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 analyzes the use of defense mechanisms by Otto Anderson, the main character in the film A Man Called Otto (2022), following the loss of his wife and his struggle to cope with grief and isolation. The focus is on how Otto’s behaviors reflect unconscious strategies used to manage emotional pain. The research applies Anna Freud’s theory of ego defense mechanisms, which identifies unconscious processes that protect individuals from psychological distress. These include denial, repression and the gradual emergence of emotional awareness known as realization. The study uses a Psychological Approach, with data collected through scene observation, dialogue analysis, and film script review. Key scenes were identified and categorized according to Anna Freud’s defense mechanism classifications. The findings reveal that Otto frequently uses denial and repression to avoid discussing or confronting his grief. He rejects help, isolates himself, and avoids emotional topics related to his late wife. Over time, through his connection with a new neighbor, he gradually begins to express care and rebuilds his relationship with life. This shift illustrates that while defense mechanisms initially shield Otto from emotional breakdown, they also prevent him from healing. It is through persistent human connection that Otto slowly moves toward acceptance. The film demonstrates that ego defenses can delay grief processing, but empathy and social support are essential for emotional recovery.
