Thus the context is intervening the writing of the song. The results showed that there are many repetitions found to emphasize the message delivered which can be considered as something that viewed as highly really matter for the author or the singer of the song then based on the symbolic or semiotic analysis, most of the clues delivered are trying to express the singers’ transformation regarding to her new reputation as a more powerful and tough person from her past image as an innocent sweet girl. The clues are delivered through the symbols in the forms of animals such as snakes and raven which belief as the symbols of transformation.

Abstract. Music video (MV) content is frequently measured using researcher descriptions. This study examines subjective or viewers’ notions of sex and violence. 168 university students watched 9 mainstream MVs. Incidence counts of sex and violence involve more mediating factors than ratings. High incidents are associated with older viewers, higher scores for Expressivity, lower scores for Instrumentality, and with video orders beginning with high sex and violence. Ratings of sex and violence are associated with older viewers and lower scores for Instrumentality. For sex MVs, inexperienced viewers reported higher incidents and ratings. Because MVs tend to be sexier but less violent than TV and film, viewers may also use comparative media standards to evaluate emotional content MVs.

Utilizing a 2 (lyrics: present or absent) × 2 (images: present or absent) design, this study examined the unique effects of sexually degrading music videos and music lyrics on males’ aggressive behavior toward women, as well as males’ endorsement of rape myths and sexual stereotypes. Under the guise of a media memory study, 187 male undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. Despite the many psychological theories predicting an effect, the presentation of sexually degrading content in a visual or auditory medium (or combination thereof) did not significantly alter the participants’ aggression and self-reported endorsement of rape myths and sexual stereotypes. The null findings challenge the many corporate and governmental restrictions placed on sexual content in the media over concern for harmful effects.

ABSTRACT ‘Tanda Tanya (?)’ movie has become an Indonesian cinematic work with some controversies complement with it. The controversies lie on how the movie constructed their messages related to the description of Islamic image. The Islamic image which is depicted in this movie contains several sym- bols which created a demonization on the construction of Islam and Moslem. The narrative theory that has been employed focuses on greimas actantial analysis models which emphasizes on how the narrative creates a story and how the story becomes a narrative discourse. The semiotic analysis used on this research is in term of constructivist perspective which aims at constructing the phenomena as a whole answer. The result of the research is that demonization of Islam has been constructed through the narrative sequences of ‘Tanda Tanya’. The movie depicted Islam in an image of traditional, un- civilized, terrorism, destructive, and aggressive community. This created a meaning of Islam as a negative and demonic community, religion, and value. Keywords: demonization, Islam, narrative  ABSTRAK Film ‘Tanda Tanya (?)’ merupakan sebuah karya cinema Indonesia yang mengundang banyak kontroversi. Kontroversi terletak pada bagaimana film ini mengkonstruksikan pesan-pesannya terkait penggambaran citra Islam.
