Abstract

The strength of film as a medium that represents and constructs reality with the storyline which is symbolically packaged, through substance and full of socio-cultural values. This study is to describe the deconstruction of femininity and women's resistance meaning in the “Mother” movie. This research is a descriptive qualitative text research using main analysis of critical discourse by Sara Mills. The subject is the “Mother” movie, a thriller drama directed by Bong Joon-Ho. Collecting data at the text level, especially through documentation and literature studies, and furthermore, data is validated through FGD with experts who have experience and knowledge according to the object of research. The results explain the deconstruction of feminine values and women's resistance meaning in the “Mother” movie positioning women as objects. At this level, there is an objectification of women through the main character played by Hye ja, although another tendency appears which also positions women as subjects in the storyline. The emergence of physical and emotional aspects of femininity strengthens the objectification of women in the film. However, there is a dissection on femininity and resistance value in the film due to the emotional dynamics of the main character’s complex character. Finally, the existence of media as an industry and the power of messages makes the practice of media commodification depends on the owners, so it’s possible that the image of the female character in the film is used to represent a form of media power over the commodification of the message conveyed.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the construction of the political identity of the santri community in the context of the 2024 General Election, highlighting the increasing visibility and influence of santri figures in Indonesia’s political landscape. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, using snowball and purposive sampling techniques to select santri political figures who participated in the 2024 legislative elections. The validity of the data was ensured through source triangulation, and analysis was conducted using an interactive model involving data reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings reveal that santri political figures construct and display their identity—rooted in pesantren affiliation, kinship ties, and organizational networks—as strategic representations to gain political legitimacy. The research identifies three dominant identity patterns: traditional pesantren-based santri, Muslim intellectuals with academic backgrounds, and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)-affiliated santri activists. These identities are performed through campaign activities, media engagement, and symbolic religious attributes. These findings contribute to the expanding discourse on religion and politics in Indonesia, particularly the strategic role of religious identity in political branding. The study offers practical insights for political practitioners and enriches scholarly understanding of identity construction within Islamic communities. Its originality lies in mapping santri political identity construction during a contemporary national election, an area underexplored in previous studies.
