Abstract

This study analyzes the deconstruction of the heroism myth in Puella Magi Madoka Magica through the lens of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Roland Barthes' Mythologies theory. The primary issue addressed in this research is how the series' narrative dismantles the traditional heroism myth commonly associated with the magical girl genre through the character arcs of Sayaka Miki and Kyouko Sakura. The research questions focus on how Lacan’s psychoanalytic stages are reflected in the development of Sayaka and Kyouko, as well as how the myth of heroism in the series is reproduced and deconstructed through Barthes' concept of modern mythology. The aim of this study is to reveal how Puella Magi Madoka Magica critiques the concept of heroism in popular culture and reconstructs existing myths to expose the exploitative system governing magical girls. This research employs a qualitative methodology with a narrative analysis approach, examining key episodes that represent the psychological transformations of the main characters. The findings indicate that Sayaka experiences the collapse of her idealism due to a confrontation with an unforgiving reality, whereas Kyouko undergoes a reconstruction of her worldview that ultimately contradicts her initial beliefs. The series not only deconstructs the heroism myth within the magical girl genre but also portrays how individuals struggle with the disparity between expectations and reality within an oppressive symbolic system.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of Christian symbolism in the film and series Neon Genesis Evangelion through a semiological approach. The research employs a semiotic analysis based on Charles Sanders Peirce's theory. The findings indicate that Neon Genesis Evangelion systematically employs Christian iconography to depict the existential transformation of humanity in an apocalyptic context. The cross, which appears in the explosions following the defeat of each Angel, serves as a marker of divine death while also signifying salvation. The Lance of Longinus, traditionally used in Christian teachings to confirm the death of Jesus on the cross, functions in the series as the primary instrument in the Third Impact event—a reality reconstruction that blurs the boundaries between destruction and re-creation. Additionally, the use of Angel names derived from the Christian angelic hierarchy reinforces the spiritual narrative that intertwines religious mythology with the fictional world-building of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Through this analysis, the study asserts that Christian symbolism in Neon Genesis Evangelion is not merely aesthetic or decorative but constructs a complex dialectic concerning human existence, suffering, and the pursuit of salvation. The series demonstrates how religious symbols can be adapted in popular media to convey broader narratives about the meaning of existence and human destiny within the landscape of contemporary culture.

Abstract

The film Jenderal Soedirman is a cinematic representation that portrays Indonesia's struggle for independence through the perspective of guerrilla warfare. However, the film also highlights the political dilemmas and differing strategies among historical figures, particularly between the paths of diplomacy and armed resistance. This study aims to analyze the narrative structure and the representation of the independence struggle in the film using Klaus Krippendorff’s content analysis approach and Roland Barthes’ semiotics. Through a qualitative method, the research examines how the film constructs meaning through signs and symbols that reinforce the notions of heroism and nationalism. The findings show that the film not only narrates General Soedirman's physical journey in guerrilla warfare but also reveals the ideological battles underlying the fight for independence. The film constructs General Soedirman as a symbol of resilience and morality in the face of colonial domination. The implications of this study affirm that cinema plays a vital role in shaping collective memory and nationalism. Furthermore, this research opens space for further exploration of historical representation in Indonesian cinema and how films can influence public understanding of the nation’s history.

Abstract

The 1998 riots were one of Indonesia's darkest events at the end of the New Order era, the reign of President Soerharto. These riots were caused by the multidimensional crisis around 1997-1998 which culminated in the May 1998 tragedy. The movie "Di Balik 98" dared to raise this riot as the background of a family drama-themed movie. The purpose of this research is to analyze the historical value and family dynamics contained in the film "Di Balik 98". This research uses a qualitative method with a semiotic approach which is described through 3 aspects namely sign, object, and interpretant. The results of this study show that the film "Di Balik 98" is successful in depicting history, this is evidenced by the analysis of the depiction of the Trisakti Tragedy, looting, arson, and ethnic Chinese discrimination. Soeharto's resignation is the culmination of the movie and the answer to the tragedy that occurred. Giving 3 points of view in the movie successfully gave the audience how the depiction of 3 families with their respective dynamics went through the 1998 tragedy. The implications of this research include an indepth understanding of Indonesian history, family dynamics in facing socio-political crises, as well as reflections on social change and its impact on people's daily lives.

Abstract

In an evolution of cinematography, the depiction of food in film serves not only as a visual element but also as a means of conveying artistic messages. This research aims to comprehend how Gina S. Noer, an Indonesian filmmaker, imbues meaning into the depiction of food in her works. Through an analysis of her films, including “Dua Garis Biru” and “Like and Share” this study explores various semiotic analysis employed by Noer to communicate the underlying significance of food imagery. The study utilizes film analysis and semiotics to interpret the use of food as symbols and metaphors within the context of the stories presented by Gina S. Noer. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the use of food imagery in a cinematic context, particularly within the works of Gina S. Noer. These insights may serve as a foundation for further exploration into how visual elements such as food can enhance the audience experience and deepen the narrative significance in the context of Indonesian cinema.
