Simulasi Mistik Dan Implosi Makna Religius Dalam Sinetron Rahasia Ilahi Pada Stasiun Televisi Tpi

Abstract

Simulation of mystic in mystical-religious ‘Rahasia Ilahi\u27 television movie, broadcastedby TPI, is the main focus of this article. Simulation is a thought from Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) about production of media text which does not have any reality background. Theoretically,a simulation ended when human, as the subject, has no control over sign, as the object,which in the end, the both merge and turn into a new reality. The merger of the subject and theobject mark the emergence of an implosion. Implosion is an inward explosion as a result of themerger of several thoughts through simulation practice. Mystical simulation in ‘Rahasia Ilahi\u27television movie could deliver a new and shallow meaning of religious because it had set offfrom the truth of text and reality as the context. The new meaning could be that the image ofGod is cruel. There could also be newmeaning of religiosity that faith is constructed by fear, notby the truth of the religious thought. Thereby, simulation had become dilemma because it hadtwo meanings. In one side, it is emancipative because it can deliver sharp critics toward thepeople of television industry who produce television programme which has no reality basis. Inthe other side, it has negative side because simulation ended with fatalism which is theoreticallyassumes that subject has no control over object. Pataphysically, this article would like to recommendthat subject should return to the power of imagination, rationality, and spirituality. Humanas the subject would never loose and cannot be defeated by any object because as khalifah,human should stand in the front line and leading history
