Abstract

This study aims to explore how career women in Surabaya navigate the intersection of gender, social class, and culture in their daily lives. The focus of this research is to understand the strategies, barriers, and meanings that emerge from women's negotiation process between domestic expectations and professional identity amidst the urban patriarchal social context. Using an intersectional feminism theoretical framework, this qualitative study involved five female informants aged 26-40 years who work as teachers, administrators, store managers, head store managers, and nurses. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and participatory observation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results show that career women in Surabaya experience layered pressures originating from gendered cultural norms and social classes. Nevertheless, the informants demonstrate agency through subtle resistance, strategic time management, and reinterpretation of traditional values that strengthen their professional and personal identities. This finding confirms that women's empowerment can grow from within the existing social system through awareness, adaptation, and collective solidarity. In conclusion, career women in Surabaya are not passive subjects of patriarchy, but active social agents who continuously redefine the meaning of women and independence in modern urban life.

Abstract

This study explores the meaning of “ideal dating” and gender role constructions in the experiences of students in Surabaya. Dating as a social phenomenon among students is a complex space where various values, norms, and societal expectations meet and negotiate. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive phenomenology, this study involved five students in Surabaya through purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results show that “ideal dating” for Surabaya students is a dynamic social construct that emphasizes open communication, mutual emotional support, mutual understanding, and a commitment to growing together. Four main pillars were identified: communication and openness, mutual understanding and ego management, support as a manifestation of love, and role balance. Masculinity is still associated with financial responsibility and decision-making, while femininity is linked to emotional sensitivity and a supportive role. However, there is a strong tendency toward egalitarian relationship patterns, reflected in respondents' consistent rejection of the view that “men's love must be greater.” Social pressures such as academic demands, organizational commitments, and the influence of social media are negotiated through intense communication, ego management skills, and emotional adaptation. The study concludes that the meaning of ideal dating is shaped by the interaction between traditional values, modern demands, and evolving subjective experiences. This suggests that ideal dating is not fixed, but continuously negotiated by students within their social and personal contexts

Abstract

The social construction of gender in rural communities not only shapes the division of roles between men and women but also underlies the motives behind various social and economic actions. This study aims to analyze the social construction of gender motives in the Sidodadi community, Sidoarjo Regency, focusing on normative reasons, economic drivers, and social interests that influence individuals in performing gender roles. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. The informants consisted of five families, comprising married couples aged 28–52 years, selected using purposive sampling based on their involvement and experience in gender role practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations of the informants’ social and economic activities, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that normative motives serve as the primary basis for the division of gender roles, which are perceived as natural and transmitted across generations. However, economic pressures encourage flexibility in gender roles, particularly through women’s involvement in informal economic activities and home-based businesses as strategies to maintain household economic stability. In addition, social interests shape gender-based actions as efforts to maintain household harmony and gain social acceptance within the community. This study concludes that gender motives in the Sidodadi community are the result of a dynamic and contextual process of social construction, formed through the interrelation of social norms, economic conditions, and social interests. These findings are expected to enrich gender sociology studies based on local contexts and contribute empirically to the development of gender studies in rural communities

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how patriarchal norms shape social stigma against female smokers among university students, given the significantly higher smoking prevalence among men in Indonesia compared to women. Gender norms influenced by this patriarchal system create a double standard that negatively stigmatizes women, such as "naughty," "cheap," and "wild." Using a qualitative approach, this study involved thirteen college students who were consciously confronting this stigma. The findings indicate that smoking is used as a symbol of resistance against gender roles that limit women's autonomy and freedom. Actors manage a "Spoiled Identity" by disguising their activities from the public sphere and using smoking as a coping mechanism against structural stress. This study concludes that gender-oriented stigma is counterproductive, rather than promoting smoking cessation. Ultimately, it can actually trigger strong resistance and reinforce smoking behavior in women.

