Abstract

This study examines the messages of hope expressed by Syrian child victims of war in the music video Daqat al-Qalb (Heartbeat) composed by Zade Dirani in collaboration with UNICEF. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research applies Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic framework to analyze how linguistic and visual signs interact to construct meaning. The analysis focuses on two primary components: (1) signifiers in the Arabic lyrics that articulate pain, fear, emotional struggle, and aspirations for change, and (2) visual symbols such as rubble, white flowers, collective movement, and bright colors that reinforce the thematic representation of hope. The data were obtained through close reading and repeated observation of the video, with additional secondary sources providing contextual support on the Syrian conflict and semiotic theory. The findings reveal five dominant categories of hope represented in the video: the hope to escape suffering and destruction; the desire to eliminate fear; the yearning to be heard and acknowledged by the world; the aspiration to gain strength and rise together; and the vision of rebuilding a brighter, more vibrant life. These categories demonstrate that the children are not merely depicted as passive victims but as active agents articulating their trauma, resilience, and collective dreams. The study contributes to visual-verbal semiotic research by showing how audiovisual media can effectively convey humanitarian messages and represent lived experiences of children in conflict zones. Despite the limitation of using non-official Arabic lyric sources, the findings highlight the power of symbolic interaction in shaping emotional and humanitarian meanings within music videos.

Abstract

This study examines the critique of the representation of marginalized communities in the lyrics of Humood al-Khudher's song "Falasteen biladi" through Gayatri Spivak's postcolonial theoretical framework, particularly the concepts of subalternity and representation. The purpose of this study is to critically analyze the representation of marginalized Palestinian communities. This study uses a qualitative approach with critical textual analysis methods. The research method is a literature review. The main data source is the lyrics of the song Falasteen biladi, both in Arabic and in translation. The secondary data source is Gayatri Spivak's theoretical book, specifically her essay entitled “Can the subaltern speak?” The data collection techniques are documentation, literature study, and contextual research. Data analysis uses three main analytical frameworks, namely Darstellung, Vertretung, and Epistemic Violence. The findings of this study show that the lyrics of this song. The findings show that the lyrics of this song depict Palestine more as an abstract collective subject, thereby ignoring the diversity of individual experiences and the complexity of the social and political realities they face. In addition, there is a dominance of narrative representation over political representation, which tends to reduce the Palestinian struggle to aesthetic symbolism rather than concrete political advocacy. Finally, this song reveals the limitations in expressing authentic subaltern voices, where what stands out is the cultural elite's perspective on marginalized communities. Despite attempting to foster solidarity, this song maintains epistemic silencing, where subalterns remain voiceless due to the dominance of a strong hegemonic narrative. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of critical reflection on the politics of representation in popular cultural productions about marginalized communities.
