  • Television in Singapore: a Brief Introduction to Its Television Industry
    -Journal of Arts, Science & Commerce ■E-ISSN2229-4686■ISSN2231-4172 TELEVISION IN SINGAPORE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO ITS TELEVISION INDUSTRY Aaron Rao, Lecturer, School of IT, Digital Media & Mass Communication, TMC Academy, Singapore. ABSTRACT TV arrived in Singapore on 15 February 1963 and since its inaugural launch Singapore’s TV industry has undoubtedly developed over the years. In the context of the four theories of the press, it can be quickly concluded that Singapore’s TV industry is Authoritarian by its regulative nature. Despite being a democratic country, the freedom to express freely what is on one’s mind through the use of TV as a medium is still extremely restrictive. As a result, there are many reasons as to why Singapore’s TV industry is still moderately unadventurous, especially where censorship is concerned. As the TV industry in Singapore is operated and fully controlled by the government, the content that appears on TV is usually highly censored, scripted to precision in accordance with the MDA guidelines, non-offensive and contain the usage of propaganda. This paper seeks to give a brief insight into not only the history and transformation of Singapore’s television (TV) industry to what it is today, but also to better understand how the said country’s TV industry currently operates, and how their content is produced as well as the impacts it has around the region. Keywords: Singapore, Television, Ownership, Censorship, Regulation. International Refereed Research Journal ■www.researchersworld.com■Vol.–V, Issue – 3, July 2014 [56] -Journal of Arts, Science & Commerce ■E-ISSN2229-4686■ISSN2231-4172 INTRODUCTION: In the context of the four theories of the press, it can be quickly concluded that Singapore’s TV industry is Authoritarian by its regulative nature.

  • Representasi Demit Sebagai Identitas Manusia Dalam TV Serial Televisi HBO Asia Halfworlds (2015)
    Representasi Demit Sebagai Identitas Manusia dalam TV Serial Televisi HBO Asia Halfworlds (2015) Oleh: Rizki Zulkifli (071115098) – C Email: [email protected] ABSTRAK Fokus dari penelitian ini adalah representasi Demit sebagai identitas manusia yang ditampilkan di TV series Halfworlds oleh Joko Anwar pada episode 1-8. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi makna bagaimana Demit digambarkan melalui visualisasi dan dialog dalam Halfworlds episode 1-8 oleh Joko Anwar. Visualisasi Demit melalui Halfworlds memiliki kesamaan sifat dan bentuk dengan manusia yaitu kekerasan, dan sentimen. Juga dalam Halfwords terdapat 5 jenis Demit dimana pada film Indonesia lain hanya menampilkan 1 sampai 2 jenis demit. Untuk mengetahui makna dibalik kekerasan dan perasaan emosi yang ditampilkan oleh Demit dalam Halfworlds, peneliti menggunakan analisis semiotika Roland Barthes untuk menganalisis secara denotas, konotasi dan mitos. Melalui penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa kekerasan dan sentimen merupakan penggambaran situasi yang dihadapi oleh Demit dan manusia, kekerasan yang ditampilkan merupakan bagian dari identitas yang di miliki oleh Demit Halfworldsdimana Demit dalam Halfworlds memiliki superiotas diatas manusia, kekerasan juga ditampilkan sebagai bagian dari identitas maskulin dimana Demit perempuan juga ikut andil dalam melakukan kekerasan. Demit sebagai makhluk yang memiliki emosi juga merupakan bagian dari identitas dimana makna yang tersimpan dari hal itu adalah Demit memiliki sifat yang menyerupai manusia. peneliti kemudian menemukan mitos kekerasan yang ditampilkan, keduamitos pembunuhan yang ditampilkan, ketiga mitos kekerasan sebagai bagian dari maskulinitas Demit, dan yang keempat mitos Demit makhluk yang mempunyai emosi sentimen baik terhadap Demit maupun manusia. Kata kunci : Demit, Halfworlds, kekerasan, emosi, sentimen, semiotic PENDAHULUAN Penelitian ini akan membahas tentang penggambaran Demit dalam TV series Halfworlds.
