Abstract

Advertisement does not only promote products but also conveys a message behind the promotion. One of the current trending concepts is femvertising. The initial purpose of femvertising is to fill the concept of advertising that uses pro-female talent, words, and images to empower women and girls. As a result, advertising has attracted more consumers and evolved into a movement aimed at selling more items to women rather than a genuine subversion and changing gender stereotypes. Lux is also one of the brands indicated to use the advertising concept, as in its advertisement "LUX Berani Cantik 30" (LUX Dare to be Beautiful 30). Following the advertising concept, this research explores how LUX represents feminist elements in its advertisement using the Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) theory by Machin and Mayr (2012) and a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings demonstrate that lexical and visual multi modal aspects indicate the interrelation of meaning between interconnected aspects. The resulting meaning in Lux ads reflects the interpretation of feminine women who dare to express their beauty in front of the public.

Abstract

Social media has changed the people perspective about beauty because it shapes beauty standard by giving exposure to particular body shape and skin tone. This research aims to investigate the ideology in the concept of beauty in local brand of skincare products in Indonesia via Instagram. Those two local brands are chosen because it shows how different ideologies are starting to be contested: “whiteness’ and ‘local’ beauty. This concept cannot be ignored because it is rooted in imperialism and colonialism. To reveal the ideology, this research began with the analysis of visual and verbal texts in Instagram posts from two official accounts, Kezia Skincare and Votre Peau. This case study uses Critical Discourse Theory proposed by Jäger & Maier and then supported by theories developed within social semiotics. The data in this research were collected by applying four steps adopted from Bezemer and Jewitt and in analyzing the data this research focuses on the discourse fragments to reveal the ideological statements. Linguistic and non-linguistic features are used intersemiotically to strengthen the message of ‘whiteness’ and ‘brightness’ beauty is within the customer reach. Although, one of beauty products has promoted the ‘local’ beauty, the consistency is still questioned because whiteness beauty ideology and the pan-Asian beauty still leaves the trace in representing the beauty thorough process types, metaphors, pathos and images.

Abstract

Background: As technology has advanced, educational tools have seen numerous transformations, notably the introduction of game-based platforms like Quizizz and Quizalize. Both media offer interactive approaches to improve learning outcomes. These media can be used in kindergarten learning, but there has been no study comparing their effectiveness in kindergartens in Bengkulu. Aims: To compare the effects of Quizalize and Quizizz media on children's learning outcomes. Methods: Quasi-experiment with 30 students (15 experimental class, 15 control class). Analysis using normality test, homogeneity test, t-test, and Normalized Gain (N-Gain). Results: There was no significant difference in the pre-test (p = 0.936), but the post-test showed a significant difference (p = 0.020). However, when compared based on N-Gain, there was no significant difference between the two media (p = 0.282). Conclusion: These findings indicate that both Quizalize and Quizizz are equally effective in improving children's learning outcomes. There are no statistical findings to support the superiority of either medium.

Abstract

This study examines the multimodal construction of Muslim women's image in Buttonscarves ads, drawing on both verbal and visual components. Four official Buttonscarves campaign videos comprise the study data. The verbal mode was examined using Halliday's (2014) Systemic Functional Linguistics theory, while the visual mode was investigated using Machin & Mayr's (2012) Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis method. While the verbal analysis addressed mood, modality, polarity, temporal deixis, and speech function, the visual analysis concentrated on salience, color, attributes, background, size, and tone. The findings demonstrate how the hijab and the figures of women are visually portrayed through aspirational metropolitan settings, warm, vibrant colors, upscale, high salience, and semi-formal apparel attributes. Modern Muslim women are portrayed as elegant, independent, professional, and of high social standing. In verbal communication, the prevalence of declarative mood, positive polarity, and the absence of imperative and interrogative forms suggest an affirmative communication style that does not allow for compromise. This multimodal result demonstrates the existence of a consumerist ideology of femininity grounded in contemporary religion, which frames the hijab as a sign of social class, lifestyle, and contemporary goals in addition to being a symbol of piety. Aspirational capitalism, spiritual capitalism, and religious postfeminism are all reflected in this portrayal, where empowerment is determined by style, consumerism, and visual performativity in accordance with market principles. According to this study, Buttonscarves' commercials not only offer goods but also create an ideology that balances consumerism, modernity, and spirituality in the representation of modern Muslim women. This article contributes to multimodal critical discourse analysis by integrating MCDA and systemic functional linguistics to demonstrate how verbal and visual modes interact to construct ideological meanings in premium hijab advertising. This domain remains largely underexamined in contemporary discourse studies.
