Abstract

This article critically examines the intersection of gender, power, and religious ideology in the Indonesian film Tuhan, Izinkan Aku Berdosa, using Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework within a communication studies perspective. By analyzing the denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings of key visual elements—such as the hijab, spatial dynamics, lighting, and body language—the study reveals how symbolic narratives in the film reproduce patriarchal discourse and religious authority that regulate women’s bodies and moral identities. Film, as a form of mediated communication, functions not merely as entertainment but as a powerful ideological text that shapes public perception, reinforces cultural myths, and contributes to the construction of social norms. Building upon this, the article expands the analysis by connecting the film’s symbolic representations to Indonesia’s legal and policy frameworks, including Islamic family law, local moral regulations (Perda Syariah), and recent legislation on sexual violence. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the study engages feminist legal theory and reformist Islamic scholarship to show how cinematic representations both reflect and challenge institutionalized gender inequality. The findings demonstrate that visual communication in film can serve as a discursive arena for negotiating religious authority, exposing moral hypocrisy, and contesting legal injustices. Ultimately, this study underscores the critical role of film as a medium of cultural resistance and legal reflection in contemporary Indonesian society.

Abstract

Media play a crucial role in disaster risk communication by shaping public understanding and perception of potential hazards. In Indonesia, intensive media coverage of the potential megathrust earthquake, particularly during the period when the issue became widely viral in mid to late 2024, raised public concern regarding the amplification of risk perception. This study examines the effect of media exposure on the amplification of risk perception related to the potential megathrust earthquake in Indonesia, with self-relevance and news credibility as moderating variables. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 185 respondents and analysed using moderated regression analysis with the PROCESS Macro (Model 3) developed by Hayes to examine both direct and interaction effects. The results indicate that media exposure has a positive and significant effect on risk perception. Self-relevance strengthens the relationship between media exposure and risk perception, while news credibility moderates this relationship, particularly when self-relevance is low. The overall model demonstrates strong explanatory power (R² = 0.897), indicating a substantial contribution of the proposed variables in explaining variations in risk perception. This study contributes theoretically to the literature on risk communication and the Social Amplification of Risk Framework by demonstrating that the amplification of disaster risk perception is not solely driven by media exposure, but is contingent upon individual relevance and perceived credibility of news sources. Practically, the findings underscore the importance of responsible disaster communication strategies that balance public awareness with the prevention of excessive fear.
