Abstract
This study discusses the analysis of culture shock and coping strategies depicted in the main character Xi in the film The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) directed by James Uys. This film is a comedy documentary that highlights the differences between tribal and modern life as very different sides. Xi as the main character has experienced various phases of culture shock after entering a modern environment from outside the Kalahari Desert where he lives. This study seeks to find out how culture shock occurs when Xi is a representation of primitive life interacting with people outside the tribe who are representatives of modern civilization, which then changes Xi's perspective on life through culture shock, as well as the coping strategies he experiences. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods to analyze films which are supported by primary and secondary data. Primary data were taken from film scripts, while secondary data were taken from e-journals, books, articles, and sites related to research. The data are in the form of sentences in the form of narratives, monologues, and dialogues which are explained through statements, quotations, and descriptions. From the research results, it is explained that Xi, experienced culture shock and used coping strategies to overcome it. First, Xi, as a member of Bushmen tribe, experienced the cultural differences between the Bushmen and modern civilization such as the physical characteristics of the people, the use of equipment such as motorized vehicles that had never been seen before, very different languages, and the people's habits such as hunting for food. Second, Xi went through four phases of culture shock, namely Honeymoon, Crisis, Recovery, and Adjustment. Third, Xi uses coping strategies in the form of problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping as steps to overcome the culture shock that occurred to him. Keywords: culture shock, coping strategies, primitive culture, modern culture.
