{"title":"Interpreting Romantic Themes in Counting Crows' Accidentally in Love","authors":"Nur Fitriani, Hasnirah Hasnirah, Fitriyani Bakri","doi":"10.31605/ilere.v1i1.3900","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31605/ilere.v1i1.3900","url":null,"abstract":"This research aims to interpret romantic themes in Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love by revealing the meaning of love in the lyrics of the song. It employs a descriptive qualitative research design to identify and interpret the meaning of the song. The primary data of this research was obtained from Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love and secondary data from internet webs, journal articles, textbooks, and other online resources. The data was analyzed by using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis which consists of six steps: (a) familiarizing with the data; (b) generating initial codes; (c) searching for themes; (d) reviewing themes; (e) defining and naming themes; and (f) producing the report. The data was also interpreted by using Roland Barthes’ semiotic concept: denotation, connotation, and myth. The result of the research reveals that the song describes the author's feeling of being in accidental love when he does not know anything about love before. His feelings and experiences are associated with falling in love unexpectedly, including chaos, happiness, uncertainty, courage, hope, and magic. The meaning of his love in this song is an experience that is unexpected, full of excitement, and sometimes chaotic, but also provides deep meaning and happiness.","PeriodicalId":57510,"journal":{"name":"外国语文研究","volume":"1 1","pages":"20-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ojs.unsulbar.ac.id/index.php/ilere/article/download/3900/1682","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147890588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Through the Haze: Fidelity of Adaptation in Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice","authors":"Travis Richard Merchant","doi":"10.71106/vmbk7983","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.71106/vmbk7983","url":null,"abstract":"Many directors and writers struggle with adaptations of novels. However, Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation, Inherent Vice, acts as a commentary on the original work by emphasizing characters and images to embody the voice of the original author, Thomas Pynchon. This voice is accomplished through Sortilège, a character who appears briefly in the novel and is expanded to take on Pynchon’s narratorial voice. The paper engages with the use of faded imagery in the adaptation to embody drug-induced scenes and the voice of Sortilège as Pynchon, and explores how Anderson’s adaptation preserves the intoxicating haze and struggles to discover correlation and meaning.","PeriodicalId":57510,"journal":{"name":"外国语文研究","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"http://ellids.com/archives/2019/07/2.4-Merchant.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147892933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
