Representasi Warga Tionghoa Dan Kecinaan Dalam Media Kontemporer Indonesia, Ezmieralda Melissa Apr 2013

Representasi Warga Tionghoa Dan Kecinaan Dalam Media Kontemporer Indonesia, Ezmieralda Melissa

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi transportasi dan komunikasi di era globalisasi ini, proses hibriditas budayapun berlangsung dengan cepat. Di satu sisi, kondisi ini mendorong orang-orang untuk mengenal dan belajar tentang berbagai budaya yang ada dalam masyarakat modern kita. Di sisi lain, kondisi ini juga mengangkat sejumlah permasalahan penting, seperti munculnya kesalahpahaman dan diskriminasi terhadap kelompok minoritas. Sejak jatuhnya rezim Soeharto pada tahun 1998, banyak kelompok yang dulunya tertindas, termasuk etnis Tionghoa, muncul dan membuat diri mereka didengar pada era demokrasi baru bangsa ini. Seiring peraturan pemerintah baru yang memperbolehkan kelompok ini untuk mempraktikkan budaya mereka tanpa batasanbatasan tertentu, kondisi masyarakat Tionghoa …

‘Kami Juga Punya Suara’: Dunia Blogging Buruh Migran Indonesia Di Hong Kong Sebagai Politik Budaya, Pratiwi Retnaningdyah

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

Buruh migran domestik merupakan sosok yang sudah lama diperdebatkan sebagai kelompok perempuan yang paling dieksploitasi dan disubordinasi dalam konteks pembagian kerja di dunia kapitalisme global. Meskipun demikian, mereka sebenarnya aktif terlibat dalam berbagai kegiatan untuk bernegosiasi dengan struktur kekuasaan di pasar kerja transnasional. Tulisan ini mengulas bagaimana dan mengapa literasi digital memiliki peranan penting dalam kiprah Buruh Migran Indonesia (BMI). Saya berargumen bahwa BMI aktif melakukan 'reverse discourse’ secara individu dan kolektif untuk memperjuangan nilai dan legitimasi BMI melalu dunia blogging. Sebagai upaya untuk merekonstruksi identitas dan memberdayakan komunitas, dunia blogging adalah politik budaya, di mana identitas buruh migran dimaknai …

Hasrat Untuk Mati: Eksplorasi Tema Bunuh Diri Di Tempat Umum Dalam Novel Lenka, Dewi Anggraeni

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

Terinspirasi oleh sejumlah kasus bunuh diri di pusat-pusat perbelanjaan (mall) di Jakarta pada2009, 17 penulis bekerja bersama untuk menulis sebuah novel berjudul Lenka dengan menjadikan kasus bunuh diri di tempat umum sebagai tema sentral. Tulisan ini mencermati bagaimana novel sebagai salah satu wujud media terbitan (publishing media) mengeksploitasi satu bagian realitas melalui proses kreatif dan mampu menyodorkan perspektif berbeda akan motif bunuh diri di tempat umum. Selain itu, aspek-aspek fiktif dalam novel dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mencermati kompleksitas di balik kasus bunuh diri yang tidak tereksplorasi oleh media massa. Tulisan ini juga mencoba menyentuh satu isu besar berkaitan dengan upaya tiada …

Televisi Lokal: Antara Kepentingan Korporat Dan Fungsi Sosial, Bram Hendrawan Apr 2013

Televisi Lokal: Antara Kepentingan Korporat Dan Fungsi Sosial, Bram Hendrawan

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

Kebanyakan studi mengenai televisi lokal di Indonesia fokus pada televisi sebagai mediumkonstruksi ruang publik dan identitas budaya. Pendekatan sosial ini melewatkan karakter penting yaitu komersialitas. Penelitian ini menelaah strategi korporat (struktur kepemilikan, perluasan wilayah siaran dan sumber pemasukan) yang dilakukan oleh dua televisi lokal swasta di Yogyakarta dan Solo: Jogja TV dan TATV. Pertanyaan utama yang diajukan adalah apakah strategi korporasi yang diterapkan membatasi fungsi sosial dari televisi lokal dan bagaimana ini bisa terjadi? Dalam artikel ini penulis beragumen bahwa strategi korporat kedua stasiun televisi ini membatasi potensi yang ada untuk menjalankan fungsi sosial televisi lokal sebagaimana diidamkan para pendukungnya. …


Social Media And The Transformation Of The Humanitarian Narrative: A Comparative Analysis Of Humanitarian Discourse In Libya 2011 And Bosnia 1994, Ellen Noble Apr 2013

Social Media And The Transformation Of The Humanitarian Narrative: A Comparative Analysis Of Humanitarian Discourse In Libya 2011 And Bosnia 1994, Ellen Noble

Political Science Honors Projects

Within humanitarian discourse, there is a prevailing narrative: the powerful liberal heroes are saving the helpless, weak victims. However, the beginning of the 21st century marks the expansion of the digital revolution throughout lesser-developed states. Growing access to the Internet has enabled aid recipients to communicate with the outside world, giving them an unprecedented opportunity to reshape discourses surrounding humanitarianism. Through a comparative discourse analysis of Libyan Tweets, 1994 newspaper reports on Bosnia, and 2011 newspaper reports on Libya, this paper analyzes whether aid recipient discourse can resist the dominant humanitarian narrative and if that resistance can influence dominant …

