Abstract

This research aimsto get the understanding of the representation and dynamics of gendered power relation in the film "Death on the Nile" (2022), by focusing on the social roles and norms that influence the gender relation among characters. The research applied Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) which enabled us to go deeper on the power relation of the characters. The CDA framework consists of the comprehensive analysis, from the micro (text), mezzo (production),and macro (social context) analysis that can be applied in analysis of the film. The results have proven that gendered power relations in this film were depicted through the power in marriage relationship, where the concepts of control and ownership reflected the social norms of the society. Power in love relationship also play an important role in relationship dynamics, highlighting how strong feelings and dependency can influence the social practice. In addition, power in parent-children relationship can continue even after children become adults. These findings provided a foundation for further research on the representation of gender-based power relations in film, taking into account the other aspects such as the social, economic, and cultural factors that influenced gender representation.
