This study aims to explore and articulate how Eastern Indonesian identities are depicted throughout the film. Employing a qualitative research design with a descriptive approach, the analysis adopts Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic framework, consisting of the triadic model of sign, object, and interpretant, to examine the symbolic meanings embedded in character behaviour and visual presentation. Grounded in the theory of social reality construction and viewed through a constructivist paradigm, this inquiry deciphers the cultural codes encoded in the film’s narrative. The findings reveal that Eastern characters are portrayed as dominant figures within informal social structures, emphasizing familial bonds, tradition, and courage in the face of adversity. Visual cues such as collar-pulling gestures, shaved heads, and dark skin tones intensify the depiction of strength, loyalty, and honour. The film ultimately crafts social imagery through visual signifiers and a structured cinematic narrative.

This study investigates how young women in South Bekasi interpret toxic masculinity as represented in the television series Euphoria. Using Stuart Hall’s Encoding-Decoding theory as the analytical framework, the study employs a qualitative research approach through in-depth interviews with five informants aged 23–26. The research adopts a constructivist paradigm to understand how individual and social contexts shape audience reception. Findings reveal that all participants align with the dominant-hegemonic position, interpreting toxic masculinity by the filmmaker’s constructed message. This study highlights the significant influence of media representations on audience perceptions of gender norms. Furthermore, it contributes to the broader discourse on how mass media perpetuates or challenges traditional gender expectations among youth, particularly in an Indonesian sociocultural context.
