Abstract

Fandom activism refers to the ways fans engage with social, cultural, and political issues that affect their daily lives. Over time, social media has reshaped fan activism by altering fans’ roles within the entertainment industry and amplifying their presence in society, including in Indonesia. Using digital ethnography, this study focuses on key moments in the K-pop fandom in Indonesia, such as the DAY6 and ELF conflicts with a concert promoter and the protest against the 12% VAT increase. This study demonstrates how fandom activism serves as a framework for resisting dominant powers, overcoming the negative stigma of a patriarchal society, and adapting to evolving patterns of activism across generations. These findings highlight the complex interplay between the internal and external dynamics that shape K-pop fan activism in Indonesia. Fans continually renegotiate their identities and roles within fan communities and society at large.

Abstract

This article discusses the establishment of National Santri Day, which was created through Presidential Decree No. 22 of 2015. The date refers to the event of the Jihad Resolution declared by Kiai across Java and Madura in 1945, under the influence of President Soekarno, to assist the Indonesian people in their struggle for independence. Seventy years later, the value of the Jihad Resolution was revisited and institutionalized into the tradition of National Santri Day. The legalization of National Santri Day raises an important question regarding its timing. This research employs a qualitative method by analyzing texts related to the historicity of National Santri Day to examine the background and underlying factors behind the establishment of National Santri Day, with an emphasis on its residual, emergent, and dominant cultural aspects. The findings of this study reveal that the values of struggle and the collective trauma toward radicalism in Indonesia are utilized as residual elements preserved by the dominant authority as a means of legitimizing its power during the new governmental period in 2014.

Abstract

Amongst the themes that literary works in the genre of dark academia foreground are power and abuse. In The Secret History (1992) by Donna Tartt, a book that is considered to be foundational for the dark academia genre, power dynamics plays a central role. Set in a small liberal arts college in rural Vermont, the book follows an exclusive, closed group of six classics students alongside their charismatic professor as they deal with the aftermath of the murder of one of their friends and the events leading up to it. This research aims to explore how the relationships amongst the characters and knowledge, power, and abuse affect their dynamics in Donna Tartt’s novel. Through textual analysis that applies Michel Foucault’s theory of power/knowledge and Robert Jay Lifton’s thought reform theory, this study reveals how knowledge can become a tool of power to control students into blind submission, like cult members, even in an academic environment where critical thinking is encouraged. This research offers an insight on how Tartt’s portrayal serves as a commentary on the danger of unchecked power and conformity within academic institutions.
