Hunger, a novella by a contemporary American novelist, Elise Blackwell, centres in the story of a Russian botanist, Nikolai Vavilov, during the Leningrad siege in 1941. Vavilov protects his collection of seeds at the Research Institute of Plant Industry in Leningrad against all odds, to be preserved for research for future use. In the recounting moments during the siege, the narrative provides parallelism between Leningrad and the ancient city of Babylon. In postcolonial writing, this can be perceived as a form of nostalgic projection of the past (Walder, 2011). Such a parallelism triggers a postcolonial narrative analysis on the pairing of the two as affinity, focusing on the significance of the comparison between the two cities (between the apocalyptic present and the glorious past). The contribution of this parallelism will be discussed to understand the novella as a narrative mode of ecocriticism, with regards to the idea of prioritizing seeds over human lives, which also acts as the steering issue stirring the plot. By mainly referring to Garrard (2004) and Huggan and Tiffin (2010) on ecocriticism and postcolonial ecocriticism, this essay in general aims to investigate how the novella contributes new perspectives on the intertwining between postcolonial studies and ecocriticism.
《饥饿》是当代美国小说家伊莉斯·布莱克威尔的中篇小说，以1941年列宁格勒围城期间俄罗斯植物学家尼古拉·瓦维洛夫的故事为中心。瓦维洛夫不顾一切地把他在列宁格勒植物工业研究所收集的种子保存起来，以供将来研究使用。在围攻期间的叙述时刻，叙述提供了列宁格勒和巴比伦古城之间的平行关系。在后殖民写作中，这可以被视为一种对过去的怀旧投射(Walder, 2011)。这种平行关系引发了对两者作为亲和力的配对的后殖民叙事分析，重点关注两个城市之间比较的意义(在启示录的现在和辉煌的过去之间)。我们将讨论这种平行的贡献，以理解中篇小说作为一种生态批评的叙事模式，关于优先考虑种子而不是人类生命的想法，这也是推动情节发展的指导问题。本文主要参考Garrard(2004)和Huggan and Tiffin(2010)关于生态批评和后殖民生态批评的研究，旨在探讨中篇小说如何为后殖民研究和生态批评之间的相互交织提供新的视角。

According to power of their truth, poets have a responsibility in expressing the truth through their works. Therefore, the personal relationship between poets and their works is an absolute thing that can be examined from both personal and cultural point of view. This paper analyzes it through the poetry collection of Ballada Arakian (Arakian Ballad) (2014) written by Yoseph Yapi Taum (Yapi) with the main issue of how are the actual forms of personal relationship between Yapi and Arakian Ballad? This paper was written by using expressive approach to answer the issue. The theory used was the theory of power and truth by emphasizing parrhesia (fearless speech) and parrhesiasist (the one who uses parrhesia) according to M. Foucault. The method used was literature review and written interview to the poet. The result shows that the power and the truth owned by Yapi in the parrhesia implementation in his poetry collection, Arakian Ballad, express general themes about humanisms, religious, and reflection based on parrhesia: the poets personal relationship and the truth, the risk he faced in conveying the truth, and the poets responsibility as the parrhesiasist.DOI:10.24071/ijhs.2019.030111

This research is conducted to investigate how Indonesian people give compliment to others in English to find the formula of the compliment the students use. The subject of the research is 27 Indonesian students of English Department from three universities. The data are collected by giving questionnaire to the students using the Discourse Completion Task. Students are asked to complete the sentences for giving compliment. The compliments requested are about appearance which consists of hairstyle, dress and figure; and ability and performance which consists of test result, getting the scholar and cooking ability. The result shows that for appearance, the most used formula is by using the word look then the use of be+adj. For ability and performance, students use the word congratulation and be+adj for cooking ability. However, some students give compliment based on Bahasa Indonesia form, not English form by giving some statements which are not related to the context. It is affirmed that compliment is influenced by the language that the people use and it is different from one culture to another.DOI:10.24071/ijhs.2019.030110

This study seeks to examine the extent to which micro small and medium scale enterprises (MSMEs) apply Environmental Ethics in their business praxis. The data sources were field observations and in-depth interviews with one catering business in Yogyakarta known for its use of local food products and zero preservatives. This qualitative narrative research aims to answer how and why this selected MSME has demonstrated environmental awareness. It further examines the implications of this praxis toward the businesss sustainability. The data analysis reveals that, first, the business owner, driven by internal motivation, uses environmentally friendly products to care for customers satisfaction and need of healthy food. Secondly, the business, however, has not adhered to such external motivation as cutting no trees for firewood. Regardless of its damage for the environment, the use of firewood reduces production cost and no prohibition for cutting trees is thus far enacted. This study concludes that more efforts should be made to cultivate ecological concerns as the core of sustainable entrepreneurial skills.DOI:10.24071/ijhs.2019.030106

