The study analyzed 50 articles that consist of sexism from June 2015 to May 2016. The study analyzed texts and images using Feminist Stylistics by Sara Mills and Denotation and Connotation Semiotics by Roland Barthes with the writer as the instrument. From the study, it can be concluded that Tempo expressed sexist language that discriminates female characters in terms of occupation professionalism and described female character based on physical appearance, relationship to male and role as a mother while male characters were described by the opposite, based on their profession. Based on semiotic analysis from the image articles, it is found that Tempo used physical appearance and sexual attractiveness to describe the female characters while used power and professionalism to described the male characters.

When she discovers the company is owed a book by Harris Shaw, a reclusive, cantankerous, booze-addled author who originally put the company on the map, she looks to him for one last stab at salvation, both commercial and critical. Her timing couldn’t be more perfect. Harris owes money and he happens to have a new book - which he hates. Lucy’s ecstatic until she finds out Harris’s old contract stipulates that no one edit his work. However, in exchange, he must tour the book. And so is born the book tour from hell - where fame doesn’t equal fortune, twitter followers don’t add up to shit, and the legacy you’re trying to uphold might be born out of lies the past can’t contain. 4 A Q&A with Director Lina Roessler Tell us about the movie. How would you describe the film in just a couple of sentences? Best Sellers is an odd couple road movie.

  • Youth Champion
    Dialogue and Mutual Understanding PRESS RELEASE UN to appoint actress Monique Coleman as Youth Champion New York, 16 November: The UN will appoint Disney actress and youth activist Monique Coleman as a “Youth Champion” for the International Year of Youth at a press conference today. Ms. Coleman is best known for her character Taylor McKessie in the “High School Musical” movies and her recurring role as Mary-Margaret on “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody”. Most recently, she launched an online talk show, “Gimme MO'”, to empower youth. The American actress, a long-time advocate for improving the social and economic well-being of young peo- ple, says "I am extremely passionate about youth and look forward to highlighting the amazing ways they are already making a difference.” Assistant Secretary-General Jomo Kwame Sundaram in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs will present Ms. Coleman with a letter of recognition as a UN Youth Champion to promote the International Year. The International Year of Youth was launched on 12 August 2010 and runs through 11 August 2011. Youth, defined by the United Nations as people between the ages of 15 to 24, represent 18 per cent of the world’s population, or 1.2 billion people. The Year provides an opportunity to recognize that young people in all countries are a major human resource for development, positive social change and technical innovation. It aims to advance their full participation on youth-related issues in global, regional and national development agendas. To provide a vehicle to reach the young men and women who spend a great deal of time in cyberspace, Ms Coleman hosts each online “webisode”, which facilitates safe conversation on important issues confronting young people and provides much needed positive information and content.

En noviembre del año pasado, su intro- ducción al pueblo estadounidense durante la convención del partido en 2004 era ya un antiguo recuerdo, las encuestas electorales le dejaban atrás y su campaña electoral de nueve meses no había lucido con mucho bri- llo en varios momentos. “Nunca pensé que estaría aquí. Siempre pensé que este camino sería improbable. Nunca he estado en un camino que no lo fuera”, declaró en Iowa el año pasado. Desde entonces, el senador de Illinois ha roto con todos los récords de recaudación durante una campaña electoral, amasan- do más de $640 millones, acallado a todos aquellos que decían que no tenía experien- cia sufi ciente, le ganó a la invencible Hillary Clinton en las primarias demócratas, y ahora ha hecho historia al convertirse en el primer candidato presidencial afro-estadounidense del país. En otras palabras, Obama ha logrado mi- lagro tras milagro… hazañas dignas de un santo. Ahora es que esto se pone bueno, y ver- emos de qué está hecho este “santo”.

  • Iwan Fals, Music, and the Voice of Resistance
    REFLECTION ISSN: 2715-0917 I-Pop: International Journal of Iwan Fals, Music, and the Voice of Indonesian Popular Culture and Communication Resistance Muhammad Yusran Darmawan1* Vol. 1(1) pp. 41-62, (2020) DOI: 10.36782/i-pop.v1i1.28 . ABSTRACT This article is based on an assumption that there is a connection between popular music and the political situation in Indonesia. A singer has a function as a political actor, especially in the way these performers use music as a social weapon or tool –and even sometimes as a call to change, challenge or overthrow the existing government or socioeconomic conditions that they consider to be unjust systems. The purpose of this paper is to give an explanation about the life of Iwan Fals as a contemporary hero who inspires many people to be critical of authority. He has always been the voice of Indonesia's grassroots movement since the New Order era, but until now, he has preferred not to be its formal leader. He just keeps doing what he does best - singing and cheering - and maintaining the qualities of his song and conviction that keeps his fans loyal to him. Under the New Order, control of the arts and media by the government was mixed and inconsistent, but generally, Indonesia enjoyed a thriving and vibrant artistic scene, including music. Between the mid-1960s and 1990s, Indonesia developed a wide variety of popular music styles, some of which proved to be conducive and supportive to socio- political comments and critiques. Popular music became a major component of the background for daily life.

The third chapter of the CROSSCUT ASIA series, launched by the Japan Foundation Asia Center and TIFF in 2014 to showcase Asian films, now turns its attention to recent cinema from Indonesia. Known as a nation of “tolerant Islam,” Indonesia is made up of more than 10,000 islands and has regional cultural differences that make it the ultimate land of diversity. TIFF has been presenting outstanding Indonesian films, reflecting the nation’s diverse culture, since the 80’s. In this year’s focus, we will showcase 11 films, from the latest works by veterans to the unique, ambitious work of up-and-coming directors. In the showcase, we will highlight three films by Teddy Soeriaatmadja, whose provocative and powerful work is internationally acclaimed. Along with Soeriaatmadja’s so-called Trilogy About Intimacy, the lineup also includes such rising female directors as Nia Dinata, a pioneer in LGBT films, and Kamila Andini of the Mirror Never Lies. Please see the following pages for the full lineup. During the festival, guests from the films will attend the Q&A sessions and symposium.

Washington Convention Center on Sat. Jan 27 at ’08 WAS. Above, right: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) looks over GM’s Chevy Equinox fuel cell vehicle, which was the winner of the Green Car Journal’s “Vision Award,” at the WAS. The show attracted substantial media attention with numerous news agencies, such as the one interviewing WAS Chairman John Ourisman (below, right.) Pictured (bottom right) are pro- fessionals from Arthur Murray Dance Studios launching the popular, new WAS contest “Dancing for Toyotas.” “Dealers, salespeople and managers are reminded at a huge show like this how many thousands of people are still in love with new cars and trucks, which is a very renewing experience,” said John M. Ourisman of the recently concluded Washington Auto Show which he chaired. “We’re also gratified with the global focus of this auto show, which continues to position itself as the pub- lic policy show on the industry circuit,” he said. Commenting on show attendance, WAS Manager Bob Yoffe confirmed that the 2008 WAS may have inched ahead of 2007 that would make this year’s auto show the second best in Washington history. “Crowds were steady and orderly with far more e-ticket purchases this year than ever before,” Yoffe said, noting that this year’s closing weekend Sunday eclipsed attendance for the same day a year ago.
