MAKNA REPRESENTAMEN KENDARAAN PADA FILM ANIMASI ANAK CAR TOONS COMPILATION: KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA C.S. PEIRCE

Car Toons Compilation is an animated film by the YouTube channel First Toons which contains a compilation of episodes of Car Toons, including A Tow Truck, A Water Truck, and A Tractor. Car Toons tells a different story in each episode but still includes car elements. This study aims to discuss the semiotic understanding of the animated film by using Peirce's semiotic theory, especially icons, indexes, and symbols. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with descriptive analysis, which emphasizes the process of semiosis with the meaning of the relationship between signs or representamen in the elements of animated films and their benefits for children. The study results show that the animated films A Tow Truck, A Water Truck, and A Tractor have imaginary icons, namely visuals based on similarities to reality. The Tow Truck's indexicality as a saviour for a breaking car has a symbol of a towing tool that has a tip like a fishing hook on the back of the truck. The indexicality of the Water Truck is used to save alive whales even though they are on land. The blue object is a symbol of water. Tractor truck indexicality that agricultural land can be planted due to tractor services, its symbolism is that the animation of land with plants is agricultural land. Based on this discussion, the meaning of representamen provides benefits for children in the form of understanding the types of trucks and their uses.

SIGNS IN DAUD KIM'S STATEMENTS ON HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL: THE CORRECTIONS OF MISTAKEN ISLAMIC UNDERSTANDING

ABSTRACT The study aimed to examine icons, indices, and symbols in Daud's speech connected to misconceptions about Islam through the semiosis method. Semiotics can be used in a variety of contexts. therefore, it is crucial to conduct study in this area to prevent misconceptions about Islam. The study has two issues: (1) the semiotic indicators in Daud Kim's vlog that are connected to misinterpretations of Islamophobic messaging (2) Daud Kim's vlog discusses misinterpreting messages about Islam's semiosis process. In order to reply to and examine the problems, Peirce's theory of triadic relation was used which illustrates the relationship between the represent, object, and interpretation in semiotics. The description of the semiosis process and how it relates to how the indicators should be interpreted were made evident in this study using the qualitative technique. The research's semiosis process: Every statement—verbal or nonverbal—began as a representamen, progressed to an object as the first point at that statement, and—from the relationship between representamen and object—became the interpretant in the end. As a consequence, the study discovered that Daud's statement can be strengthened by the semiosis process in order to avoid and clarify the mistaken message about Islam. It is possible to understand as far as feasible, the essence of the Islamic message through representation, object, and interpreter. Keywords: semiosis, Daud Kim, icon, index, and symbol

A Semiotic Analysis of Sarcasm Memes in @sarcasm_only Instagram Account

While the data from this research are sarcasm memes in the form of text and images. This study focused on memes containing sarcasm found on the Instagram account @sarcasm_only that can be attributed to everyone regardless of their gender. In the analysis, 26 signs were found. 12 signs were found in the form of images and 14 signs in the form of text. Further researchers are advised to conduct research on sarcasm memes in the form of videos. Because this study examines sarcasm memes in the form of images, some aspects such as Index are rarely found.

Where There’s a Will… There’s a Choice: Comments on Liszka’s Charles Peirce on Ethics, Esthetics and the Normative Sciences

The influence of John Duns Scotus' doctrine of the free will on Charles Peirce's normative theory is proposed in the context of commentaries on James J. Liszka's latest book on Peirce and the normative sciences.

Remarks on James Liszka’s Charles Peirce on Ethics, Esthetics and the Normative Sciences

Peirce held a convergence theory of moral truth, as James Liszka persuasively argues in Charles Peirce on Ethics, Esthetics, and the Normative Sciences (2021). Here I emphasize: (1) that Peirce's convergence theory follows from the application of the maxim of pragmatism to the concept of moral goodness or rightness; (2) that in connection with Peirce's account of the ethical summum bonum, morally right action can be understood as action that conforms or contributes to the growth of concrete reasonableness; and (3) that, for Peirce, the growth of concrete reasonableness seems to be a movement or development toward "God". While I broadly agree with Liszka's approach, I highlight some disagreements. As do many readers of Peirce, Liszka seems to regard the convergence of beliefs and habits as necessarily a convergance among the "indefinite community" of distinct persons or inquirers; however, there is sufficient evidence that Peirce came to think that, if any given person were to live long enough, they would come to the same conclusions or rest in the same habits on their own. With respect to morality, even the most evil person would eventually come around to the moral truth.

