Abstract

This study analyzes the character of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer through Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis approach. Using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory, this study explores the dynamics between the id, ego, and superego in J. Robert Oppenheimer, as well as the conflicts experienced by J. Robert Oppenheimer. The researcher analyzed these theories with a descriptive qualitative approach using the methods of narrative text study and film discourse analysis. The results show that J. Robert Oppenheimer's internal and external conflicts do not only reflect personal struggles, but also include broader themes of scientific ethics and the impact of technology on humanity. The research also identifies that J. Robert Oppenheimer's personality dynamics are complex and reflect the tension between personal ambition, moral responsibility, and social pressure. The interaction between the id, ego, and superego created deep conflict both internally and externally, influencing his decisions, behaviour, and mental health.

Gestures are nonverbal movements with the aim of communicating. The bond between semiotics and gestures here is to be able to understand the meaning of these nonverbal movements so that communication can be smoother. This research uses Mcneill's theory (2005) to find out what types of gestures will be in the nonverbal scenes in the movie “The Silence”. And also this research uses the triadic triangle theory in Charles Sanders Peirce's theory to determine the meaning or meaning of the movements that appear in the scene in the movie.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the semiotics of hate speech in social media instagram using the theory of Ferdinand de Saussure (1900) and Charles Sanders Peirce (1900). Semiotics is the study of signs or an epistemology about the existence or actuality of signs in society. This study aims to analyze and describe some netizens who utter hate speech that should not be released on social media instagram in the comments column of the personal account that is the object of the research. Based on the findings above, we found 5 types of hate speech that are in accordance with the theory expressed by Ferdinand de Saussure(1900) and Peirce (1900). 2 examples of hate speech used by netizens expressed by Ferdinand de Saussure include Signifier, and Signified, and 3 hate speech used by netizens expressed by Peirce include Index, Icon, and Symbols. In this study, we used descriptive qualitative research methods where this research uses naturalistic data, which is one of its main characteristics. The results of this thesis prove that based on the result of the above analysis, most netizens comment using symbolic hate speech. Specifically, a symbol is something that can stand for concepts, ideas, and items that are used as references. Less people use markers for hate speech thus a symbol can be any action, gesture, picture, sound, pattern, or occasion that communicates and transmits meaning on social media platforms like Instagram.
