Dibuat di Klaten Pada tanggal 8 Februari 2021 Yang menyatakan, Graciella Stephanie Ganadhi vi PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, an immense gratitude to God for giving me the health, resources, and motivation to push through this proses of finishing my thesis. Without his infinite blessings, this thesis would not even materialize. Second, I would like to deliver my deepest gratitude and respect to my thesis advisor, Elisabeth Oseanita Pukan S.S., M.A., for all of her time and efforts in helping me write this thesis. She truly helped me in everything from the writing process to the research and argument development process. I truly do not know if this thesis would be as concise as it is now if not for her advices and suggestions. Also, if it were not for her asking about my writing progress and making me feel slightly guilty for not progressing at all, the board of examiners would not see this thesis as fast as it was. Once again, thank you so much, miss! I would also like to thank Dra. Theresia Enny Anggraini Ph.D., my co- advisor in writing this thesis. She was so detailed that without her, I am sure quite a lot of holes are going to be found in this thesis, so thank you so much for pointing out the lacking parts of this thesis and adding your incredibly helpful suggestions. Continuing on, I have to thank my family, especially my mom for the unlimited free flow of delicious food and snacks while I am slaving away in writing this thesis. This thesis would not be finished if it were not for her food giving me motivation to keep going. Lastly, I would like to deliver my thanks to my friends. Thank you for the occasional “semangat” messages because it keeps me going. Honestly, seeing every one of us struggle to finish our thesis is somehow inspiring for me. We are in this together!

(2021). Women Gender Discriminations in South Korea Leading to Kim Ji-Young’s Hwabyung Seen in Cho Nam-Joo’s Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Women had been suffering from gender-based discriminations for a long time. In a patriarchal society, the discriminations are more severe due to the homogenous belief in its values. These discriminations toward women often causes mental issues in some individual. As a reflection of the society, literature presents itself as a suitable to speak out about social issues, gender-based discriminations being one of it. This research analyses Kim Ji-Young in Cho Nam-Joo’s Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 which had been translated from Korean into English by Jamie Chang. In the novel, Kim Ji-Young suffers

  • Domestic Hallyu: K-Pop Metatexts and the Media's Self-Reflexive Gesture
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2308–2331 1932–8036/20170005 Domestic Hallyu: K-Pop Metatexts and the Media’s Self-Reflexive Gesture MICHELLE CHO1 McGill University, Canada Television serves as a crucial medium for shaping the South Korean public’s response to the success of hallyu, or the Korean Wave, in news reports, variety shows, and celebrity interview programs. Further, in the last decade, several K-pop idols have been cast in serial narrative television shows that fictionalize hallyu creative industries. These metatextual shows domesticate transnational idol pop celebrities by contributing layers of televisual intimacy to their star personae and by seeming to expose the inner workings of the entertainment industries. This essay focuses on two notable examples, Dream High (2011, KBS2) and Answer Me 1997 (2012, tvN), to consider what this proliferation of popular narratives about media production and reception on South Korean television signifies. I argue that the intertextual presentation of K-pop on Korean television negotiates a complex relationship between popular culture and public culture in South Korea. The metatextual relay revealed in these shows—what I characterize as the media’s self-reflexive critical gesture—provides access to the ideological impasses of the attempt to produce intimate national publics through globalized contents. Keywords: metatextuality, television, K-drama, K-pop, hallyu, Korean Wave If the ideological function of mass culture is understood as a process whereby otherwise dangerous and protopolitical impulses are “managed” and defused, rechanneled and offered spurious objects, then some preliminary step must also be theorized in which these same impulses—the raw material upon which the process works—are initially awakened within the very text that seeks to still them.

