Abstract
Interfaith marriage is an increasingly heated issue in Indonesia, along with the increasingly massive practice carried out by couples of different religions, ranging from ordinary people to presidential staff, and causing pros and cons among the public. Most recently, a Christian man who wanted to marry his Muslim lover filed a lawsuit for review of the Marriage Law with the Constitutional Court, especially Article 2 paragraphs 1 and 2, and Article 8 letter f, which generally regulates the validity and prohibition of marriage. Interfaith marriage, which became a social issue, later became an interesting theme adopted by the scriptwriters and directors for the film. There are at least five film titles with the theme of interfaith marriages that have been displayed in Indonesian cinemas since 1999. Filmgoers who are predominantly teenagers and adults, of course, have different meanings for the narratives of the films they watch; this can be influenced by various aspects, especially cultural and religious backgrounds. The meaning of the film “Cinta Tapi Beda” will be given by a student audience that represents the dominant age of cinemagoers in Indonesia. This is qualitative research with a constructivist paradigm. The method of selecting the source uses the criterion sampling technique, where the criteria for the source have been determined in advance. The data collection method used in this study was through in-depth interviews using semi-structured interview guidelines. The data analysis method uses Stuart Hall’s encoding-decoding theory by classifying meaning into dominant, negotiating, and oppositional. The results showed that one in four audiences was in a position of dominant hegemony, one was in a negotiating position, and the other two were in an opposition position.
在印尼,跨宗教婚姻是一个越来越热门的话题,随着不同宗教的夫妇(从普通人到总统工作人员)越来越多地开展这种活动,公众中也出现了赞成和反对的声音。最近,一名想与穆斯林情人结婚的基督徒男子向宪法法院提起诉讼,要求审查《婚姻法》,特别是第2条第1款和第2款以及一般规定婚姻的有效性和禁止性的第8条第f项。跨宗教婚姻,成为一个社会问题,后来成为一个有趣的主题,采用了编剧和导演的电影。自1999年以来,印尼电影院至少放映了五部以宗教间婚姻为主题的电影。当然,以青少年和成年人为主的电影观众对他们所观看的电影的叙事有不同的理解;这可能受到各个方面的影响,尤其是文化和宗教背景。电影“Cinta Tapi Beda”的意义将由代表印度尼西亚电影观众的主要年龄的学生观众给予。这是一种建构主义范式的定性研究。选择源的方法使用标准采样技术,其中源的标准已经提前确定。本研究使用的数据收集方法是采用半结构化访谈指南进行深度访谈。数据分析方法采用Stuart Hall的编码-解码理论,将意义分为主导意义、协商意义和对立意义。结果显示,四分之一的观众处于主导霸权地位,一名观众处于谈判地位,另外两名观众处于反对地位。
