Abstract

This study analyzes the social construction of gender in the visual representations of dance communities on Instagram. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and applying Berger & Luckmann's Social Construction theory and Gender Communication theory, the research examines how dance communities collectively produce and reproduce gender meanings through their content. The results reveal a strong symbolic polarization between femininity and masculinity, externalized through aesthetic choices of costumes, movement composition, and interaction patterns. Femininity is constructed through softness, fragility, and decorative values, while masculinity is represented through strength, stability, and authority. The objectivation process occurs through consistent repetition of representations and digital production techniques (shot angles, filters, editing) that sharpen gender differences. Although limited variations exist, the dominant gender structure is maintained through the sedimentation mechanism of traditional values. The findings show the role of dance communities as agents of gender discourse conservation through digital curatorial practices.

Abstract

This study examines the differences in self-disclosure patterns on Instagram Feeds between Indonesian and United States college students through the lens of collectivist and individualist cultural orientations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and document analysis of selected scholarly literature, the findings reveal that Indonesian users tend to disclose themselves indirectly, highlight group activities, and apply strict privacy settings to maintain social harmony. In contrast, U.S. users are more likely to disclose personal achievements directly and explicitly, with more relaxed privacy settings to support self-expression and personal branding. These findings are analyzed using Communication Privacy Management (CPM) Theory and Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions, demonstrating that collectivist and individualist cultural values significantly shape self-disclosure practices and privacy boundary management in digital spaces.
