Abstract

Rakesh's music video - Penguasa Malam is a story about a worker who experiences a dilemma between the mental burden of work and the need to please himself. This research examines the visual signs of the video clip regarding the social criticism of the working class in response to the development of capitalism. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with semiotic analysis method from Roland Barthes. The results showed that the meaning of the representation of working-class social criticism from Rakesh's video clip – Penguasa Malam presents a representation of class conflict between the lower working class (proletariat) and the upper class (bourgeoisie) under the influence of capitalism, where the concept of 'alienation' is often used as a visual message of criticism from the working class (proletariat) against capitalism, so that forms of criticism are presented such as self-introspection, fighting alienation, seeking peace and freedom, and fighting established social control.
