Abstract

This study examines the representation of human–AI intimacy in the analog horror short film Ourgirlfriendmaria.com through the lenses of semiotics, digisexuality, and fictophilia. Focusing on the character of Christopher, a socially isolated NEET, the film depicts the escalation of a parasocial relationship with an AI companion into possessive desire and virtual violence. Using qualitative semiotic analysis, this research explores how visual and interactive signs such as simulated rejection and the final symbolic choice blur the boundaries between artificial agency and human emotion. Drawing on representation theory, the film is interpreted as a critique of digital isolation and the normalization of emotional dependency on feminized AI entities. The concepts of digisexuality and fictophilia reveal how second-wave digital intimacy destabilizes ethical “digihealth” principles and intensifies fictophilic attachment. The findings suggest that AI romance systems risk reinforcing objectification and control dynamics, extending their implications beyond virtual spaces. The film ultimately functions as a cautionary narrative, emphasizing the psychological risks of unchecked digital intimacy and the need for ethical AI design.

Abstract

The popularity of Wonder Woman (2017) movie worldwide is not only reached the western lands but also the eastern countries, including Indonesia. Wonder Woman offers western post-feminist idea which can bring various responses to the audiences in Indonesia. By using descriptive qualitative approach, this research explores how the young audiences in Indonesia take pleasure and make meaning to the element of feminism in the movie. This research finds that Gal Gadot’s Diana performance in the movie offers special spectacle to the audience through her feminine qualities, such as beautiful face, ideal female body, and gentle character, despite being a powerful female hero who also has the quality of courage, strong determination, athleticism, and skill in fighting. The duality of Diana’s character, the femininity and masculinity, is also noted by the audiences as one of the most notably signs which presented feminism in the movie. Although most of the audiences are Muslim and embrace eastern culture, they tend to be more open to the feminist signs in the movie, as they have often been familiarized themselves with western values by frequently watching Hollywood movies.

Abstract

The term good-looking is still used in the labor recruitment process in recent years. Especially in the recruitment of bank employees in Indonesia. Bank employees in Indonesia often get the stereotype that "bank staff must be beautiful”. So, this study describes the representation of good-looking bank employees in Indonesia. From this representation, this study also explains that the term good-looking is a term that practices beauty standards in society. This study used qualitative methods and took the data from informal conversations with several informants. In this study, researchers applied the theory of post-feminism, namely beauty myth, and also used Foucault's theory of power relations. The results of this study show that some banking agencies do facilitate their employees in caring for and maintaining physical appearance. It also proves that a good-looking bank employee is according to social beauty standards (ideal height and weight, langsat skin, makeup, and others). This proves that the standard practice of beauty in women is still thriving in society, even in a job or career, not in the entertainment field.

Abstract

This article examines local responses to the prohibition of dog meat consumption and trade framed through moral regulation in the multicultural urban context of Surakarta, Indonesia. Drawing on a critical cultural studies perspective and engaging with international relations scholarship, the study conceptualizes cultural bans as part of the circulation of global moral norms related to animal welfare and public health that are negotiated at the local level. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation of everyday practices, and analysis of policy documents and public discourse. The findings show that moral regulation does not eliminate the contested practice but instead transforms it and displaces it into informal and less visible spaces. Local actors respond through adaptive, symbolic, and non-confrontational forms of everyday resistance, in which public compliance coexists with the persistence of practice in private and semi-public domains. Global moral norms are neither fully internalized nor outright rejected; rather, they are selectively negotiated through local moral economies and embodied understandings of health, producing hybrid moral formations. By foregrounding everyday practices as key sites of moral negotiation, this article challenges linear assumptions of global norm diffusion and highlights the active moral agency of local actors in shaping how global ethical claims are enacted, contested, and transformed in multicultural urban settings. Keywords: moral regulation; everyday resistance; food practices; global norms; multicultural urban society
