Abstract

In Indonesia, many types of motorcycle are produced and marketed. Most of them are made by foreign manufacturers. The manual books which are printed in foreign languages such as English may cause some problems for the motorcycle owners and users in the country. One of the problems is the translation of the technical terms in the manual books. It is thus challenging to analyze the translation techniques applied in the translation of the automotive technical terms in Yamaha Nmax Owner’s Manual, and the impact of translation techniques on the accuracy, acceptability and readability. Yamaha Nmax is one of the motorcycles with high sales rate in the country. The methods of data collection consist of content analysis and in-depth interview with the raters and respondents. The results show that there are 8 techniques used to translate the technical terms and the use of the techniques result in a translation which is in general accurate, acceptable, and readable. The technique which produces translations with high level of accuracy, acceptability and readability is established equivalent. Meanwhile, generalization tends to produce translations with low level of accuracy, while borrowing produces translations with low level of acceptability and readability.

Abstract

This research aims to present the analysis of Newspeak neologism translation in George Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty Four, in terms of the types of neologism found, the translation techniques used, and the techniques’ impact to the translation quality. It is a descriptive qualitative research using total sampling, obtaining 118 data of new words and phrasal words. The data were then grouped into several types of neologism based on proposal by Newmark (1988) and analysed for its translation techniques, using proposal of translation techniques by Molina and Albir (2002). Then, data about translation quality was obtained by employing questionnaires to three raters of translation quality. Findings of this research show that of ten types of neologism proposed by Newmark (1988), seven were found to be embodied in the data collection. 17 translation techniques are employed by the translator in form of six singular translation techniques and eleven multiple translation techniques. Based on quality assessment, it was found that the average translation quality of these terms amounted to 2.37 points, a number signifying near-high translation quality. However, there are some special cases which points out the irregularities of this result and needs further reviewing and considerations.

Abstract

The rise of ‘man in makeup’ trend in online platforms has brought male makeup artists to break down the gender stereotype and discrimination in beauty industry. Here, the research focused on a male makeup artist, James Charles, on his Instagram account, who brings the concept of ‘man in makeup’ to reject the transgender label. The research examined the way James Charles presents his gender concept, ‘man in makeup’ through his cultural practices on Instagram. The research shows that James Charles has failed in following the male role norms. However, this failure cannot put James Charles to crisis of masculinity. This happens because James Charles has negotiated the male role norms with the self feminizing. Thus, the feminine notion of makeup is not contradictory with his feminized male body, gestures, and identity. At the end, this research argues that ‘man in makeup’ gender concept has been accepted by the Instagram users.

Abstract

This research examines the representations of African-American stereotype and the struggle of Black American girl in National Spelling Bee contest in Hollywood movie entitled Akeelah and the Bee (2006). The use of African-American English (AAVE) is one of the stereotype often depicted in Hollywood movie. Race theories are used to examine the relationship between race, racism and power. Meanwhile, Roland Barthes’s theory and semiotic film theory are used to examine the meaning portrayed in the movie. Findings show that the representation of Akeelah as a successful participant in the spelling bee competition challenges the stereotype of African American as academic underclass, and as associated with crime, failure and frustration. Akeelah is represented as a successful African American girl as she assimilates (adopts) American values of change/mobility, time and its importance, action and work orientation. The assimilation is achieved through a mentoring process and support from African American community.
