Abstract
This study aims to identify and analyze the representation of masculinity in the film Argantara using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. Film as a mass communication medium not only conveys entertainment, but also represents social and cultural values, including the construction of masculinity. The character of Argantara in this film is depicted as a strong, dominant, and powerful male figure, but also has a complex emotional side. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis techniques which include connotation, denotation, and myth. Data were obtained through observation of scenes in the film containing elements of masculinity, then analyzed based on Janet Saltzman Chafezt's seven concepts of masculinity, namely physical, functional, sexual, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, and personal aspects. The results of the study show that the representation of masculinity in the film Argantara is dominated by hegemonic masculinity which presents men as strong, brave, rational, and in control of social relations. This can be seen from the physical appearance, role as protector, dominance in relationships, and leadership of the main character. This film also presents another dimension in the form of emotional vulnerability which shows that men are not always in a strong position but also have a fragile side which is shown through expressions of sadness, loss and emotional needs, indicating a shift in the meaning of masculinity which is more adaptive and contextual.