The southern ROK forces were not as well for war and quickly. The North Koreans would have probably secured the peninsula if UN forces had not intervened. The US interest in Korea was mostly to keep Japan secure and limit the USSR’s. Initially, UN forces were driven back until they occupied only a small of the peninsula in South Korea. Eventually, the UN forces were able to the tide and almost took control of the entire peninsula until China decided to 1 The Korean Armistice Agreement was between the United Nations Command, the Korean People’s Army for North Korea and the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army. The Armistice Agreement supposed to be drafted soon after the Armistice Agreement was signed. However, a peace treaty still has not been reached and North and South Korea are still technically at war. Also, South Korea’s president Rhee never signed the Armistice Agreement because he not accept Korea as being divided. Rhee wanted to completely unify the peninsula but would be unable to do so without the support of the UN forces. Kim Il-Sung also did not want to sign an armistice, to cease.

  • Taxicab Discrimination at LAX Follow-Up Report on Council File 15-1284
    Taxicab Discrimination at LAX Follow-up Report on Council File 15-1284 In September 2015, an arriving passenger at LAX was faced racial discrimination when attempting to secure a taxicab ride. When that incident came to light the following month, LAWA immediately began to investigate and develop a response that would prevent this type of incident from happening again. Authorized Taxicab Supervision (ATS) provides taxicab management services at LAX, which includes managing the holding lot and taxicab stands in the Central Terminal Area, and performing dispatch operations. ATS also adjudicates all taxicab driver violations using a third party and uses a progressive "three strikes” approach when imposing penalties. In effect, ATS supervises the taxicab pickup operations and taxicab drivers at the airport. In January 2016, LAWA amended the ATS operating agreement in an effort to eliminate the likelihood of future discrimination and to improve the disciplinary and complaint handling processes in general. This amendment focuses ATS on ensuring a discrimination-free environment for taxicab passengers at LAX. The detailed timeline for the event and LAWA response is shown below: Taxicab Chronology September 22, 2015 Glanville discrimination incident occurred October 19, 2015 LAWA learned of incident via letter from Mr. Glanville October 27, 2015 LAWA required that Authorized Taxicab Supervision (ATS) develop correction plan including discrimination and sensitivity training for 4000 drivers, and address other operational issues including long customer lines, lack of taxicabs, taxicabs double parked, etc. November 2, 2015 ATS held a disciplinary hearing concerning the complaint. At that hearing, the driver’s permit is revoked for one year.

  • 2015 DV Homicide List
    Nevada Network Against Domestic Violence 2015 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDES in NEVADA In 2015, domestic violence-related incidents claimed 43 lives in Nevada, as documented in publically accessible police reports and published news stories. Each incident received varying degrees of attention from reporters, ranging from multi-story investigative reporting to simple one-paragraph crime reports. As such, the descriptions below should not be considered an attempt to capture the full complexity of the events. Rather, this list is a commemoration of lives lost to domestic violence. In order to be included in this list, each homicide was identified as an intimate partner violence-related incident; the deaths resulted from violence between adults who were either current or past intimate partners. In 2015, 28 such incidents were reported by publically accessible law enforcement reports and print media, including 16 women and 9 men killed by partners or ex-partners; 4 friends, family members, or new partners killed during the commission of a domestic violence homicide; 2 perpetrators killed by law enforcement officers; 11 perpetrators’ suicide deaths following domestic violence homicide or attempted homicide; and 1 law enforcement officer killed by a domestic violence perpetrator. NNADV changed its methodology in researching domestic violence homicides which may account for the increase in homicides from the previous years. In the death of .

Surprisingly, the Soviets agreed to the terms. There had even been discussions about giving control of Korea back to the Korean people once the Japanese were gone.

The way in which individuals are exposed to different genres and types of music helps illustrate the extent to which globalization has had an impact on the world. Before the invention of the internet, music was only available for purchase to consumers who went to record stores and physically purchased goods. Now, countless unique songs and genres are readily available with just a single search. Due to how easily consumers can access new music, digital distribution has completely overtaken the profit from selling physical copies of albums. In 2006, record labels still made $9.4 billion from CD sales in the United States, despite the fact that digital distribution entities, such as Napster and iTunes, provided digital copies of the same songs.
