Abstract

This study explores the manifestations of masculine domination in dating relationships among university students in Makassar City, considering the interaction between global hegemonic masculinity concepts and the local socio-cultural context of Bugis-Makassar, which is rich with the value of siri' (honor). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from students aged 18-24 through semi-structured in-depth interviews and non-participant observation, followed by thematic analysis. The findings reveal four main forms of masculine domination: (1) Control and surveillance through digital media, normalized as expressions of responsibility and protection; (2) Assertion of economic dominance and decision-making, with pressure on men to be breadwinners and final decision-makers; (3) Regulation of emotion and femininity expression, where men suppress "weak" emotions while controlling their partner's emotional expressions, and women self-censor their independence to avoid threatening masculinity; and (4) Normalization of psychological violence, rationalized as a form of "discipline" for the partner's good. The novelty of the study lies in its empirical contextualization of hegemonic masculinity and cyber dating abuse within the Bugis-Makassar cultural setting, revealing how global norms adapt and are reinforced by local cultural logics such as siri'. The research also highlights the internalization of patriarchal norms by both genders, which facilitates the normalization of control and psychological violence. Implications emphasize the need for contextually relevant relationship health education and dating violence prevention programs in universities, aiming to deconstruct narratives of "control as care" and "violence as discipline." Recommendations include multi-level interventions targeting peer group norms and broader societal discourses that support hegemonic masculinity.

Abstract

This study examines the role of participatory communication in mining governance, focusing on efforts to encourage community involvement in Bombana Regency, Indonesia. The mining sector, particularly since the gold boom in 2008, has significantly transformed the socio-economic structure of local communities while simultaneously generating complex environmental and social challenges. This research employs a qualitative approach to analyze how communication practices among government, mining companies, and local communities influence the level of public participation. The findings reveal that communication remains largely dominated by one-way information delivery, with limited opportunities for dialogic interaction. Access to information is uneven, particularly regarding technical aspects such as mining permits, environmental impact assessments, and reclamation plans. Furthermore, communication processes tend to be selective, involving only certain community representatives, thereby limiting inclusivity. In terms of empowerment, communication practices are still confined to informative functions and have not significantly contributed to enhancing community capacity. These conditions indicate that communication in mining governance is still characterized by a top-down approach, which constrains meaningful public participation. This study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the importance of participatory communication as a strategic instrument in governance, particularly in resource-rich regions. Strengthening dialogic, inclusive, and transparent communication is essential to foster substantive community involvement and improve the overall quality of mining governance.
