Abstract

The research seeks to explain the ideology claim of the chair depicted in the cover of Tempo magazine on March 25-31, 2024 edition. The research method employs qualitative analysis with Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach, including denotation description, connotation interpretation, and myth/ideology claims. Data collection for this study was conducted through literature observation techniques, focusing on two cover images from the March 25-31, 2024 edition of Tempo magazine. The research reveals that the ideology represented by the chair on the magazine cover reflects human avarice within the framework of power.
