Muhammad Zakiul Fikri, Nursabrina Brilian, Yentri Anggeraini, Sary Silvhiany — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the cultural meanings and symbolic values embedded in the Ceriak Ngelem and Ceriak Nerang rituals as forms of local wisdom in maintaining ecological harmony. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation related to these traditions. The findings show that the Jerieng community preserves environmental balance through cultural prohibitions (pantangan) that regulate interactions between humans and nature. These prohibitions function as mechanisms of social and ecological equilibrium, guiding sustainable practices. The study highlights the relevance of local ecological knowledge as a valuable resource for addressing contemporary environmental challenges. Additionally, integrating this wisdom into language education is proposed as a strategic approach to raising environmental awareness among learners.

Ershanda Handayani, Krisna Sujiwa, Yusrina Dinar Prihatika — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines racial injustice and forms of resistance represented in the film American Skin (2021). Using Critical Race Theory, a post-nationalist perspective, and Douglas Kellner’s Popular Culture framework, the research addresses systemic racism within U.S. policing and legal institutions. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, key scenes, dialogues, and narrative strategies are analyzed to reveal representations of institutional racism, legal inequality, racial profiling, and media framing. The findings show that American Skin constructs a counter-narrative of resistance through counter-storytelling that amplifies marginalized Black voices and exposes structural oppression. Analysis of audience responses on Rotten Tomatoes indicates polarized reception, demonstrating how popular culture operates as a contested ideological space. Overall, the film functions as both media representation and cultural resistance, contributing to public discourse on racial justice

POWER AND CLASS IN SORRY WE MISSED YOU: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Nadia Dwi Pertiwi, Wiwiek Afifah — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines representations of power and social class in Ken Loach’s film Sorry We Missed You through the discourse of the gig economy. Using Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis combined with Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of symbolic power, this qualitative research analyzes selected film dialogues at the textual, discursive, and social practice levels. The findings reveal that gig workers are depicted as independent and self-employed, yet this apparent autonomy conceals structural dependence, economic precarity, and managerial control. Power relations are reproduced through linguistic choices that normalize gig-economy ideology and shift exploitation into personal responsibility. The study demonstrates how film discourse exposes hidden ideological structures within flexible labor systems and highlights the need for critical awareness of gig work realities.

Nahnu Robid Jiwandono — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Formal language varieties often have more rigid and binding rules, so there is a greater chance of errors being found in their use. The purpose of this study is to analyze language errors made by students seen from the linguistic level, which includes: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse. This study uses the content analysis method to analyze language errors found in research data in the form of language utterances. The results of this study indicate that in students' language utterances in formal situations in classroom learning activities, various language errors are found at the levels of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse.
