Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis representasi dan negosiasi identitas budaya Amerika dan Inggris dalam film My Oxford Year (2025) melalui narasi, dialog, perilaku tokoh, dan latar institusional Oxford. Dengan Teori Representasi Stuart Hall, penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana film membangun representasi kedua identitas melalui struktur naratif, penggambaran tokoh, dialog, unsur visual, dan Oxford sebagai latar institusional. Konsep negosiasi budaya dan hibriditas Homi K. Bhabha digunakan untuk menelaah perkembangan identitas Anna, tokoh utama, melalui keberadaan di antara dua budaya (in-betweenness), keliyanan (otherness), ambivalensi, konflik, disrupsi, mimikri, penerjemahan budaya (cultural translation), dan hibriditas. Anna digambarkan sebagai tokoh Amerika berdarah Argentina dari pihak ibu dan berayah imigran Kuba, latar belakang yang diakui dalam pembahasan tanpa menjadi fokus analisis tersendiri. Metode deskriptif kualitatif digunakan dengan data berupa adegan, dialog, dan unsur visual yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling lalu dikategorikan menjadi representasi budaya dan negosiasi/hibriditas budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan identitas Amerika direpresentasikan melalui orientasi karier, komunikasi langsung, dan partisipasi ekspresif Anna, sedangkan identitas Inggris direpresentasikan melalui ketidaklangsungan, kendali emosi, idiom bermuatan kelas sosial, dan warisan sastra yang tersebar pada beberapa tokoh. Oxford direpresentasikan sebagai ruang elite yang melegitimasi otoritas budaya Inggris sehingga identitas Amerika Anna terus-menerus perlu dijelaskan dalam lingkungan tersebut. Tanda representasional ini menjadi materi negosiasi Anna, yang berlangsung bukan sebagai adaptasi mulus melainkan melalui ambivalensi terhadap hubungannya dengan Jamie yang tidak pernah didefinisikan jelas, keengganannya mengakui hubungan itu sebagai sesuatu serius, disrupsi citra diri akademisnya setelah menerima masukan Jamie dalam sesi tutorial, dan mimikri cara bicara serta kode sosial Inggris, sebelum akhirnya membentuk identitas hibrida saat ia menafsirkan ulang tradisi Oxford dengan caranya sendiri di ruang ketiga (third space) Oxford. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan identitas budaya dalam film bukan sesuatu yang tetap, melainkan terbentuk berkelanjutan melalui interaksi representasi dan negosiasi dalam pertemuan lintas budaya. ***** This undergraduate thesis analyses the representation and negotiation of American and British cultural identities in My Oxford Year (2025) through narrative, dialogue, character behaviour, and Oxford's institutional setting. Using Stuart Hall's Representation Theory, it examines how the film constructs these identities through narrative structure, character portrayal, dialogue, visual elements, and Oxford as an institutional setting. Homi K. Bhabha's concepts of cultural negotiation and hybridity are applied to trace the development of Anna's identity through in-betweenness, otherness, ambivalence, conflict, disruption, mimicry, cultural translation, and hybridity. Anna is portrayed as an American character with an Argentine mother and a Cuban émigré father, a background acknowledged in the discussion without becoming a separate focus of analysis. A qualitative descriptive method is used, with scenes, dialogues, and visual elements selected through purposive sampling and organized into cultural representation and cultural negotiation/hybridity. Findings show American identity is represented through Anna's career orientation, direct communication, and expressive participation, while British identity is represented through indirectness, emotional restraint, class-coded idiom, and a literary inheritance distributed across several characters. Oxford is represented as an elite space that legitimizes British cultural authority, positioning Anna's American identity as something that consistently requires explanation within that environment. These representational signs become the material for Anna's negotiation, which unfolds not as smooth adaptation but through ambivalence toward her undefined relationship with Jamie, her resistance to naming it as anything serious, disruption of her academic self-image after his tutorial feedback, and mimicry of British speech and social codes, before she eventually forms a hybrid identity by reinterpreting Oxford's own traditions in her own voice within Oxford's third space. This study concludes that cultural identity in the film is not fixed but continuously constructed through the interaction between representation and negotiation within cross-cultural encounters.
