Abstract

Background: Indonesian regional identity is increasingly mediated through vernacular typography across tourism branding, heritage signage, vendor lettering, packaging, murals, and public visual systems, yet typography is still often treated as ornament rather than as a political medium of spatial visibility. Objective: This study examines how vernacular typography performs locality, organizes regional legibility, and negotiates heritage, commerce, institutional authority, and everyday visual practice in Indonesian public and semi-public design contexts. Method: This study applies qualitative multimodal content analysis, visual semiotics, and linguistic landscape analysis to 17 publicly verifiable typographic artifacts drawn from official sources, scholarly documentation, tourism communication, cultural signage, market lettering, craft-based type design, and regional visual identity materials. Results: First, standardized visual identity systems appear as this most frequent pattern, showing how locality is increasingly stabilized through logos, guidelines, packaging systems, and typographic rules. Second, spatial visibility is distributed between institutional authority and market or platform circulation, indicating that regional identity is produced through both official and everyday channels. Third, mediation occurs mainly through institutional branding and heritage memory, revealing typography as both cultural preservation and commodifiable identity code. Implication: This study demonstrates that vernacular typography functions as a semiotic infrastructure through which Indonesian locality becomes visible, mobile, and politically negotiated. Novelty: This study advances vernacular typography research by integrating typographic form, spatial authority, and regional identity mediation within one analytical framework.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s poverty-policy discourse increasingly translates inequality into administrative categories, yet less is known about how welfare keywords govern public understandings of poverty, responsibility, and deservingness. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian welfare discourse constructs poverty as a policy object through recurring keywords, moral-economy frames, and discursive-governance mechanisms. Method: Using a corpus-assisted critical discourse design, this study analyses 31 public and verifiable documents comprising official policy texts, statistical communications, academic sources, and contextual media or institutional materials. Results: Welfare vocabulary is dominated by targeting, data integration, social assistance, poverty reduction, empowerment, vulnerability, and inequality, showing that poverty is linguistically stabilized before it becomes administratively actionable. Results: Moral-economy framing positions poor citizens simultaneously as vulnerable beneficiaries, verifiable recipients, and productive subjects expected to move toward self-reliance. Results: Discursive governance operates through datafication, beneficiary selection, institutional coordination, delivery accountability, risk protection, and developmental inclusion. Implication: These findings suggest that welfare language is not secondary communication about policy but part of policy governance itself. Novelty: This study contributes a tripartite analytical model that integrates keyword mapping, moral-economy analysis, and governance coding to explain how inequality is talked into policy in Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Indonesian social media toxicity detection remains difficult because harmful meaning is often produced through profanity, indirectness, ridicule, code-mixing, identity reference, and culturally situated politeness rather than through abusive vocabulary alone. Objective: This study examines how toxicity, politeness, and cultural pragmatics interact in Indonesian social media NLP annotation and asks what contextual evidence is required to distinguish abuse, hate speech, satire, criticism, and banter. Method: Using 60 anonymised Indonesian Twitter/X items from a public multi-label hate speech and abusive-language corpus, this study applies a mixed computational-pragmatic design combining source labels with manual interpretation of target, severity, facework, contextual validation, and risk. Results: Findings show that toxicity classes are evenly distributed, but target, domain, and severity differentiate surface abuse from identity-targeted harm. Facework cues such as direct address, laughter, ridicule, and abusive labels appear unevenly across toxicity classes, demonstrating that politeness and impoliteness cannot be inferred from lexical toxicity. Cultural-pragmatic coding shows that religion, ethnicity, gender, platform traces, political indexing, and local-language ambiguity require contextual validation before model outputs can be treated as reliable. Implication: Indonesian NLP moderation should combine classification with pragmatic annotation. Novelty: This study reframes toxicity detection as culturally grounded, target-aware, and pragmatically validated harm interpretation.
Silence, hesitation, and legal meaning: interpreting non-fluent speech in Indonesian evidentiary discourse M. Rifa Jamaludin Nasir

Abstract

Background: Indonesian evidentiary discourse assigns legal weight to spoken testimony, yet silence, hesitation, and other non-fluent speech forms often enter legal reasoning as signs to be interpreted rather than as ordinary communicative variation. Objective: This study examines how silence, hesitation, and non-fluent speech become meaningful inside Indonesian evidentiary documents, and how such meanings are institutionally taken up in legal reasoning. Method: This study applies a qualitative corpus-assisted discourse design, combining forensic pragmatics, courtroom discourse analysis, and credibility-discourse analysis, to a structured corpus of public evidentiary documents, procedural materials, and scholarly context sources. Results: Non-fluent speech is most often represented as a legally noticed absence of response, dominated by silence as non-answer, hesitation, and memory-related uncertainty. These forms are attached to legal meanings such as evidentiary uncertainty, procedural clarification, and credibility reservation, which are then routed institutionally through judicial evidentiary evaluation, courtroom procedural management, and investigative-record narration. Implication: This study argues that silence and hesitation should not be treated as self-evident indicators of deception, guilt, or unreliability, since their evidentiary force is produced through institutional uptake rather than inherent meaning. Novelty: This study offers an integrated discourse-based framework linking non-fluent speech representation, attributed legal meaning, and institutional uptake pathways in Indonesian evidentiary discourse.
Ghosts of the new order: haunting, historical denial, and the politics of unfinished justice in Indonesian fiction M. Rifa Jamaludin Nasir

Abstract

Background: Post-authoritarian Indonesia remains marked by unresolved memories of New Order violence, where official acknowledgement has not fully addressed cultural silence, stigma, disappearance, and deferred justice. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian fiction represents haunting, historical denial, and unfinished justice as interrelated narrative structures rather than separate thematic concerns. Method: Using qualitative close reading, episode-based coding, spectral motif analysis, denial–archive mapping, and ethical witnessing analysis, this study analyzes selected Indonesian novels and short fiction alongside scholarly and contextual materials. Results: Findings show that spectral return is concentrated in absent bodies, recurring memories, haunted spaces, fractured testimony, material traces, inherited stigma, and suspended mourning. Historical denial appears through euphemistic displacement, silenced testimony, missing archives, stigmatized identity, managed forgetting, displaced blame, and premature reconciliation. Unfinished justice is represented through refusal of closure, ethical witnessing, family recognition, delayed truth, postmemory inheritance, failed return, and moral indictment of impunity. Implication: This study argues that Indonesian fiction functions as a critical archive of cultural memory without being reduced to legal evidence or historical documentation. Novelty: This study advances post-authoritarian literary criticism by reading haunting as a methodological lens for connecting archival absence, narrative disturbance, and the politics of unfinished justice in Indonesian fiction.
