Sabila, Nadia (2012) Racial Prejudice and Discrimination against Jewish in America as Reflected in School Ties Movie. Sarjana thesis, Universitas Brawijaya.
Abstract
Prasangka dan diskriminasi rasial terhadap ras-ras tertentu sudah terjadi sejak dulu di dunia. Prasangka adalah suatu perasaan yang tidak berdasar pada pengalaman yang aktual dan berkaitan dengan diskriminasi, karena diskriminasi adalah wujud dari prasangka. Diskriminasi adalah suatu tindakan yang menyalahi konsep persamaan. Salah satu kasusnya adalah prasangka dan diskriminasi rasial terhadap kaum Yahudi karena Kaum Yahudi digolongkan sebagai ras yang menganut agama yang menyimpang dari ajaran Kristiani. Walaupun penolakan terhadap kaum Yahudi bermula dari Eropa, hal itu juga memiliki dampak terhadap kaum Yahudi di Amerika. Prasangka dan diskriminasi rasial yang dialami oleh kaum Yahudi di Amerika terefleksikan ke dalam sebuah film berjudul School Ties. Dalam film ini digambarkan seorang pemuda Yahudi Amerika yang mengalami prasangka dan diskriminasi rasial dari teman-temannya sendiri. Hal yang menarik dalam film ini adalah bagaimana suatu konflik muncul ketika masyarakat mengetahui bahwa ada seorang Yahudi di sekitar mereka. Stereotipe terhadap kaum Yahudi juga memiliki peran bagi seseorang untuk berprasangka. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan bagaimana kaum Non-Yahudi dan Anti Semit mereflesikan prasangka rasial dan diskriminasi terhadap kaum Yahudi di Amerika. Sinematografi, khususnya miseen- scene juga dipakai untuk mendukung analisis penulis mengenai film ini. Penulis menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi mengenai prasangka dan diskriminasi rasial dalam menganalisis David Greene, tokoh pemuda Yahudi dalam film ini. Puncak konflik terjadi saat munculnya pro dan kontra. Sebagian besar teman-teman David termasuk dalam golongan kontra Yahudi akibanya David mendapat perlakuan yang tidak adil. Film ini cenderung lebih sering menggunakan pengambilan gambar medium (medium shot) untuk menunjukkan dengan jelas kepada penonton bagaimana emosi dan ekspresi tokoh dalam film. Kesimpulannya, prasangka dan diskriminasi rasial terhadap kaum Yahudi di Amerika, tidak dapat dihindari. Selain itu, perlakuan masyarakat Amerika terhadap Yahudi pun bermacammacam. Sebagian pihak menolak dan pihak yang lain dapat menerima kaum Yahudi di lingkungan mereka. Terakhir, penulis menyarankan kepada peneliti selanjutnya untuk mengkaji lebih lanjut film ini menggunakan teori psikoanalisis, dekonstruksi, atau pendekatan sastra bandingan.
English Abstract
Racial prejudices and discriminations against race happened in the world since ancient time. Prejudice is a kind of feeling that is not based on actual experiences. It is related to discrimination because discrimination is unequal treatment as the acting out of prejudice. One of the racial prejudices and discrimination is against Jewish. Jewish belongs to a race which practices different type of religion from Christianity which makes them rejected. Although rejection against Jewish is begun from Europe, it also gives impact to Jewish in America. Prejudice and discrimination that are experienced by Jews in America is reflected in a film entitled School Ties which portrays a Jewish boy in America who is prejudiced and discriminated even by his friends. The interesting topic in this movie is how the conflict emerges in a society who realizes that there is a Jew around them. Jewish stereotypes have a role to affect prejudice to Jewish in America somehow. Therefore, this study intends to reveal how non-Jewish and the anti-Semitists reflect their racial prejudice and discrimination against Jewish in America. The reflection of those cases is also supported by movie study that focuses on mise en scene. The writer uses sociological approach of racial prejudice and discrimination in analyzing prejudice and discrimination against a character of Jewish boy named David Greene. Some people only prejudice and the others prejudice and discriminate. The manifestations of discrimination are even segregation and physical contact. David is asked to get out from the school and also often fighting with certain person to defend himself from the discrimination. The conflict reaches the climax when the pros and the cons appear. The racial prejudice and discrimination against David happen in his hometown and at his school significantly. This film is mostly using medium shot because it has important influence for the viewers to understand the expressions of the casts are and how their emotions are shown. In conclusion, being a Jew or minority in America is not easy due to inevitable racial prejudice and discrimination. American treatment toward Jewish is various; some of them reject and the others accept the Jewish. The last, the writer suggests for the next researchers to study further this film using the view of psychoanalysis, deconstructive, or comparative literature.
