  • Pirates, Justice and Global Order in the Anime 'One Piece '
    PIRATES, JUSTICE AND GLOBAL ORDER IN THE ANIME ‘ONE PIECE ‘ "Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale? (St. Augustine City of God, Book 4, Ch. 4). DRAFT, work in progress…do not quote without permission I. INTRODUCTION The manga/anime (Japanese cartoon) titled ONE PIECE telling the story of the pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his crew is one of the most successful Japanese cultural products of all time. The first volume of One Piece was published in 1997 and it has been published weekly ever since. It has sold over 430.000.000 million copies worldwide (70.000.000 outside Japan) and it has set already years ago the world record for "The most copies published for the same comic book series, by a single author."1 Although One Piece is the most successful Japanese manga series there are many others -like Dragon Ball or Full Metal Alchemist 2 - with fans around the World, making Japanese manga not only a successful export product, but many believe also a source of Japanese soft power (Bouissou 2006). This in the case of One Piece is especially true for East Asia, with many young readers in the region being inspired by the manga to turn their interest towards Japan (Hirai et al. 2014). Although such products of popular culture are produced mainly for entertainment purposes, we should not dismiss the reflections they make about the social and the political world, as it is recognized that they do not only depict, but also construct identities, shape security narratives and form our world, explaining why scholars increasingly turned their attention to their study (Weldes and Rowley 2015).

  • 1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Karya Sastra Merupakan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Karya sastra merupakan hasil kreativitas pengarang yang menggunakan manusia dan segala macam segi kehidupannya sebagai objek karyanya. Sastra merupakan suatu kegiatan kreatif, sebuah karya seni (Wellek dan Warren , 1989: 3). Sastra juga bidang kajian yang begitu banyak mengandung bidang pandang. Sastra bagi sebagian orang dinilai sebagai kreasi seni yang mangandung nilai luhur, nilai moral yang berguna untuk mendidik umat. Bagi setengah orang pula, sastra dinilai sebagai kreasi seni yang didorong oleh gejolak bathin yang bersifat individual (Semi, 2008: 2). Sastra adalah suatu bentuk hasil dan pekerjaan seni kreatif yang obyeknya adalah manusia dan kehidupannya dengan menggunakan bahasa sebagai mediumnya (Semi, 1993: 8). Salah satu bidang kajian sastra yaitu psikologi sastra. Endraswara (2011: 96) mengatakan bahwa Psikologi sastra adalah kajian sastra yang memandang karya sebagai aktivitas kejiwaan. Pengarang akan menggunakan cipta, rasa, dan karya dalam berkarya. Begitu pula pembaca, dalam menanggapi karya juga tak akan lepas dari kejiwaan masing-masing. Di dalam psikologi sastra, tentunya terdapat sebuah konflik. Konflik merupakan pertentangan, percekcokan. Sedangkan konflik batin merupakan hal yang disebabkan oleh adanya dua gagasan atau lebih atau keinginan yang saling bertentangan untuk menguasai diri sehingga mempengaruhi tingkah laku. Salah satu contoh karya sastra yaitu komik. Komik secara internasional merupakan karya sastra yang menggunakan gambar-gambar tidak bergerak yang 1 disusun sedemikian rupa sehingga menjadi jalinan cerita. Biasanya, komik dicetak di atas kertas dengan tambahan teks cerita. Namun di berbagai negara komik memiliki nama tersendiri. Contohnya di Jepang komik disebut Manga, di Cina disebut dengan Manhua, di Korea disebut dengan Manhwa dan di Indonesia disebut dengan cerita gambar.

  • Problematic Particles
    JAPANSKA Problematic particles A translation analysis of sentence-final particles used in Tales of Vesperia Mikael Niazi Handledare: Martin Nordeborg Kandidatuppsats Examinator: HT 2014 Abstract This thesis will inquire into translation issues surrounding Japanese gender-specific sentence- final particles used by the main character of the role-playing game Tales of Vesperia. The focal point of the study is the investigation regarding how the translators of the English game converted certain pieces of language tied to gender from Japanese to English in order to adjust the text to the Western audience. Recently, video games have started to move away from prejudice commonly associated with the term, which in turn has led to an increasing acknowledge of them by society as their own form of art. In correspondence to this, research surrounding language frequently encountered within them, among other things, becomes increasingly important, especially considering that studies surrounding translation issues in video games have hitherto been rather scarce.

  • Odyssey of the Cultural Narrative: Japan's Cultural Representation In
    Global Media Journal-Indian Edition; Volume 13 Issue1; June 2021.ISSN:2249-5835 Odyssey of the cultural narrative: Japan’s cultural representation in Eiichiro Oda's One Piece Manish Prabhakar Singh Research Scholar, H.N.B. Garhwal University Uttarakhand Abstract One Piece is a Japanese Manga series drawn by Eiichiro Oda and published serially in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since July 1997 and continuing with the same popularity. It portrays the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, who dreams to become the Pirate King. He gained the properties of rubber after eating a Devil Fruit and is exploring the Grand Line along with his crewmates(The Straw Hat Pirates) in search of the eponymous legendary treasure 'One Piece' left by the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger. What makes this particular manga unique is Oda's representation of Japanese culture and tradition. He also uses some features similar to Ukiyo-e artworks, i.e., the woodblock art prints, which were targeted at the mass audience and also share thematic similarities. The influence of Ukiyo-e and Oda's love for Japanese art, along with its culture, folklore, and myths, is clearly seen in the ongoing Wano country arc. One Piece today has transcended the boundaries of manga, turning into a pop culture sensation in Japan. In the research paper, to apply the analytical and descriptive methods to the research, the original work, as well as the secondary sources available in the form of criticism, will be used. In my research, I will also try to apply the perspective of Cultural Studies.
