Abstract

This research discusses semiotic analysis of political posters in the 2024 Indonesian Presidential Campaign. This research aims to identify and analyze icons, index, and symbols and find the meaning of their interpretation contained in the poster. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method using the semiotics theory proposed by Charles Sanders Pierce. In this research, the author first selected five posters from each candidate via the internet. Then, the author describes and analyzes the meaning of each sign on the political poster using Pierce's triangle. In this research, the author found the use of 18 icons in 15 data, 41 indexes and 48 symbols. The poster's use of color, layout, and text provide clues about the emotion it is trying to convey to voters, whether it is optimism, confidence, or a call for change. The results of these findings show that symbol signs are the type of sign that the authors found most often in this research.

Abstract

Freely to express opinions is one of the reasons netizens use social media as a forum for expressing themselves. Through the comment’s column, netizens on TikTok use elements of satirical language to criticize, satirize Megawati with a sense of humor using polite and even vulgar language. The aim of this research is to discuss the satirical interpretation of people's comments on TikTok towards Megawati. The data was taken from 50 netizen comments on the official TikTok account Inilah.com. The results of this study show that there are three types of satire used by netizens to criticize Megawati, namely Horatian Satire, Juvenalian Satire and Manippean Satire, and netizens use Horatian satire as the dominant type with a percentage of 58% of all data analysis. In clarifying the data, the writer uses descriptive qualitative research with analytical description method. The data were analyzed using Harmon and Holman's theory. For practical purposes, it is hoped that the results of this research can become a new model for the study of satire. Theoretically, satire is not only used on social media but also elsewhere as a way for people to express their opinion about a subject and show that people are wiser in using their language for a particular purpose.
