KEKERASAN SIMBOLIK DI RANAH MEDIA (Analisis Kasus Tayangan Media Televisi Pada Anak) SHOWING OF SIMBOLIC VIOLENCE ON MEDIA DOMAIN (Case Analysis of Television Media Impressions on Chidren)

Abstract

Abstrak

Kajian ini memokuskan bahasannya pada fenomena kekerasan simbolik media televisi dan dampaknya terhadap perilaku kekerasan anak. Analisis kajian menggunakan empat perspektif teoritis: teori kekerasan simbolik Bourdieu, teori konstruksi sosial Berger dan Luckmann, teori kecemasan kepribadian Horney, dan teori penanaman/efek media Gerbner. Kekerasan simbolik merupakan gejala khas media, berupa relasi komunikasi yang timpang dan hegemonik di antara dua pihak. Kekerasan simbolik melekat dalam setiap bentuk tindakan dan struktur kognisi individu, dan memaksakan legitimasi pada tatanan sosial. Kekerasan simbolik mengandung makna, logika, dan keyakinan yang bias, tetapi secara halus dan samar dipaksakan untuk ditayangkan sebagai hal yang lumrah. Temuan kajian menunjukkan: tayangan televisi yang mengandung unsur kekerasan simbolik sangat berbahaya bagi pembentukan sikap dan perilaku anak.

Kata kunci: Kekerasan simbolik, konstruksi media, tayangan televisi, dampak perilaku anak.

Abstract

This study focuses its discussion on the phenomenon of symbolic violence in television media and its impact on children's violent behavior. The analysis uses four theoretical perspectives: Bourdieu's theory of symbolic violence, Berger and Luckmann's social construction theory, Horney's theory of personality anxiety, and Gerbner's media cultivation/effects theory. Symbolic violence is a typical symptom of the media, in the form of unequal and hegemonic communication relations between two parties. Symbolic violence is embedded in every form of individual action and cognition structure, and imposes legitimacy on the social order. Symbolic violence contains meaning, logic, and biased beliefs, but is subtly and vaguely forced to be presented as normal. The findings of the study show: television shows that contain elements of symbolic violence are very dangerous for the formation of children's attitudes and behavior.
