Abstract

This study examines the role of emojis in building personal communication in long-distance romantic relationships. In the digital era, emojis have evolved from mere message decorations to important elements in digital communication, especially in the context of long-distance romantic relationships. Using a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type, this study involved 100 student respondents from various universities who were in long-distance relationships. Data collection was carried out through structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and digital conversation analysis. The results showed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.72) between emoji use and improved communication quality, with 78% of respondents consistently using emojis in their daily conversations. Facial expression emojis dominated use (85%), followed by heart and love symbol emojis (72%). A total of 76% of respondents reported increased message clarity, 68% experienced a decrease in communication misunderstandings, and 82% felt an increase in the effectiveness of emotional communication. Digital literacy had a significant positive correlation (r = 0.64) with the effectiveness of emoji use. The main challenges identified included differences in emoji interpretation (45%), dependence on internet connection (38%), and difficulty expressing complex emotions (32%). This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the role of emojis as a non-verbal communication tool in long-distance romantic relationships and can be the basis for developing more effective communication strategies in the digital era.

Abstract

This study explores how visual art operates as a medium of mediated resistance in the context of postmodern communication. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories from cultural studies, critical discourse, and media ecology, the research investigates how visual artworks—such as political murals, protest posters, and digital illustrations—challenge dominant ideologies and contribute to the construction of collective identity. Using a qualitative methodology combining semiotic analysis and Visual Discourse Analysis (VDA), the study analyzes selected visual texts to examine their representational strategies, ideological content, and audience interaction. The findings reveal that visual art functions not only as an aesthetic form but as a discursive force that reclaims marginalized narratives, negotiates symbolic power, and activates participatory resistance. This research affirms the role of visual culture as a central arena for the articulation of agency, identity, and alternative worldviews within postmodern media ecologies.
