Abstract

Media, especially films, have an important role in the construction of people with disabilities. This research examines Tyrion Lannister as a person with a disability represented and constructed in the Game of Thrones series. Tyrion Lannister is interesting because he is the only character born with a disability. This condition differs from others with perfect physical conditions in real life. In this series, Tyrion Lannister shows the body as a social sign. He is represented as a realistic and complex character, not inspiring, not evil, or selling mercy, as the portrayal often used by the media in portraying people with disability. This research uses a qualitative approach with a multimodal critical discourse analysis methodology by Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen. The data is based on seasons and episodes of the Game of Thrones, which relate to Tyrion Lannister as people with a disability, literature study, and documentation. The research found that the representation of Tyrion Lannister is realistic and complex, showing the prejudice and social stigma he has received as a person with a dwarf body.

Abstract

Abstrak. Studi ini berupaya untuk menganalisis representasi seksualitas dan budaya Jawa dalam poster film “Gowok: Kamasutra Jawa” menggunakan pendekatan semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce. Poster film, sebagai teks visual, tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai alat promosi, tetapi juga sebagai cara untuk mengkonstruksi makna. Metode studi yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif yakni dengan melakukan observasi terhadap elemen visual dan tekstual ke dalam tiga kategori semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce yaitu ikon, indeks, dan simbol. Dalam melihat makna, studi juga menggunakan triangulasi teori dengan mengaitkan semiotika pada teori representasi Stuart Hall dan studi budaya Jawa. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa poster ini secara aktif mengkomodifikasi seksualitas dalam konteks budaya Jawa dengan memadukan unsur tradisi ”Gowok” dengan erotisme Kamasutra sebagai daya jual. Elemen visual, seperti punggung perempuan yang terbuka dan tulisan "Uncut Version 21+", dilihat sebagai upaya mengeksploitasi sensualitas sebagai strategi pemasaran. Dengan demikian, poster ini secara aktif berpotensi menyederhanakan makna ”Gowok” yang kompleks dan menempatkannya dalam bingkai komersialisasi. Abstract. This study attempts to analyze the representation of sexuality and Javanese culture in the movie poster for "Gowok: Kamasutra Jawa" using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic approach. The movie poster, as a visual text, serves not only as a promotional tool but also as a way to construct meaning. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method, which involves observing the visual and textual elements and classifying them into Peirce's three categories: icon, index, and symbol. To interpret the meaning, this study also uses theoretical triangulation by linking semiotics to Stuart Hall's theory of representation and Javanese cultural studies. The research findings indicate that this poster actively commodifies sexuality within the context of Javanese culture by combining elements of the Gowok tradition with Kamasutra eroticism as a selling point. Visual elements, such as the woman's open back and the text "Uncut Version 21+", are seen as an attempt to exploit sensuality as a marketing strategy. Thus, this poster has the potential to actively simplify the complex meaning of Gowok and place it within a commercial framework.
