Abstract

The study aims to analyze the representation of social class in the film "Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca" using a qualitative approach and Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. The research methodology adopts a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through three main methods: (i) a comprehensive observation of the film to understand its content and nuances; (ii) documentation, where the researcher selected and highlighted images of scenes depicting the representation and social class of Kurawa and Pandawa in the series; and (iii) a literature review of various sources such as theses, journal articles, websites, the internet, and relevant books. The collected data were then analyzed using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The analysis revealed four aspects related to the signs in the film: different lifestyles, differences in attire, unconscious social class boundaries, and class identity influenced by royal lineage. Highlights: Lifestyle: The difference in lifestyle depicts the difference in social class between the Pandavas and the Kuravas. Clothing: Clothes reflect social status and class differences. Lineage: Class identity is linked to royal lineage which affects social status. Keywords: Representation, Roland Barthes, Semiotic, Social Class

Abstract

General Background: Social class representation in films plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions of societal hierarchies. Specific Background: The film Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca integrates cultural narratives of Pandawa and Kurawa, offering a rich medium for exploring class distinctions. Knowledge Gap: Despite the prevalence of social stratification themes in Indonesian cinema, limited studies have examined them through Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework. Aims: This study analyzes the representation of social class in Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca using a descriptive qualitative approach with Barthes’ semiotic theory. Results: Analysis identified four key aspects: lifestyle disparities, differences in attire, implicit social boundaries, and class identity shaped by royal lineage. Novelty: The study extends semiotic analysis to a contemporary Indonesian superhero film, linking visual and narrative signs to socio-cultural constructs of class. Implications: Findings provide insights for media scholars and filmmakers on how cinematic signs reinforce or challenge social stratification, highlighting the role of visual storytelling in cultural discourse. Highlights: Identifies visual and symbolic cues of class in Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca. Connects royal lineage to contemporary class identity in film. Offers a semiotic framework for analyzing Indonesian popular cinema. Keywords: Representation, Roland Barthes, Semiotic, Social Class, Film Analysis
