Abstract

This study investigates the representation of religious values in Panji Sakti’s song “TanpaAku” as a contemporary manifesting of spiritual expression within popular media. Employing a qualitiative approach, the research utilizes Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework to analyze denotative and connotative meanings in the lyrics, and Stuart Hall’s theory of representation to examine how religious meanings are encoded by the creator and decoded by audiences. The analysis reveals that the song articulates core Islamic spiritual themes such as surrender to the Divine, the dissolution of ego, spiritual longing (mahabbah), and the human journey toward transcendence. These meanings are communicated through symbolic diction, metaphors, and acoustic aesthetics that enable a reflective, non-dogmatic mode of religious communication. Audience reception on digital platforms demonstrates predominantly dominant-hegemonic readings, indicating alighnment between the intended spiritual message and public interpretation. The findings affirm that popular music can function as an effective medium of contemporary dakwah, illustrating the mediatisation of religion whereby spiritual discourse is recontextualized through culture and digital forms. This study contributes to the understanding of how religious meaning is produced, represented, and internalized within the ecology of modern media.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the phenomenon of digital discourse on platform X in the Amsal Sitepu case through the lens of Jürgen Habermas's Public Sphere theory. The criminalization of videographer Amsal Sitepu triggered massive debates that blurred the boundaries between rational-critical dialogue and emotional conflict arenas in cyberspace. Using a descriptive qualitative method and a critical discourse analysis approach, this study explores how platform X functions as a contemporary public sphere. The results show that although digital platforms are often trapped in opinion fragmentation, particularism, and affective conflict, the Amsal Sitepu case proves the existence of emancipatory potential through the "communicative power" of civil society. Organized public opinion pressure on social media proved capable of demanding institutional accountability and correcting the dominance of administrative power. This study concludes that social media can become an effective public sphere if the established discourse is able to transform from mere sentiment into logical and measured arguments.