"It's Just That For The First Time, I Feel... Wicked": A Rhetorical Analysis Of Wicked's Elphaba Using Kenneth Burke's Guilt-Purification-Redemption Cycle, Patricia Foreman

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the Broadway production, Wicked, and more specifically, the character of Elphaba, or the Wicked Witch of the West. The study utilized Kenneth Burke's theory of the guilt-purification-redemption cycle, and considered Elphaba's journey between the three steps of Burke's cycle. In order to understand this journey better, the researcher considered various facets of the show, including the script, lyrics, costuming, including attire and make-up, and interactions with other characters in the production. Elphaba's causes of guilt, including her mother's death, her relationship with Glinda, her cause in working with Animals, and failed magic …


Damsels And Heroines: The Conundrum Of The Post-Feminist Disney Princess, Cassandra Stover Mar 2013

Damsels And Heroines: The Conundrum Of The Post-Feminist Disney Princess, Cassandra Stover

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

This research explores cultural shifts in the popularity of the Disney princess in American culture, especially its postmodern resurgence, as well as the complex relationship between Disney’s recent representations of women in the 1990’s and post-feminist ideology. My project begins by analyzing the historic appearance of the Disney female in relation to the women’s movements. I also examine lingering anti-feminist backlash in representations of what I call “New Wave” Disney heroines. Finally, I examine the implications of post-feminist discourse and advertising for young female viewers.


Re-Masculating The Vampire: Conceptions Of Sexuality And The Undead From Rossetti's Proserpine To Meyer's Cullen, Emily Schuck Mar 2013

Re-Masculating The Vampire: Conceptions Of Sexuality And The Undead From Rossetti's Proserpine To Meyer's Cullen, Emily Schuck

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

This paper explores the relationship between sexuality and the undead from Victorian England to present day vampire narratives. Specifically, I examine the shift in the vampire narrative from the frightening Dracula to the extremely sexualized nature of vampires in the early twenty-first century. My results are concerned with the nature and exchange of fluids between vampire bodies and their victims (or lovers) and the power associated with that exchange. My conclusion implies that re-masculating the vampire is a return to a patriarchal dominant discourse promulgates the heteronormative status quo, unlike their early predecessors, which tend to undermine heteronormative sexuality.


Chicana Aesthetics: A View Of Unconcealed Alterities And Affirmations Of Chicana Identity Through Laura Aguilar’S Photographic Images, Daniel Perez Mar 2013

Chicana Aesthetics: A View Of Unconcealed Alterities And Affirmations Of Chicana Identity Through Laura Aguilar’S Photographic Images, Daniel Perez

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

In this paper I will argue that Chicana feminist artist Laura Aguilar, Alma Lopez, Laura Molina, and Yreina D. Cervantez established a continuing counter-narrative of cultural hegemony and Western essentialized hegemonic identification. Through artistic expression they have developed an oppositional discourse that challenges racial stereotypes, discrimination, socio-economic inequalities, political representation, sexuality, femininity, and hegemonic discourse. I will present a complex critique of both art and culture through an inquiry of the production and evaluation of the Chicana feminist artist, their role as the artist, and their contributions to unfixing the traditional and marginalized feminine. I argue that third wave Chicana …


A Christian Understanding Of Aesthetic Agency: A Theological Framework Of Resistance To Cultural Imperialism, Elise Edwards Mar 2013

A Christian Understanding Of Aesthetic Agency: A Theological Framework Of Resistance To Cultural Imperialism, Elise Edwards

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

Aesthetic agency refers to conditions, capacities, and states that inform artistic forms of acting and exerting power on social structures. In resistance to the marginalization of women of color, aesthetic agency is exercised through creative acts of culture-making and critique of such practices to challenge domination and representation of the oppressed other. To support this work as a feminist Christian ethicist, I construct a theological framework for aesthetic agency. This paper proposes a theological understanding of transformative aesthetics and then describes the exercise of aesthetic agency for Christian communities by using a television special, Black Girls Rock! as an example.


Beauty-Ful Inferiority: Female Subservience In Disney’S Beauty And The Beast, Jeremy Chow Mar 2013

Beauty-Ful Inferiority: Female Subservience In Disney’S Beauty And The Beast, Jeremy Chow

LUX: A Journal of Transdisciplinary Writing and Research from Claremont Graduate University

The ubiquity of Disney movies has certainly transformed the American cultural landscape. The Disney zeitgeist manifests itself as generations of children actively seek Prince Charmings, unrealistic fairy tale relationships and the omnipotent, happily-ever-after. One such Disney favorite, Beauty and the Beast (1991), reveals typical Disney themes such as the power of altruism, the transformation of the anthropomorphic, and the catharsis of true love. Yet, under these benevolent-seeming Disney themes lurk more sinister, subliminal messages. Beauty and the Beast promotes female subservience and subjugation in addition to the glorification of abusive relationships. Belle, the female protagonist, embodies these gendered disparities and …