The indirect expression of intention in the Javanese culture-based speech community requires the speaker and the hearer to understand the importance of contexts in communication. Failure to understand the context of interaction will definitely impede communication and interaction, or even worse it may cause misunderstanding in the communication and interaction process. In the Javanese speech community, people may say mboten or no without intending to negate or to express falsity. On the contrary, people may say inggih or yes which does not necessarily mean to affirm or to express an assertion. Therefore, it is clear that in the Javanese speech community, the extralinguistic contexts in the communication is very important and defines the purpose of utterances. Based on the research background, the research on extralinguistic contexts to determine the meaning of mboten was carried out. The objective of the research was to elaborate the extralinguistic contexts which determine the meaning of mboten. The data consists of excerpts containing Javanese phatic mboten. The technique of collecting data was recording and note-taking. Besides, interview or speaking method was employed to gather the data. The data analysis was done using the distributional and content analysis methods. This research results in five functions of extralinguistic contexts to determine the meaning of the utterance. The five functions are: (1) the extralinguistic contexts to affirm the intention of negation; (2) the extralinguistic context as the background of negation; (3) the extralinguistic contexts to confirm the meaning of negation; (4) the extralinguistic contexts to affirm the intention of negation; (5) the extralinguistic contexts to affirm the phatic function. The result of the research is very important and contributes significantly to the development of linguistics, especially the development of pragmatics embedded in culture-specific concepts.DOI: 10.24071/ijhs.2019.030103

David Mamet is one of the greatest modern American playwrights whose works have dominated the stages during the twentieth century. His work entitled Glengarry Glen Ross is a great echo of the world about the businessmen in the United States. This study is devoted to the analysis of David Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross based on Marxism point of view, in which it focuses on the power praxis portrayed within its story. By so, this study scrutinizes how American Dream creates unethical and immoral American corrupted society in Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross and how the notion of American Dream is being challenged. The findings of this study show that the salesmens choices, preferences, wants and desires are affected by ideological practices. These ideological practices represent the production of corrupted ideology for the notion of American Dream is being reduced and merely an utopian notion. Thus, eventually, David Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross displays a deeper conception that the salesmen or working class people in general, are the subjects of the capitalism.DOI:10.24071/ijhs.2019.030109

Nowadays, there has been a new trend in the video game industry to unleash the stereotypical female characters as a response to the increasing criticism toward gender equality in the video game industry. Life is Strange is one example of video games that challenges typical female characters who are usually described as powerless and objectified. However, such a progression has not amended the problematic female representation completely within its narrative. By using the concept of hegemonic masculinity, this paper discusses the ambivalences in Life is Strange in challenging stereotypical female representations. The result of the analysis shows that although Life is Strange successfully subverts the female physical representation through its design, the narrative still perpetuates hegemonic masculinity by means of sacrificial heroine and lesbianism eroticization.DOI:10.24071/ijhs.2019.030102

This study delves into the tale Aladdin and the Magic Lamp as the excerpt of the Middle Eastern folk tales collection One Thousand and One Nights rather than the popular Disney version. It problematizes the figure of Aladdin and rebrands him as an immoral ethicist as opposed to Disney hero who seeks strength within himself and the other text versions of him as a changed man. This problematizing essentially entails a critique of the Westernized moral figure and its basic universal lesson in the text to argue his being immoral. To do this, the methodology of the paper follows from a philosophical reading that subjectivizes the protagonist into the question of ethics. Specifically, it takes from ieks elaboration of the Nietzschean version of an immoral ethics that remains consistent with the fidelity to ones desire. The paper shows how the plot reveals Aladdins immoral ethics that is founded on strength and constant activity but presupposing the voluntary knowledge and cleverness of his existential choice. To back this, the study finds three distinct features, namely: 1) disregard to authority, 2) love beyond good and evil, and 3) negative will to power.DOI:10.24071/ijhs.2019.030108

The present study investigates the changes of the characteristics of Sebastian Rodrigues, a Catholic priest, before and after experiencing the social power in Japan. It also investigates the influences of the Japanese social power on the changes of Sebastian Rodrigues’ characteristics in the Silence movie. The setting of the movie is the seventeenth century in Japan, on which Christianity was banned. Sociocultural-historical approach was employed to analyze the movie. The results of the analysis shows that Sebastian Rodrigues’ characteristics before he experiences Japanese social power include being compassionate, faithful, optimistic, and unconfident. After he experiences the social power, his characteristics change into helpless, despair, oppressed and senseless. The Japanese social power influences Rodrigues’ characteristics in five ways, namely forcing him to find the unfairness and violence, catching him, mocking him, making him witness the murder, and forcing him to apostatize. Hence, the power changes Rodrigues’ characteristics.
