This study analyzes James Michener’s Hawai’i to underline how the environment was changed, altered and transformed over time based on differing paradigms of conceptualizing nature and environment. It primarily focuses on how the Native Hawai’ians, American settlers and Chinese immigrants have contrasting ways of perceiving the more-than-human world. The stages of environmental history, as underlined by Worster and Cronon argue how the differing paradigm is intertwined within the cultural contexts and socio-historical circumstances of a particular ethnicity in Hawai’i. Their paradigm manifested through social reproduction resulting from the mode of production, either instrumentalising or respecting the land. Moreover, race, social status and gender also problematize how the environment is conceptualized. From the perspective of environmental history, the environment is positioned as dynamic and changing, contrary to a prior depiction of nature as passive and static. The finding suggests that environmental perspectives in the novel Hawai’i can provide an avenue to reinterpreting human and non-human relationships by considering humanity as part of the natural world.

This research derived from the phenomenon that men of Toba Batak must be respected more and are treated differently from women. To define the truth of the phenomenon this study analysed the ideology of Toba Batak; dalihan na tolu which is composed by (1) somba marhula-hula, (2) elek marboru, and (3) manat mardongan tubu by analysing the syntactic and semantic structure of it and adapted the ecolinguistic approach to defined man and woman identity by Arran Stibbe. The syntactic and semantic analysis on dalihan na tolu defined the identity of men and women as follows: (a) men as brothers in Toba-Batak community are leader, decision makers, they are positioned the highest in the ideology and have more arguments in doing their responsibility to love sisters. (b) Women as sisters in Toba-Batak community are the second position in the ideology and for both syntactic and semantically are proved have to be strictly respect brothers, they have less argument to do it. However, men and women of Toba-Batak, due to their contribution to ‘manat mardongan tubu’ are positioned the same.
这项研究源于多巴巴塔克的男性必须受到更多的尊重，并受到与女性不同的待遇。为了界定这一现象的真相，本研究分析了巴塔克的思想;短句来源通过对由somba marhula-hula、elek marboru和manat mardongan tubu组成的dalihan na tolu的句法和语义结构的分析，并采用Arran Stibbe的生态语言学方法来定义男女身份。通过对《大礼汉娜托鲁》的句法语义分析，对男女身份的界定如下:(a)在托巴-巴塔克族中，作为兄弟的男性是领导者、决策者，他们在意识形态上的地位最高，在履行爱姐妹的责任上有更多的争论。(b)妇女作为Toba-Batak社区的姐妹在意识形态上处于第二地位，由于在句法和语义上都被证明必须严格尊重兄弟，她们没有理由这样做。然而，Toba-Batak的男人和女人，由于他们对“manat mardongan tubu”的贡献，被定位相同。

The issue of national disintegration is one of the most crucial in the defense of Indonesia. One of the causes of national disintegration is the existence of Radicalism, Extremism, and Terrorism (RET). Radical entities can change using extreme means including violence through acts of terror in achieving their goals. Efforts continue to be made by the Government in anticipating the spread of this RET. Using agent-based simulation modeling techniques, some characteristics in the RET such as numbers are affected, driving factors, the number of agents in a region, and effective strategies. Therefore, this study is aimed at evaluating the spread of RET in Indonesia using agent-based simulations. This research is qualitative descriptive by trying to collect qualitative data as an initial input for the creation of flowchart designs and agent-based simulation models that will eventually be verified and validated. The results of this study illustrate the agent-based simulation in the spread of RET using Netlogo software by paying attention to several parameters such as incubation period, possible exposure to radicalism, extremist severity, availability of rehabilitation centers, and the rate of terrorism infection. From the results of the simulation, it can be said that the parameter greatly affects the percentage of radical agents, agents who are extremists until they become terrorists. This factor can be evidence for policymakers to reduce the spread of RET effectively by increasing religious understanding, strengthening the sense of nationalism and defending the country, and implementing community empowerment strategies. The evaluation of the spread of this RET can eventually strengthen Indonesia's non-military defense. Thus, good defense will have implications for the continuous development and achievement of Indonesia's goals.

