| dc.description.abstract | This thesis strives to achieve two major goals. One is to increase the knowledge on the understanding of sexual politics in gender discrimination towards women. Secondly, is to examine the conflict of the division of class in Malaysian society highlighted in the moving images and texts of the six chosen P. Ramlee’s melodramas. The analyses of these six films were according to the structure of both textual and narrative analysis methods; which provides the analytical principles to illustrate the functionality and applicability of the feminist film theory of psychoanalysis and Marxist class conflict approach to film. Findings from the analyses show the simultaneous use of hegemonic and counter-hegemonic representations in the films. The findings correspond to the privileged male dominated patriarchal system and the objectification of the female body fused to create the cultural production of sexual politics. From the findings, the working class is oppressed within the framework of the social system where the reproduction of a ‘class society’ is confined within a rigid authoritarian state which governs and determines the continuity of class segregation to exist in the society to protect the interests of the middle class and the ruling elites in the capitalist society. The narrative of the six films chosen then unreservedly provides a conformist resolution to which all conflicts will be resolved. | en_US |
