Abstract

This paper presents a demonstration of semiotic analysis with particular emphasis on those concepts which offer promise to cultural interpretation there is no pretense that it will be able to represent semiotics as that term is always used. It is assumed that most semioticians would agree, however, that semiotic theory offers the position that a wide variety of problems in modern inquiry, taken from a number of different disciplines, are actually special cases of one general set of problems: What is a sign? How does it work ? How can one use it ? One the commonalities among all these inquiries are recognized, a substantial bonus is realized: researchers from a variety of dicliplines who adopt a semiotic viewpoint become able to communicate across those disciplines and share valuable insights. This paper, in brief, is primaliry based on the assumption that semiotic approach, due to its multidiscipline characteristics, can be used to study the cultural phenomena like the Javanese theatrical wayang performance which was originated in the great literary epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana. For the sake of efficiency, the demonstration will be limited to the discussion of the punakawans.
