This edited volume aims to raise issues regarding the practice of representation in transnational popular culture, such as films, novels, comics, television series, or advertisements, from the perspective of Indonesian scholars. The 25 chapters that are divided into five sections, (1) Ethnic and Racial Identity, (2) (Dis)empowerement of the Feminine, (3) Redefining Masculinity, (4) Reflecting Social Issues and Power Relation, and (5) Political \"Othering,\" problematize issues of cultural identity and oppression in the context of recent political upheavals in many parts of the world concerning identity politics. The goal is to constantly evaluate what we understand out of the everydayness of cultural interactions as they are captured and portrayed in texts. The scholars in this edited volume invite readers to open new conversations on how power works and how dominant ideology needs to be negotiated or even challenged by popular culture. Some chapters also problematize how popular culture texts are still utilized as vehicles for dominant ideologies to work in an affirmative way. All in all, the readings and interpretations of the works of representation in the chapters have built a non-Western scholarship providing alternative platforms of knowledge production in the humanities and social science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; Indifferent Minds under the Same Roof: Malaysian College Students Inter-Ethnic Reception of the Films Potong Saga and Halal; Identity and Otherness in the French Animation Film Ernest ET Celestine: A Fable about Difference; Racial Analysis in Okja (2017): Exposing Stereotypes and Unequal Power Distribution; Antisemitism Theme of the French Vichy Government in La Rafle by Roselyne Bosch; Gender Stereotypes in Anton Chekovs Short Stories; Sexual Violence against Career Women in the Korean Drama Series Ibeon Saengeun Cheoeumira; Nina Sayers and the Issue of Sexual Repression: Black Swan Movie Analysis; Beyond the MaleFemale Binary, Issues of Identity in Pepi Al-Bayqunies Novel Calabai; New-Man Masculinity in the Character of Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother; Masculine Constructions: A Comparison of Roald Dahls Novel and the Film Adaptation of Fantastic MR Fox; The Househusband Phenomenon: An Ontological Critique of the Dogmatization of Gender Roles; Masculine and Feminine Symbols in Lelaki Harimau (2004); The One with Chandlers Humor and Masculinity; Neurotic Personality in the Novella сонечка\/Sonechka by Lyudmila Ulitskaya; Violence and Abnormal Sexual Behavior in Abdullah Harahaps Titisan Iblis; Narrating Trauma: G30s as Depicted in Lasmi; Reciprocal Love and the Subject-Object Relation in Ivan Turgenevs Fathers and Sons; Lionel Logue: The Reflection of Desire in the Kings Speech; Choi In-Huns Guunmong as a Criticism of South Korean Democracy; Carnivalesque Islamic Symbols in Egyptian Literature; Subversive Reading in SA-Orang Jang Bangsawans Boek Saier Oetawa Terseboet Pantoen; The Construction of Ostalgie Identity in the Movie Sonnenallee (1999); The Plural Identities of Muslim Migrants in Germany in Shahada (2010); The Dissemination of Nazi Propaganda through Educational Institutions and Families in the Film The Book Thief; Collective Memory at the Jewish Museum and the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin: Kollektivschuld; Index.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886172975447,"sku":"9781536179576","price":163.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536179576.jpg?v=1722539082","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/problematising-representation-in-popular-culture-9781536179576","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
