REPRESENTASI KELAS SOSIAL DALAM MASYARAKAT INDIA (ANALISIS SEMIOTIKA ROLAND BARTHES FILM THE WHITE TIGER 2021)

---

Film is a form of visual art that can shape public perceptions of various aspects of life, including social and cultural issues. The White Tiger, directed by Ramin Bahrani, presents a strong depiction of social class inequality within the context of Indian society. This inequality is represented not only through the narrative structure but also through visual symbols, dialogue, and social relations among characters that are rich in ideological meaning. This study aims to provide an overview and to analyze the representation of social class in the film The White Tiger. The research employs Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis, which examines denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings in selected scenes of the film. This analysis is supported by Max Weber’s theory of social class, which categorizes society into social classes based on three dimensions: class (privilege), status (prestige), and power (party). The findings indicate that the class (privilege) dimension related to economic aspects is the most dominantly represented dimension in portraying social class in the film compared to the dimensions of status and power. Through this study, The White Tiger is understood as a form of social criticism of social class inequality, as well as a cultural reflection that reveals how class ideology operates subtly through film as a medium. Keywords: Semiotics, Social Class, Film, The White Tiger, Indian Society
