Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of King Magnifico's leadership in the animated film Wish using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The film depicts Magnifico's transformation from a charismatic leader to an authoritarian and corrupt leader. A descriptive qualitative method was used by examining visual and narrative signs such as dialogue, costumes, colors, expressions, and symbols of power through Barthes' three levels of meaning, namely denotation, connotation, and myth. The results of the study show Magnifico's character change marked by strong visual attributes, ranging from changes in clothing colors to gestures and scene atmospheres that depict absolute power. Myth analysis reveals that the film legitimizes authoritarian leadership as something natural in social structures, while also criticizing domination without public dialogue. This study contributes to the study of character leadership representation in animated films and expands the application of Barthes' semiotic analysis in revealing the ideological meanings contained in film media.

Abstract

Stand-up comedy in Indonesia has evolved beyond entertainment to become a significant medium for political critique and social commentary. This study analyzes the discourse embedded in Pandji Pragiwaksono’s stand-up comedy show "Komoidoumenoi" (2020–2022), which explicitly references Aristophanes’ ancient Greek term for powerful figures made the subject of comic ridicule. Using Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, comprising text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice, this research examines how Pandji constructs power critiques through linguistic choices, rhetorical strategies, and comedic framing. The findings reveal three dominant discursive strategies: (1) satire as a legitimating device for political criticism, (2) humor as a counter-hegemonic tool that subverts dominant power narratives, and (3) the strategic use of historical and cultural intertextuality to anchor contemporary political critique. This study argues that "Komoidoumenoi" functions not merely as entertainment but as a site of discursive resistance that challenges power structures while navigating the boundaries of public acceptability in post-Reformasi Indonesia.
