"This thesis deals with anti-slavery propaganda by means of slave narratives, a distinct American literary genre. The present writer has selected to discuss the Narrative of The LW of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave and Twelve Years A Slavef' Narrative of Solomon Northup in relation with the use of propaganda devices. From secondary sources, the present writer learns these devices as hereunder.Name-calling is applied to appeal to our hatred and fear by giving ?bad names? to individuals, groups, or policies, in this case to slaveholders and slavery. Glittering generalities is expressed by way of ?virtue words? to appeal to our emotion of love or liking. Tr-anwr is used by the propagandist to can-y over the authority and prestige ot` something we pay respect so as to have us accept the said thing. Testimonial makes us accept anything from a product to a policy by means of statements conceming the quality or character of a product, a person, or a policy; counter-testimonial is the other way round for the retiisal of the thing or person referred to. Plain folks is a device used to win our sympathy by appearing to be just like plain folks among the neighbors. Card-stacking is one employed through the arts of deception to win our support, whereas band-wagon is expressed to have us follow the crowd because ?every body?s doing it?The two narratives by _ Frederick Douglass and Solomon Northup abovementioned, in the present writer's observation, apply a good number of propaganda devices except card-stacking. The devices name-calling and counter-testimonial are the most intensively used and this is in accordance with the aim of the narratives at standing against slavery and slaveholders."

"Penelitian ilmiah ini menjelaskan tentang prasangka, diskriminasi dan cara bertahan hidup budak kulit hitam dalam slave narrative Twelve Years A Slave. Prasangka dan diskriminasi yang direpresentasikan melaui tokoh kulit putih dan hitam dalam slave narrative bervariasi sehingga membuat otobiografi dan sistem perbudakan menjadi sesuatu yang kompleks. Dehumanisasi yang dialami oleh orang kulit hitam karena adanya sistem perbudakan membuat orang kulit hitam mengembangkan cara bertahan hidup yang adaptif dan beberapa diantaranya sekaligus menjadi resistensi terhadap perbudakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan beberapa sudut pandang antara lain agama kristen, humanis, budaya Afrika-Amerika dan sudut pandang orang kulit putih untuk mengkaji apakah teknik bertahan hidup yang digunakan bermartabat.

"Drawing upon innovative theoretical and empirical scholarship presented at Narrative Matters 2012: Life and Narrative (The American University of Paris, May 29-June 1, 2012), this volume seeks to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the dynamic interplay of life and narrative by creatively addressing it from multiple angles. It features cross-disciplinary work by cutting-edge scholars in the social sciences and the humanities, including Jens Brockmeier, Jerome Bruner, Mark Freeman, Alexandra Georgakopoulou, James Phelan, and Brian Richardson. Four main intellectual contributions distinguish this volume. First, the contributors clearly detail the conceptual and empirical frameworks for describing the mutual construction of narrative and life. Second, the volume illustrates the tension between the need for narratives to hold and represent factual experiences and the power of narrative to conjure coherent worlds of imagination. Third, the volume explores the tension between the power of social and cultural forces to influence, or even impose, pre-configured interpretations on experience and the ingenuity of persons to create their own interpretations of experience. Finally, the problem of life and narrative is conceived as a cross-disciplinary problem.Cross-disciplinary study is crucial for thinking through basic problems in the social sciences and the humanities. There is still little dialogue among the disciplinary groups studying narrative, but these are conversations without boundaries, and limiting the scope leaves out critical perspectives that can advance knowledge of narrative, literature, and human beings. This volume aims to introduce a wide range of narrative scholars to the broader questions that narrative studies entails."