The results of this study indicate that the character Sagiri has several signs of characterizations of a hikikomori that are compatible with the real world.

Semiotics, semiology and film

Semiotics and semiology are quite different paradigms stemming from different origins. This paper demonstrates the differences and developes C.S. Peirce's notions of Phaneroscopy, Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness, explores his notion of Interpretants and applies these to the study of film. Peirce's theory is shown to be much more adaptable than the semiology developed by Metz from de Saussure's linguistic con- cepts. Whereas Metz's theory of signs can only take account of narrative cinema, the extention of Peirce's theory proposed here is able to account for all types of cinema from narrative to abstract.

Integral Ecology As Theosemiotic: A Case For A Pragmatist Theological Ethics

THE LIGHT WE LOST BY JILL SANTOPOLO: SEMIOTICS STUDY

Semiotics is the study of signs and everything in our life is an indication of a sign according to both the European view represented by Ferdinand de Saussure and the American view represented by Charles Sanders Peirce. Therefore, the researcher studies semiotics in The Light We Lost (2017) for the internationally best-selling author Jill Santopolo. The researcher selects this novel as there is no study has been done so far in analyzing this novel from a semiotics viewpoint. Peirce's triadic theory of icon, index and symbol is selected as a tool in examining the selected novel.

The semiotics study of Al-Ahdhar Mosque architecture using the trichotomy of Charles Sanders Peirce

Semiotics is a science of signs, which is found daily in public spaces, print media, literary works, and buildings. A building can convey value, story, philosophy, and meaning through signs expressed on its architectural elements. These signs are in form of shape, spatial arrangement, building ornaments, colors, patterns, textures, or other elements. Therefore, this study aims to determine the meaning and message expressed by the architectural form of the Al-Ahdhar Mosque based on Charles Sanders Peirce's Semiotics, which consists of three aspects, namely Representant, Object, and Interpretant with the concept of trichotomy. It was carried out using a descriptive qualitative method to determine more about the observed phenomena. The meaning and messages of the case study were conveyed in form of signs and symbols through architectural elements. The data obtained through observations, interviews, and documentation were translated using Charles Sanders Peirce's Trichotomy semiotics. The modern-style design of the Al-Ahdhar Mosque showed that the forms and architectural elements carry a certain meaning. The results also showed that Charles Sanders Peirce's Trichotomy semiotic theory can be used to reveal meaning through signs. This indicated that signs on building elements have a meaning, and the relationship of meaning, sign, and symbol is from a correlation between signs and omens, which is called the semiosis process.

Unconscious inferences in perception in early experimental psychology: From Wundt to Peirce.

What are unconscious inferences in psychology? This article investigates their journey from the early philosophical psychology of Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) to the experimental psychology of the American pragmatist Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914). Peirce's reception of Wundt's early works situates him in an international web of 19th-century experimental psychologists and its reconstruction opens new perspectives on the relation between philosophy, psychology, and epistemology. Moreover, this reception testifies to a heretofore overlooked strand of influence of Wundt on North American experimental psychology. The notion of unconscious inferences, of which Hermann von Helmholtz is usually considered the chief exponent, becomes the backbone of Peirce's theory of perception mostly because of the affinity between Wundt's early philosophy of mind and Peirce's logic-mediated approach to psychology.

The Development of Pragmatics in Morris’s Behavioral Semiotics: Semiotic Perspective

Many pragmaticists claimed that pragmatics developed mainly from 1970s and 1980s, taking the emergence of its series of pragmatic theories (e.g., Cooperative Principle, Conversation Implicature, Relevance Theory, etc.), methodology, and the official issue of Journal of Pragmatics (1977) in Amsterdam as its marks. However, few scholars reinstate the historical truth of the real development of pragmatics by comparing and reviewing the semiotic thoughts between Peirce and Morris so as to discover the development and prosperity of pragmatics in Morris’s times (around 1930s). As one of the founders of modern semiotics, Morris’s major contribution derives from his proposal of trichotomy theory of semiosis, that is, syntactics, semantics, and pragmatics, grounded on which Morris intends to establish an all-inclusive general theory of signs. Substantially, Morris’s semiotic theory involves rich pragmatic thought which is inherited and developed from Peirce theory of signs that has logic and pragmaticism as its foundations. This paper aims to reveal the formation and development of pragmatics in Morris’s behavioral semiotics by means of comparing the semiotic thoughts between Peirce and Morris from the perspective of dynamic history. Specifically, this paper involves the analysis of the philosophical foundations of pragmatics, disciplinary classification, the establishment of pragmatics, theory of sign inquiry, the relevant specific semiotic views, and three semiotic dimensions of Morris’s pragmatics, which are conducive to explore the pragmatic origin and development from the perspective of Morris’s semiotic thoughts. As such, Pragmatics in Morris’s behavioral semiotics is established and developed in a systematic and formal way.

