The research uses descriptive - qualitative theory where primary data is intended as a reference that is tested, condensed and then classified. The research results show that of the 31 functions of narrative structure, the Nai Manggale folklore has nine functions, namely: The connective incident (B), First function of donor (D), Provision or receipt of magical agent (F), Recognition (Q) Exposure (Ex), Struggle (H), The initial misfortune or lack is liquid (K), Wedding (W), and Solution (S) Descriptive explanations were analyzed using Propp's scheme theory. The results of character studies in the Nai Manggale folklore were found to be as follows: Donor, Dispatcher and Princess. The conclusion of the research explains that the Nai Manggale folklore focuses on the main role of "Nai Manggale" which became the forerunner of the culture of deliberation and dancing in the Tapanuli area, North Sumatera.</p>2023-10-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://enigma.or.id/index.php/cultural/article/view/41The existence of Rimpu Culture in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia 2024-01-15T04:02:34+00:00Fitriyanti Fitriyantifitriyanti.spd@gmail.com<p>The Bima people are known for their distinctive style of clothing, known as Rimpu culture.

Social media, as one of the main platforms for pop culture, has become an effective means for distributing and consuming pop culture. However, the representation of pop culture on social media also often causes problems, such as discrimination, bias and hegemony. This study discusses the representation of pop culture on social media, especially in Indonesia. This study uses a cultural studies approach to analyze the representation of pop culture on social media. The results of the analysis show that the representation of pop culture on social media in Indonesia is still dominated by Western pop culture, and often causes problems, such as discrimination against local culture.</p>2024-01-17T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://enigma.or.id/index.php/cultural/article/view/48Analysis of Women's Representation in Indonesian Films2024-02-07T01:28:43+00:00Siti Aminah Putrisaputri@gmail.com<p>Film is a mass media that has a strong influence in shaping public perception. Representation of women in films can reflect the values and social norms that apply in society. This research aims to analyze the representation of women in Indonesian films. The method used is Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis model. Research data was obtained from three Indonesian films, namely "Marlina Si Pembunuh dalam Empat Babak", "Siti", and "Perempuan Berkalung Turban". The research results show that the representation of women in Indonesian films can be divided into two categories, namely: 1. Women as sexual objects. This representation shows women as weak, passive, and only as sexual objects. This can be seen in the film " Marlina Si Pembunuh dalam Empat Babak ", where Marlina is depicted as a weak woman who is a victim of rape. 2. Women as agents of change. This representation shows women as strong, independent, and able to act as agents of change. This can be seen in the films "Siti" and "Perempuan Berkalung Turban", where Siti and Annisa are depicted as female figures who dare to fight injustice and fight for women's rights.</p>2024-02-07T01:28:43+00:00Copyright (c)
