This study aims to analyze the denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings in the photojournalistic work titled "From Ancestors to Ancestors," which portrays the Ma’nene ritual of the Toraja Tribe. Using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method, the research identifies visual and textual signs in the photos to uncover the cultural messages conveyed. The unit of analysis consists of 5 out of 12 photos published on Antara Foto, selected based on their relevance to the study. The analysis is conducted in two stages: denotative meaning as a factual documentation of the ritual without alteration, and connotative meaning that represents respect, affection, and the spiritual beliefs of the Toraja community. The findings reveal that these photos not only serve as documentation but also as a medium to reinforce the cultural identity of the Toraja people. The myths depicted in the photos highlight the belief that caring for ancestral remains brings blessings and maintains connections with the spiritual realm. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/1/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_CP.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/4/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_02.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/5/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_03.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/6/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_04.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/7/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_05.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/8/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_Ref.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/9/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_Lamp.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/19/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_fulltext.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/47443/21/Reska%20Amelia_6662190122_01.pdf identifier: Amelia Fatikah, Reska (2025) REPRESENTASI BUDAYA TORAJA DALAM FOTO JURNALISTIK DI MEDIA MASSA ONLINE ANTARA FOTO (Analisis Semiotika model Rolland Barthes Pada Rubrik Foto Cerita "Ritual Ma’nene Suku Toraja Dari Leluhur Untuk Leluhur”).
