Abstract

This study examines sexual exploitation and violence against prostituted children in East Java, Indonesia. Children who are involved in the commercial sex industry are generally prone to become victims of exploitation, violent acts, and other child abuse. This case study employs a qualitative research method to examine the various hardships experienced by prostituted children in East Java, Indonesia. The researchers interviewed ten prostituted children, seven “grey chickens” (female high school students doubling as prostituted children), eight former prostituted children, five pimps, eight procurers, and seven male customers in Surabaya City and Pasuruan Regency. This study found that, in the Indonesian commercial sex industry, prostituted children generally experience severe exploitation and violent acts. The children’s struggle to survive in the Indonesian prostitution business is a challenging condition because of their weak bargaining position: their subordinate status in the Indonesian patriarchal ideology, their weak position as children confronting adults, as well as their low socioeconomic position. The efforts to make policies to prevent exploitation and violence against prostituted children by the government and non-government agencies thus should take into account the conditions of the prostituted children as well as the driving factors for the child prostitution business that takes place in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines the operation of governmentality in the consumption of pornographic content by Generation Z women through the Privatter platform. Employing a qualitative netnographic approach, the study involved informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected from digital archives, online interviews as collaborative data, and participatory observation of Alternate Universe (AU) content consumption within closed digital spaces. The data were analyzed thematically, with validity ensured through source triangulation. The findings indicate that the consumption of narrative pornography among Generation Z female AU readers is not merely transgressive, but operates through subtle mechanisms of governmentality. The normalization of pornographic content circulation within AU reading cultures, voluntary compliance through password-seeking practices, the use of content warnings by authors as a form of self-governance, tendencies toward hyperconsumption, and the interrelated power relations among platforms, authors, and readers collectively reflect an internalized process of self-regulation. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji cara kerja governmentality dalam praktik konsumsi konten pornografi oleh perempuan Generasi Z melalui platform Privatter. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif berpendekatan netnografi, penelitian ini melibatkan informan yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui arsip digital, wawancara daring sebagai data kolaboratif, serta observasi partisipatif terhadap aktivitas konsumsi konten Alternate Universe (AU) di ruang digital tertutup. Analisis data dilakukan secara tematik dengan pengujian keabsahan melalui triangulasi sumber. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi pornografi naratif di kalangan pembaca AU perempuan Gen-Z tidak semata-mata bersifat transgresif, melainkan beroperasi melalui mekanisme governmentality yang subtil. Normalisasi distribusi konten pornografi dalam budaya membaca AU, praktik pencarian kata sandi sebagai bentuk kepatuhan sukarela, penggunaan peringatan konten oleh penulis sebagai strategi pengelolaan diri, kecenderungan hiperkonsumsi, serta relasi kuasa yang saling terkait antara platform, penulis, dan pembaca merepresentasikan proses regulasi diri yang terinternalisasi.
