Abstract

This research aim to analyse the representation of gender transformation in Rebekah Fortune’s film Just Charlie through a semiotic approach. Utilizing Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory and supported by Judith Butler’s concept of gender performativity, this research analyzes the verbal and non-verbal signs that signify the main character Charlie Lyndsay’s journey as a transgender individual. The analysis focuses on visual elements such as clothing, gestures, and intimate moments, as well as verbal expressions that reveal the character’s inner struggles and journey toward self-discovery. The findings reveal that Just Charlie deconstructs traditional binary notions of masculinity and femininity by portraying gender as a fluid and performative construct. Key visual and verbal elements in the film challenge societal norms and highlight the tension between societal expectations and personal authenticity. This research contributes to discussions on transgender representation in media, offering insights into how semiotic tools in film can foster greater awareness and understanding of diverse gender identities.Keywords: Gender transformation, Semiotics, Gender performativity, Just Charlie

Abstract

This research is titled “Subliminal Message of Nazism Ideology in Comedy-Satire Film JoJo Rabbit.” Using a qualitative approach and semiotic analysis method, this study reveals how the elements of the film subtly convey Nazism ideology through its narrative, characters, and visual symbols. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data of this study was carried out through direct interviews with viewers who had watched the film "Jojo Rabbit." These interviews were conducted over approximately three days, where respondents were asked to provide their views and interpretations regarding the film's elements related to Nazism ideology. The data obtained from these interviews were analyzed using semiotic theory to identify and interpret the signs and symbols present in the film. Additionally, relevant literature references were used to enrich the analysis and provide historical and theoretical context. The results of the study indicate that although "Jojo Rabbit" is packaged in the comedy-satire genre, the film effectively communicates criticism of Nazism ideology. The use of humor and irony in this film not only entertains but also invites viewers to reflect on the dangers and absurdities of the ideology. This research contributes to the understanding of how films can be used as a tool to convey ideological messages in a subtle and profound way. It is hoped that this research can provide new insights for readers and other researchers in the field of film and communication studies.Keywords: Subliminal Message; Nazism Ideology; Comedy-Satire Film
