Abstract

This study examines how Sinners (2025) dramatizes racial domination through the vampire genre by organizing inequality as a structural condition rather than an isolated act of prejudice. While current Black horror scholarship extensively analyzes metaphors of historical trauma, few studies examine the micro-sociological mechanics of capital extraction within these films. Addressing this gap, the film is selected because it places Black cultural space, especially music, communal gathering, and tradition at the center of conflict, allowing racial power to appear through both admiration and coercion. Using a qualitative film-text analysis, this research interprets key scenes through Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, capital, and field. The findings show that racial inequality in Sinners operates through three interlocking mechanisms: (1) habitus as bodily recalibration and anticipatory restraint during intrusion, (2) capital as the capture and conversion of Black cultural gifts (especially musical talent) into resources for domination, and (3) field as spatial expansion and forced rule-change that collapses Black autonomy from within. Together, these mechanisms reveal racial reproduction as a repeated process sustained through symbolic legitimacy, highlighting how horror cinema can expose the everyday workings of racial hierarchy beneath the surface of inclusion.

Abstract

The hijab phenomenon in Indonesia has undergone a radical transformation from a static theological signifier to a dynamic visual commodity in the digital era. This research aims to analyze the shift in religious authority and the interpretation of hijab verses (Surah Al-Ahzab: 59 and Surah An-Nur: 31) by comparing the official narrative of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) and the hijab fashion narratives on TikTok. Using Hans Robert Jauss’s Aesthetic of Reception theory, specifically the concepts of "horizon of expectation" and "aesthetic distance," the study employs a comparative analysis on diachronic and synchronic axes. The findings reveal a sharp divergence in reception: Kemenag builds a normative-institutional horizon focusing on legal compliance and moral protection, whereas TikTok constructs an aesthetic-digital horizon driven by algorithmic logic, visibility, and consumerism. This shift demonstrates a radical decentralization of religious authority, where digital influencers act as new interpreters prioritizing "visual orthopraxy" over traditional orthodoxy. Consequently, aesthetics has become a new regime of truth for the younger generation. This study concludes that religious institutions must adopt visual literacy and new interpretive approaches to remain relevant within modern visual culture.
