Abstract

Compared to previous generations, Generation Z (Gen Z) lives in a different lifestyle and culture. Since their youth, Gen Z cannot be separated from digital and technological aspects in their daily life. In communication, it can be assumed that Gen Z is familiar with the use of WhatsApp as their primary communication medium. It is proven that in the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, WhatsApp was crucial as a communication medium by Gen Z. On the other hand, communication patterns in digital space are quite different from traditional verbal communication. There are many features in WhatsApp, one of them is emoticon features, that make the process of language interpretation become ambiguous and multi-interpretative. This study aims to uncover that language phenomenon, especially by analysing connotations and myths represented in WhatsApp emoticons used by Gen Z, using the perspective of Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. The results of this research show that through the WhatsApp emoticons used by Gen Z, it can be concluded that WhatsApp emoticons are often used arbitrarily by Gen Z, which then implies certain connotative meanings, which are also related to the context of the conversation being built. The myth that underlies this phenomenon is the cultural background of Gen Z as a generation that cannot be separated from technological aspects, thus allowing for their authentic uniqueness in language styles, caused by the mediated language through digital platforms such as WhatsApp.

Abstract

Cerpen “Perawan, Perawan, Turunkan Rambutmu” (2021) karya Riyana Rizki menunjukkan adanya pola yang menarik. Cerpen tersebut memodifikasi sekaligus menggugat pola formulaik dongeng Barat, untuk kemudian memunculkan wacana feminisme melalui permainan metafora dan metonimi yang ada di dalamnya. Metafora dan metonimi yang muncul juga tampak sebagai representasi hasrat dalam konsepsi psikoanalisis Lacanian. Penelitian ini hendak mengkaji cerpen "Perawan, Perawan, Turunkan Rambutmu" karya Riyana Rizki dengan pendekatan psikoanalisis Lacanian dan wacana feminisme. Penelitian akan bergerak dalam dua arah, yakni menganalisis metafora dan metonimi yang muncul sebagai representasi hasrat, serta memaparkan wacana feminisme yang dinarasikan di dalam cerpen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya metafora dan metonimi yang muncul seperti konsep perawan, lelaki, rambut, menara, dan buku sebagai representasi hasrat yang mendua, yakni di antara kemurnian perempuan dan kebebasan. Selain itu, muncul pula wacana perlawanan terhadap dunia patriarki, di mana tokoh-tokoh perempuan di dalam cerpen mampu melawan dan mengatasi dunia patriarki tersebut.Kata Kunci: psikoanalisis, hasrat, feminisme, patriarki.
