Digital Resistance in Local Technology Communities:
A Semiotic Analysis
This article aims to analyze the local community's resistance to technology using semiotic techniques. Semiotic analysis will be used to investigate how the symbols, signs, and meaning that emerge in local technological communities serve as representations of resistance to global technological dominance. Using the example of an open-source community in Indonesia, such as BlankOn Linux, this article will examine how this community develops technology through local innovation, as viewed through a semiotic lens.
