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.
