REPRESENTATION OF RELIGIOUS AND FEMINIST ISSUES IN THE SOCIAL LANDSCAPE OF THE FILM “TUHAN IZINKAN AKU BERDOSA”
Downloads
This study aims to analyzes the representation of religious and feminist issues in the social landscape narrated in the film “Tuhan, Izinkan Aku Berdosa. This film is an interesting object of study because it raises sensitive and relevant social issues in Indonesian society. This study uses a qualitative approach with combination analysis methods of Barthes' semiotics and intersectional feminism. The results show that there is a meaning shift from the signs attached to Kiran, from symbols of poverty, obedience, resignation, and purity to become symbols of strength, courage, resistance, and empowerment. Kiran’s oppression is not solely due to gender, but also due to intersection of class-based oppression, power, and religious dogma. Kiran's acts of resistance, using her body as a resistance strategy, her actions as control, and her voice as empowerment to expose the elite’s hypocrisy, become a powerful social critique. This film also builds a new myth that women's empowerment is formed from their ability to transform trauma into strength to fight against layered systems of oppression. The novelty of this finding lies in in-depth analysis of intersecting two complex power dynamics, which interact, collide, and engage in dialectics on social landscapes.
