Perkembangan dunia perfilman Indonesia semakin beragam, termasuk hadirnya film-film pendek yang menyoroti isu sosial, salah satunya film pendek Alum produksi UNSTRAT UNY. Film Alum menampilkan realitas kehidupan perempuan dalam konteks budaya Jawa yang masih kental dengan praktik ketidaksetaraan gender. Dalam film tersebut digambarkan bagaimana perempuan mengalami berbagai bentuk subordinasi, baik melalui domestikasi peran, tekanan sosial, maupun relasi kuasa dalam ruang domestik. Berdasarkan fenomena tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan representasi subordinasi terhadap perempuan dalam film pendek Alum menggunakan analisis wacana kritis Sara Mills.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode analisis wacana kritis model Sara Mills yang menitikberatkan pada posisi subjek–objek penceritaan dan posisi penulis–pembaca. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan studi pustaka, serta diuji keabsahannya menggunakan triangulasi sumber. Data yang dianalisis berupa adegan, dialog, seting, serta tanda verbal dan nonverbal yang berkaitan dengan representasi subordinasi perempuan dalam film Alum. Setiap adegan dipilah dan ditelaah untuk melihat konstruksi makna, relasi kuasa, serta posisi perempuan dalam wacana yang dibangun.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa subordinasi perempuan dalam film Alum direpresentasikan melalui tiga temuan utama. Pertama, pada analisis posisi subjek–objek, tokoh perempuan (Ayu) lebih dominan diposisikan sebagai objek penceritaan perannya ditampilkan sebagai pihak yang mengalami subordinasi melalui pembatasan peran, pengabaian suara, ketergantungan, serta tekanan budaya dalam keluarga. Kedua, pada analisis posisi penulis–pembaca, film memosisikan penonton untuk menyadari ketidakadilan gender yang dialami perempuan serta mengarahkan pembacaan bahwa sistem patriarki masih berperan besar dalam menentukan posisi sosial perempuan. Ketiga, representasi subordinasi perempuan ditunjukkan melalui bentuk-bentuk domestikasi peran, beban ganda, pembatasan akses terhadap pengambilan keputusan, serta penempatan perempuan sebagai pihak yang selalu harus patuh terhadap nilai dan otoritas laki-laki. Dengan demikian, film Alum memberikan kritik terhadap masih kuatnya praktik subordinasi perempuan dalam kehidupan masyarakat sehari-hari.

ABSTRACT
Fakhirotuz Zahro Ns, Student ID 211211070. Representation of Subordination Against Women in the Short Film Alum on the Unstrat UNY YouTube Channel (Critical Discourse Analysis by Sara Mills). Thesis, Department of Islamic Communication and Broadcasting. Department of Da'wah and Communication. Faculty of Ushuluddin and Da'wah. Raden Mas Said State Islamic University Surakarta. 2025.
The Indonesian film industry is becoming increasingly diverse, including the emergence of short films that highlight social issues, one of which is the short film Alum produced by UNSTRAT UNY. The film Alum depicts the reality of women's lives in the context of Javanese culture, which is still steeped in gender inequality. The film illustrates how women experience various forms of subordination, whether through domesticated roles, social pressure, or power relations in the domestic sphere. Based on these phenomena, this study aims to describe the representation of subordination of women in the short film Alum using Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis.
This study uses a qualitative approach with Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis method, which focuses on the subject-object position of storytelling and the writer-reader position. Research data was obtained through observation, documentation, and literature study, and its validity was tested using source triangulation. The data analyzed consisted of scenes, dialogues, settings, and verbal and nonverbal signs related to the representation of female subordination in the film Alum. Each scene was sorted and examined to see the construction of meaning, power relations, and the position of women in the discourse that was constructed.
The results of the study show that the subordination of women in the film Alum is represented through three main findings. First, in the analysis of the subject-object position, the female character (Ayu) is predominantly positioned as the object of the narrative. Her role is portrayed as one of subordination through role restrictions, disregard for her voice, dependence, and cultural pressure within the family. Second, in the analysis of the writer-reader position, the film positions the audience to recognize the gender inequality experienced by women and directs the reading that the patriarchal system still plays a major role in determining women's social position. Third, the representation of women's subordination is shown through forms of domestication of roles, double burdens, restrictions on access to decision-making, and the placement of women as parties who must always obey male values and authority. Thus, the film Alum criticizes the continuing strength of the practice of women's subordination in everyday life.
