Abstract

This research aims at investigating a short movie, The Disguise (2019), on how minority lives their life in the middle of the majority. The various perspectives from the readers’ point of view about why the majority express Islamophobic behaviour towards minorities are of importance because the readers’ interpretations and constructions of the islamophobia portrayed in the movie reflect the collective structure of how islamophobia is produced and reproduced. This research employs the ethnographic method (qualitative interview) as the primary data collection as a reader response approach. The encoding-decoding theory of Stuart Hall supports this research. Three respondents were chosen based on their differences in nationalities (Germans, French, and Indonesian), but they shared one value in common; Islam. Therefore, the differences in socio-cultural values are considered crucial in viewing islamophobia. The researchers found that despite the image construction of Islam in the Western media, the respondents share a similar belief that the phenomena of islamophobia occur in a vast majority of non-muslim societies. In addition, from the interviews, the respondents believe that, like the story in the movie, the majority have very little understanding of Islam, which is perceived as odd or unrecognized because the identity of Muslims has the opposite character from the majority of people in their countries. Furthermore, the respondents believe that the hatred that causes islamophobia comes from a pre-knowledge which causes a collective trauma. Last but not least, all respondents agree that islamophobia in their society is not a fear of Islam as a religion or Muslim as their adherents, but it is a fear of terrorists or radical or extreme right groups.
