Abstract

Currently, Instagram has become one of the most effective mediums for personal branding. Interestingly, celebrities or influencers are not the only ones using it. Gen Z also uses Instagram to present their image as ideal as possible. However, that does not mean they lose their true identity. This generation prefers to have multiple Instagram accounts to express themselves. This study aimed to explore why Gen Z had multiple Instagram accounts, how they chose the followers, and how they conducted online self-disclosure through content categorisation of each account. Through this study, the researchers wished to contribute a deeper understanding of the cyber-self, particularly in communication. A focused group discussion was conducted with 21 adolescents aged 18-20 who live in Java, Bali, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi with varying family backgrounds, education, occupation, and gender. The study found that Gen Z distinguished their account based on the designation they have for each account, what self-aspect they want to display, and it finally affects how they disclose information on Instagram.

Abstract

The research discussed a different representations of femininity through the villainesses and heroines in two Korean webtoons (web cartoons). Traditionally, villainesses were depicted as undesirable antagonists as they did not fit into the frame of traditional femininity or were merely viewed as sexually attractive. However, the traditional aspects of femininity were now contested by the villainess protagonists. Utilizing Butler’s theory of gender performativity along with Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual analysis, the protagonists’ and antagonists’ thoughts, actions, and appearance were analyzed. A descriptive qualitative analysis was conducted on two webtoons, The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass, and It Looks Like I’ve Fallen into the World of a Reverse Harem Game. The studied data are selected from chapters 1-45 in each webtoon. The results show that the villainess protagonists are depicted as more independent, have more power, and occasionally dress in a masculine way, while the heroines-turned-antagonists are illustrated as a dependent, lack power, and always dressed femininely. In this case, the heroines-turned-antagonists’ traits represent Korea’s traditional notion of femininity. Meanwhile, the villainess protagonists possess traits opposing the heroines’ traits. Positioning the villainesses as protagonists and heroines as antagonists show a clash of modern vs. traditional notion of femininity, and putting the ‘villainesses’ as the desirable protagonists imply how their representation of femininity is considered more favorable in the modern context.

Abstract

In society, the clash of different people, values, and interests in desiring a single shared object could cause the accumulation of conflicting forces to be directed at a single innocent individual. When it resulted in the banishment or execution of the blamed individual, it was known as scapegoating. One of the parties implied to be prone to scapegoating in a community, as demonstrated in the film Monster, is teachers. Using the qualitative descriptive method, this paper investigated the scapegoating mechanism in the case of Hori, a teacher character in Monster, through his actions and words when interacting with other characters. Three main parties were involved in the process of scapegoating: a parent, Hori’s colleagues and partner, and the students. The scapegoating started when a student, Minato, accused Hori of conducting verbal and physical abuse. The single parent’s overwhelming concern, the school staff’s priority in protecting the school’s reputation, and the students’ reluctance to be involved in the case caused them to perceive Hori as a threat to each party’s well-being. Despite Hori’s innocence, the accumulation of hostility resulted in Hori’s expulsion from school. The case in the story implied the dominant power that the school community members have against teachers, highlighting the fragility of a teacher’s position in society.
