Institutional Repository UIN Sunan Kalijaga YogyakartaTHE PROPHET MUHAMMAD’S NARRATIVE IN LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962)NIM.: 20101050086Muhammad Aulia RahmanauthorThis study analyses the representation of Prophet Muhammad in the film Lawrence of Arabia (1962) through Stuart Hall's constructionist representation theory approach. This theory emphasises that meaning is not inherently produced by objects or characters, but rather constructed through language, culture, and prevailing social practices. Lawrence of Arabia, while not focusing directly on the figure of Prophet Muhammad, presents an image of Arab and Islamic culture influenced by the Western colonial context and Oriental stereotypes. In this case, representations of Arabia and Islam, including symbols related to Prophet Muhammad, are constructed through colonial perspectives that are often inaccurate and biassed. As such, the film creates a narrative that represents the Arab world and its important figures, including Prophet Muhammad, through a Western lens. Through constructionist representational analysis, this research shows how the film asserts the dominance of colonial discourse while borrowing Arab religious and cultural symbols to support Western narratives. In addition, the representation of Arabia and Islam in this film shows how the depiction of religious symbols, including those related to the Prophet Muhammad, can be part of a broader social and political practice, namely cultural imperialism and the influence of colonialism in Western media.823.09 Analisis - Kesusastraan Inggris2025-01-23UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ADAB DAN ILMU BUDAYAThesis
