Abstract

This research aims to identify, describe, and understand the representation of Balinese culture and customs in the film A Perfect Fit (2021), directed by Hadrah Daeng Ratu, through Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. This descriptive-analytical qualitative study examines audio-visual signs at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth to reveal implicit meanings and ideologies represented by the characters in negotiating tradition and modernity. Primary data were obtained from observations of Balinese cultural scene patterns, while secondary data came from relevant academic literature. The results show that at the denotative level, Balinese culture is presented through visual symbols such as gebogan, lontar paweton, Payas Agung attire, the Mebuug-buugan tradition, and gamelan music. At the connotative level, these elements mark values of sacredness, harmony, self-purification, and cultural identity. At the myth level, the film reproduces the idea that Balinese culture and spirituality are adaptive, harmonious, and remain prioritized amid modern urban living. The study concludes that transnational film media functions as a space for meaning construction that affirms the sustainability of Balinese tradition in the global digital era.

Abstract

Students from underprivileged communities often face limited access to quality education and basic literacy, affecting their competencies and self-confidence. This community service activity aimed to develop students’ competence and confidence through a multidisciplinary approach integrating legal, communication, economic, digital, and health literacy at Integrated People’s School 1 Sumedang. The activity employed participatory training involving lecturers from the Faculties of Law, Communication Sciences, Economics and Business, and Health Sciences at Esa Unggul University, in collaboration with the school. The program consisted of preparation, five cross-disciplinary learning modules, and evaluation. The modules addressed children’s rights and obligations, public speaking and assertive communication, personal financial management and basic entrepreneurship, safe technology use, and healthy living behaviors through practical discussions, simulations, and age-appropriate educational activities for all participants. The results indicated improvements in students’ understanding of these literacy areas and greater confidence in expressing opinions and interacting socially. The integrated approach helped students recognize connections among aspects of everyday life. Continued mentoring and stronger university-school partnerships are recommended to sustain similar community service programs.
