Abstract

Mononormativity widely embraced by societies, often leads to negative sentiment toward non-monogamous relationships. Polygamy, as a form of non-monogamy, challenges this norm, particularly when practiced consensually, revealing a divergence from assumptions that label such relationships as destructive. In Indonesia, where Islam predominates, polygamy is conditionally legitimate under religious law and mutual agreement. However, it frequently faces public criticism and rejection, especially on social media. Religious figures like Ustadz Hanan Attaki, who practice polygamy, often become targets of this negative sentiment, revealing the tension between cultural norms, religious legitimacy, and societal perceptions. This study aims to analyze how mononormativity functions as a form of knowledge-power in constructing negative sentiments towards polygamists, especially ustadz, on social media. Utilizing primary data from social media comments and secondary data from online media and supporting articles, the research employs an explanatory sequential mixed method, where quantitative data supports qualitative insights. Combining sentiment analysis using NVivo and Foucaldian discourse analysis, the paper uncovers how societal norms and power structures shape and reinforce negative sentiments towards polygamists. The quantitative data provides a broad understanding of public opinion, while the qualitative analysis delves deeper into the discourses that perpetuate mononormativity. Through this integration, the study highlights the significant influence of mononormative discourse in shaping societal attitudes and maintaining power dynamics that marginalize non-monogamous relationships.

Abstract

Cancel culture is an act of mass cancellation or boycott experienced by public figures. Arawinda Kirana is one of the public figures who experienced cancel culture. She is considered to have committed an act of infidelity, which most netizens think is wrong. This research aims to reveal the form of power relations in the cancel culture phenomenon in social media. In Arawinda's case, data will be taken as screenshots in social media posts; then, a qualitative approach will be used to examine the data. This study found that cancel culture has a form of power relations between netizens and their targets. The netizen has the knowledge that tries to dominate the party, which is considered wrong. Generally, society is dominated by beliefs that believe that loyalty in intimate relationships is only in the form of monogamy. Infidelity as a form of non-monogamous relationship will be the target of public hatred. Therefore, if there are members of the public who are public figures, they will receive criticism, one of which is through cancel culture. The study employs thematic content analysis to classify collected data, revealing that cancel culture is driven by the belief that monogamous relationships are the only valid form.
