Partini, - (2008) ASPECTS OF DISCRIMINATION ON A CHARACTER WITH AIDS :A Textual Analysis on Ron Nyswaner's "Philadelphia" FUm Script. S1 thesis, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
Abstract
This study aimed to reveal how discrimination towards a character with
AIDS was depicted in the screenplay of "Philadelphia" which was written by Ron
Nyswaner. To conduct the study, the writer used a descriptive-qualitative design
and applied close reading strategy to read the text. The data were in the form of
textual evidence and obtained through reading the text. Michel Foucault's
concept of power and other relevant sources were used to analyze the data. From
the findings and discussion, it was revealed that discrimination towards a
character with AIDS was exercised in different forms and a variety of contexts.
Scared of contracting HIV/AIDS, most of the characters discriminated the
infected character* Some GharaGters discriminated the infected character on behalf
of institution's interest and some others exercised it on behalf of personal reasons.
Therefore, discriminatory practices in the text had something to do with the issue
of power. In short, discrimination was in the form of verbal (overt/covert
statements) and nonverbal (unwelcome gestures and facial expressions, and the
act of indifference). As a result of discrimination, resistance came up from both
the subject of discrimination and others who might have sympathy for the
character and concern with the issue ofHTV7AIDS.
