2024-02-01T07:47:43+07:00

Happened in 2011, Japanese people will never forget the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster as one of the saddest memories. More than ten years passed, and now Fukushima is starting to “move.” As it aims to understand the pattern of how the media frames this news topic, this research explores how Japanese media frames the topic of how Fukushima is “moving” after ten years have passed since the disaster. To achieve its aim, this research employs thematic analysis of the news data that were gathered from YouTube. Through the analysis, how the Japanese media framed the news was thick with elements of collectivism, as it is seen that the media frames the city-society as a unity and has a strong correlation even to the socio-cultural level. Elaborated with Nakane’s (1989) frame and attribute, it can be seen that the media framed the city as a spatial communal frame that binds society as a single commune entity. This finding shows the media frames the city and society as one “group.” In conclusion, the framing carried out by the Japanese media was nuanced with the concept of shuudanshugi or “group-oriented.”

2024-02-01T07:52:25+07:00

This research aims to reveal Natsume Soseki's attitudes and views in the form of social criticism regarding the phenomenon of social deviation in Japanese society due to the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912) in his novel, Bocchan. Social problems often arise in modern societies, including what happened in Japan during modernization from 1868-1912, called the Meiji Restoration. These social problems include social and cultural dislocation due to the penetration of dominant Western culture and the marginal position of traditional elements, especially in the second decade of the early Meiji era, when Japan aggressively adopted Western culture on a large scale. This social phenomenon can be seen from the decline in Japanese society's appreciation for traditional social and cultural values while simultaneously placing Western culture in a superior position. The theory used in this research is Alan Swingewood's Literary Sociology theory. Through this theory, we will analyze the influence of Natsume Soseki's social background as the author of the novel Bocchan, as well as his ideological tendencies in responding to the symptoms of social deviation in Japanese society (1868-1912), which became the background for the creation of the novel Bocchan. After that, it will be analyzed to what extent the novel Bocchan can reflect social phenomena. The analysis was done by connecting the social aspects of the novel with the historical, social reality that was the background for its creation, namely Japanese society during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). Next, the author will see what social criticism is depicted in the novel. The results of the research show that the novel Bocchan describes Natsume Soseki's social criticism of the phenomenon of socio-cultural dislocation in Japanese society due to Westernization during the Meiji era, as well as the problems of a group of people who persist with old habits in the condition of the Japanese nation which is changing towards a developed and modern country.

Pelanggaran Prinsip Kerja Sama dalam Drama “Sweet Home” (스위트홈)

2024-02-01T07:53:05+07:00

This article examines the forms of violation of Grice's maxim of cooperation principles carried out by the characters in the drama Sweet Home (SH) and their relationship with achieving communication goals. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method referring to Grice's theory of Cooperation Principles (CP) (1975). Research data was obtained using the method of listening without being involved and taking notes. Based on the research results, four forms of single PKS violations were found in SH: the maxims of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. Apart from these violations, double maxim violations were also found, namely violations of the maxim of relevance and the maxim of manner. The causes of CP violations occur due to the following factors: (1) in the maxim of quantity, the speaker provides excessive information; (2) in the maxim of quality, the speaker conveys incorrect information and uses similes and figures of speech; (3) in the maxim of relevance, the speaker gives information that is implicit and unrelated to the topic of conversation; (4) in the maxim of manner, the speaker sends an ambiguous message, not straightforward and long-winded. This research shows that most conversations that violate the maxim of relevance, the maxim of quality, and the maxim of manner fail to achieve communication goals because the recipient of the message does not understand the message. on the contrary, failure of communication objectives does not occur in a maxim of quantity but only causes ineffectiveness in delivering the message.
