Abstract

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui makna di dalam komik Phoenix atau Hi no Tori melalui perspektif dari tokoh bernama Gao atau Saruta. Komik Phoenix atau Hi no Tori adalah karya yang diciptakan oleh Osamu Tezuka sebanyak 12 jilid yang tidak tamat dikarenakan wafatnya sang pengarang. Di dalam komik, Phoenix adalah makhluk abadi yang dipercaya dapat memberikan keabadian bagi yang meminum darahnya dan dipercaya sebagai solusi atas kekacauan zaman. Setiap jilidnya  cerita dalam komik Phoenix memiliki alur cerita, latar belakang dan tokoh yang berbeda, namun tokoh Saruta selalu muncul kembali. Keberadaan tokoh Saruta di dalam komik dianalisis dengan pendekatan  semiotika Roland Barthes, struktur cerita 3 babak Syd Field dan teknik star system yang digunakan oleh Osamu Tezuka. Melalui penelitian ini tokoh Gao atau Saruta memiliki makna konotasi sebagai manusia yang melampaui batasan zaman dan tidak tergantung kepada solusi absolut (Phoenix) yang dipercaya pada zaman dimana karakter tersebut hidup. Konsep manusia yang melampaui sejalan dengan pemikiran seorang filsuf yaitu Nietzche.

Abstract

Be Prepared is a graphic novel about Vera, the daughter of immigrants from Russia. In her storyline, Vera faces many cultural challenges when dealing with American and other Russian immigrant children. Vera attempts to find identity amidst the differences between the original culture of Russia and the American culture as the country she lived in. The situation between 2 cultures is a challenge for transnational children. This study aims to analyze and see the meaning represented in the graphic novel, especially how transnational children obtain identity and adapt to their environment. The research method used in this research is semiotics and literature review. The semiotic method is used to see the relationship between signs to get the meaning. The semiotic theories used in this research are based on Roland Barthes’s theories. Another method is the literature review which is conducted by overviewing the signs through several published literature to expand the meanings. The base theory used in the literature review is a cultural study that consists of ideas about acculturation, immigration, and cross-cultural theories. From this research, it can be seen that in the comparison of situations of 2 birthday parties, there are expectations in acculturation. The worship scene in the Russian Orthodox church represents immigrant families' coping mechanism for acculturation stress. The signs seen in the graphic novel are also seen in the acculturation stage of Vera's character to gain identity, which can be divided into three stages, namely, the stage of seeking recognition, the stage of imitating, and the stage of integration. Keywords: transnationalism; immigrant; acculturation; graphic novel; sequential arts.
