Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of comics as a strategic communication tool for health promotion, utilizing a qualitative analysis of literature and examples from the “Sehat Negeriku” website managed by the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The multifaceted nature of comics, incorporating visual storytelling and character-driven narratives, offers a unique method for conveying complex health messages in an accessible and engaging manner. This research identifies several key advantages of comics in health communication, including increased appeal and interest among diverse demographics, enhanced memory retention through visual cues, emotional engagement that deepens message impact, stimulated creativity and imagination, and the ability to reach a broad audience. Data collection involved a thorough review of existing literature and content analysis of health communication comics, focusing on their structure, content, and reception. The findings highlight how comics, by blending entertainment with educational content, can effectively reduce resistance to health messages, facilitate behavioral change, and contribute to public health knowledge. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of considering cultural relevance and audience-specific characteristics in comic design to maximize their educational impact. This paper contributes to the understanding of visual communication in public health and supports the integration of comics into broader health promotion strategies.

Abstract

This study explores the innovative communication strategies employed by Muhammadiyah in promoting the ideology of Progressive Islam through digital platforms. Utilizing the theoretical frameworks of Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers) and Communicative Constitution of Organizations (CCO), this research aims to examine how ideological messages are disseminated and adopted through digital communication channels. A qualitative approach was applied, involving in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis of Muhammadiyah’s digital campaigns, including social media content and official publications. The findings reveal that the diffusion process follows a systematic progression, starting from knowledge exposure, persuasion, decision-making, implementation, to social confirmation. Muhammadiyah’s communication strategy integrates universal values such as education, social justice, and economic empowerment with engaging visual formats that appeal to digitally native youth. Inclusive narratives are delivered through infographics, videos, webinars, and action-based social programs, enhancing the relevance of the ideology in contemporary society. Furthermore, the involvement of charismatic figures, collaboration with educational institutions, and the use of Muhammadiyah’s organizational networks significantly accelerate the adoption of its messages. The study concludes that Muhammadiyah’s communication approach is adaptive, participatory, and context-sensitive, positioning it as a compelling model for ideological communication in the digital era. These findings contribute theoretically to the field of religious organizational communication and offer practical insights for developing technology-based da’wah strategies in the future.

Abstract

This study explores the branding strategy of Batik Sido Asih in Giriloyo Batik Village, Yogyakarta, focusing on how it attracts consumer interest amid competition from mass-produced batik and contemporary fashion trends. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews with the owner, artisans, and customers, participant observation in the gallery and workshop, and documentation of digital promotional materials. Thematic analysis, following Miles and Huberman’s framework, identified key dimensions of branding based on Aaker’s Brand Equity Model: (1) brand awareness, (2) perceived quality, (3) brand associations, and (4) brand loyalty. Findings reveal that Batik Sido Asih builds strong brand awareness through consistent visual identity and active use of Instagram and TikTok. Traditional hand-drawn techniques using natural dyes sustain the perceived quality, which is openly demonstrated to consumers. Cultural storytelling and family heritage strengthen brand associations, while loyalty is fostered through personal interactions, workshops, and cultural tourism experiences. The study highlights how Batik Sido Asih integrates digital channels with traditional values, offering a model for micro-scale cultural enterprises. Theoretically, this research contributes to cultural branding literature in SMEs, while practically, it provides insights for traditional craft entrepreneurs to design authentic and competitive branding strategies in a digital marketplace.

Abstract

This study aims to critically examine Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim through the lens of Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism, focusing on how the novel represents the East as subordinate to Western ideological and moral authority. Employing a qualitative literary analysis, this research explores narrative structure, characterization, and setting to reveal how the novel systematically marginalizes Eastern voices and constructs the East as a passive backdrop for the psychological and moral journey of the Western protagonist, Jim. Key findings show that the Indigenous characters in Patusan are denied subjectivity and interiority, their perspectives filtered entirely through the Western narrator, Marlow. The narrative elevates Jim to a position of moral superiority and leadership, reinforcing colonial myths of the “white savior” and the supposed dependency of Eastern societies on Western governance. The absence of Eastern perspectives in the novel underscores the epistemological dominance of the West, making Lord Jim not a true intercultural dialogue, but a monologue that serves Western self-definition. The study concludes that Conrad’s novel, despite its literary complexity, perpetuates Orientalist discourse by silencing the East and reinforcing hierarchical binaries between the West and the non-West. Future research is encouraged to compare such colonial narratives with postcolonial works that reclaim indigenous voices.

Abstract

Selamat kampong is a tradition or custom that has been passed down from generation to generation and is carried out in every village in Belitung. Selamat kampong is not only an annual routine tradition in Aik Rayak Village, Belitung Regency, but the implementation of this event contains several aspects such as traditions, approaches, and communication strategies. This study aims to find out how the communication strategy of traditional leaders creates a sense of peace in the tradition of surviving the village in Aik Rayak Village, Tanjungpandan District, Belitung Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The results of the study show that traditional leaders use persuasive communication with 3 persuasive communication strategies: (1) Psychodynamic strategies, involving the community and the younger generation, and evoking emotions through joint prayer to foster a sense of responsibility and increase togetherness. (2) Sociocultural strategy, namely collaborating with LAM (Malay Customary Institution) and implementing Islamic culture to create a sense of peace. (3) The meaning construction strategy, which is the provision of knowledge on understanding traditional values and cultural identity to strengthen solidarity between village communities. This study concludes that the communication strategy of traditional leaders plays an important role in maintaining cultural traditions and stability in Aik Rayak Village.
