Abstract

Abstract Existentialist feminism highlights the importance of individual freedom and personal responsibility, and emphasizes women’s struggle in the domestic sphere. The Barbie film is the subject of this research because it can depict and educate about issues of gender equality and feminism to the audience, especially young girls, with strong characters and stories, and has become a symbol that has grown with society. This research aims to understand the ideas of existentialist feminism that are represented and visualized in the Barbie film according to John Fiske's semiotic analysis. The analysis found that this film shows the values of existentialist feminism primarily through aspects of costume, narrative, appearance, conflict, behavior, and music in certain scenes. The most frequently appearing value is supporting women's freedom in constructing themselves.Keywords: Feminism Film Barbie , Women.
