  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    Universitas Esa Unggul BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Komunikasi merupakan kegiatan sehari-hari yang sangat penting, komunikasi dilakukan untuk memperoleh informasi. Komunikasi adalah suatu proses dimana dua orang atau lebih membentuk atau melakukan pertukaran informasi terhadap satu sama lain yang pada gilirannya akan tiba saling pengertian (Everett M. Rogers 2004:19). Sedangkan menurut Harold D. Lasswell komunikasi adalah dengan mejawab pertanyaan berikut: Who Say What In Which Channel To Whom With What Effect? (siapa mengatakan apa dengan saluran apa kepada siapa dengan efek bagaimana?) (Lasswell 1960:40). Dunia perfilman saat ini pada umumnya berlomba dalam penyajian film yang sedang diminati dikalangan masyarakat, terutama dibagian genre film. Hal ini di pengaruhi adanya minat konsumen terhadap suatu genre dan teknologi terkait media baru. Film berbasis internet juga sudah mulai dibuat dan sangat memudahkan kita, dengan berlangganan seperti TV kabel kita sudah bisa mengakses film – film yang ingin ditonton secara praktis dan efesien diamanapun dan kapan pun kita berada. Karena itu dunia “Rumah Produksi Film” harus lebih kreatif dan inovatif dalam memproduksi sebuah film yang berkualitas, bukan hanya ingin ditonton oleh masyarakat. Film lebih dahulu menjadi media hiburan dibanding radio siaran dan televisi. Menonton film ke bioskop ini menjadi aktivitas popular bagi orang Amerika pada tahun 1920-an sampai 1950-an. Industri film adalah industry bisnis. Predikat ini telah menggeser anggapan orang yang masih meyakini bahwa film adalah karya seni, yang diproduksi secara kreatif dan memenuhi imajinasi orang – orang yang bertujuan memperoleh estetika (keindahan) yang sempurna. Meskipun pada kenyataannya adalah bentuk karya seni, industri film adalah bisnis yang memberikan keuntungan, kadang – kadang menjadi mesin uang yang seringkali, demi uang, keluar dari kaidah artistik film itu sendiri (Dominick.

  • Depoliticisation and Repoliticisation in Post-Colonial Indonesian Film Adaptations, Primarily Focusing on Blood and Crown of the Dancer (1983) and The
    Depoliticisation and Repoliticisation in Post-Colonial Indonesian Film Adaptations By Dwi Setiawan Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester April 2017 i Abstract This study investigates the depoliticisation and repoliticisation in post-colonial Indonesian film adaptations, primarily focusing on Blood and Crown of the Dancer (1983) and The Dancer (2011), the two adaptations of Ahmad Tohari’s novel The Dancer (1982). The investigation is motivated by a series of problems in adaptation studies, namely, the hegemony of Anglo-American texts, the domination of former British colonies in post- colonial adaptation, and the homogenising construct of the East versus the West in most post- colonial criticism. The novel and the film adaptations recount the long, internal struggles between the military and civil society in the Dutch former colony after the independence. What is prevalent yet forgotten in those works and the domestic conflicts that they emulate is the practices of depoliticisation and politicisation, which have regularly been associated with, respectively, the denial of politics by the military regime and the corruption of ‘apolitical’ realms by its political enemies. This thesis aims to show that the depoliticisation and ii politicisation in the novel and the adaptations are much more subtle and complex than imagined. Incorporating Flinders and Wood’s theory of depoliticisation, Foucault’s principle of discourse, and Bourdieu’s account of capital, the investigation attempts to capture the discursive depoliticisation and politicisation in the texts as well as the interrelated governmental, societal, and personal factors in adaptation. Although the thesis is structured by the three texts, each chapter draws equal attention to the contexts, subjects, and audiences of each work and scrutinises all of them through the lenses of depoliticisation and repoliticisation.

  • Merantau (2009) La Risposta Indonesiana a Tony Jaa in Una Sensazionale Escalation Di Arti Marziali Intrisa Di Pessimismo
    Merantau (2009) La risposta indonesiana a Tony Jaa in una sensazionale escalation di arti marziali intrisa di pessimismo. Un film di Gareth Evans con Iko Uwais, Sisca Jessica, Christine Hakim, Mads Koudal, Yusuf Aulia, Alex Abbad, Yayan Ruhian, Laurent Buson, Donny Alamsyah, Ratna Galih. Genere Azione durata 134 minuti. Produzione Indonesia 2009. Una storia di arti marziali, lotte e iniziazioni. Emanuele Sacchi - www.mymovies.it Yuda lascia la natia Sumatra per compiere il suo merantau, rito di passaggio che prevede un'esperienza di vita nella grande città. Arrivato a Jakarta per trovare lavoro come insegnante di silat, si trova privo del domicilio atteso e, in breve tempo, di fronte a un affare sporco di sfruttamento di ragazze, di fronte al quale Yuda non può tenere gli occhi chiusi. Era dai tempi di Barry Prima, star degli anni Ottanta, che il cinema indonesiano non era ai vertici del cinema di arti marziali. Grazie a un regista gallese, emigrato a Jakarta, e a un talento naturale come Iko Uwais, il silat torna a furoreggiare sugli schermi, in una variante (silat harimau) che attinge fortemente dal muay thai thailandese e dal kung fu cinese. L'ovvio termine di paragone di Uwais, anche per la somiglianza fisica, è Tony Jaa, il piccolo prodigio che ha sconvolto il mondo a colpi di ginocchiate in testa in Ong-Bak. Ma la star indonesiana evolve ulteriormente il lavoro di Jaa, mantenendone la mirabilia cinetica ma aggiungendo credibilità ai momenti in cui è richiesto di recitare e di rappresentare la delusione di un ragazzo pieno di speranze, posto di fronte alla ferocia del mondo.
