NILAI KEMANUSIAAN DALAM PUISI @POETICADENI (KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA RIFFATERRE)

Abstract

This study identifies humanistic values in three poems by Denise Sylvia Kuchta from the Instagram account @poeticadeni. The analysis employs Michael Riffaterre's semiotic approach (heuristic and hermeneutic readings) and Erich Fromm's humanism theory to interpret aspects of love, freedom, creativity, and responsibility in modern human life. Findings indicate that these poems not only offer linguistic aesthetics but also convey profound messages about self-acceptance, the courage to embrace change, and the importance of living a meaningful life. Through metaphors, symbols, and a reflective language style, the poems reveal humanistic meanings relevant across cultures and generations. This study concludes that literary works on social media hold significant potential as a medium for existential expression and can be academically analyzed.
