Abstract

Terima Kasih Sudah Bertahan is a song by Ghea Indrawari that narrates an emotional journey and personal experiences in facing life’s challenges. This study aims to analyze the representation of personal resilience in the song through three aspects: commitment, control, and challenge, using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The research data includes verbal texts (song lyrics) and nonverbal texts (visuals from the music video) sourced from the YouTube channel HITS Records – Music Video Terima Kasih Sudah Bertahan. Data collection techniques involved listening, note-taking, and screenshot methods. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing more on meaning-making than generalization. The findings reveal that the representation of personal resilience in this song is portrayed through a strong commitment to endure and not give up, effective self-control in facing difficulties, and challenges faced with courage and determination.

Abstract

This study explores the concept of representation, semiotics, and visual communication through the lens of fingerprint painting as a unique form of abstract art. Drawing on theories from Stuart Hall, John Fiske, Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, and Charles Sanders Peirce, the research examines how meaning is constructed through signs, symbols, and artistic expression. Representation is understood as a process of encoding and decoding meaning, where language and media shape social perceptions. Semiotics, as introduced by Saussure and expanded by Barthes and Peirce, provides a framework for analyzing how signs function in communication and artistic expression. Fingerprint painting is investigated as a visual language that conveys identity, tradition, and cultural symbolism. This research applies Peirce’s semiotic theory to analyze fingerprint painting as a system of signs, incorporating icons, indices, and symbols. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on audiovisual data from the documentary Di Balik Lukisan Sidik Jari, supported by literature reviews and media analysis. Data collection techniques include observation, listening, and note-taking to interpret verbal and nonverbal elements within the documentary. Findings indicate that fingerprint painting serves as more than an aesthetic medium; it is a symbolic representation of cultural identity, tradition, and personal expression. Through semiotic analysis, the research highlights how fingerprints, as unique individual markers, contribute to the authenticity of artistic creation. This study provides insight into the role of representation in art and the broader implications of semiotic analysis in visual culture.

Abstract

This article examined the transformation of Betawi oral culture in the digital age through a semiotic analysis of the works of Tadjuddin Nur. Oral culture, which previously existed in the form of live performances, is now shifting to audio-visual digital platforms, such as YouTube. This study employed a semiotic approach by combining Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic theory of signs and Yuri Lotman’s cultural semiotics perspective to understand how meaning is produced, represented, and reinterpreted in a digital context. Research methods included netnography and multimodal analysis of verbal, visual, and performative elements in Tadjuddin Nur’s YouTube content. The findings revealed that digitization functions as a space for recontextualization, generating new, more interactive, and multimodal forms of oral tradition, where Tadjuddin Nur acts as a cultural mediator bridging oral traditions with digital technology within a dynamic semiosphere. In addition, the study shows that digital media make Betawi oral traditions more accessible to a wider audience. At the same time, these platforms allow the culture to adapt and remain relevant in today’s modern society.

Abstract

Background: This study examines the implementation of Betawi language preservation policy in an urban context, focusing on policy design, implementation capacity, and collaborative governance. Objective: This study aims to identify factors limiting effective Betawi language revitalization in urban communities. Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted using policy document analysis, in-depth interviews, and field observations. Data were analyzed using George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation framework and Ansell and Gash’s collaborative governance model. Results: Despite strong normative legitimacy, the policy has not achieved functional language revitalization. Weak translation of regulations into operational programs, limited human resources and learning instruments, and fragmented cross-actor coordination have produced symbolic outputs without transforming everyday language use. The study introduces the concept of symbolic-performative policy, describing policies that generate cultural legitimacy through institutionalized ceremonial activities but fail to internalize language functions in urban communities. Education remains the primary implementation arena but is not yet integrated into a sustainable language-use ecosystem. Conclusion: The policy’s limited effectiveness stems from disconnections among policy design, implementation capacity, and collaborative governance. Urban regional-language revitalization therefore requires an integrated, cross-sectoral language-use ecosystem beyond regulatory and ceremonial approaches.
