Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the conflict between religion and science is represented in episodes 1 and 2 of the anime Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, by uncovering the ideological meanings conveyed through the visual and verbal signs present in the anime. This study employs a qualitative approach using Roland Barthes's semiotic theory as the primary analytical framework, exploring meaning through three sequential stages: denotation, connotation, and myth. The analysis focuses on three carefully selected scenes that align with the theme of the conflict between religion and science. Data validity will be tested for accuracy through triangulation theory, utilizing Stuart Hall's theory of representation and Ian Barbour's theory of the relationship between religion and science. The findings of this study indicate that the conflict between religion and science in this anime is not represented as a clash between two equal powers but rather as an unequal power relationship. In the anime Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, it can be concluded that religious institutions are depicted as maintaining their dominance through three mechanisms that operate in an escalating manner: discourse restriction at the individual level, physical violence at the institutional level, and the production of ideological narratives that naturalize repression as an honorable moral duty. These findings align with Barbour's conflict model, which asserts that religion.
