polemical exchanges would ensue from the 1900s to the 1940s shortly before World War II, which were published in the daily newspapers and weekly magazines. The polemics would embody the contradictions as well as the ambivalences of the Filipino writers’ reception of AngloAmerican literary “modernism,” outline the contours of “modernism” in Philippine literature, and underscore the continuing unease that Filipino writers today, especially those writing in Philippine languages, about “western” modernism, and the desire to go past it, resulting in the development of a complex if contradictory kind of modernism and a sense of modernity and the role of language in this development. Key words: modernity, modernism, Philippine literature

Abstract

This study examines the presence of mores as one aspect which constructs the social life in society as portrayed in Ibsen’s Ghosts. The mores as a manifestation of society’s demands become important key aspect which may give influence in one’s life in his efforts to build social interaction within the community. Through the mores, the society’s expectation of ideal social situation is being projected. Some problems have been formulated as follows to see the way the major characters deal with the mores and the impact that may occur in their life. Firstly, it observes how the major characters are presented and what are the mores practiced. Secondly, it discusses what the impact of the mores on the major characters’ life that comes out as the result of major characters’ responses toward the mores. Based on the analysis, it shows that characters’ characteristics are various. The obdurate and conservative characteristic can be seen through Manders while Mrs. Alving is presented as an openminded and critical though she seems like a doubter. Being different is Oswald which is more expressive, liberal and rebellious. The various kinds of characteristics above have significant role in the way a character response the demands of the society (the mores). Meanwhile in the world of reality, sometimes what is considered as an ideal in mores is not always appropriate to be applied in the real condition. This dilemma may lead some people to give various responses or even behave recklessly in dealing with mores. Then, consequently, whatever the response taken or shown by the people in responding the mores at last will bring a new impact in their life as an individual. Keywords: the mores, society, social life

Abstract

Literature is said to be the medium where author expresses his experience in life, especially on the relationship with the creator. This idea could be clearly seen in the Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew where C.S. Lewis, the author, expresses Christian concepts, stories, and teaching he understands throughout his life. Those all are expressed through symbolism due to its capability in making association with human experience as well as conveying any complex ideas in a form of concrete objects which are easily understood by the readers.Keywords: expressive approach, symbol, Christianity

Abstract

This paper is a psychoanalytical analysis of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars (2012), aiming at identifying Hazel Grace Lancaster’s, the main character of the novel, self defense mechanisms and core issues as well as their potential causes. In so doing, this paper employs psychoanalysis theory by Sigmund Freud as its analytical tool. As a literary research, it uses a descriptive qualitative method, where we read the novel thoroughly, focused on the character and characterization of Hazel Grace and compared and analyzed it along with the theories that are used. The finding of this research is that this novel does contain its main character’s self-defense mechanisms and core issues evidence. The potential cause of the self-defense mechanisms can also be inferred from the character’s development and childhood. And yet, since this novel does not provide any clue or evidence as to how the main character develop her cBerliore issues, we come to the conclusion that this novel is not a complete psychological novel. Keywords: psychoanalysis, self-defense mechanisms, core issues

Abstract

Style is a distinctive feature found in language use. One example of language use is a speech. In stylistics, the use of modality in a speech can reveal the speaker’s style. Subsequently, a style that is shown through the modality can reflect the speaker’s ideology. This study aimed to find out the ideology reflected by the modality of Melania Trump’s and Ivanka Trump’s campaign speeches. The speeches were delivered at the Republican National Convention last July 19th, 2016. There were two objectives discussed in this study. First is to find out the type of modality employed by Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump in their campaign speeches. Second is to reveal the ideologies reflected by the use of the modality. A stylistic approach was employed to discuss the types of modality to figure out the ideologies reflected. The data were taken by employing population study. From the analysis, it was found out that there were four types of modality employed by Melania Trump’s speech: inclination, obligation, potentiality and ability, and probability. In Ivanka Trump’s speech, there were five types of modality found: inclination, usuality, potentiality and ability, probability, and obligation. There were two ideologies reflected by the use of modality. The ideologies found in both speeches were similar. Those were commitment and self-promotion. The commitments were proved by the existence of inclination, while self-promotion is proven by the existence of potentiality and ability, and usuality types of modality. Keywords: speech, modality, ideology, stylistics

