Abstract

The increasing use of Jakartan slang among Generation Z has become a visible feature of youth communication in Indonesian university settings. While previous studies have examined the forms, meanings, and social functions of slang, less attention has been given to how slang shapes generational identity and affects the use of local languages in campus peer interaction. This study examines Jakartan slang as a generational identity marker among Generation Z students at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Negeri Semarang, and explores its implications for the reduced use of Javanese in selected peer interactions. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study draws on semi-structured interviews with 10 students, qualitative questionnaire responses from 10 Javanese-speaking students, and unstructured observation in campus-related settings. The data were analyzed thematically and interpreted through Social Identity Theory, particularly the concepts of social categorization, social identification, and social comparison. The findings show that Jakartan slang functions not only as an informal communicative style but also as a social resource through which students construct peer belonging, align themselves with modern youth culture, and distinguish their generation from older or more local linguistic repertoires. Among Javanese-speaking participants, Jakartan slang is used because it is perceived as practical, inclusive, socially current, and widely understood in multilingual peer groups. This practice may reduce the space for Javanese in certain informal campus interactions, although the findings do not indicate a general decline of Javanese at UNNES or in broader Javanese society. The study contributes to sociolinguistic discussions by showing that slang, local language use, and generational identity are closely connected through peer-group dynamics, digital culture, and the symbolic value attached to language in multilingual university contexts.

Abstract

Patriarchal resistance in popular media is often interpreted primarily as an individual struggle by female characters, leaving the role of interpersonal support within family relationships insufficiently examined. This study analyzes how resistance to patriarchy is represented through Oh Ae-Sun’s actions across her life course and how Yang Gwan-Sik’s support contributes to negotiating patriarchal expectations within the family in the Korean drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design using deductive qualitative content analysis of all 16 episodes. The data consisted of scenes, dialogue, actions, nonverbal expressions, and family interactions, which were analyzed through three structures adapted from Sylvia Walby’s theory: household production, culture institutions, and sexuality. The findings show that Ae-Sun’s individual resistance is most explicit in her persistence in maintaining her literary identity, challenging gendered exclusion from leadership, and supporting educational opportunities for her daughter. Her capacity to resist domestic and reproductive expectations is more constrained when patriarchal authority is exercised through the extended family. In these situations, Gwan-Sik’s relational support limits the enforcement of unequal domestic obligations and reproductive demands. The study concludes that private-sphere resistance is represented as a gradual and relational process involving women’s agency, supportive masculinity, negotiation of family authority, and intergenerational changes in gender values.
