Abstract

This research aimed to determine the type and level of engagement with Arabic-language social media among students in the Arabic Language Education Department at Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University in Malang. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach. The research population consisted of students from the Arabic Language Teaching Department, with a sample selected through purposive sampling, focusing on those who utilized social media for Arabic language learning in class. Data were collected using questionnaires featuring a Likert scale and brief interviews. The researchers employed descriptive statistical analysis to summarize and present the collected data in terms of frequencies, percentages, and means, providing an overview of students' participation in Arabic-language social networking platforms. The results of the research were as follows: (1) the students actively engage with social media for learning Arabic, their interaction is predominantly limited to grammar content created by Indonesian speakers, with minimal exposure to native Arabic media and cultural resources., and (2) the students occasionally engage with Arabic-language social media, mainly on Instagram and YouTube, but overall participation and consistency remain low. The limited and irregular exposure of students to Arabic-language media—particularly from native sources—suggests a missed opportunity in Arabic language pedagogy, where consistent engagement with authentic media could significantly enhance linguistic competence, cultural understanding, and communicative skills.

Abstract

Honor killing refers to the murder of a family member (usually female) who have brought shame or dishonor upon the family. This article explores how honor killing is discussed in Turkey, with particular attention to how the practice is frequently linked to the Kurdish ethnic minority. Drawing on Robert Entman’s framing theory and supported by postcolonial critique, the study analyzes twelve news reports published between 2016 and 2023 in three major Turkish outlets. The analysis indicates that Turkish media and state discourse (manifested in legal system) repeatedly frame honor killing in ways that marginalize and stigmatize Kurds. By attaching the practice to Kurdish identity, these discourses normalize an image of Kurds as ‘backward’ and Turks as modern, reproducing orientalist binaries of tradition versus civilization. Building on Spivak’s concept of the subaltern, the article argues that Kurdish women who always become the victims of honor killing are rendered voiceless and are instrumentalized as symbolic evidence of Kurdish ‘backwardness’. In this framing, women’s suffering becomes a rhetorical device that helps justify state authority and domination over particular minorities.

Abstract

This article examines the representation of oppression against Kurdish women in Honor, Daughters of Smoke and Fire, and Dahlia and Carys. It explores how patriarchy and social inequality intersect in shaping Kurdish women’s experiences as subaltern subjects. The study applies a qualitative descriptive and library research approach, using postcolonialism and intersectional feminism as analytical frameworks. The findings show that Kurdish women experience multiple forms of oppression, including language restriction, ethnic marginalization, subordination within family and society, double burdens in domestic and public spheres, honor-based violence, gender-biased moral interpretations, and racism. The article argues that these oppressions are not solely rooted in local culture but emerge from the intersection of patriarchy, migration, class inequality, ethnic discrimination, and postcolonial legacies. Literature therefore functions as a medium of social criticism that exposes systems of domination over Kurdish women’s bodies and identities.
