Abstract

The phenomenon of speech delay in early childhood in Indonesia is increasingly prevalent, with estimates ranging from 5% to 8% among preschool-aged children, according to the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IDAI). One environmental factor under scrutiny is children's exposure to non-dialogue animated films, which are widely broadcast on Indonesian television, such as Larva, Shaun the Sheep, and Masha and the Bear. These shows rely heavily on visual storytelling and character expressions without spoken dialogue, raising concerns about their impact on children's language development. This study aims to analyze how children aged 3 to 8 interpret non-dialogue animated films through a visual semiotic lens. Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory is employed to examine the denotative and connotative meanings of visual signs, while Charles Sanders Peirce’s model is used to classify signs into icons, indices, and symbols. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes visual texts and observes children's interpretive responses. The findings indicate that although children can grasp basic narrative messages through visual cues, the absence of verbal language input may hinder vocabulary growth and expressive language development, particularly in the absence of adult interaction. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between non-verbal media consumption and the risk of speech delay in early childhood in Indonesia.   Abstrak Fenomena keterlambatan bicara pada anak usia dini di Indonesia semakin lazim, dengan perkiraan berkisar antara 5% hingga 8% di antara anak-anak usia prasekolah, menurut Ikatan Dokter Anak Indonesia (IDAI). Salah satu faktor lingkungan yang diteliti adalah paparan anak-anak terhadap film animasi non-dialog, yang disiarkan secara luas di televisi Indonesia, seperti Larva, Shaun the Sheep, dan Masha and the Bear. Acara-acara ini sangat bergantung pada penceritaan visual dan ekspresi karakter tanpa dialog lisan, menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang dampaknya terhadap perkembangan bahasa anak-anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana anak-anak berusia 3 hingga 8 tahun menafsirkan film animasi non-dialog melalui perspektif semiotik visual. Teori semiotik Roland Barthes digunakan untuk memeriksa makna denotatif dan konotatif dari tanda-tanda visual, sementara semiotic Charles Sanders Peirce digunakan untuk mengklasifikasikan tanda-tanda menjadi ikon, indeks, dan simbol. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini menganalisis teks-teks visual dan mengamati respons interpretatif anak-anak. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun anak-anak dapat memahami pesan naratif dasar melalui isyarat visual, kurangnya bahasa verbal dapat menghambat perkembangan kosakata dan bahasa ekspresif, terutama jika tidak ada interaksi dengan orang dewasa. Studi ini berkontribusi pada pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang hubungan antara konsumsi media non-verbal dan risiko keterlambatan bicara pada anak usia dini di Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates how cinematography, informed by the female gaze, functions as a medium for articulating women's trauma in the context of domestic violence, as exemplified by the short film WATI. The research utilizes a practice-based methodology, positioning the film creation process as the primary data source. The analysis centers on key still photographs, applying a descriptive-reflective approach to examine framing, lighting, blocking, and body gestures. Findings reveal that extended close-ups and asymmetrical framing foreground Wati’s body as a locus of internal experience, while low-key and underlighting accentuate the psychological dimensions of trauma. Restrictive domestic compositions and passive gestures, such as silent submission, subtly communicate resistance. The faint smile in the after-credit scene operates as a mask of trauma, inviting viewers to engage with the character’s internal wounds. Collectively, WATI advances the discourse on the female gaze by rejecting objectification and presenting the female body as a site of tension among wounds, resignation, and defiance.

Abstract

Dance learning in high schools is dominated by conventional methods of memorizing movements, while critical thinking and art appreciation aspects are less considered. This study aims to analyze the needs and design a prototype of an interactive learning video based on Indonesian traditional dance to improve students' critical thinking skills and dance appreciation. Using Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model in the initial stage (Analyze and Design). Data were collected through observation, teacher interviews, student questionnaires, and a pretest administered to 36 grade 10 students in public high schools in Jakarta. The needs analysis revealed that teachers primarily used PowerPoint, resulting in students being passive and struggling to understand the meaning of dance symbols. The student questionnaire confirmed that most preferred visual and interactive learning media to help understand cultural symbols in dance. The pretest results also showed that students had low initial abilities in interpreting the meanings of movements, symbols, and aesthetic elements of dance. Based on these findings, an interactive learning video was designed to serve as the primary contextual and interactive learning medium, integrating critical thinking and appreciation skills in dance education for high schools.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji strategi pemertahanan kelompok kesenian rudat Temu Karya di Lombok Timur di tengah tantangan modernisasi. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan teori sistem autopoietic Niklas Luhmann, studi ini menganalisis adaptasi kelompok rudat Temu Karya atas perubahan lingkungan sosial dan teknologi.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan empat strategi utama kelompok Temu Karya yakni: (1) modernisasi peralatan panggung, (2) pemanfaatan media digital (Youtube dan Facebook) untuk perluasan audiens, (3) fleksibilitas pertunjukan dengan menyesuaikan konten (cerita/humor) berdasarkan lokasi, dan (4) kolaborasi dengan kelompok rudat lain dalam pertukaran sumber daya. Tantangan seperti penurunan minat generasi muda diatasi dengan pergeseran citra atau rebranding melalui media sosial. Temuan ini memberikan kontibusi temuan mengenai ketahanan kesenian tradisional rudat berupa adaptasi sistemik. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan integrasi teknologi dan strategi komunikasi modern untuk pemertahanan drama tradisional.    Abtract This study examined the preservation strategies of the Temu Karya rudat art group in East Lombok amidst the challenges of modernization. Using a qualitative approach and Niklas Luhmann’s autopoietic systems theory, this study analyzed how the Temu Karya rudat group adapted to changes in the social and technological environment. The findings revealed four key strategies employed by the Temu Karya group: (1) modernizing stage equipment, (2) utilizing digital media (YouTube and Facebook) to expand their audience reach, (3) adapting performance content (stories/humor) based on location for flexibility, and (4) collaborating with other rudat groups to exchange resources. Challenges such as declining interest among the younger generation were addressed through image rebranding via social media. These findings contributed to the resilience of traditional rudat art through systemic adaptation. The study recommended the integration of technology and modern communication strategies for the preservation of traditional performing arts.