Representasi Sensualitas Wanita Pada Iklan Televisi “Segar Sari Susu Soda” Versi Julia Perez

Advertising as a promotional medium contains the ideology of persuasion. This research is motivated by the existence of a television advertisement for Segar Sari Susu Soda, a version of Julia Perez, which represents the exploitation of female sensuality. The research approach uses descriptive qualitative methods, which are carried out with the viewpoint of the theory of female sensuality in mass media (television) advertisements based on existing case studies. The aim is to analyze product advertisement impressions that contain elements of female sensuality by using Charles Sanders Peirce's theory and John Fiske's semiotic analysis theory to explore both the social and linguistic meanings visualized in these advertisements, both verbally and nonverbally. The results of this study indicate that the sensuality presented in the advertisement for Segar Sari Susu Soda's version of Julia Perez is a form of emotional conflict in the form of a mask of sensuality that is modified to become an element being sold, and if left unchecked will damage the character of sexuality in a socio-cultural perspective and damage religious and ethical values.

Semiotika dalam Metode Analisis Karya Seni Rupa

Fine art is one of the artifacts that are present as a result of human behavior and human actions that are driven by motivation in their thoughts and feelings. Therefore, a work of art is not something isolated but is an element of a system so that the meaning contained in it is systemic as well. This means that the meaning of a work of art can be determined by the system, by the work of art itself, and by the humans who make the work of art, or who associate physical elements from the environment with certain meanings. This has become the object of theoretical study and is systematically analyzed by semiotics by relying on the sign as the main concept. Fine art in the study of semiotics is not only limited to a theoretical framework, but also as a method of analysis. For example, in fine art analysis, Peirce's theory of triangle meaning consisting of a sign, object, and interpretant is one theory that can be applied.

Representament and Object (RO) Marking Iconicity Relationship in Wardah Cosmetics Commercial TV Advertising

This study aims to examine the relationship between representament and object iconicity in Wardah's cosmetic commercial television commercials, which include shampoo, BB cream, mascara, lipstick, and social activities. Wardah cosmetic commercial television commercials attempt to construct consumers using the concept of “Beauty from the heart”. Meanwhile, the beauty of cosmetic users is always visible physically. Thus, it cannot be proven to be real beauty from the heart when someone uses cosmetics. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method to analyze data in the form of verbal and nonverbal text. The researcher uses Charles Sander Peirce's semiotic theory which divides the signs according to the relationship between the representament (sign) and its object (marker) into icons, indexes, and symbols. The results of this study indicate that beauty can be classified into two categories, namely physical beauty and psychological beauty. Physical beauty relates to the body and the head. There are four parts of the head which are icons of beauty for a young woman: 1) the hair, 2) the facial skin, 3) the eyes, and 4) the lips. Meanwhile, psychological beauty is a beauty from the heart that is manifested in the form of attitudes during social activities. In addition, young women as users of Wardah cosmetics are represented by the use of youthful vocabulary and language typical of the millennial generation.

Ikonisitas dalam Arsip Foto Karya Seni Rupa Dua Dimensional

Digitalization has brought new complexity to the issue of archival photographs of artworks. This paper explores the relationship between two-dimensional artwork and its representation in the form of digital archive photos. The author mobilizes the concept of the relation between representamens and objects in Charles Sanders Peirce's theory of signs. Based on the analyses carried out in this paper, the presence of the Icon and Index feels very strong in the case of archival photographs of works of art. This finding stresses the need of two types of archival photos of works, namely primary photos and secondary photos. Classification is carried out based on the level of similarity in the representation seen in the archive photo.
