Abstract

This study analyzes the ethics of anthropocentrism contained in the animated film Princess Mononoke. The destruction of nature contained in the film is done by the antagonists, namely Miss Eboshi, Jiko-Bou, and their followers. The research method used is Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis which looks at three stages of significance, namely denotation, connotation, and myth. The stage of film analysis begins with identifying the form of oppression in the form of the selected scene, then the data is analyzed through the interpretation of denotative and connotative meanings to find myths. The results of this study indicate that this film represents the exploitation and ethics of anthropocentrism towards nature and the Shintoism gods who protect nature so that it triggers conflict between humans and the gods. The exploitation occurs because the antagonists want to conquer nature and the gods for personal interests and ambitions to gain profit and wealth without thinking about the ethics and moral status of nature, animals and non-humans in the film Princess Mononoke.Keywords: Anthropocentrism; Exploitation of nature; Animated Film; Princess Mononoke.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini menganalisis etika antroposentrisme yang terdapat dalam film animasi Princess Mononoke.
