Abstract

Among Indonesian netizens, the debate around “childfree” issue has become a topic of discussion in the Instagram, especially since this issue was raised by influencer Gita Savitri. Instagram netizens' opinions are divided; some support the childfree concept, but many disagree. The debate regarding childfree has even given rise to discourse polarization between narratives that are pro and anti toward childfree. This research attempts to capture and dismantle discourse contestations related to the issue of childfree on Instagram. This research was conducted with feminist critical discourse analysis method. In this research, it was found that there were three focuses of debate between the pro-childfree and anti-childfree narratives. First, the religious perspective in viewing childfree. Second, motivation to have children. Third, women’s agency in choosing not to have children. The contestation of this discourse is motivated by patriarchal and capitalist understandings which are deeply rooted and internalized in Indonesian society in general, making it difficult for them to accept views that are different from the general views which they believe to be true.

Abstract

The phenomenon of K-pop idol-roleplaying is on the rise in social media platform, particularly Twitter, among Indonesian youth. Idol-roleplaying refers to the activity where users or role-players create an account under the name and using the identity of their favorite idol, and then using it to interact with other role-players or other fans based on the image and plot that the role-player has determined. This phenomenon evokes question in regards to the identity performed by users or role-players under the veil of their idol’s identity, to the extent of how they interact with fellow role-players using that particular roleplay account. Hence, this research is significant in studying the idol-roleplaying phenomenon and the self-identity performance of fans, particularly in the context of Indonesian youth’s culture. This research is conducted with virtual ethnography method, involving eight role-players as informants. Initial findings highlight the performativity and identity play perform by role-players.
