Abstract

This qualitative case study explores the experiences of culture shock among non-Javanese students studying at a university in Java, Indonesia. Despite staying within national borders, these students encountered significant cultural dissonance due to Indonesia’s rich ethnic and cultural diversity. Drawing from personal reflections and narratives of four students from various provinces, the study investigates how culture shock manifested, affected their academic engagement, and how individual backgrounds influenced their coping strategies. The findings reveal that language barriers, cultural hierarchy, and separation from family contribute to emotional and psychological stress, particularly during the initial stages of adaptation. However, shared living environments, age, academic level, and cultural proximity to Javanese norms played a critical role in either mitigating or amplifying the impact. This study highlights the importance of culturally responsive support in higher education institutions and suggests that culture shock, when positively navigated, can lead to personal growth and intercultural competence.

Abstract

This report presents a semiotic analysis of the Indonesian horror film “Santet Segoro Pitu” using Roland Barthes' framework, which includes denotation, connotation, and myth. This study adopts a descriptive-qualitative method, with the film “Santet Segoro Pitu” as the main object. The primary research instrument is Roland Barthes' semiotic approach, which is used to uncover the meaning of signs in the film through three levels of signification: denotation, connotation, and myth. Data collection techniques include watching the entire film on Netflix, using screenshots as documentation, conducting in-depth observations of symbols, and applying triangulation methods. By examining seven key symbols—the black magic “Santet Segoro Pitu,” the mysterious package, the seven seas, the shaman, the Suanggi ghost, the Ruwatan ritual, the offerings, and the antagonist shaman's altar—this study aims to uncover the deeper cultural, social, and ideological messages embedded in the film. This analysis demonstrates how the film leverages traditional Indonesian beliefs about shamans and black magic to construct a narrative that reflects societal anxieties, the enduring power of local folklore, and the tension between traditional and modern practices.
