Abstract

This study utilizes Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic framework, concentrating on the interpretation of signifiers associated with plastic surgery. A particular emphasis is placed on the "Male Rhinoplasty" page as a case study, where icons, indexes, and symbols embedded in both images and texts are scrutinized across different sections of the website. Employing a qualitative approach, the study involves meticulous analysis of ten images extracted from the "Male Plastic Surgery" page. Among these, the study identifies 13 icons, 12 indexes, and 18 symbols, all of which serve as visual cues to not only enrich user experience but also evoke emotional responses that engage potential patients. The implications of these findings underscore the comprehensive communication strategy employed by ID Hospital's website. By adeptly incorporating Peirce's semiotic principles, the website constructs a multifaceted narrative concerning male rhinoplasty that is both visually captivating and emotionally resonant. This research not only sheds light on the semiotic complexities within the realm of plastic surgery communication but also provides insights into how websites can effectively employ visual and textual elements to convey intricate messages.

Abstract

This study employs a qualitative research design to examine the representation of masculinity in the film "Padman" through a semiotic analysis. Utilizing Barthes' semiotic framework, the research explores how denotative, connotative, and mythic elements construct the character of Lakshminkant, played by Akshay Kumar. The analysis reveals that Lakshminkant embodies a form of masculinity that diverges from traditional portrayals, emphasizing empathy, resilience, and innovation over physical strength and aggression. Visual cues such as his traditional attire and confident yet humble body language, alongside his engagement in physical labor, highlight his connection to rural roots and industrious nature. His focus on menstrual hygiene, a taboo subject in many parts of India, challenges patriarchal norms and promotes gender equality. The study finds that Lakshminkant's character redefines heroism by aligning it with perseverance, moral courage, and social innovation. This redefinition challenges hegemonic masculinity and offers a progressive model of manhood that values emotional and social intelligence. Additionally, the film's portrayal of Lakshminkant as a benevolent innovator underscores the potential of individuals to drive social change, suggesting that modernity can coexist with traditional values. Theoretical application of Barthes' semiotic framework proved effective in uncovering the layers of meaning within the film, providing a comprehensive understanding of its portrayal of masculinity. This research contributes to the discourse on gender roles in Indian cinema and highlights the importance of inclusive representations in promoting societal change.
