Abstract

Many things change in society as a result of being influenced by technology, one of which is social movements. Increasingly sophisticated technology can drive or present social movements in society. Based on these conditions, this article examines the existence of technology that can produce a social movement in society. In addition, this article uses social solidarity theory; mechanical and organic Durkheim, with a view to seeing the solidarity that appears in social movements in the digital era. This article uses a qualitative research method with a narrative research approach. The result is that social movements in the digital era only prioritize mechanical solidarity, without ensuring equal distribution of awareness of the individuals or groups involved. On the other hand, a social movement in the digital era requires organic solidarity to be able to maximize the goals of social movements.

Abstract

Zines are grassroots publications that have long served as media of cultural and political resistance, traditionally circulated in material form within relatively small and tightly bound communities. With the advent of the internet, however, the scope and visibility of zines have expanded well beyond spatial and temporal boundaries, reducing production costs while simultaneously amplifying the reach of counter- hegemonic discourses. This study investigates how zines operate simultaneously as subject and as power within digital contexts, drawing conceptually on Michel Foucault’s theory of knowledge and power to frame the analysis. A mixed-methods design was employed, with 85 zines purposively selected from a population of 568 titles, determined through the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. Data were examined through a narrative approach, supported by AI-assisted text analysis, allowing for both qualitative interpretation and systematic computational support. The findings reveal that digital environments not only reinforce the omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence of resistance discourses but also transform the dynamics of knowledge production, positioning zines as effective vehicles for disseminating counter-discourses. By operating as both disseminators of resistance (subject) and as agents shaping collective truths (power), zines highlight the shifting relationship between grassroots media and structures of authority. Limitations and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

Abstract

YouTube is a digital platform that allows content creators to stream their videos in exchange for money earned through the YouTube Partner Program mechanism, motivates many people to join YouTube. However, what they do not realize is the hidden effect YouTube brings in the form of alienation experienced by YouTube content creators as digital labour. This article discusses this phenomenon of alienation experienced by digital labours. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design, it offers a narrative research strategy to examine the narrative and discourse of alienation of content creators on YouTube. The unit of analysis of the study is the content of YouTube creators as digital labour. The findings show that YouTube is mainly a vehicle used by digital capitalism for the sake of profit accumulated by exploiting content creators from the videos they make. Content creators receive disproportionate or even no financial compensation from YouTube for the videos they produce for YouTube. As a result, YouTube content creators as digital labour experienced alienation from their work, their work activities, from themselves as a human species and from other humans.
