Abstract

Film has the power to deliver messages to a wide audience while also serving as a tool for social criticism. The Platform 2 is one of the works that embeds many critiques of social phenomena occurring in society. This research employs a qualitative approach using Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis method, which emphasizes the study of denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings. The theory applied is Roland Barthes’ semiotics. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the representation of law enforcement and justice is depicted in The Platform 2. Data collection methods include documentation and transcription of dialogues by noting quotes related to law, rules, and justice. The findings reveal that The Platform 2 represents law enforcement and justice as a fragile system, filled with injustice, and easily collapses due to human selfishness. This research is expected to uncover the social myths constructed by dominant systems, as well as to provide new insights into how a film can shape opinion and social awareness, and contribute to understanding how law and justice are represented in The Platform 2. Film memiliki kekuatan untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada khalayak luas sekaligus sebagai alat kritik sosial. Film The Platform 2 menjadi salah satu karya yang di dalamnya banyak menyelipkan kritik terhadap fenomena sosial yang terjadi di masyarakat. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis semiotika Roland Barthes yang menekankan pada kajian makna denotatif, konotatif, dan mitos. Teori yang digunakan adalah semiotika Roland Barthes. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana representasi penegakan hukum dan keadilan dalam film The Platform 2. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan dokumentasi dan transkrip dialog dengan mencatat kutipan dialog yang berkaitan dengan hukum, aturan, dan keadilan. Hasilnya, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa film The Platform 2 merepresentasikan penegakan hukum dan keadilan sebagai sistem yang rapuh, penuh ketidakadilan, dan mudah runtuh karena sifat egois manusia. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat membongkar mitos-mitos sosial yang dibentuk oleh sistem dominan, serta membuka pemahaman baru tentang bagaimana sebuah film dapat membentuk opini dan kesadaran sosial, serta berkontribusi dalam memberikan pemahaman mengenai bagaimana hukum dan keadilan direpresentasikan dalam film The Platform.

Abstract

The development of social media has established memes as a dominant form of digital communication consumed by students. This study aims to analyze the influence of meme content exposure on the social sensitivity and critical thinking abilities of students in Semarang City. Using a positivistic paradigm, this research tests causal relationships based on Uses and Gratifications and Media Exposure theories. The research method utilizes a quantitative approach with a survey of 400 student respondents in Semarang selected through purposive sampling. Primary data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression with IBM SPSS version 27 software. The results show that meme exposure has a positive and significant effect on students' social sensitivity (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05) with a regression coefficient of 0.720 and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.493. Furthermore, meme exposure also has a positive and significant effect on students' critical thinking (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05) with a regression coefficient of 0.531 and an R2 value of 0.281. These findings prove that memes are not merely entertainment media but are digital instruments capable of increasing social awareness and critical mindsets. The researcher recommends that higher education institutions optimize digital literacy so that students can utilize creative content more reflectively and wisely.
