It is apparent that existing social conventions unofficially mandates women to refuse sexual advances even when there may be the intention to engage. The adherence to this social script is what is referred to as token resistance or scripted refusal. Some studies have explored the subject of token resistance from a number of perspectives that attempt to identify the underlying reasons why women engaging in token resistance. However, there is very little research on this subject from the Nigerian perspective. This this study sought to explore token resistance further in order to understand the cultural cogency or peculiarity of the concept in the Nigerian context. This is because based on available literature, the conceptualization of token resistance may be different. With the use of purposive sampling technique, four sexually active women and undergraduates, volunteered to participate in the study. They were interviewed to understand their unique experiences and perception about token resistance using the principles of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) It was discovered that factors like personal pride, self-control, emotional security of relationship and the gratification of increased attention were responsible for women’s rejection of sexual advances even when there was the intention to do so. The study also got a better understanding of how women culturally represent this concept in Nigeria. We highlight limitations of the study and suggest areas for further study research.

Pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologis digunakan. Tujuh partisipan berhasil direkrut dengan teknik purposive dan snowball sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dan dianalisis menggunakan interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa mahasiswa Papua di Surabaya mengalami berbagai hambatan dalam menyesuaikan diri ketika sedang menjalani kuliah. Penyebab hambatan itu adalah adalah perbedaan dalam bahasa dan kebiasaan budaya. Partisipan juga mempersepsi perbedaan fisik dan warna kulit sebagai penyebab hambatan interaksi. Hambatan interaksi yang dihadapi menimbulkan dampak personal maupun sosial bagi para partisipan. Inferioritas dan sensitifitas adalah di antara beberapa dampak personal yang dialami. Sedangkan kecenderungan untuk lebih bergaul hanya dengan sesama mahasiswa Papua dan keengganan berhubungan dekat dengan mahasiswa dan masyarakat lokal menjadi dampak sosialnya. Namun, adanya hambatan interaksi dan dampaknya tersebut disadari oleh partisipan cukup merugikan sehingga mereka menjalankan beberapa strategi penyesuaian diri untuk mengatasinya. Beberapa strategi yang dapat diidentifikasi adalah: menghindar dari masalah (avoidance), berupaya mengendalikan emosi, pikiran, dan perilaku (self control), dan menghadapi masalah secara aktif (active coping). Berbagai strategi tersebut dilakukan terutama didorong oleh dua tujuan, yaitu demi pengembangan diri dan untuk menjaga kesejahteraan psikologis mereka. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa partisipan penelitian ini menghadapi berbagai kesulitan dalam beradaptasi dengan masyarakat lokal di mana mereka sedang studi, namun mereka melakukan upaya untuk mengatasi hambatan-hambatan adaptasi tersebut.

This study described the lived experiences of the English enthusiasts at the University of Cebu – Main Campus. The study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) through 15 BSED English Majors interviews. The analysis of data generated six themes “Actually, I am not really fond of reading books, but I’ve learned to enjoy reading love storybooks. They are very entertaining.” (Gaining Interest and Love for Reading), “The challenges that I encountered in my journey towards acquiring the love of reading are the unfamiliar words. Whenever I encountered those words, I usually pause and find their meanings.” (Dealing with Unfamiliar Words) “I addressed the challenges in positive ways. These only urge me to love reading more.” (Context and Comprehension Challenges) “I simply love reading because I can use my imagination. When I read, I feel like I’m the main character of the story.” (Attitude towards Reading) “In reading, you will experience things you haven’t experienced yet. You choose an author and a genre first before you read. In that way your interest and love of reading will be sustained but exploring is more fun.” (Personal Book Choice) “In reading, actually you discover yourself more, especially if you read different genres of books. My journey towards reading is self-discovery.” (Realizations through Reading). The study attempts to explain the different factors involved in the love of reading. These are gaining interest and love of reading, dealing with unfamiliar words, context and comprehension challenges, attitude towards reading, personal book choice, and realizations through reading. The English enthusiasts encountered some difficulties in reading various texts, passages, and other English classics. However, their enduring interest, love, and passion for reading transcend all forms of reading complexities. In contrast, some students may lack interest and motivation in reading. They tend to be superficial readers, or they just read when they are told to do so. Reading for them is dull and boring. Thus, the English enthusiasts may share their lived reading experiences with those reluctant and passive readers, and they may become more interested and motivated to read beyond the parameters of academic requirements.

The Subject

Through the characters of Zhenya and Boris, the film Nelyubov (2017) explores the issue of a toxic marriage. The story's theme reflects the complexities of the characters' relationships and the resulting problems. This theme adds intrigue to the film's problem articulation, particularly how the film's conflict can be constructed. Accordingly, this study seeks to identify the actant schemes created in the Nelyubov film. This study examines the location of individuals in the film using Algirdas Julien Greimas' Actantial Model theory. Further, this article employs Mills' Discourse Analysis and Smith's Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results indicate representations for the subject, object, helper, opposer, sender, and receiver in the Nelyubov film, allowing for the fulfillment of the three kinds of axis: the axis of desire, the axis of power, and the axis of transmission/knowledge. The film's subject is Zhenya, and the object is the happiness he seeks.

