Abstract

Abstract. The film "Budi Pekerti" was selected for analysis due to its portrayal of the phenomenon of ethical decline among individuals in both the physical and virtual realms. This research project aims to examine the manner in which Islam provides an explanation of human behaviour through the Qur'an and Hadith, and to analyse the storyline, semiotics and values present in the film. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach was employed, comprising observation, documentation, and a literature study. A semiotic analysis of the film revealed twelve scenes containing elements of semiotics, including dialogue, body language, and expressions. A semiotic analysis based on Charles S. Peirce's theory reveals the meanings conveyed in the film. The first scene illustrates the meaning of failure through the act of twisting fingers, while the second scene emphasises the significance of direct confrontation with the incident. The remaining scenes convey the meanings of introspection, gratitude, and reflection on death and communication. The Islamic values espoused in the film emphasise moral aspects, particularly those related to creed and sharia, which are relevant in certain contexts. Abstrak. Film "Budi Pekerti" dipilih dalam penelitian karena menggambarkan fenomena hilangnya etika masyarakat saat berinteraksi di dunia nyata maupun maya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana Islam menjelaskan perilaku manusia melalui Al-Qur’an dan Hadits serta menganalisis alur cerita, semiotika, dan nilai-nilai dalam film tersebut. Menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif yang melibatkan observasi, dokumentasi, dan studi literatur. Peneliti menemukan dua belas scene yang mengandung semiotika berupa dialog, gerakan tubuh, dan ekspresi. Analisis semiotika berdasarkan teori Charles S. Peirce menunjukkan makna-makna, seperti pada scene pertama menunjukkan makna kegagalan melalui memelintir jari, sementara scene kedua menunjukkan pentingnya melihat langsung kejadian. Kemudian Scene lainnya mengandung makna introspeksi, rasa syukur, serta refleksi tentang kematian dan komunikasi. Adapun nilai-nilai Islam yang terdapat dalam film ini lebih menekankan pada aspek akhlak, dengan akidah dan syariah yang relevan dalam konteks tertentu.

Abstract

This article analyzes young Muslim preachers’ self-presentation in the digital sphere, especially on the Instagram platform. This attempts to answer how and why self-branding has become so prevalent among young Indonesian Muslim preachers on Instagram. Using self-presentation theory, this qualitative study argues that young Muslim preachers’ self-presentation is as strategy to become micro-selebrity in digital sphere. The existence of various features on Instagram makes it easier for preachers to self-expression, self-record, and recognition. Young preachers as Instagram users become micro-celebrity because they always want recognition and to be the center of social interaction. They are actively involved with followers, being the center of attention, active in selfies, inserting jokes, and posting daily activities as strategies to be closer to digital natives. Surprisingly, their posts are not dominated by activities related to religious rituals. On the contrary, the more natural the self-presentation is presented by the young preachers, or the more similar the interests and characters of the audience are, the easier the self-branding will be. This article also theoretically implies that young Muslim preachers are themselves a brand and self-presentation is a form of brand management to become religious micro-celebrities.
