Abstract

Abstract

  The objective of this article is to 1) analyze the narrative structure of the film "E-riam-sing" and 2) analyze the representation of women in the film "E-riam-sing" using qualitative research methods. The tools used for analysis are narrative structure and representation. The study found that the narrative structure analysis of the film "E-riam-sing" consists of seven components: plot, story core, scene, conflict, character, special symbols, and perspective in storytelling. The story core revolves around themes of love, jealousy, goodness, evil, and family relationships. Conflicts arise between individuals, within the psyche, and between humans and society. Additionally, the study analyzed the meaning conveyed through symbols in the film's imagery, as well as the different perspectives in storytelling.

         This study also analyzed the representation of women in the film. The researcher used the concept of representation, which consists of two processes: mental representation and sign, to analyze the representation of women in various contexts. These contexts include women and physical violence, women and sexual violence, women and family relationships, women and virginity, women and leadership roles, women and work roles, women and kindness, women and desire for love, and women and the role of gratitude. The study also identified signs that represent women's identity and symbols that represent women's freedom rights.
