Abstract

This study conducts a semiotic analysis of the signs embedded in Tingkuluak Koto Gadang, a traditional headpiece worn by Minangkabau women in Indonesia. Employing Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic model of semiotics, the research examines how motifs, colors, and ornaments function as signs to convey cultural meanings. The qualitative case study approach involved direct observation, visual documentation, and interviews with cultural experts to identify and interpret the semiotic elements in Tingkuluak Koto Gadang. The analysis revealed ten signs categorized into six types: Sinsign, Legisign, Icon, Index, Symbol, and Decisign. Among these, Icon and Decisign were the most dominant, with three occurrences each. For instance, the color red and gold serve as Icons, symbolizing courage and prosperity, while floral motifs like Bunga and Akar Daun function as Decisigns, representing harmony and resilience. Other signs, such as the Padi motif (Symbol) and Rumbai Kotak (Index), reflect agricultural heritage and structured societal values, respectively. The findings underscore that Tingkuluak Koto Gadang is not merely decorative but a rich semiotic system encoding Minangkabau identity, social norms, and philosophical values. However, the study highlights a growing disconnect among younger generations, who increasingly perceive these garments as aesthetic rather than symbolic. This research contributes to cultural preservation by decoding the hidden meanings of traditional attire, emphasizing the need for educational initiatives to sustain this intangible heritage. It also demonstrates the efficacy of Peirce’s semiotic framework in analyzing non-verbal cultural texts, offering a model for future studies on traditional clothing and material culture

Abstract

This study examines the construction of women's education and empowerment in the novel No Better Time through the analysis of feminist critical discourse with Fairclough’s three-dimensional model. The aim of the study was to analyze how educational discourse is constructed as a site of resistance and agency for African American women in the face of gender- and race-based intersectional oppression. The research method uses an interpretive qualitative approach, with data in the form of discursive episodes that represent access to knowledge, formal and informal learning, and agency actions. The analysis was carried out at three levels: textual (lexical choices, modalities, representational strategies), discursive (production, distribution, consumption of discourse), and sociocultural (patriarchal context, racism, militarism). The results showed five main thematic categories: epistemic discrimination (18 emergences), resistance through literacy (24), collective solidarity (21), institutional exclusion (15), and agency and leadership (27). The identified typologies of feminist discourse include liberal, socialist, and radical currents, which are integrated into the narrative. From a psychological perspective, the findings reveal the psychological impact of persistent marginalization on the formation of women's identities, as well as the role of collective solidarity as a psychological resource that restores and empowers. This study concludes that education in the novel is not limited to formal instruction, but rather includes experiential and communal learning that enables women to develop critical awareness, build psychological resilience, and collectively challenge patriarchal and racial structures toward structural transformation and epistemic justice. Keywords: african american literature, empowerment, feminist critical discourse analysis, intersectionality, psychology, resistance, women's education