This research focuses on Orhan Pamuk’s A Strangeness in My Mind. Since the Ottoman Empire, a modernity that is represented by the West has become a threat and seduction. Due to the issue, this research is conducted to highlight the transformation of İstanbul, analyse Turkey’s political agenda which enormously affects İstanbul and its citizens’ identity formation process, and investigate the result of the East-West predicament towards the main characters. This research is a descriptive qualitative method which employs Homi Bhabha’s discourse on Postcolonialism to uncover the predicament of the oscillation. The findings unveil 1) how İstanbul’s cosmopolitanism and uniqueness have disappeared bringing such a grieve towards the life of the citizens; 2) the ambivalence that is caused by both Atatürk and Erdoğan’s political agendas; and 3) the east-west oscillation which has led to melancholy and confusion. In addition, Mevlut’s strange mind is a bridge that tries to connect his friends and relatives who have different political views. Importantly, he also tries to blur the boundaries and promote tolerance towards various groups, religions, cultures, and traditions.

This paper unveils the postmodernist patina of Philip Roth’s novel Sabbath’s Theater through the affairs of its main character Morris “Mickey” Sabbath—a 64-year-old puppeteer who finds absolute delight in pursuing the base pleasures of life and one who also indulges himself in the American world bringing him to a state of alienation and destruction. We attempt to present Sabbath as the “aesthete” who greatly wallows in the fleshly pleasures of life. His sexual trysts generate the grounds for discoursing on the matter of sex as a potent postmodern site of disorder, self-cognizance, and reflexivity that leads towards annihilation of the self. In our analysis, we present him akin to an animal wallowing in base pleasures. Bounded by the “finite” from the perspective of the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, his sexual trysts, ethnic displacements, and the juggling between home (Jewish origins) and host (American landscape) are factors that make it not possible for Sabbath to acquire a true self. Capitalizing on the descriptive-analytical research design, the paper leans on the critical concepts expounded by the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard particularly his three stages of life and the discourse on finitude in further making sense of Mickey Sabbath’s untamed pursuit of worldly desires. We present Sabbath greatly wallowing in the aesthetic stage of life. The ethical and religious stages are depicted only as specters that persistently confront the novel’s hero. The findings highlight Sabbath as the aesthete and pleasure-seeker who wallows in sexual pleasures as well as the person who immerses himself in art and other intellectual pursuits. All the worldly feats that affect the disposition of Sabbath compel him to spurn the ethical stage. This leads to the assertion that there is no commitment to virtue and integrity on the part of the Sabbath that can lead to the religious stage of life.

This paper employs Foucault’s theory on Discourse, Power, and Knowledge to highlight the powers shaping the Egyptian woman in God Dies by the Nile. The paper also uses the feminist theory in identifying the ways that the Egyptian woman uses to resist the discourse of power in the narrative. The paper, therefore, focuses on the power dynamics in the novel. Thus questions addressed in this paper include: how the discourses of family, society, and religion are generated in the novel; how patriarchy shapes the discourse of power in the narrative, and the subtle means used by women to resist and play out power in the novel. Using a thematic approach, textual analysis, and the novel as a primary source, the paper discusses patriarchal discourse and power politics. Examining a selection of discourses and how they affect the body of the female help in appreciating the effect of patriarchy on women in the novel. The study concludes that discourse alone does not explain the power dynamics in the novel. Silence, rebellion, female bonding, and the creation of paranoia in the men through silent but open resistance to patriarchy are some of the power dynamics played out in the novel by the female gender.

