Abstract

This study discusses the visual meaning of digital protests after the August 28–30, 2025 demonstration in Indonesia, focusing on the use of Brave Pink and Hero Green colors on social media. This phenomenon shows how color functions as a medium of symbolic communication that shapes digital solidarity and collective consciousness of society. Through a qualitative approach with a visual content analysis method, this study examines how the two colors are articulated in public uploads and how their meanings are constructed and reproduced participatically in the digital space. The results showed that Brave Pink represents courage born of empathy and tenderness, while Hero Green represents hope, balance, and social vitality. The combination of the two gives birth to a visual discourse that marks a shift from confrontational protest to reflective and inclusive expression. This research confirms that color can function as a moral language that strengthens social connectedness in the digital world. Thus, the visual meaning in digital protests not only reflects the political attitudes of the community, but also shows the transformation of communication culture in the new media era.

Abstract

In the context of modern society, Islamic da‘wah faces significant challenges in conveying moral and spiritual values in ways that remain relevant amid the dominance of popular culture and entertainment media. Popular music, often perceived as a profane cultural space, is frequently questioned in terms of its capacity to function as an effective and non-dogmatic medium of da‘wah. Against this backdrop, this study aims to analyze the song “Haramkah” by Melly Goeslaw as a reflection of cultural da‘wah that communicates Islamic moral values through popular music. This study employs a qualitative approach using lyrical text analysis, combined with the theoretical framework of Islamic communication and cultural da‘wah. The main focus is on how concepts of love and religious moral boundaries are aesthetically interpreted within the song’s lyrics, as well as how da‘wah messages are presented in a reflective and humanistic manner rather than in a dogmatic form. The findings indicate that “Haramkah” represents the inner struggle of modern individuals between romantic desire and moral consciousness, with the lyrics emphasizing the importance of self-restraint and the surrender of the heart to God. Music functions as a medium of emotional communication that integrates moral messages, affective experiences, and the listener’s religious awareness. The song illustrates a dialectical relationship between religion and popular culture, in which Islamic values are articulated through aesthetic forms that are accessible and relevant to urban life. Implications of this study highlight the potential of cultural da‘wah in fostering moral and spiritual awareness in modern society, while also expanding scholarly understanding of the transformation of Islamic da‘wah in the era of media and popular arts.

Abstract

Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar is a national political figure facing image challenges due to several controversies, such as the "durian cardboard" corruption case, the decline of PKB's votes in the 2009 election, and conflicts with Gus Dur that resurfaced following statements by Yenny Wahid. Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, he seeks to reconstruct his political image through nonverbal communication in his declaration video. This study analyzes the content of the political declaration, the forms of artifactual communication, and positive image building strategies. Using a qualitative approach and Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory, the study found that the artifactual communication employed falls under symbolic practices (practical artifacts), which convey emotional information, behavior, and identity differentiation. To build a positive image, a low-fashion strategy is used to portray simplicity, closeness to the people, and cultural ties with Nahdliyin voters. This strategy serves as an important tool for constructing political symbols that strengthen identity and effectively gain public sympathy. Abstrak Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar adalah tokoh politik nasional yang menghadapi tantangan citra akibat beberapa kontroversi, seperti kasus korupsi "karton durian", penurunan perolehan suara PKB dalam pemilihan umum 2009, dan konflik dengan Gus Dur yang kembali mencuat setelah pernyataan Yenny Wahid. Menjelang pemilihan presiden 2024, ia berupaya membangun kembali citra politiknya melalui komunikasi nonverbal dalam video deklarasinya. Studi ini menganalisis isi deklarasi politik, bentuk-bentuk komunikasi artefaktual, dan strategi membangun citra positif. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan teori semiotika Ferdinand de Saussure, studi ini menemukan bahwa komunikasi artefaktual yang digunakan termasuk dalam praktik simbolik (artefak praktis), yang menyampaikan informasi emosional, perilaku, dan diferensiasi identitas. Untuk membangun citra positif, strategi busana sederhana digunakan untuk menggambarkan kesederhanaan, kedekatan dengan rakyat, dan ikatan budaya dengan pemilih Nahdliyin. Strategi ini berfungsi sebagai alat penting untuk membangun simbol politik yang memperkuat identitas dan secara efektif mendapatkan simpati publik.
