Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of feminism in Gadis Kretek episode 2, focusing on how women are depicted through narrative, visuals, and dialogue. This study also explores whether female characters have full agency or are subject to the male gaze, and how social, cultural, and class factors influence these representations. In addition, this study compares the representation of feminism in Gadis Kretek with other films or series in Indonesia, and assesses its impact on audience perceptions of feminism and the role of women in Indonesia. The method used in this study is John Fiske's semiotic approach, which focuses on the analysis of signs in media texts, both in narrative and visual aspects. This method is integrated with feminist theory, especially the concept of the "male gaze" from Laura Mulvey and intersectionality from bell hooks. This approach allows researchers to uncover the meaning behind the representation of women in the series and how gender power dynamics are played out. The conclusion of this study shows that Gadis Kretek represents feminism through a process of negotiation between patriarchal norms and women's resistance. The female characters in this series have power and agency, but remain bound by a patriarchal social system. In addition, class and cultural factors influence this representation, where women from different social backgrounds experience feminism in different ways. The series influences the audience's perception of feminism by providing a realistic depiction of women's roles in Indonesia's patriarchal society.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of feminism and gender power relations in Kretek Girl series episode 2 through a semiotic and feminist theoretical framework. Using John Fiske’s semiotic analysis combined with Laura Mulvey’s concept of the “male gaze” and bell hooks’ intersectionality theory, this research examines how female characters are portrayed in relation to patriarchy, class, and cultural context. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach focusing on narrative structure, visual elements, dialogue, and character representation to uncover how signs construct feminist meanings within the story. The findings reveal that Kretek Girl presents a nuanced depiction of feminism, characterized by a tension between women’s resistance and patriarchal dominance. Female characters demonstrate agency and empowerment, yet remain constrained by social norms that reinforce gender hierarchies. The semiotic analysis highlights how visual and narrative codes—such as costume, body movement, and camera framing—reflect both subordination and subtle defiance against male-centered perspectives. Furthermore, intersectional aspects of class and culture shape different experiences of womanhood, emphasizing that feminism in Indonesian media operates through negotiation rather than confrontation. The study concludes that Kretek Girl contributes to the evolving discourse of feminist representation in Indonesian cinema by portraying women’s empowerment as a complex, layered process within a patriarchal society.
