Abstract

This study aims to analyze Ihe representation of patriarchal domination and women 's forms Of restslance against gender inequality in the 2023 film Women from Rote Island directed by Jeremias Nyangoen. Employing a qualitative approach and Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, the research examines the meaning Of signs Ihrough Ihree levels Of significalion: denotation (literal meaning), connotation (ideological meaning), and myth (naturalized ideologv). The film depicts 'he slruggles of MarIha, a sexual violence survivor and migranl worker, and her mother Orpa, a single mother facing stigma, dlscrrmina/ion, and pressures from Ihe palrilineal customs Of Rote Island. The analysis reveals patriarchal dominalion is represented Ihrough Ihe control over women's bodies, sexual harassment, the stigmalizalion of single mothers as "incomplete, " and Ihe manipulation Of customs and honor to silence victims. In contrast, the film constructs a counter-myth Of resistance Ihrough Orpa's role as a protector, women's solidarity, rejection of forced reconciha/ion, and public demonslra/ions that challenge male authority and Iradi/ional institullons. This study demonstrates that the film nol only reproduces the reality of gender inequality in Ihe cullural conlexl of Rote bul also presents women as active subjects of resistance. Theoretically, this research enriches gender studies and film semiolics in Indonesia; practically, it provides ma/erial for critical reflection, media literacy, and advocacy for gender justice in Indigenous communities.
