Abstract

The use of digital media to spread extremism and radicalism is the driving force behind this research. This research aims to examine how the information literacy model counters radicalism narratives. A counter narrative is a narrative that is deliberately framed with the intention of countering or minimizing the influence of negative narratives that are intolerant and extreme (Wahid Foundation, 2021). This research method uses descriptive qualitative and verification testing to look at the information literacy model in counter narrative efforts carried out by four pesantren. Collective Data  through interviews, FGDs, observations, and literature studies. Informants in this research include pesantren leaders and Santri representatives. The resource persons include the Head of the Garut Ministry of Religion Representative Office, the Head of the Garut National and Political Unity Office (Kesbangpol), the Garut MUI Board, and the Garut NU Fatayat Board. Result of this research showed that pesantren information literacy is effective in countering narratives of radicalism through interpretation to re-frame the meaning of jihad and da'wah that has been used as an argument by radical groups, strengthening national insight, pesantren entrepreneurship, and digital media literacy for santri. In solving the problem of radicalism, it is necessary to look at economic and  religious factors. This is so the government can find the right reformulation to prevent radicalism and extremism. In addition, the role of women as the first school for children must be an important factor

Abstract

The development of social media has changed the patterns of political communication, where memes have become an effective digital campaign strategy for conveying political messages in a concise, engaging, and easily shareable way. This study originates from the phenomenon of political memes used by the candidate pair Syakur Amin and Putri Karlina in the 2024 Garut Regional Election as a tool to shape their image, reach young voters, and build closeness with the public. The aim of this research is to analyze the types of political memes used by the candidates and to reveal their impact on public perception. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, which emphasizes the analysis of signs through denotative, connotative, and myth levels. Data collection techniques include observation of social media posts, interviews with relevant informants, documentation, and literature review. The research results indicate that the five memes used, including humor, populist, educational-cultural, geographical, and campaign identity memes, successfully shaped positive perceptions, increased public participation, and strengthened the emotional connection between candidates and voters. Furthermore, political memes also create a space for more relaxed yet substantial political discussions on social media. Nevertheless, the use of memes in political campaigns must consider ethical aspects to avoid misleading or undermining the quality of local democracy. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that political memes are not merely a form of visual entertainment, but also a powerful, strategic, and highly impactful communication tool in the dynamics of campaigns in the digital era.
