Abstract

Violence against children in family settings is increasingly shifting from visible physical forms to more subtle non-physical and digitally mediated practices. Emotional neglect, verbal intimidation, and parental digital control are frequently normalized as discipline, despite their significant psychological consequences for children. This study examines the forms of non-physical and digital violence in parent–child relationships, analyzes the social factors driving this shift in violence patterns, and explores how symbolic meanings constructed through daily interactions shape differing perceptions of violence. Using a qualitative case study design grounded in the social definition paradigm and symbolic interactionism, this research was conducted in an urban residential area of Bengkulu City. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with 14 informants (parents and children aged 10–15), and documentation. The findings reveal that emotional, verbal, and digital violence dominate parent–child interactions, particularly through excessive monitoring, verbal threats, and unilateral restrictions on digital access. Parents interpret these practices as protective discipline, while children experience them as intimidation and distrust. Parental anxiety over digital risks, social pressure, and limited digital parenting literacy further contribute to the normalization of such practices. The study contributes to family sociology by conceptualizing digital control as a form of symbolic power, where authority is exercised not through physical force but through control over digital access and communication. It extends symbolic interactionism by demonstrating how digital infrastructure devices, messaging platforms, and internet access mediates the production and normalization of non-physical violence in everyday family interactions. These findings highlight the need to reconsider child protection and digital parenting frameworks to account for subtle forms of symbolic and relational violence within families.

Abstract

This study examines how custom, economic roles, and Islamic values shape the communication patterns of coastal women in Bengkulu City, Indonesia. It argues that women’s communication in coastal communities should be understood as a socially constructed and domain-specific practice rather than merely as a gendered speaking style. Using a qualitative approach with a focused ethnography design, the study was conducted in three coastal sub-districts: Malabero, Berkas, and Sumber Jaya. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document study involving 24 women, including fish traders, fishermen’s wives, seafood processors, and members of women’s fisher groups. The data were analyzed thematically. The results indicate that Melayu Bengkulu customary norms tend to shape women’s communication as careful, indirect, and oriented toward politeness in family and community forums. Economic roles in fish trading and seafood processing create more assertive communicative spaces, particularly in markets and household economic decision-making. Islamic values operate ambivalently by reinforcing norms of adab while providing moral legitimacy for women to speak, ask questions, and share experiences in majelis taklim. This study demonstrates that the communicative agency of coastal women is contextual, negotiated, and shaped by the forms of legitimacy available across customary, economic, and religious domains.
