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.
