“Mortality’S Wilting Flower:” Terror Management Theory And Music In Animated Films, Lauren Bertsch 2020 University of Rhode Island

“Mortality’S Wilting Flower:” Terror Management Theory And Music In Animated Films, Lauren Bertsch

Senior Honors Projects

There’s something about animated films - so full of light and wonder - that invokes this “warm and fuzzy” feeling when you sit down to watch it. Yet an entire spectrum of human emotion is demanded from us as an audience. Buried in the heart of animated films are these dark themes, problems that lie in the bedrock of humanity. And it leaves us pondering: why? The answer may actually stretch back to when our species developed thought and reason. In 1973, American anthropologist Ernest Becker uncovered the mental foundation that allows us to live, function, and thrive in a …

Workout Routine, Valeria Sofia Maynez

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Hope Services is an agency that focuses on supporting the community of adults with developmental disabilities. The work there focuses on finding employment avenues for the clients. This population faces difficulty in finding employment opportunities on their own and rely on these services for these resources. Everyone deserves the right to build an income and experience working in their lives. A disability or any obstacle shouldn’t prohibit a person of this opportunity. Due to an overdue stigma towards this group, they have to constantly prove they are fit to work and be productive assets in the workforce. This leads to …


The Transformation Of Edgar Huntly: An American Awakening, Willie C. Sosa 2020 University of Nevada, Las Vegas

The Transformation Of Edgar Huntly: An American Awakening, Willie C. Sosa

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Since Charles Brockden Brown published his first novels in the late eighteenth century, he has subsequently shifted back and forth, in importance, from the center to the periphery of the American literary canon. In recent years however, a dramatic increase in scholarship on Brown shows his significance is once again trending back toward the center of importance in this field. Scholarship has tended to coalesce around four topics which can be categorized as postcolonial expansion, the wild city, the distinction between the city and wildness, and identity. Looking closely at identity, although the discourse has done a thorough job of …

Journal of Tourism Insights

Pop-culture tourism has continuously grown its market among those who are fanatic of pop-culture, and destination marketers have noticed pop-culture as an effective marketing tool to attract more visitors. Pop-culture has been dominant by the US, but interestingly, a recent phenomenon sees a contra-cultural flow.

English Legalese Translation Into Indonesian, Haru Deliana Dewi, Andika Wijaya, Rahayu S. Hidayat

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

One of the difficulties in translating English legal texts derives from the uses of specialized language, also known as “legalese“. This research is a preliminary study which sets out to investigate the translation of English legalese into Indonesian in four open-accessed agreements. The data in English, which cover terms and expressions commonly used in legal documents, are classified into seven categories of legal English features. Their Indonesian translations are analysed by using Indonesian dictionaries to discover whether they can be considered as Indonesian legal language. The research finds that most English legalese terms and expressions studied are translated using common …

Mother’S Tongue And Father’S Culture; A Late Nineteenth-Century Javanese Versification Of Master Zhu’S Household Rules (Zhuzi Zhijia Geyan), Edwin P. Wieringa 2020 University of Cologne

Mother’S Tongue And Father’S Culture; A Late Nineteenth-Century Javanese Versification Of Master Zhu’S Household Rules (Zhuzi Zhijia Geyan), Edwin P. Wieringa

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The Serat Tiyang Gegriya or “Book for people on running their homes and households” is a Javanese versification of the famous seventeenth-century Chinese treatise Zhuzi Zhijia geyan (‘Master Zhu’s Household Rules‘), better known in the Anglophone world as “Maxims for managing the home” or “Family regulations”. Propagating the basic principles of Confucian ethics, this small treatise instructed generations of Chinese readers, presumedly adult males, lessons in proper behaviour. Today, Master Zhu’s little compendium is among the most reprinted works of classical Chinese popular literature. The Serat Tiyang Gegriya exists in the form of a manuscript, written in Surabaya in 1878, …

The Kyai’S Voice And The Arabic Qur’An; Translation, Orality, And Print In Modern Java, Johanna Pink 2020 Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany

The Kyai’S Voice And The Arabic Qur’An; Translation, Orality, And Print In Modern Java, Johanna Pink

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This paper discusses practices of translating the Qur’an into Javanese in the Indonesian post-independence era. Focusing on works that emerged in pedagogical contexts, it demonstrates that the range of translation practices goes far beyond contemporary notions of scriptural translation. I argue that this is due to the oral origin of these practices and to the functions they assume in teaching contexts. These result in a higher visibility of the translator who appears as a religious authority in his1 own right. His voice might therefore be considered a valuable contribution to the translation, rather than a distortion of the source text’s …


Finding Meaning In Translation; A.L. Becker’S “Text Coherence”, Thomas M. Hunter 2020 University of British Columbia

Finding Meaning In Translation; A.L. Becker’S “Text Coherence”, Thomas M. Hunter

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

In this article I look at two closely related examples of A.L. Becker’s work on textual coherence and how they can be used as tools for finding meaning in translation. In the first example I draw on Becker and Oka’s work on deixis in Old Javanese (1974) to elucidate the subtle shifts of spatial and temporal reference in “Sītā’s Letter”, an innovative episode in the Old Javanese Rāmāyaṇa (OJR 11.18- 34). In the second example, I look at Becker’s analysis of the role of Indonesian verbal markers in his essay “The figure a sentence makes; An interpretation of a Classical …


Under The Shadow Of Philology; Some Notes On Translating Hikayat Seri Rama For A Modern Non-Academic Audience, Harry Aveling 2020 Monash University, Melbourne

Under The Shadow Of Philology; Some Notes On Translating Hikayat Seri Rama For A Modern Non-Academic Audience, Harry Aveling

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article describes some of the issues that arose during the author’s experience of translating the Malay Hikayat Seri Rama into English, as a literary rather than a philological text. These include the choice of a source text, the nature of the language used in the translation, and the treatment of the most distinctive features of the text, including its focus on Rawana, its setting in a Muslim narrative frame, and its use of the worldview of a medieval Malay court. Linguistic issues are discussed through reference to the concept of “units of translation”. This practice can also be utilized …


Translation Ideology In Literary Translation; A Case Study Of Bram Stoker’S Dracula Translation Into Indonesian, Doni Jaya 2020 International Language Institute, Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Indonesia (LBI FIB UI)

Translation Ideology In Literary Translation; A Case Study Of Bram Stoker’S Dracula Translation Into Indonesian, Doni Jaya

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

A literary text typically contains many cultural elements often presented in a very concise manner to enhance its readability and aesthetic quality. Its translation can be challenging when there is a gap between source culture and target culture. Thus, a translator has to make an ideological choice: either to foreignize or to domesticize. This paper aims to identify and examine the ideology applied by a literary translator when translating culturally-divergent translation units. Bram Stoker’s Dracula and its Indonesian translation by Suwarni were selected as data source due to the novel’s significant number of cultural references unfamiliar to modern Indonesians. Forty …

L’Image De L'Univers Dans La Langue Etude Épistémologique, Ahmad Safar

Al Jinan الجنان

La langue a toujours fait l’objet d’une réflexion chez l’Homme depuis que ce dernier s’est rendu compte de son existence. La nature de cette réflexion fut philosophique, esthétique ou linguistique. Dès que l’Homme a pris conscience de la langue qu’il parle, aussi bien dans sa pensée que dans l›existence de la langue en tant qu›entité distincte, il a exclue l›idée du hasard de son analyse linguistique et historique. A. Roman souligne que toute langue humaine naturelle »apparaît dans l’histoire comme une entité constituée déjà par un usage immémorial, et tendant à exclure le hasard »A partir de là, la relation …