Abstract

This study analyzes how crisis of identity and mimicry occurs in the postcolonial discourse. A local native character whose name is U Po Kyin is the focus of the study. As a native character, he holds a high ranking position for local in the British Raj in Burma. However, he is portrayed as a corrupt official as he accepts bribes and denounces his rival. His ambition to get the membership, an elite European Club, drives him infuriated to destroy his rival’s reputation because naturally it is him who would be elected as the first local member of the Club. At the end of the novel, Kyin finally secures his membership but he fails to atone his evil-doings by building pagodas as a Buddhist. Kyin’s attitude is seen as how he manages to deal with his inferiority towards the British. He is also observed to mimic the British as his strategy to erase the idea of being colonized.There are two problem formulations in this study. The first is to find out how U Po Kyin suffers from crisis of identity through his characterization in the novel. Then, the second objective is to understand how his crisis of identity leads him to mimic the British.This study condludes that U Po Kyin suffers from crisis of identity. He is oppressed conscious and unconsciously by the British. This causes his self-image to be eroded. Even though he is relatively wealthier than his fellow natives, he still craves for more as he realizes that there is something more than money. He wants to be detached from his inferiority. The elite European Club represents his ambition because it offers him status to be like the British. That is why he schemes to crush his rival. In his schemes, denigrating his rival means to mimic the British because he needs to differ himself from the natives. However, he is still powerless because the British still consider him as the subject of colonialization. Keywords: crisis of identity, mimicry, postcolonial reading

Abstract

Children with disabilities are often considered less capable than those without disabilities. In Indonesian children’s literature, disability is under-represented and the need to start representing disability in Indonesian children’s literature is pressing. Inclusive books imposing on the development of empathy leads to actions in dignifying children of all types, with or without disabilities. Some inclusive children’s literature worldwide set good examples of dignifying children. This paper tries to elaborate the urgency of having accessible inclusive children’s literature in Indonesia by collecting and presenting examples of inclusive children’s literature around the world which represents disabilities as diversities in society.

Abstract

One of recent problems in our country is the habit of being consumerist – buying things which are not needed to update the trend. Some people think that it is not a big problem, but some do not. Avoiding its negative effect is the answer to this problem. This can be done through learning past experiences in the literary works, in this case Fitzgerald’s novel. The Great Gatsby depicts not only love but also consumerism. Through analyzing the sign of green light using Umberto Eco’s semiotic theory, we can see the bad effect of consumerism in the past and anticipate it for our future by applying its oppositional structure. The sign of green light is not merely an orgiastic feature. It is a tool for Fitzgerald to ‘fight’ consumerism effect.

Abstract

It is reasonable to highlight that approving the use of intra-lingual and extra-lingual components means justifying the signs of one’s politeness strategies to have appropriate communication. It would be rather different, however, when the scope is within the students’ writing skills. This paper focuses on the student’s implementation of those linguistic components as seen in their work assigned in Mass Media Communication (Journalism) class of the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta. Not only does the discussion engage with the course objectives such as being able to make use of the language of news and the nature of investigative report, but it also involves the burning question of how politeness strategies portray such an appropriate application of the two linguistic components. Analysing the students work is, thus, an unavoidable method to use. This research paper is also grounded on the Indonesian indigenous wisdom sarujuk sithik-edhing [committing to win-win solution] of Katresnanism theory, contextualizing the students with the pro-active spirit of cultural pluralism as the nature of International journalism.

Abstract

It is obviously misleading to regard that play-on-word activities are unimportant or trivial in human life. In many diverse societies, punning activities have very central roles in rituals as well as in cultural transformation processes. The importance of role played by punning activities attracts me to discuss the functions of language found in Stand Up Comedy, the most recent and popular comedy show broadcasted by Metro TV Station. This television program shows the skillfulness of comedians in telling jokes in front of its audience who are mostly teenagers or adolescents. Joking activities play central roles in human life because of their various functions, especially to criticize various social conditions that happen in the speakers’ community. However, to create unaggressive and constructive criticisms, the comedians build an intimate relation with their audience to create an effective deliverance. Consequently, they use certain moods of interaction using informal language styles which are full of ambiguities that can easily confuse audience’s perceptions about many things. This is, of course, for the sake of eliciting audience’s smiles and laughter. Keywords: stand-up comedy, language play, contextual framing
