Abstract

This study aims to analyze how school-aged mascot buskers in Palopo City construct, perform, and negotiate their social identities as both students and street entertainers. The research employed a qualitative approach grounded in Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with seven mascot busker children, and documentation involving school-enrolled child mascot buskers in Palopo City. The findings reveal that the social lives of these children are organized through a clear separation between front-stage and back-stage spaces. Public spaces function as the front stage, where an entertaining persona is produced through costume, bodily performance, and impression management, while school and family settings serve as the backstage, where their student identity is preserved. The mascot costume was found to serve a dual function: as a means of economic production and as a mechanism for protecting social identity. The findings further indicate that identity negotiation is consciously managed through the separation of time, space, and audiences in order to avoid stigma from the school environment. Theoretically, this study extends Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective to the context of informal child workers who remain actively engaged in formal education, demonstrating that visual symbols function not only to construct impressions but also to safeguard the continuity of social identity. Practically, the findings underscore the importance of school support systems and public space policies that are more responsive to children from informal working families.

Abstract

The presence of niqab-wearing female students in higher education settings reflects diverse social dynamics, particularly in terms of academic community perceptions and the social interactions that develop around them. This study aims to analyze academic community perceptions of niqab-wearing female students, the factors influencing the adoption of the niqab, and the construction of religious identity within the academic environment of UIN Palopo. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research participants were purposively selected from members of the academic community, including students, niqab-wearing female students, and university representatives. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon under investigation. The findings indicate that academic community perceptions of niqab-wearing female students tend to be positive and inclusive, although some negative perceptions remain, particularly concerning limitations in social interaction. The adoption of the niqab is influenced by internal factors, such as religious motivations and the desire for self-preservation, as well as external factors, including the social environment and educational background. Furthermore, wearing the niqab represents a religious identity constructed through a process of social construction involving the externalization, objectivation, and internalization of religious values.
