Representation Of the Climate Crisis in The Lyrics of “Telan” by FSTVLST

Daffa Gilbran Amaranggana — 2025-03-29

This study aimed to determine the message of the climate crisis in the lyrics of the song Telan by FSTVLST. The drastic changes in weather patterns, with the average world temperature increasing, accompanied by the emergence of extreme impacts such as floods, droughts, and rising sea levels, have attracted the world's attention. The community has felt issues related to the climate crisis, but the lack of awareness to reduce or prevent the occurrence of the climate crisis is still relatively passive. The song Telan tells about the conditions, especially in urban areas at this time, so that later it will provide us with awareness of how important it is to maintain the balance of nature. In conducting the study, the author used a descriptive qualitative method, using the Roland Barthes semiotic analysis approach using several main points, namely the meaning of denotation, connotation, and ideology in finding out the meaning of the message delivery in the form of social criticism in the FSTVLST song entitled Telan. It can be concluded that humans are the main cause of the climate crisis on earth with their actions that harm nature through the lyrics of the song Telan written by FSTVLST using metaphorical language.

Persepsi Mahasiswa Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga terhadap Kasus Kekerasan Seksual di Lingkungan Kampus

Muthia Meilani — 2025-03-29

Sexual violence is a serious problem that has not been resolved optimally. In 2024, the number of sexual violence cases in Indonesia reached 25,314 cases, of which 1,548 of them occurred in the campus environment. Therefore, this problem must be addressed immediately by all universities, including UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. As a religious-based higher education institution, UIN Sunan Kalijaga is responsible for upholding morals and creating a safe environment for the entire academic community. However, in reality, this has not been realized optimally. This raises a big question regarding the extent of students' understanding of this issue. Therefore, a study of this issue is important because students are one of the groups that are very vulnerable to sexual violence. The purpose of this study is to identify the perceptions of UIN Sunan Kalijaga students towards cases of sexual violence in the campus environment. This research uses a survey method by distributing questionnaires through Google Forms with 100 respondents from 21,682. The theory used in this research is the Theory of Public Identification (STP). Based on the results of the TCR test show that respondents have a high awareness of the issue of sexual violence, and most respondents also understand the importance of preventing and handling this issue. However, there is also a gap in reporting this issue.
