Abstract

The warrior character is an important element in the storyline and a narrative developer in silat films. The warrior is the main character with distinctive characteristics in Silat's stories, especially the visual character. Talent is supported by make-up with a body shape that tends to be static to differentiate the role. This research explores the relationship between character make-up, body shape, and character, including stereotypes of warrior characters in silat films. This research used content analysis with a physiognomy theory approach to read the characters in the characters' make-up. In addition, somatotype theory is used to analyze characters based on body shape. A case study was conducted on the Indonesian Silat film Wiro Sableng (2018), focusing on the main hero, heroine, and villain characters and representing three body types.

Abstract

Different cinematic contexts reflect filmmakers' varied perspectives and intentions, shaping the visual ideologies presented on screen. One principal means by which filmmakers articulate such ideologies is through costume design. Costumes function not merely as clothing but as symbolic artefacts that convey social, cultural, and ideological meanings. They play a vital role in shaping audience perceptions of characters and their roles while revealing more profound insights into identity, values, and worldviews. Previous research has highlighted how costumes contribute to character identity, particularly in terms of status, role, and psychological attributes. This study employs Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory and content analysis to explore the denotative and connotative meanings of costumes. The aim is to deepen the understanding of costume as a visual medium and to examine its ideological function, particularly in character representation. The analysis focuses on the character Anggini in the Wiro Sableng series (1995) and the movie (2018). Findings indicate that Anggini’s costume in the 1995 series reflects traditional cultural values, emphasising modesty, elegance, and femininity. In contrast, the 2018 film's costumes portray female strength more explicitly, influenced by Western aesthetics and the film’s multinational context. A structural costume pattern for female warrior characters typically consists of traditional female attire on the upper body, accompanied by male or unisex garments below for enhanced agility, and functional footwear for combat. These findings offer practical insights for emerging costume or fashion designers working with female warrior archetypes in Indonesian cinema.

Abstract

This study investigates the development of French language learning and its relation to e-learning. The study employs a computational approach to bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. The authors used the Publish or Perish application to collect scholarly sources from Google Scholar over the past ten years (2013–2023). The keywords “E-Learning,” “Educational Application,” and “French Learning” were used to identify relevant articles, resulting in 802 sources related to the topic. The results show that the four most frequently occurring terms are e-learning, French, application, and education. A total of 182 items were identified and grouped into seven clusters. The number of publications fluctuated from 2013 to 2020. In even-numbered years, there was a general increase in publications (56, 59, 66, and 73), while odd-numbered years showed a downward trend (47, 56, 60, and 73). In 2021 and 2022, there was a significant increase to 92 and 126 publications, respectively. In 2023, the number slightly decreased to 94 publications. The results of this study may serve as a foundation for future research on French language learning through e-learning and contribute to the growing body of literature on digital language education.

Abstract

Malang’s ancient temple statues embody deep symbolic meanings that reflect the region’s spiritual, historical, and cultural identity. However, in contemporary society, these artifacts often remain static relics with limited engagement from younger generations, creating a disconnect between cultural heritage and modern life. This research addresses the question of how the symbolic essence of temple statues can be preserved and reintroduced in forms relevant to today’s creative industries. The study aims to visually reconstruct and reinterpret the symbolic values of Kidal Temple statues into contemporary batik motifs, transforming them into living cultural expressions that can be worn, circulated, and appreciated in everyday contexts. The objectives are twofold: to develop batik designs that authentically represent the visual and symbolic richness of the statues, and to propose a model of cultural preservation through design innovation that bridges heritage and contemporary creative practices. The research adopts the design thinking method due to its iterative and human-centered approach, encompassing five stages: empathy, define, ideation, prototyping, and testing. Cultural insights are gathered through field observation and expert interviews, translated into visual elements, explored through motif development, and refined through feedback from artisans and users. The outcomes include a series of batik patterns that reinterpret Kidal Temple symbolism, contributing to heritage preservation, reinforcing local identity, and offering practical strategies for integrating cultural narratives into the creative economy.

Abstract

The fashion industry faces ongoing environmental challenges due to fast fashion practices that accelerate resource depletion and textile waste. Slow fashion has been proposed as a sustainable alternative; however, its application in Indonesia remains largely confined to zero-waste and upcycling approaches, while studies on transformative clothing are still limited. This research aims to develop the Hydrangea Multi-Styling Dress as a sustainable fashion innovation inspired by the adaptive characteristics of hydrangea flowers. Hydrangeas are employed as a biological metaphor to represent flexibility and resilience in transformative fashion design. The study adopts a practice-led research methodology through a three-stage design process consisting of concept formulation, creative exploration, and implementation. Data were analysed through systematic design documentation, development of multiple styling configurations, and expert validation involving academics and fashion practitioners. The findings indicate that the garment enables five distinct styling variations within a single product and facilitates user participation through a co-creation approach. This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable fashion by integrating transformative design, user engagement, and biological inspiration, offering an alternative pathway for advancing slow fashion practices beyond conventional strategies.
