Abstract

This study is a qualitative case study examining the representation of disability in digital media, focusing on the inaugural episode of Clash of Mutants on YouTube. Grounded in Communication Studies and Representation Theory, as well as the social model of disability, this study analyzes how meaning is constructed through dark comedy. It hypothesizes that the use of the label mutants within dark comedy creates ambivalent meanings, simultaneously enabling inclusive representation while reinforcing stigma. This research applies a qualitative case study design. The data consist of one episode analyzed through qualitative content analysis of visual and narrative elements, supported by 100 audience comments explored using sentiment analysis. The main outcomes include forms of representation, narrative framing, and audience reception toward inclusive representation in digital communication. The findings reveal ambivalence: persons with disabilities are presented as active subjects in digital entertainment yet framed through stereotypes of incapacity. The contrast between formal competition aesthetics and disabled bodies opens space for inclusive representation while reproducing stigma through dark comedy. Audience reception is dominated by hegemonic-dominant readings, with viewers emphasizing entertainment over critical reflection, thereby normalizing the mutants label. These findings align with prior studies on humor’s dual role as critique and marginalization. In conclusion, this case study highlights the complexity of dark comedy in shaping inclusive representation. Theoretically, it integrates representation, humor, and reception studies; practically, it informs more ethical and participatory content strategies.

Abstract

This article examines deterrence methods in current Chinese military parades, concentrating on their use as power shows, political symbols, and international diplomacy. Military parades are viewed not just as official ceremonies, but as an essential component of defense strategy and political communication. By displaying current defense equipment like as hypersonic missiles, air defense systems, and advanced military technology, China presents a convincing message of military capacity to both domestic and international audiences. This represents two types of deterrence: punishment (the danger of damaging retaliation) and denial (the ability to prevent an opponent's attack). In addition to their outward function, military parades have a significant domestic political component. Parades promote the legitimacy of Xi Jinping's leadership and the Chinese Communist Party by telling a story of national awakening (the China Dream), instilling collective pride and strengthening social solidarity. Internationally, parades elicit varied reactions: Western countries are cautious and see them as an indication of military expansion, whereas Global South countries see them as a symbol of the development of non-Western powers. This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical methodology, with a literature review as the data gathering method. According to the research findings, Chinese military parades serve three purposes: strategic deterrent, a domestic political symbol, and a symbolic diplomatic weapon. These findings suggest that military parades play an important role in comprehending modern defense policy, political legitimacy, and regional and global security dynamics.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to find out how human rights institutions play a role in maintaining and protecting community rights, especially in the context of forestry. The background of this activity stems from the fact that PUSPA HAM, as an institution that focuses on human rights issues in Southeast Sulawesi, is an appropriate destination to understand how forestry and human rights issues are interrelated. This activity involved observation, interviews, discussions, questions and answers and lectures as well as assistance from the PKM team. The results showed that PUSPA HAM has several activities that are effective in addressing human rights issues in Southeast Sulawesi. These activities include human rights education for the community, advocacy for human rights violations, monitoring and evaluation of human rights implementation in Southeast Sulawesi. In carrying out its activities, PUSPA HAM Southeast Sulawesi has shown a strong commitment to fighting for the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. It has become one of the leading human rights organizations in Southeast Sulawesi. This activity involves collaboration between universities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government agencies, including PUSPA HAM (Center for Strengthening and Protecting the Rights of Indigenous and Local Communities), WALHI, and the Forestry Service. This collaboration aims to increase awareness and understanding of human rights in Southeast Sulawesi. PUSPA HAM faces challenges in gaining support from the government. The government has policies that do not support human rights in Southeast Sulawesi. In the face of these challenges PUSPA HAM has shown a strong commitment to fighting for the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.
