Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between the East and the West in addressing the issue of stereotypes in the film Merindu Cahaya de Amstel. This film is of particular interest for analysis and research because it tells the story of a Dutch woman who converts to Islam and begins wearing the hijab. Her experience of wearing the hijab in a predominantly non-Muslim Western society presents a unique religious experience. This phenomenon can open the door to a critical examination of stereotypes that have long been entrenched and have been constructed, shaped, maintained, and challenged in Western society. This study will discuss the forms of stereotypes depicted in the film Merindu Cahaya de Amstel and how the film challenges the stereotypes presented within it. This study employs a qualitative methodology. The data consist of film narratives, dialogue, and documentary footage. The data obtained were then analyzed using the concepts of stereotypes, representations, and the process of meaning-making. This study draws on Stuart Hall’s theory of stereotypical representation, specifically the reflective and constructionist approaches, with a particular focus on stereotypes. The results of this study indicate that the film Merindu Cahaya de Amstel not only serves as a form of entertainment and addresses stereotypes about women who wear the hijab in the West, transforming perceptions of women who wear the hijab. Initially, the hijab was viewed as a symbol of backwardness, underdevelopment, and oppression, but this film seeks to reverse that perception. The film portrays the hijab as an identity, a conscious choice, and a spiritual symbol that empowers the main character. While Islam was often perceived as closed-minded and irrational, the film instead depicts it as a path in the search for the meaning of life. By utilizing Stuart Hall’s theory of representation, Max Müller’s views on religious prejudice, and Entman’s framing theory, this study demonstrates that film can serve as a medium to challenge and transform these stereotypes, open up spaces for intercultural dialogue, and foster new understanding between the East and the West.