Film Style

The article describes the representations of landscapes in the films by Carlos Reygadas, whose role is to evoke the transcendental film style (as understood by Paul Schrader), and to express the experiences, thoughts and action of the screen protagonists. Landscapes perform various functions in Reygadas’s films. They are not only a background for film events or emphasize the mood and aura of contemplation of film images, but also a symbolic representation of emotions and experiences of the film’s heroes, and evoke the sphere of transcendence and sacrum, important for spiritual dilemmas and searches of protagonists. The article cites and discusses all of Reygadas’s fictional films made so far, which gives us the opportunity to compare them and demonstrate their mutual inspiration, and to continue the proprietary workshop, stylistic and thematic solutions. The research method in the article is analytical description of selected landscapes that play an important role in Carlos Reygadas’ films and the interpretation of the symbols contained in them, in accordance with the phenomenological and hermeneutic perspective. Interpretative phenomenological analysis enables, as the research tool used in the article, both the description of images (landscapes) appearing in Reygadas’ films and the presentation of their symbolic meanings. The subject of interest in interpretative phenomenological analysis is the life situation of film heroes, entangled in a chaos of various events and forced to make various choices. In accordance with the attitude adopted by the director, which can be described Katarzyna Citko as the syllaptic ‘I’ (a term used in the meaning given to him by Ryszard Nycz), they are also an exemplification of the worldview and the essence of the artistic creation by the author: Carlos Reygadas himself.

The Impact

Kehadiran internet memberikan alternatif bagi setiap individu untuk mencari pasangan hidup (jodoh) tanpa harus bertatap muka. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis pergeseran makna yang terjadi dalam proses ta’aruf yang dijalani oleh pria dan wanita yang sudah menikah serta individu yang sedang menjalani ta’aruf. Penelitian kualitatif ini fokus untuk menggali tahapan hubungan komunikasi interpersonal dalam proses ta’aruf melalui analisis data Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Informan penelitian ini terdiri dari tujuh orang, yaitu tiga pasangan yang sudah menikah melalui proses ta’aruf dan satu orang yang sedang menjalani proses ta’aruf di Kota Padang. Informan dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa tahapan dalam proses ta'aruf klasik, antara lain perkenalan, konfirmasi, penjajakan, pertemuan keluarga dan menetapkan hari pernikahan. Tahapan ta'aruf klasik ini bertransformasi dikarenakan konsekuensi teknologi komunikasi. Ta’aruf sudah bisa dilakukan melalui teman, orang tua, saudara maupun media sosial. Ta'aruf online membuat terjadinya pergeseran makna ta'aruf, di mana kesakralan sebuah proses ta’aruf sudah diartikan berbeda walaupun esensinya sama. Saat ini, keseriusan individu dalam menjalani ta’aruf tidak murni karena Allah, melainkan menjadi lifestyle dan sudah menjadi konsumsi publik bahkan kamuflase. The presence of the internet provides an alternative for each individual to find a life partner (mate) without having to meet face to face. This study aims to analyze the shifting of meaning in the ta'aruf process carried out by married couples and individuals undergoing ta'aruf. This qualitative research focused on exploring the stages of interpersonal communication in ta'aruf using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The informants of this study consisted of seven people, of which three couples were married through the ta'aruf process and one person who was undergoing the ta'aruf process in Padang. Informants were selected by the purposive sampling technique. The results of this study indicated that the stages in the classical ta'aruf process includes an introduction, confirmation, exploration, family gatherings, and setting a wedding day. This classical ta'aruf stage transforms due to the impact of communication technology. Ta'aruf can be done through friends, parents, siblings, and social media. Online ta'aruf makes a shift in the meaning of ta'aruf, where the sacredness of a ta'aruf process has been interpreted differently, although the essence stays the same. At present, the seriousness of individuals in carrying out ta'aruf is not purely due to Allah, but ta’aruf has become a lifestyle, public consumption, and even camouflage.

Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy have a certain degree of dependence. Nurses are present as service providers with caring experiences. Nurses' perception of caring is limited to the technical aspects of care. The purpose of this study is to explore nurse’s perspectives on caring behavior in treating cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The design of this study is a qualitative research. The participants were five nurses who directly involved in chemotherapy services. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. Data collection was carried by conducting in-depth interviews. The data collected were then analized according to the theme by Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and objectives of the study. This study has been approved in legal and ethic. Based on the results of the theme analysis, there are three themes namely caring understanding, forms of caring for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and the benefits of caring. Nurses' perceptions about forms of caring behavior for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are establishing relationships, conducting assessments, providing care that patients need and providing education related to patient health. This study recommends to provide information for nurses about nurse caring behavior that can be applied to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, so that nurses can improve caring behavior in patients
