Abstract

Studies on gender representation in contemporary Indonesian film and series increasingly highlight how female characters challenge traditional norms of femininity. However, depictions of women with masculine traits are still relatively limited, creating a gap in understanding how such identities are constructed through visual and verbal signs in local media. This research discusses the representation of female masculinity in the series Bandelnya Judith by Andi Bachtiar Yusuf using Barthes’ semiotic study. The aim of this research is to describe the form of female masculinity representation through visual and verbal signs found in the series. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis, while data was collected through non-participatory observation technique (SBLC), note-taking technique, and recording technique. The research results show that Judith’s character represents masculinity based on Chafetz’s criteria, namely physical appearance, functional, sexual, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, and personal character. Through Barthes’ semiotic theory, it was found that denotative meaning displays masculine behavior directly, connotation affirms values or views toward visual imagery, while at the myth level there is a shift in social meaning showing social beliefs regarding women’s roles. The emerging myths show that masculine traits are not only possessed by men. This research found six out of seven Chafetz’s masculinity criteria demonstrated by Judith as the main character. This confirms that Judith represents a woman with masculine character who challenges traditional gender stereotypes and presents a new view that masculine traits are not only possessed by one particular gender.

Abstract

Language is one of the important aspects in determining the feasibility of textbooks. This is because language quality determines the effectiveness of textbooks in delivering material. The use of inappropriate language can cause the learning process to become less optimal. As the main learning resource, textbooks need to present language that conforms to linguistic rules. This research aims to describe the language feasibility contained in Indonesian Language textbooks for SMK/MAK class X published by Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud) and Erlangga. The type of approach used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis research method. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques used are documentation and sampling, as well as conducting data analysis with an interactive model. The results of language feasibility research show that both textbooks obtained a very feasible category with a slight percentage difference. The Kemendikbud textbook received a percentage of 94%, while the Erlangga textbook showed a percentage of 92%. Overall, both textbooks show findings that are in accordance with the assessment indicators. Thus, this study is expented to be beneficial for teacher and students in using textbooks according to their needs. The findings may also contribute to the development of higher-quality textbooks in the future.
