The research method used is qualitative and refers to the theory developed by Charles Sanders Peirce. The data collection process was carried out through in-depth observation of the symbolic elements in the films that were the object of research. A qualitative approach provides the opportunity for researchers to holistically understand the context and significance of these symbols in the film narrative. Thus, this research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the role and meaning of symbols in a cinematic context and how these symbols contribute to the audience's experience in capturing the messages and stories conveyed by films.This research was aimed to explain the symbol and meaning in Enrico Casarosa's animated film Luca (2021) and to describe the function of symbols in the film. There were five symbols found in the film; Vespa represented freedom, friendship and solidarity; Sea and land represented the zone of comfort but limited and challenging life; Umbrella represented the identity add protection; Trophy represented victory; Sea monster represented fear and prejudice.  \nKeywords: symbol, meaning, Luca, animated film  \nINTRODUCTION  \nHumans are known as living creatures who adapt and communicate with their environment through symbols. The existence of symbols in life is so important that it is studied by many experts who discuss symbols from various complex paradigms. Research on symbols is increasingly developing in cultural studies because symbols have a significant role in describing social and cultural phenomena. Symbols can reflect special norms, values, or meanings in a particular community or culture. By analyzing these symbols, semiotics academics can gain a deeper understanding of social interactions and cultural dynamics in society.  \nSymbols, as representations that carry special meaning and are agreed upon by a community or culture, can be words, symbols, or images used to convey ideas, concepts, or messages. The use of symbols involves social agreements or conventions that make them understandable to group members.  \nFerdinand de Saussure, a linguistics expert, considered symbols to be part of a linguistic sign system, deriving their meaning through differences with other symbols in the system. Charles Sanders Peirce, philosopher and semiotician, developed the concept of symbols as a type of sign in a wider system, with conventional properties whose meaning depends on social agreement. Peirce's relevant work covers the period from 1867 to 1913.  \nFerdinand de Saussure, in Kaelan's view (2009: 160), emphasized that semiotic theory discusses the important role of signs as an inseparable element of social life. According to Saussure, semiotics is a branch of science that examines the contribution of signs within the framework of society.  \nOn the other hand, Charles Sanders Peirce, as explained by Kaelan (2009: 163), defines semiotics as a scientific discipline that examines the complex interactions between signs, the objects they represent, and the meaning that emerges in the semiotic process.  \nPeirce's approach highlights the significance of understanding how signs interact with objects and how meaning is formed through this process.  \nLuca is an animated film that tells the adventures ofa sea monster named Luca, who can change into human form when on land. He befriends another sea monster named Alberto, and both dream of exploring the human world. However, their adventure is full of obstacles, especially when dealing with human prejudice and fear of","cbCaiopmJzxRhae5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiopmJzxRhae5","pdf",856044,11,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Symbols and Semiotics\n## The Film Luca\n## Symbol Focus in Luca","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this research on Luca?\",\"answer\":\"The research aims to explain the symbols and their meanings in Enrico Casarosa’s animated film Luca and describe the function of those symbols in the film.\"},{\"question\":\"What method and theory does the study use?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses a qualitative approach and refers to the theory developed by Charles Sanders Peirce for semiotic analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"Which symbols are identified in Luca and what do they represent?\",\"answer\":\"Five symbols are identified: Vespa (freedom, friendship, solidarity), sea and land (comfort zone but limited and challenging life), umbrella (identity and protection), trophy (victory), and the sea monster (fear and prejudice).\"}]","ANALYSIS OF SYMBOLS IN ENRICO CASAROSA’S LUCA ANIMATED MOVIE - 5 Symbols Study | PDF",28]
