THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES
Semiotic
Theory as the theory, semiotic means systematical study about production and
signs interpretation, its procedure, and the significance for human’s life also
argued that semiotic is a science or analysismethod to analyze the signs. Signs
mean everything represents into another, such as, experience, though, feeling,
idea, and soon. Therefore signs are not only the language, but also everything
in this life. However, we have to consider that language is the most complete
of sign. Semiotic itself is science aboutsigns. In Greece, semiotic is semeion=
sign. Signs are found whenever, such as language, body language, traffic lamp,
flag and so on. The elements of literature, film, building, or sing of bird may
be called a sign.
The
American philosophies, Charles Senders Pierce, state that we can think through
signs. Without signs mean no communication. Two thousands ago, the Greek
philosophy have already though the function of signs, the definition, and the
functionhave been discussed. Nevertheless, the name of semiotic has used since
VVIII century by Lambert, Germany philosopher. Many people think and discus
about semiotic. However, there are two main sources of contemporary
semiotictheory. They are Charless Sander Pierce and Ferdinand Dessausure. Both
of them are the main sources in semiotic theory. Pierce is the Philosopher and
logician, and then Saussure is the master of linguistic. Study about semiotic
of film is the way to analyze a system of signs which determine what the
convention is that supports the producing of meaning. Seeing any various inside
the internal structure or context will produce the differents meaning.
Understanding
what semiotic is, it is really expected that semiotic will be useful in
analyzing the literature, movie especially. Shortly, semiotic is one of the
appropriate theory help understanding the literature, movie especially. Today,
it is important, because in human’s life is full of signs. Through the signs,
the process of life is more efficient because of the signs. People can make
communication with the society. Therefore, human is called homo semioticus. In
addition, Teeuw stated that literary work is a work that uses a meaningful
signs as its medium, that is language. The meaning of sign is determined by
social convention, such as, grammar and the meaning. Therefore, the literary
people as the language user must be according to the system of language
convention they use. It is because language has concept as the basic for
understanding the real world and the basic of communication among others.
Consequently, the reader of literary work in producing the sign must
appropriate with the language system used in the first time, hopefully the
readers will interpret the meaning of work exactly.
The
science of signs usually thinks that the phenomena of society and culture are
signs. Semiotic itself discuses about the systems, the procedures and the
conventions which are enable for every sign to have a meaning. In literary
criticism, semiotic include the literary analysis as the using of language that
depends on the additional convention and analyzing the characteristics that
give the meaning with various knowledge.
METHODS OF THE STUDY
In
this study, literary criticisms will be used asthe method of this research. It
usually regards an analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of literary work:
it does not mean “finding fault with it”. It relies on the movie. The
researcher will describe, understand them and systemize the objective of study.
The objective is the real social condition of the siciety that need more
attention. Every expression in the film will be connected through the methods
in semiotic. Based on Riffatere’s theory they are heuristic and hermeneutic.
To get the data
needed, the writer conducted and field research by using some technique.In
addition, the researcher finds any relevant data to enrich the knowledge about
the object. Beside that,the data analysis is started by watching and
understanding the social
condition which appear in the movie. In the second,
the analyzing is needed
to understand the movie each tittle.
The last step is inter text interpretation.
It helps the
researcher to understand the works deeply. After findings and discussion are summarized and finished by making conclusion.
According to the
research, the researcher finds four
kinds of social states which appear in indonesian
movies; (1) social states in intem
of indonesia, (2) social states in the capital city of indonesia,