Mencari Makna Pembangunan Sosial: Studi Kasus Sektor Informal Di Kota Solo, Paulus Wirutomo Jan 2013

Mencari Makna Pembangunan Sosial: Studi Kasus Sektor Informal Di Kota Solo, Paulus Wirutomo

Masyarakat: Jurnal Sosiologi

The present development concept has been widely criticized for being too sectoral and growth oriented. A new concept like Human Development introduced by the United Nation is a good alternative, but it is still sectoral in nature. This article tries to offer a more sociological concept of development, since it is based on the contention that to develop human being we have to develop its society. It means to develop “the basic elements of socio-cultural life” namely: the structural, cultural and processual elements. By analyzing the data on the informal sector in Solo collected with SSM methodology, I have come …

Mlipir: The Genesis Within Relations Of Production Between Industrial Sector And Rural Society, Rahardika Arista Utama Jan 2013

Mlipir: The Genesis Within Relations Of Production Between Industrial Sector And Rural Society, Rahardika Arista Utama

Masyarakat: Jurnal Sosiologi

This paper examines how the interactions between industrial development actors in rural setting reflect the internal dynamics of Third World countries that maintain dependence on developed countries. The diverse discussion on the impact of industrialization which mostly emphasized on particular issues is difficult to depict the comprehensive situation on the impacted society. Further analysis which recognized the existence of the mutual relations among state, market, and society is necessary to best describe the invisible but essential impact of industrialization. Thus, this paper argues that inequality is the essential impact of industrialization which has been emerged in various form of social …

A Study In Sherlock, Rebecca Mclaughlin Jan 2013

A Study In Sherlock, Rebecca Mclaughlin

Undergraduate Review

In 2010, the BBC launched its newest series, Sherlock. The show was an instant success in the UK, Europe, and the United States. In early 2012, Season Two aired with even greater success. But we might ask why, nearly 120 years after he was first introduced, the character of Sherlock Holmes, along with his companion Dr. John Watson, still captures the attention of TV audiences? My study examines the representation of this fictional male friendship as a popular culture phenomenon both at the turn of the twentieth century and today. Focusing on the representation of domesticity and unmarried men, …


A Developmental Approach To Civility And Bystander Intervention, Jennifer Q. Mccary Jan 2013

A Developmental Approach To Civility And Bystander Intervention, Jennifer Q. Mccary

College Life Publications

The students of color in your classroom experience discrimination every day, in small and large ways. They don’t often see themselves represented in their textbooks, and encounter hostility in school, and outside. For them race is a constant reality, and an issue they need, and want, to discuss. Failure to do so can inhibit their academic performance.

Failure to discuss race prevents White students from getting a real, critical and deep understanding of our society and their place in it. It is essential for the well-being of all students that they learn to have constructive conversations about the history of …


"Kissing For Equality" And "Dining For Freedom": Analyzing The Ego-Function Of The August 2012 Chick-Fil-A Demonstrations, Jill M. Weber Jan 2013

"Kissing For Equality" And "Dining For Freedom": Analyzing The Ego-Function Of The August 2012 Chick-Fil-A Demonstrations, Jill M. Weber

Communication Studies Faculty Scholarship

In August 2012, thousands of Americans traveled to their local Chick-fil-A restaurants to participate in the Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day and the National Same Sex Kiss Day, two demonstrations designed to show support and opposition, respectively, to the company’s public endorsement of the “biblical definition of the family unit.” This essay draws upon Richard B. Gregg’s theory of the ego-function to analyze the important persuasive functions the protests served for the participants involved. An analysis of the messages shared among members in the groups’ respective Facebook pages shows that the participants promoted a message of victimage, virtuousness, importance, strength, and unity. …

South Africa: Newsrooms In Transition, Margaretha Geertsema-Sligh

Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication

South African is a beautiful country with a a diverse citizenry at the Southernmost tip of the African continent. But the nation also has a long history of racial struggle, which includes an era of racial segregation, called apartheid that ended formally in 1994 after nearly 50 years of policital oppression and protest. The country today is a land of contrasts. It has a vibrant media scene and one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, guaranteeing equality for all and freedom of the press. Women are breaking through newsroom boundaries, making up about half of the journalism workforce, …

The Roma And Wall Street/Ceos: Linguistic Construction Of Identity In U.S. And Canadian Crime Reports, Theresa Catalano

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

Discriminatory practices against Roma (also known as Romanies) occur on a daily basis in many countries around the world through media discourse. This paper investigates the representation of Romanies in U.S. and Canadian online newspaper crime reports and compares this representation to Wall Street/CEOs in crime reports demonstrating how identity of both groups is constructed through a variety of linguistic and non-linguistic strategies. Drawing on Mayr and Machin’s (2012) critical linguistic analysis of the language of crime, this multimodal study incorporates a variety of tools such as Critical Discourse Analysis and Cognitive Linguistics in order to dig below the surface …
