Concept (間) MA: Philosophical Identification and Analysis in Animated Films Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)
Full text linkIn the context of Japanese film, MA is an important concept to highlight because of its great influence on filmmaking and audience experience. In the visual arts, “MA” can be interpreted as “space” or “interval”; MA can also be said to be the core of aesthetic principles. The purpose of this study is to find and identify the philosophical aspects of the concept of MA in the scenes found in the animated film Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) to gain an understanding of visual aesthetics as well as to understand how the concept of MA works and is used in the visual aesthetics of Ghibli animated films. The research methodology on the concept of MA involves a multidimensional approach that includes visual language methods, literature study, and content analysis, as well as a combination of theories on emptiness and tensegrity structure. The analysis shows that the number of scenes containing MA factors is 17 scenes; the total scenes in the movie are about 2,301 scenes, with the assumption that each scene averages 3 seconds. The 17 scenes only take up a portion of 0.73%, a relatively flat number; then, if we take the duration of time for each scene, a value shows the total scene that contains MA factors is 333 Seconds or 5.55 minutes while the total duration of the Howl’s Moving Castle animated film is 01:55:05 minutes or about 6,905 seconds the MA transition scene is 4.8% of the total film. The research can provide an in-depth insight into the use of MA in the context of animated films, where it can provide an understanding of how seemingly simple visual elements, such as empty space, can have a strong impact on the audience’s experience and level of engagement, or understanding of the story and characters.

Divorce Representation in Hindia’s Video Clip Version of “Alexandra”
Full text linkIn the growing digital age, video clips serve as a promotional tool for music and can also be used to deliver complex social messages to audiences. Through their video clip titled “Alexandra”, Hindia describes how divorce affects the psychological condition of children to adulthood. The problem formulation of this study is how the child’s representation as a victim of divorce in Hindia’s video clip “Alexandra” is characterized by a qualitative descriptive method. Through Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory approach, non-verbal signs can be used to see a picture of the feelings and emotions of a character in a divorce story and reveal how hidden messages are represented through visual composition in a video clip. The commercial is interesting to be thorough because it features a social reality. The current issue of divorce is that of a child as a victim. The symbols are then examined along with the study of literature so that they can produce understandable interpretations. The conclusion of this study is to educate the public on the social issues of divorce so that it can encourage them to have critical thinking and move social action. Dalam era digital yang semakin berkembang, video klip tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai alat promosi musik semata, tetapi juga dapat digunakan sebagai sarana untuk menyampaikan pesan-pesan sosial yang kompleks kepada audiens. Hal tersebut dilakukan oleh salah satu musisi Indonesia, Hindia. Melalui video klipnya yang berjudul “Alexandra”, Hindia menggambarkan bagaimana dampak perceraian terhadap kondisi psikologis anak hingga dewasa. Rumusan masalah dari penelitian ini adalah bagaimana representasi anak sebagai korban perceraian dalam video klip Hindia versi “Alexandra” yang dikupas dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Melalui pendekatan teori semiotika Roland Barthes, tanda-tanda non-verbal dapat diungkap untuk melihat gambaran perasaan serta emosi dari karakter dalam kisah perceraian serta mengungkap bagaimana pesanpesan tersembunyi direpresentasikan melalui komposisi visual dalam video klip. Iklan ini menarik untuk teliti karena menampilkan realitas sosial terkini, yaitu isu perceraian yang dikemas dari sudut pandang anak sebagai korban. Simbol-simbol di dalamnya kemudian dikaji bersama dengan studi literatur sehingga dapat menghasilkan interpretasi yang dapat dipahami. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah untuk menyadarkan masyarakat mengenai isu sosial perceraian sehingga dapat mendorong mereka untuk memiliki pemikiran kritis serta menggerakkan tindakan sosial
The Construction of Masculinity Myths in the Namin Group's Bajidoran Arena as a Specific Gender Order"
Full text linkThe Sundanese people have long recognized bajidoran as an entertainment art form that presents the aesthetics of dance and traditional Sundanese music (karawitan). However, beneath this surface lies the complexity of power struggles and masculine domination among individuals involved in the Bajidoran Enthusiast Community (Komunitas Pecinta Bajidoran or KPB). Interestingly, the power struggles are not limited to men but also involve women. This phenomenon prompts an inquiry into why bajidoran is heavily associated with practices of masculinity. This study aims to address the following questions: why is bajidoran associated with practices of masculinity, how is this construction process carried out, what are the contributing factors, and what are the implications for the KPB? This research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, wherein the researcher values the experiences and realities of the subjects under study, even if they differ radically from their own. The researcher applies three characteristics of this new ethnography: honesty, towards other facts, self-reflection, and polyvocality. Data collection involves literature review, observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of the research explain that: 1) masculinity is strongly embedded in bajidoran due to: firstly, cultural, daily practices, and historical contexts that construct masculinity, which are dialectically intertwined with the experiences of the KPB, both present and past. Secondly, the situational and practical conditions within the bajidoran arena (social relations and interactions) have great potential to generate masculinity. 2) The process of constructing masculinity involves seven stages: production, socialization, appreciation, internalization and externalization, relationships and interactions, staging, and formation. Eight factors contribute to the construction of masculinity: patterns/sequences, the role of the mc and pesinden (vocalists), pencug ibing (leader), kendang (drum), selendang (scarf), economic capital, alcoholic beverages, and musical elements. The results of this research provide insights for the Bajidoran Enthusiast Community and relevant institutions to reconstruct the staging of masculinity in a way that accommodates gender equality
