Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out the experiences of informants with regard to their sexuality and to look at the role of PLUSH in the discourse of 'non-normative' sexuality in Indonesia, more specifically Yogyakarta. This research method is a qualitative research with a'mini' approach to discourse analysis by Foucault, research informants, data collection techniques (interviews, literature studies, documentation, and other media sources), data presentation, and triangulation. The data used came from primary data, namely interviews with the five informants (Bhista (30), Shamil (37), Nakula (35), Abimanyu (23) and Rangga (26), as well as secondary data from reliable sources (documentation from the media, literature, and others). The results of this study are as follows: (1) a world dominated by heteronomous concepts, where general discourse tends to corner non-binary sexuality, as experienced by members of the PLUSH, an LGBTQ advocacy organization. (2) The research contributes to the fields of community empowerment, social movements, LGBTQ studies, and social policy by providing a platform for marginalized voices and documenting new social movements. (3) The research is based on the theory of panopticon prison theory, which is used to describe the experience of the informants in exploring and fighting for their sexual identity in the context of a dominating discourse. It is hoped that further research can involve informants from various sexual orientations such as asexual and bisexual, to provide a more comprehensive picture of non-heteronormal sexuality discourse.

Abstract

Australia Zoo, a privately owned establishment in Beerwah, Queensland, Australia, initially founded in 1970 as the 'Beerwah Reptile Park' by the family of Steve Irwin, a renowned Australian Wildlife Conservationist, serves as the focus of this research. The study aims to explore the communication strategies employed by Australia Zoo from 2020 to 2023. The primary objective is to examine these strategies with a particular emphasis on the involvement of The Irwins family. This research utilizes analysis and evaluation methods to identify the communication tactics implemented by the zoo, assess the impact and effectiveness of The Irwins' participation, and appraise the utilization of The Irwins family branding in attracting and retaining visitors. The research findings reveal the significant role of The Irwins family in enhancing the zoo's public image and visitor engagement. The study also highlights the effectiveness of various communication strategies in reinforcing Australia Zoo's unique identity. The outcomes of this evaluation furnish recommendations to enhance future communication strategies, thereby reinforcing Australia Zoo's image and allure as a distinctive tourist destination influenced by the enduring legacy of Steve Irwin and his family. These implications underscore the importance of strategic communication in maintaining and growing a wildlife conservation establishment's public profile and visitor base.
