Abstract

Alangkah Lucunya Negeri Ini (ALNI) describe social problems about street children that occur in Indonesia. The film attempts to construct street children as marginalized groups, through discourses on social discrimination, verbal and non-verbal violence, and the role of crime. The role shown by street children in the ALNI film provides a reflection related to the lives of former street children in the past. Former street children are in a marginalized position and get negative stigma in social interaction.. The purpose of this study is to see, understand, and explore how former street children response, expression, comment, or interpret meaning in watching the ALNI film played by the street child. This study uses the reception method proposed by Stuart Hall, namely the concept of dominant hegemony, negotiation, and opposition. The results showed that in addition to the appearance of pleasure in watching through the comedy genre in film, pleasure also displayed distortions due to verbal and non-verbal violence displayed in the ALNI film. The element of pleausure in the watch activity is done by expressing happiness, sadness, and frustration when watching a film. Some informants explained the film's presence as a form of effort to boost the development of the lives of street children and as a motivation for street children to put awareness of the educational and religious construction contained in the film. However, the construction of crime aimed at street children in the film also creates ambivalence and contradiction, as a result of the experience of society stigma that is increasingly inherent in the lives of street children. The construction of the film in building the role of street children also provides personal closeness in remembering street children who were present in life in the past.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how media construct and frame mining issues, and how the relationship between power and knowledge plays a role in that process. Using Michel Foucault’s theory of power/knowledge, this paper offers a critical framework to understand how media shape public knowledge about mining and how power operates through media to direct discourse around the mining industry. Foucault’s concept of power and knowledge contributes to a new way of understanding social realities in modern society—where power is no longer viewed solely as repressive or authoritarian, but as something productive, dispersed, and embedded within social structures and interactions. In this context, media construction of mining issues is not merely about objective information delivery, but is shaped through social processes and power relations. Knowledge is produced through the interaction of media, government, and mining companies, often by highlighting the perceived benefits of mining activities. However, local media with pro-community perspectives can also expose the environmental and social risks of mining operations. In contemporary society, environmental issues must be critically examined through the lens of Foucault’s theory of power/knowledge,as environmental damage carries profound implications for social change. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of a more holistic and critical approach in analyzing how media contribute to the construction of environmental discourse in the context of mining.
