Abstract

This article analyzes the representation of Islamic culture in the documentary film Islam: Empire of Faith using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The film provides a historical overview of Islamic civilization, from its birth to its heyday, including its contributions to art, architecture, science, and politics. By applying Barthes' concepts of denotation, connotation, and myth, this study reveals how visual and narrative signs in the film construct the representation of Islamic culture in the eyes of the audience. This analysis shows that the film constructs an idealistic narrative about the splendor and glory of Islamic civilization but also carries an ideological bias that reinforces Western myths about the Islamic world, such as the image of Islam as backward and exclusive. This research is important to understand how the media shapes cultural images and religious identities and its implications for intercultural understanding. Using Barthes' semiotic approach, this study reveals how the media constructs myths that can influence the audience's perspective on Islamic culture, reinforce stereotypes, or even pave the way for more complex understandings. On the one hand, this film has the potential to introduce the beauty and richness of Islamic history. However, on the other hand, it also reflects certain ways of presenting narratives that could worsen or strengthen the distortion in the relationship between the West and Islam.

Abstract

This study examines how political disaster narratives are constructed and contested in YouTube content criticizing elite responses during the Sumatra flood crisis at the end of 2025. Employing a qualitative approach, the research integrates Critical Discourse Analysis with Entman’s framing model to analyze verbal, visual, and intertextual elements in selected YouTube videos that explicitly address government preparedness, elite political imagery, defensive responses, and structural–technical explanations of disaster causality. The analysis is based on a purposively selected dataset of high-engagement YouTube videos published in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, drawn from news programs and political commentary channels that consistently engage with elite criticism. The analytical scope focuses on narrative structure, visual juxtaposition, rhetorical strategies, and moral evaluations embedded in disaster-related political communication. The findings reveal four dominant framing patterns: government unpreparedness, the symbolic imagery of political elites, responsive versus unresponsive elite positioning, and technical–structural framing of disaster causes. Beyond identifying these patterns, the study demonstrates how YouTube reallocates framing authority from state-centered actors and mainstream journalism to non-state digital actors, enabling disaster narratives to function as mechanisms of political delegitimization in digital public spaces. Theoretically, this study contributes to disaster framing and political communication literature by positioning YouTube as an autonomous political actor that reshapes crisis communication dynamics, blurs the boundary between journalism and activism, and redistributes symbolic power during humanitarian emergencies. The findings underscore that contemporary disasters are not only humanitarian crises but also digitally mediated political battlegrounds that actively shape public trust, elite legitimacy, and democratic accountability.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas praktik penjualan tiket pertandingan sepak bola Persib Bandung melalui skema early bird. Skema ini menawarkan harga lebih murah bagi konsumen yang membeli tiket lebih awal dari jadwal pertandingan. Skema ini selain menjadi strategi pemasaran modern juga menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang kesesuaiannya dengan hukum ekonomi syariah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis praktik penjualan tiket Persib Bandung dengan skema early bird dalam perspektif hukum ekonomi syariah. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif studi kasus dengan pendekatan yuridis empiris, di mana data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan konsumen pembeli tiket, sedangkan data sekunder berasal dari berbagai literatur. Adapun analisis data dilakukan dengan tiga teknik yaitu, reduksi data, sajian data dan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik early bird pada dasarnya sesuai dengan prinsip jual beli dalam Islam karena objek akad, harga, dan proses transaksi telah jelas, serta ijab kabul terwujud melalui sistem digital. Namun demikian, masih terdapat potensi gharar pada distribusi tiket yang terbatas dan risiko perubahan jadwal pertandingan. Oleh karena itu, pentingnya peningkatan transparansi informasi, mekanisme kompensasi yang adil, serta penerapan regulasi penjualan tiket digital berbasis syariah. Dengan demikian, praktik ini tidak hanya dapat memperkuat kepercayaan konsumen dan loyalitas penonton, tetapi juga memastikan transaksi berlangsung adil, aman, dan membawa keberkahan serta sesuai dengan prinsip syariah.
