“…In a way, from an Islamic perspective, Si Blorok is depicted as a mother who can be the first teacher to teach good morals to her children. This result is also in line with some previous studies finding an ideal and good mother in performing moral values to the children in several literary works (Al Manaseer & Radhi, 2022;Chiranorawanit & Sripicharn, 2020;Fadhliah et al, 2021;Guillem & Barnes, 2018;Jabeen, 2019;Lestari et al, 2018). Furthermore, literary works are an educating media to share and perform good moral values to be practiced in life.…”

“…She is portrayed as an ideal mother who can be a role model for parents in educating their children. Besides, some researchers also find a good mother figure in several literary works in their studies (Al Manaseer & Radhi, 2022;Chiranorawanit & Sripicharn, 2020;Fadhliah et al, 2021;Guillem & Barnes, 2018;Jabeen, 2019). The mother figure is also described as a source of blessing for the children in literary works (Sigalingging & Saragih, 2022).…”

A fairy tale is a media parents use to instill good values in children. In fairy tales, children can learn values embedded to strengthen their value education. One of the figures who often has a vital role in conveying values and becomes a role model is a mother figure. The mother figure in children’s stories or fairy tales can inspire parents in the family or teachers at school by providing an example of good behavior to the children. This study focused on Islamic education values in the character of Si Blorok, portrayed as a mother figure. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach by analyzing the character of Si Blorok. The data source was a fairy tale entitled "Dongenge Pitik karo Bebek" written by Impian Nopitasarihe data is the character of Si Blorok as a mother figure presenting Islamic education values through sentences or dialogues in the fairy tale. Another character in Dongenge Pitik karo Bebek became supporting data in analyzing the Islamic education values performed by Si Blorok. The data were analyzed by applying Menderop’s theories (2005), namely telling and showing methods to explore the character in the fairy tale. The results show that Si Blorok is regarded as a happy, loving and caring, loyal and patient, fair, active, and wise mother. Therefore, from an Islamic perspective, the figure mother, Si Blorok, has reflected as the first teacher to teach good values to children.

“…Rather, these mothers enter an American culture that is hostile to both migrants and mothers. Therefore, this chapter seeks to respond to the call of Guillem and Barnes (2018), who ask scholars to "constantly and critically expose the white consciousness that lies at the core of postfeminist concerns" and to critically question the "normative stance that clearly situates 'good mothering,' and 'good feminism' more broadly, alongside anti-racist struggles" (296).…”

Refiguring Motherhood Beyond Biology

This book unpacks and interrogates dominant constructions of mothering, making use of interdisciplinary, ideological and theoretical perspectives to investigate how new rhetorics of mothering can expand the realm of maternal care-givers beyond the biological definitions of motherhood.This diverse collection is at the cutting-edge of rhetoric, feminism, and motherhood studies, and the chapters challenge the confines of biological parenting as heteronormative within the neo-liberal nuclear family. The contributors examine, how despite the diversity of parental relationships, many are excluded by the understanding of mothers biologically tied to their children. The volume seeks to expose the underpinnings of biological primacy and argues that 21st-century families and familial circumstances are ill-served by biological ideology. Topics include Re-Imagining Queer Black Motherhood, Chicana Feminist approaches to reproductive justice, the commercialization and medicalization of infertility, and ableism and motherhood.This is a unique and fascinating book suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, sexuality studies, communication studies, sociology, and cultural studies.

“…Of course, these scenes evoke a great deal about white liberal guilt, showing how mainstream television fiction panders to hegemonic tendencies to reduce Black experience to representations that help to 'keep whiteness and white (bad) feeling in the center' (Kyröla, 2017: 2). As several critics have noted, "race" is not handled well in Mad Men thanks to its unthinking replication of dominant racialised discourses and logics (Beail, 2015;de la Torre, 2012;Martínez Guillem and Barnes, 2018;Ono, 2013;Wallace, 2013), and this feeds off and into the broader social context in which cultural differences continue to be marginalised and disavowed. One of the values of a psychoanalytic approach to cultural dynamics is that it allows the unconscious dimensions of the complex and unsavoury processes at work to be surfaced, exposing the denials and slippages for analysis.…”

Claims that Mad Men (2007–2015) is an obedient post-feminist text overlook the drama’s images of both women and the history of feminism and its potential to impact on contemporary understandings of gender politics. Mad Men can be seen as a psychological object, helping viewers to explore links between their own experience and that of characters on screen as the narrative unfolds. Making links between the social re-emergence of feminist awareness, the drama’s representations of second-wave feminism and a psychoanalytic understanding of mourning, I suggest that a return to psychoanalytic methodologies has the potential to enrich television scholarship.
