Abstract

This study explores two social movements in Indonesia to measure the extent to which the locals mobilize towards the center. This objective departs from two contradictory statements, namely 'Global Language' (Crystal, 2003; see also the issue of Linguistic Imperialism) which argues that globalization always moves towards the center and produces uniformity, and another statement which argues that globalization results in varieties and differences (Blommaert, 2007, 2010; Machin & van Leeuwen, 2003; Pennycook, 2006). Therefore, two significant global social movements in Indonesia were chosen in this article. The first one is the social movement of Tragedi Kanjuruhan which started from specific local issues and narratives, and the second one is Global Climate Strike social movement which started from global issues shared by people worldwide. Both social movements have a specific language rhetoric. It is shown through the languages used in each social movement which reflects locality and globality. To examine this mobilization, this study employs scaling or scale measurement as a method (see sociolinguistic scales from Blommaert, 2010; scalar practice from Canagarajah & De Costa, 2016), focusing on scope and value (horizontal and vertical measurement). From the analysis, it is known that the differences in linguistic resources contribute to different elements of locality and mobility which circulates with different motives. In the end, this study can offer valuable insights into understanding how global and local are mobilized in one example of globalization.

Abstract

The term soft masculinity began to be known as a characteristic of K-Pop since the Korean wave became global. It has three prominent characteristics, such as tender charisma, purity, and politeness. This study aims to analyze how does Siwon Choi represent the character of soft masculinity through his Instagram and Twitter posts. Social semiotic by Kress and Van Leeuwen were used to analyze the visual text and Systemic Functional Linguistic by M.A.K Halliday were used to analyze the written text. Purposeful sampling was deployed to select six photos during 2018-2020. The result of this study found in five photos from Twitter and one photo from Instagram of Siwon Choi’s account represents the character of soft masculinity through the activities in his daily life. This soft masculinity character has become a part of Korean culture nowadays, shifting the traditional masculinity character that tough into the softer ones.
