Semiotic Analysis of Roland Barthes in the Wayang Kekayon Khalifah Paraga Hudzaifah bin Yaman
Keywords:
Wayang Kekayon Khalifah, paraga Hudzaifah bin Yaman, denotation, connotationAbstract
This research aims to explain the denotative and connotative meaning of the signs contained in the Wayang Kekayon Khalifah paraga Hudzaifah bin Yaman. Therefore, a qualitative approach is needed in this research. Data was obtained through interpretation of text and images on the wayang appearance. Furthermore, Barthes' theory about the relationship between signifier and signified called "staggered systems" is applied in this case. According to Barthes, the two levels are denotation and connotation. Connotation is defined as the meaning attributed to an image beyond the obvious level of denotation. Meanwhile, denotation is defined as the first and simplest level of meaning of an image. The results of this research show the connotative meaning through the text and images contained in the Wayang Kekayon Khalifah paraga Hudzaifah bin Yaman. The findings of this research are, firstly, images and text as signs contain two meanings (connotative and denotative) in referring to certain objects. Second, the connotative meaning of the sign is analogous to the denotative meaning. Third, signs in the form of visuals are more dominant than signs that appear in text.
