The Interaction of Substate Actors with the Global Public:

2024-11-05T13:33:40+00:00

This article aims to explain the external persuasive actions of the Aceh Provincial Government in maintaining its Islamic identity through “The Light of Aceh” branding towards the global community. This action is referred to as paradiplomacy. As one of the subnational actors in Indonesia, Aceh Province is an area that has social and political dynamics from before independence to the present. Aceh has a distinctive identity and culture known as Serambi Mekah. Because of its efforts to maintain this identity, Aceh once fought for independence from Indonesia. Aceh's paradiplomacy certainly has different dynamics. However, the effort to maintain its identity has been a struggle from the past to the present. In the independence era, Aceh tried to fight for its identity with the struggle for independence, but in the post-independence era, Aceh fought for its regional interests through the framework of Regional Autonomy by establishing foreign relations and diplomacy to the global community. This research uses the theories of paradiplomacy and social identity to explain the persuasive actions taken by the Aceh Provincial Government through paradiplomacy to maintain its social identity. This research uses a qualitative method with data collection from interviews with relevant informants, documentation studies and internet-based studies. The results of this research show that the Aceh Provincial Government's paradiplomacy efforts to maintain its Islamic identity are carried out through branding “The Light of Aceh” by incorporating Islamic values in various components of the branding such as the main values of branding, logo philosophy, and branding commercial advertising videos. These values are socialised to the global community through various international activities by showcasing culture in dances, poems of clothing at international festivals, so that Aceh is better known by the global community with its Islamic identity.

Assessment Of Spatiotemporal Variation In Inter-State Passenger Flow From Katsina, Katsina State, Nigeria

2024-11-25T01:45:49+00:00

This paper examines the nature, pattern, and spatiotemporal variation of inter-state passenger movement from Katsina to other states across the country. Two major terminals were purposefully selected for the study, which are the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and Katsina State Transport Authority (KTSTA). Questionnaires were systemically administered to departing passengers. Information on passenger flow was collected from the passenger register at the motor parks. A flow line map was used to show the direction of the flow, while a bar graph was used to show the volume or magnitude and temporal variation of passenger movement from Katsina to other states across the country. The findings reveal that the majority of the passengers were males who were married, and most of them were traders and civil servants; thus, work- or business-related trips account for most of the reasons for travelling. The findings reveal that the NURTW terminal has a wider spatial coverage of 11 states, while the KTSTA terminal has a spatial coverage of 9 states. Kano State is the most popular destination, followed by Kaduna and Abuja. Generally, the findings show a seasonal pattern of passenger flow with higher numbers in the later months of the year (October to December) and lower numbers in the middle of the year (June and July). Recommendations include the enhancement of transport infrastructures to cater to work- or business-related trips, seasonal adjustment, passenger demographic consideration, and promotion of off-peak travel. This is to ensure a more efficient and responsive transport system that meets the needs of travellers and maximises customer satisfaction.

2024-11-25T02:02:26+00:00

This research focuses on the form of ecranisation the storyline adaptation from the novel to the film Maze Runner: The Death Cure. The purpose of this research is to describe the forms of ecranisation (addition, alteration, and compression) through a comparison of the narrative facts from the novel to the film. This study employs a literature study approach with a qualitative descriptive method. The data consists of words, phrases, and sentences found in the novel and the film script. The data collection techniques in this study include reading, noting, observing, transcribing the film into a script, translating the film script, and classifying the data. The analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. This research will utilize comparative literature theory, narrative facts (plot, characters, and setting), and ecranisation (addition, alteration, and compression). The results of this research show that the comparison between the novel Maze Runner: The Death Cure and the film has narrative similarities and employs a mixed plot structure. The differences observed are evident in the introduction of new plots and settings in the film. This occurs due to the condensation of the story in the film; not all information from the novel can be fully incorporated into the film. The form of ecranisation (changes) that occurs in adapting the novel Maze Runner: The Death Cure into the film tends to include more additions, such as the introduction of new settings and plots. This happens because the past setting is not prominently featured, and there are elements of adult themes within it, indicating that every process of ecranisation inevitably experiences changes.

Heaven is a Japanese novel authored by Mieko Kawakami in 2009, translated by Bett and Boyd in 2020. Kawakami identifies bullying in schools, particularly through the character Iijima, as the central theme of this story. Moreover, the phenomenon of bullying stems from the fundamental issue of social class inequality. This research aims to: 1) identify social class through the frameworks of Marx and Levy, Jr.; 2) elucidate Kawakami's perspective and the concept of transindividuality; and 3) assess the significance of social class inequality in translation practices. This research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach, which focuses on social analysis. However, it persuades social classes to comprehend analysis and utilize sociology literature and literary translation from the perspective of an English learner. This research identifies the highest class as Ninomiya, who is a facilitator of bullying, while the lowest class is represented by Eyes and Kojima, who suffer from bullying. Kawakami created those characters as a manifestation of her social and humanity philosophy, taking into account her own past experiences. Therefore, Bett and Boyd, as the translators of Heaven, uphold the values of social class inequality

The Redefining “Luck’’ As Ego - Defense Mechanism Of Main Character In Luck (2022) Movie

2025-02-15T00:35:45+00:00

Freud's psychoanalysis provides useful insights into how characters deal with internal conflict and emotional distress together. This study explores the animated film Luck (2022) through the perspective of Freud's psychoanalytic theory, with a particular emphasis on the psychological ego defense mechanisms. Freud's structural model of the human mind, which includes the id, ego, and superego, offers a framework for comprehending the character's ongoing misfortune. Sam, the protagonist, struggles with her insecurities and emotional problems, and her misfortune represents internal psychological conflicts. Sam's defense mechanisms, which include projection, displacement, and rationalization, protect her from emotional pain while fueling her desire for luck. The id fuels her desire to protect her friend Hazel from loneliness, whereas the ego helps her cope with failures through displacement and rationalization. The superego eventually leads her to self-acceptance and emotional maturity. The analysis redefines luck in the film as a metaphor for Sam's psychological journey, showing how she progresses from unconscious instinct to moral clarity, ultimately portraying luck as an expression of personal resilience and self-discovery.
