Abstract

This study examined the hostile cues in the Avengers: Endgame film. The semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce is used in the debate. It focused on two problem formulations: the type of semiotic sign by highlighting the hostile sign present in the film, and the sign's meaning. Aims of this study was to identify the various hostile semiotic cues present in the film as well as how a film communicates a message that can be applied to daily life. Then, it has significant ideals that can inspire and make reference to societal reality. The study examines a variety of materials, including interview transcripts, social science texts, and narrative-style films, television shows, and periodicals. It does this using a qualitative research methodology called content analysis. In order to be interpreted afterwards, hostile cues from the actors are gathered and grouped. The findings demonstrate that when the Avengers are prepared to make sacrifices in order to battle and defend the universe in order to defeat evil, indicators of animosity are visible. Keywords: semiotics, sign, meaning, hostility, movie

Abstract

ABSTRACT The study aimed to examine icons, indices, and symbols in Daud's speech connected to misconceptions about Islam through the semiosis method. Semiotics can be used in a variety of contexts. therefore, it is crucial to conduct study in this area to prevent misconceptions about Islam. The study has two issues: (1) the semiotic indicators in Daud Kim's vlog that are connected to misinterpretations of Islamophobic messaging (2) Daud Kim's vlog discusses misinterpreting messages about Islam's semiosis process. In order to reply to and examine the problems, Peirce's theory of triadic relation was used which illustrates the relationship between the represent, object, and interpretation in semiotics. The description of the semiosis process and how it relates to how the indicators should be interpreted were made evident in this study using the qualitative technique. The research's semiosis process: Every statement—verbal or nonverbal—began as a representamen, progressed to an object as the first point at that statement, and—from the relationship between representamen and object—became the interpretant in the end. As a consequence, the study discovered that Daud's statement can be strengthened by the semiosis process in order to avoid and clarify the mistaken message about Islam. It is possible to understand as far as feasible, the essence of the Islamic message through representation, object, and interpreter. Keywords: semiosis, Daud Kim, icon, index, and symbol

Abstract

This paper employs one strand of Critical Discourse Analysis as a framework to discuss a discourse of political figures. It is a speech delivered by Barack Obama with regard to the issue of 46th president election in 2020 between Trump and Biden. That approach is van Dijk’s (1993) social cognition theory that is focused on the elements of social cognition contained in the speech. In line with Memon, et al. (2014) findings on analyzing Benazir Bhutto’s last speech, there are nine elements of social cognition. Meanwhile, the findings of current study show that there are three social cognition elements in the speech. They are social attachment, mind control, and glorification. In conclusion, social cognition can explore mental awareness of the scenario writer which then forms the text. Keywords: critical discourse analysis, social cognition, speech

Abstract

The aim of this research was to compare two movies that contain similar perceptions of psychological impact on war, disappointment and regret, from Dunkirk and 1917 movies. Disappointment and regretting arise between British soldiers in movies that were directed by Christopher Nolan and Sam Mendes, which coincidentally both of these films raised the setting in World War I and II. Therefore, this research uses literary criticism and comparative literature methods in examining Dunkirk (2017) and 1917 (2019), to produce both similarities and differences in the psychological and emotional impact on British soldiers. In addition, this research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach using Peirce’s sign semiotic analysis. The result of this research is that readers will be able to recognize the differences between the two movies from literary perspective and psychological review from the failures of war in Dunkirk (2017) and 1917 (2019). These two films ultimately interpret disappointment in almost the same way and regret in the form of the loss of a loved one.
