Abstract

This study investigated the sustainability claims of H&M’s Conscious Exclusive A/W20 campaign, focusing on the potential use of greenwashing strategies. The research addressed the gap between the brand’s eco-friendly image and its actual practices. Using Roland Barthes’ semiotic method, the study examined the visual and verbal signs in the advertisement to uncover their denotative and connotative meanings. The findings revealed that while the campaign promoted environmental responsibility through recycled materials, its messages largely served as marketing tools rather than evidence of genuine sustainable practices. It means that there was a gap between the sustainability claims and actual practices in the campaign. The advertisement falls under the category of Green-washed Commercial Advertising, indicating that H&M’s sustainability narrative might be more symbolic than substantive. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that transparency is essential for brands to avoid misleading consumers and to ensure trust in sustainability efforts.

Abstract

Film is a medium that represents various socio-cultural realities, enabling the visualization and depiction of social issues, one of which is the culture of patriarchy. Patriarchy is a term used to describe a social system where power, control, and authority are primarily in the hands of men or male figures. Patriarchy is a central theme in the film Kartini. Therefore, the aim of this study is to reveal and understand the hidden meanings that depict the visualization of patriarchal culture in the film Kartini. This study employs a qualitative research method, utilizing John Fiske's semiotic analysis approach. The findings of this research indicate that patriarchal culture is visualized through John Fiske's three codes of encoding, including 1) reality, 2) representation, and 3) ideology, demonstrating that patriarchal culture remains influential in affecting women's lives.
