Abstract

This study examines the representation of urban culture in student photography showcased in the "Warna-Warni Jakarta" exhibition as a visual medium rich in social and symbolic meanings. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and case study method with Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis, this research aims to identify the visual elements used by students, interpret the implied cultural meanings, and understand young people's perspectives in interpreting the realities of Jakarta. Data were collected through direct observation of the exhibited works, in-depth interviews with student photographers and visitors, and visual documentation. The findings reveal that student photography does not merely present aesthetic beauty, but also voices social criticism, displays community solidarity, and reflects inequality within urban society. Through visual symbols such as street murals, cramped spaces, and citizen activities, students construct an inclusive and reflective cultural narrative. In this context, photography serves as an effective and strategic tool of cultural communication that contributes to shaping the collective consciousness of urban dwellers.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how digital identity is represented and developed into personal branding on Facebook, and how these practices relate to information resilience and the socio-cultural dimension of national resilience. Method: A qualitative single-case study supported by a virtual ethnographic approach was conducted on Awan Gunawan’s Facebook account. Data were generated through prolonged online observation, digital documentation, and in-depth interviews, then analysed using Cyber Media Analysis across media space, media archive, media object, and experience. Findings: Awan Gunawan’s digital identity develops through three interrelated phases: a failed entrepreneur who refuses to give up, a happy noodle seller, and a fortunate and inspiring figure. Across these phases, perseverance, humility, humour, family orientation, spirituality, and social concern remain recognisable. Personal branding develops through distinctiveness, relevance, and consistency, reinforced by reciprocal interaction between self-representation and audience recognition. Implications: Credible, consistent, and socially connected digital communication can strengthen trust, shared meaning, and community cohesion. These findings are relevant to information resilience and the socio-cultural dimension of national resilience, although the relationship is indirect and contextual rather than causal. Originality: This study extends personal branding research by showing how a non-celebrity individual develops public recognition through long-form autobiographical narratives on Facebook and by linking identity construction, audience recognition, and personal branding with information resilience and socio-cultural resilience.
