Abstract

This paper examines the discourse of postmemory in the promotional media of Grand Watudodol Underwater Posbox tourist attraction, Banyuwangi, Indonesia. This is qualitative research. The data were cdollected from Instagram posts taken from the official accounts of Banyuwangi tourism, bwi.id, and posindonesia.ig. The collected data wer analysed using multimodal discourse analysis. To restore the tourism sector affected by the pandemic, the Banyuwangi government has built new tours in various areas. Among them is one that collaborates with Pos Indonesia, called Posbox Underwater, which is located on Grand Watudodol (GWD) beach. This tour offers diving activities and traumatic events when sending letters. Traumatic events in this context come from the Millennial generation. For example, they must find proper paper, buy stamps, and go to the nearest post office, all of which are quite a hassle. Not to mention the worry about the letter not being delivered, the recipient not replying, making the writer curious about their response, and the time required. This research uses Gunther Kress & van Leeuewen's visual grammar design, McCabe's thematic progression, and Mariane Hirsch's postmemory to find the discourse in the existing promotional media. It is found that the transmission of trauma is depicted visually. However, textually, persuasive discourse is found in the caption. In addition, visitor testimonials also confirmed that the postmemory discourse was indeed transmitted affiliative. It can be concluded that multimodal becomes a means to advertise postmemory discourse.

Abstract

Gender stereotypes constructed by society are detrimental for women. Women were seen as weak and underestimated by society (the PEW Research Center’s survey in 2017). This study aims to discover how a film entitled Thor: Ragnarok (2017) countered gender stereotypes through the portrayal of the main female character, Hela, and to reveal the reason behind such portrayal of Hela. This study is a qualitative study because the data are qualitative data. The data of this study are clauses collected from the movie subtitles, containing Hela’s power to counter gender stereotypes. This study applied Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (three-dimensional framework), supported by Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), which focused on the transitivity system for the first-dimension analysis. After doing the three-dimensional analysis, it is found that Hela’s character in the movie is portrayed as opposing gender stereotypes. Hela is represented as strong, brave, and feared. These traits are against the stereotype of women described as weak, fearful, and underestimated. The reason behind the portrayal of Hela as a strong woman is to promote the feminism spirit to the people in that women should be empowered, in line with the goal of the United Nations (UN) Women and the UN Foundation that protect women's rights and supports women in achieving gender equality.

Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan menjelaskan dan mengkritisi konstruksi lokalitas Jawa pascakolonial dalam lagu campursari dari masa Orde Baru hingga Reformasi. Menggunakan pembacaan tekstual-kontekstual dengan perspektif poskololonial, kami akan menganalisis beberapa lagu campursari karya Nartosabdo, Manthous, dan Didi Kempot untuk mengungkap poskolonialitas Jawa dalam moda transformatif. Analisis tekstual akan menghasilkan wacana-wacana partikular lokalitas yang berhubungan dengan beberapa isu seperti nilai dan praktik kultural baru serta hubungan lelaki-perempuan di tengah-tengah modernitas dari masing-masing era. Kami, kemudian, akan memberikan penekanan yang lebih kritis terhadap wacana-wacana tersebut dengan menghubungkan mereka dengan kondisi kontekstual yang di dalamnya nilai dan praktik modern mulai mempengaruhi orang-orang Jawa. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa lagu-lagu campursari merepresentasikan transformasi lokalitas yang di dalamnya pencipta lagu membawa pandangan mereka terhadap perubahan kehidupan kultural dengan cara menegosiasikan budaya Jawa dengan paradigma yang lentur. Hal itu berarti pencipta lagu secara sadar merepresentasikan budaya lokal yang sudah berdialog dengan budaya modern serta sebagai usaha untuk menegosiasikan dan mentransformasi lokalitas ke-Jawa-an sekaligus sebagai strategi untuk mempopulerkan dan memasarkan campursari.

Abstract

Advertising plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions of gender and beauty, often reinforcing dominant social ideologies through verbal and visual representations. This study investigates how women are objectified in Indonesian hair-care advertising by analyzing two Pantene commercials, The Raline Look Super Straight Hair! (2015) and For Hair, No More Half-Hearted! (2022). The study aims to examine the discursive strategies through which these advertisements construct female identity and reproduce gendered power relations within neoliberal consumer culture. This research employs Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA), integrating Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, van Leeuwen’s theory of visual representation, and Nussbaum’s theory of objectification. The analysis focuses on spoken utterances, on-screen text, visual representations, and character interactions to explore the relationship between textual features, discursive practices, and broader social structures. The findings reveal that both advertisements construct women as deficient subjects whose social value depends on achieving an idealized hairstyle through product consumption. The 2015 commercial associates flawless hair with personal identity, attractiveness, and self-worth, thereby positioning women as objects of visual evaluation. Meanwhile, the 2022 commercial employs performative shaming, in which a male character attributes a woman’s romantic failure to inadequate hair care, reinforcing male authority in defining female value. Across both advertisements, objectification is normalized through narratives framed as humorous, aspirational, and empowering, obscuring the patriarchal assumptions embedded within the promotional discourse. The study concludes that Pantene’s advertising discourse reproduces and adapts patriarchal ideologies by linking female worth to physical appearance and consumer practices.
