PERGESERAN NILAI-NILAI ISLAM DALAM CERITA ALADDIN; PERBANDINGAN “ARABIAN NIGHTS” DAN FILM ANIMASI DISNEY
Abstract
This study compares the folktale “The Story of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp” from the Arabian Nights, and the animated film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation under the title “Aladdin” (1992). The story of Disney’s animated film “Aladdin” is based on the “The Story of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.” The comparison of the two is focused on the aspect of Islamic values, its shifts and changes in the animated film Aladdin. The study applies Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, by applying the three stages of analysis. The first level is micro level, on the language practice. In the second level, mezo level, discusses the discourse practice that covers the intertextuality that explore the production and consumption of text as the reference in delivering the ideas. In the third level, macro level, it interprets the social context of particular events. The finding shows that there is a change of discourse of Islamic value which is strongly expressed in the origiinal Aladdin story of “Arabian Nights” especiallly the important role of family. On the other hand, in the animated film Aladdin, remove the discourse of Islamic value and change it into the discourse of freedom.