Whosoever says money cannot buy you happiness does not know where to shop. Your stand concerning this statement will depend on your level of income and the importance of money for your well-being. Since some might argue that having money is not everything, it then raises the question of what does it take to be happy? What is the government's role in this endeavor? And how can happiness be sustained? This study presents some principles about money and happiness. It suggests that while being rich might not necessarily be the main or only path to happiness, having a higher income will guarantee access to homes in safer neighborhoods, better healthcare, and nutrition, provide access to higher education for your family, give you a sense of fulfillment, work satisfaction, and more leisure time. Note that how you spend, save, and think about money shapes how much joy you get from it. Above all, happiness is a subjective experience. It is about the satisfaction you derive from the way your life is going. Happiness is about personal freedom to make important life choices, such as shaping your life the way you want it.

This paper aims at analyzing the types of code-switching in the conversation of multilingual roving people, who move from one country to another country. The participants of this qualitative research were five multilingual roving people. Audio recordings and interviews were used to collect the data. The results reveal that the types of code-switching employed by the multilingual roving people were intra-sentential switching, inter-sentential switching, situational switching, and metaphorical switching. The researchers also found that the factors influencing the multilingual roving people in switching the codes included the speaker, interlocutors, changes in the situation because of the third person, and changes in the topic. The researchers concluded that the type of code-switching that appeared the most was intra-sentential switching and the most influencing factor why the participants did code-switching was the interlocutors.

This paper contextualizes how a short story “This is Paradise” by Kristiana Kahakauwila deconstructs the idealized trope of Hawai’i as paradise by presenting a localized narration from the perspective of the indigene working within the tourist industry. The use of first-person plural narration as the focalizer echoes the collective voice of the Hawai’ian indigene in their marginalized status within the tourist industry. An econarratological perspective as stated by Erin James provides reader with textual cues necessary to construct a mental model of Hawai’i from the insiders’ perspective. Kahakauwila’s use of insiders’ perspective enables reader to have an understanding of indigenous marginalization in Hawai’i, informed by a local experience of place. This perspective challenges the common depiction of Hawai’i as seen from the outsider/tourist point of view. The present study concludes how “This is Paradise” underlines a localized portrayal of the Hawai’i as the counter narrative toward the established trope of Hawai’i as paradise through its use of first-person plural and spatialization of Waikiki.
本文以克里斯蒂安娜·卡哈考维拉(Kristiana Kahakauwila)的短篇小说《这就是天堂》(This is Paradise)为背景，从旅游业中工作的当地人的角度，通过本土化的叙述，解构了夏威夷作为天堂的理想化比喻。使用第一人称复数叙述作为聚焦器，呼应了夏威夷土著人在旅游业中处于边缘化地位的集体声音。艾琳·詹姆斯(Erin James)提出的纪实性观点为读者提供了必要的文本线索，以从局内人的角度构建夏威夷的心理模型。Kahakauwila运用局内人的视角，使读者能够从当地的地方经验中了解夏威夷土著的边缘化。这一观点挑战了从外人/游客的角度对夏威夷的常见描述。本研究的结论是，《这是天堂》通过第一人称复数的使用和威基基的空间化，强调了夏威夷作为天堂的既定比喻的反叙事的本地化描绘。

People always communicate to make relationships with others. Some way they do this is to make the other understand what the speaker means. Therefore, the speaker uses code-mixing and code-switching to make the listener understand. The purpose of code-mixing and code-switching is to make the utterance more communicative, and more friendly to show the master can speak more than two languages. In this research, the subject is students from the English Department at Tidar University in Indonesia and the International Business China Program Faculty of International Studies at Prince of Songkla University in Thailand. This research used a descriptive qualitative method in which the researchers describe the form, the types, and the reason for code-mixing and code-switching in an educational conversation by students from the English Department Tidar University in Indonesia and International Business China Program Faculty of International Studies Prince of Songkla University in Thailand. All of the students in daily life use code-mixing and code-switching to communicate with others or their lecturers because they are from the English Department and International Program where all of the lectures are taught in English. The types of code mixing such as insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization based on Singh and Sachan (2017), while types of code-switching are intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag switching based on Ansar (2017). The researchers also found some factors related to Hudson (1980) such as social factors, cultural factors, and individual factors.
