    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.
