Abstract

Today, runners are not only pursuing a contextual pursuit of health, but also many efforts to build self-image through social media. Between the ubiquitous personal branding and becoming an urban lifestyle, running now provides a reflection and response to the increasingly dense and stressful urban conditions. This shows how a commodity (running shoes), not only functions practically, but also undergoes a process of identity commodification, when individual or group identities are formed, represented, or even sold through consumer products. The Adidas Adizero EVO SL shoes are more than just footwear, but also a symbol and status, membership of a particular community, to a representation of ideal self-performance according to the construction of popular culture. From this, we can see how the concept of identity commodification is strongly visible. The identity of a runner is not only shaped by physical activity, but also from the ownership and appearance of certain products, including the phenomenon of the Adidas Adizero Evo SL. The approach of identity commodification theory, it is important to examine how the Adidas Adizero EVO SL is commodified as a cultural symbol and how runners as consumers interpret this product in the formation of their identities. This research is relevant to understanding how consumption practices in running culture reflect broader social dynamics related to social class, symbolism, and identity mediation in contemporary society. The analysis concludes that the Adidas Adizero EVO SL shoes in the Palembang running community are not merely consumer goods, but rather symbols rich with meaning. This consumption practice reflects the process of identity commodification, where runners' identities are constructed and traded through products and the operationalization of the concepts of habitus, capital, and distinction. This research can serve as a reference for expanding research that can be conducted in running communities in other cities to examine how global sportswear products are consumed.

Abstract

This research explores the phenomenon of skincare educational content consumption behavior on new media, specifically the TikTok account @dr.incognito_99, which serves as a primary reference for audiences amidst the surge of beauty trends and the risks of digital misinformation. The objective of this study is to describe the phenomenological experiences of the audience, analyze their interpretation of messages, and uncover the impact of such content on consumptive behavior and skincare routines. Utilizing a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach and the Uses and Gratifications Theory framework, this study involved five active Gen Z informants through in-depth interviews and observations. The findings indicate that the audience acts as active agents who consciously select content to satisfy cognitive (medical information) and affective (entertainment) gratifications. Dr. Abelina’s professional credibility as a medical practitioner serves as the primary pillar triggering a transformation in digital health literacy, where audiences deconstruct viral marketing narratives. Key results reveal a shift from impulsive, trend-based consumption to rational decision-making grounded in the analysis of active ingredients and product functionality. The study concludes that the @dr.incognito_99 account has successfully reconfigured TikTok from an entertainment-centric platform into a credible medical education space, significantly impacting the audience's self-care routines in accordance with health standards. These implications underscore the necessity of professional medical presence on social media as knowledge mediators to foster a more literate and responsible digital society.
