POWER ISSUES IN RACE AND ETHNICITY: A POSTCOLONIAL READING OF CULTURAL REPRESENTATION IN “EMILY IN PARIS”

Cindy Zahra Devita (Author) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This paper examines the dynamics of power, race, and ethnicity in Netflix’s Emily in Paris (2020–present) through the lens of postcolonial theory. While the series is often celebrated for its cosmopolitan aesthetics and lighthearted portrayal of cross-cultural encounters, it simultaneously reproduces neo-colonial power relations embedded in Western media discourse. Drawing on the theoretical insights of Stuart Hall, Homi K. Bhabha, bell hooks, and Richard Dyer, this study explores how Emily in Paris constructs cultural hierarchies through the commodification of difference and the normalization of whiteness as a universal standard. Employing a qualitative textual analysis, the research investigates how the protagonist’s “American perspective” symbolizes a continuation of cultural imperialism disguised as modernity and empowerment. Through its depiction of fashion, marketing, and interpersonal dynamics, the series frames the Western, specifically American, subject as an agent of progress and rationality amid a supposedly backward or resistant local culture. The findings reveal that beneath its global appeal and superficial diversity, Emily in Paris perpetuates asymmetrical power structures that align with postcolonial critiques of representation and cultural hegemony. This study contributes to broader discussions in cultural and media studies by highlighting how postcolonial frameworks remain vital for understanding racial and ethnic representation in contemporary global entertainment.

Firmansyah Diyata (Author) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The process of language learning is normally conducted in three stages. Those stages are presentation, practice and production. To create interactive atmosphere, teacher can provide some spaces of interaction in each stage. The spaces of interaction in every stage can be in the forms of lead in questions, inviting students opinions and questions, and discussing the solvation of the problems on the provided tasks. Through those forms of interactions, teacher can give opportunities for his students to practice their ability in speaking English. The opportunity for the students to speak English when they are learning English is considered as the main requirement for a learning meeting to be called an interactive learning process. Besides that, the article also reveals how teacher’s choice of handouts and innovation of the tasks of the handouts play very important role to create interactive learning approach. To prove how the idea of providing some spaces of the interaction in every stage can be conducted and how other supporting elements play significant role in assisting it, the discussion takes past tense material as an example. By reviewing the idea in this article, it is hoped that the teacher who needs a reference in teaching tense material interactively thugh three P can consider it as one of them.

THE REPRESENTATION OF EMOTIONAL VULNERABILITY IN CALLA SONG BY WAVE TO EARTH: A SEMIOTIC STUDY OF ROLAND BARTHES

Adira Maesya Sabilla, Aisha Adha Ainiya, R. Myrna Nur Sakinah (Author) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study analyzes the semiotic meanings of the song "Calla" by Wave to Earth through Roland Barthes’ framework of denotation, connotation, and myth. The song portrays emotional intimacy, vulnerability, and healing using natural imagery such as rain, sunlight, clouds, and flowers. It raises a research problem regarding how linguistic signs in the lyrics represent love as a protective and transforming force within cultural contexts. The theoretical foundation is grounded in Barthes' semiotic theory, which uncovers multiple layers of meaning from literal narrative to deeper emotional and ideological associations. A qualitative descriptive method is applied by analyzing selected lyrics as textual data, carefully interpreting symbolic expressions of emotional vulnerability, hope, and resilience. Findings reveal that denotatively, the song captures moments of togetherness and care, while at the connotative level, natural metaphors like "raindrops shine like stars" symbolize emotional openness and release. Mythologically, the song constructs dominant ideologies portraying love as healing power, nature reflecting human emotions, vulnerability as beauty, and resilience as a process of ongoing growth. Overall, "Calla" serves as a poetic reflection on emotional recovery and human intimacy, demonstrating how music functions as a culturally rich system of signs that communicate universal feelings through specific symbolic language. This analysis contributes to the understanding of contemporary pop music as a medium for expressing complex emotional and cultural meanings.

DECONSTRUCTING THE MYTH OF SOCIAL MOBILITY IN THE FILM PARASITE (2019)

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 22:10:07 +0700

Bong Joon-ho's Parasite (2019) is not merely a story about economic disparity, but a critique of the illusion of success within modern capitalism. While previous research has largely highlighted types of signs (icons/indexes/symbols), this study aims to uncover the hidden meanings behind these signs using Roland Barthes' semiotic framework: Denotation, Connotation, and Myth. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analysis key narrative objects such as the Scholar's Stone (Suiseki), "The Line," and "The Plan." The analysis reveals that the Scholar's Stone is not merely a symbol of hope, but a false "Myth" of meritocracy. Mr. Park's "Line" represents the connotation of invisible class segregation, while the failure of Ki-taek's "Plan" deconstructs the myth that poverty can be overcome simply through hard work. This study concludes that Parasite operates by dismantling the cultural myths that have long lulled the working class into complacency.

PENGARUH MEDIA DIGITAL TERHADAP PERUBAHAN PILIHAN BAHASA DI KALANGAN REMAJA: SEBUAH KAJIAN SOSIOLINGUISTIK

Nurfithri, Juhridin (Author) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 11:59:15 +0700

Penelitian ini mengkaji dinamika pilihan bahasa remaja Indonesia dalam ruang digital dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan desain deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi digital, dokumentasi tangkapan layar, dan wawancara semi-terstruktur terhadap 20 remaja berusia 13–19 tahun dari beberapa daerah besar di Indonesia. Dari total 350 data tuturan, ditemukan pola perubahan bahasa yang signifikan, terutama dalam bentuk campur kode Indonesia–Inggris, integrasi bahasa daerah, penggunaan istilah budaya populer global, serta munculnya gaya bahasa digital seperti singkatan, emotikon, dan bentuk ekspresi kreatif berbasis internet. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media digital menjadi ruang utama terjadinya inovasi linguistik, mendukung konsep mediated sociolinguistic change (Androutsopoulos, 2014) dan linguistic revolution (Crystal, 2006). Faktor yang memengaruhi pilihan bahasa meliputi identitas digital, solidaritas kelompok, pengaruh algoritma platform, serta kebutuhan akan komunikasi cepat dan efisien. Analisis juga menegaskan bahwa praktik bahasa remaja bersifat performatif dan menjadi sarana pembentukan identitas sosial, sejalan dengan teori Eckert (2000), serta memperlihatkan kecenderungan translanguaging sebagaimana dijelaskan García (2009). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa perkembangan bahasa Indonesia di era digital semakin bersifat hibrida, variatif, dan dinamis, sehingga diperlukan perhatian lebih lanjut dalam kajian linguistik dan pendidikan bahasa untuk memahami dampak jangka panjangnya terhadap norma dan penggunaan bahasa Indonesia..