Abstract

Sexuality in adolescence is a social arena that is continuously negotiated through aspects of power, moral rules, and changes in the digital world and social environment. This study aims to examine how sexuality is normalized, how bodies are managed, the process of identity formation, and the negotiation of social and religious values ​​experienced by adolescents, both urban and rural. This study employed a qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth online interviews with adolescent boys and girls aged 18-23. Data were analyzed using Michel Foucault's theoretical framework relating to power and normalization, symbolic interactionism, and the sociology of the body perspective. The research findings reveal that the normalization of adolescent sexuality does not occur through the recognition of formal norms, but rather through social customs, interactions with peers, and repeated digital practices. In urban areas, sexuality tends to be viewed as a private matter, while in rural areas, collective surveillance and social stigma play a significant role in disciplining the body. Adolescent bodies function as a field of power that is negotiated through emotional pressure, self-discipline, and acceptance of moral and religious norms. This study emphasizes that adolescent sexuality is a contextual and multi-layered social process.
EKSTRAKSI, KERJA PERAWATAN, DAN INVISIBILITAS GENDER: KAJIAN FEMINIS INTERSEKSIONAL ATAS PENGELOLAAN SAMPAH SEBAGAI INDUSTRI EKSTRAKTI Pertiwi, Juliana Bulan; Ridwan, Ahmad; Agustin, Dewien Nabielah

Abstract

Eksploitasi dan ketimpangan gender terhadap perempuan tidak hanya terjadi dalam sektor industri konvensional, tetapi juga dalam praktik pengelolaan lingkungan sehari-hari, seperti pengelolaan sampah. Dalam perspektif feminisme interseksional, pengelolaan sampah dapat dipahami sebagai praktik industri ekstraktif non-material yang bergantung pada kerja perawatan perempuan. Kerja ini dinormalisasi sebagai tanggung jawab domestik, tidak diakui sebagai kerja produktif, dan sering kali luput dari perlindungan sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pengelolaan sampah mereproduksi eksploitasi, invisibilitas gender, dan ketimpangan relasi kuasa terhadap perempuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan perspektif fenomenologis. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi, dengan subjek penelitian berupa perempuan yang memiliki pengalaman langsung dalam praktik pengelolaan sampah sehari-hari. Jumlah informan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah tiga orang, dengan penggalian data dilakukan hingga mencapai kecukupan informasi dan tidak ditemukan variasi pengalaman baru yang signifikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) kerja perawatan perempuan menjadi fondasi utama keberlangsungan sistem pengelolaan sampah, namun dinormalisasi dan tidak diakui secara sosial maupun ekonomi; (2) terdapat ketimpangan relasi kuasa antara perempuan sebagai pelaksana kerja perawatan dan aktor institusional sebagai pengendali kebijakan; serta (3) perempuan mengalami dampak sosial dan psikologis berupa tekanan moral, kelelahan emosional, dan stigma sosial. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan sampah tidak hanya mengekstraksi sumber daya material, tetapi juga mengekstraksi waktu, tenaga, dan kesejahteraan sosial perempuan. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada analisis pengelolaan sampah sebagai industri ekstraktif melalui perspektif feminisme interseksional dengan pendekatan fenomenologi.

Abstract

Sports not always been a neutral space, but rather an arena for the production and reproduction of power relations, ideologies, and social constructs. Formula 1 (F1) is a global sport laden with symbols of masculinity, capitalism, and exclusivity, which often marginalizes women in fandom culture. This study aims to deconstruct gender stereotypes about female F1 fans, who are often reduced to being “aesthetic fans” or merely following trends because of their interest in the appearance of F1 drivers, rather than the thchnical aspects of the sport. Using Michel Foucault’s discourse analysis approach, this study highlights how power works through the media, online communities, and social interactions to normalize gender hierarchies in F1 fandom culture. The research data was obtained through content and comments on the Instagram account @infipop.id, which shows how stereotypes are produced and challenged by resistance from female F1 fans. The results of the study show that social media has become a space for social deconstruction, where women associate their identities as true F1 fans through alternative narratives, technical analysis, and digital communities. This study contributes to gender and sports studies by emphasizing the importance of social deconstruction in creating a more inclusive and egalitarian fandom space.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the form and quality of women's political involvement in the Village Development Planning Deliberation (Musrenbangdes) in Karetan Village using a liberal feminist perspective that emphasizes the equality of rights, opportunities, and freedoms of women in the public decision-making process. The method used in this study is qualitative with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document collection to understand gender interactions in the village deliberation forum. The research findings indicate that women in Karetan Village structurally have good access to Musrenbangdes through village officials, women's organization networks, and community communication media. However, the quality of women's participation still varies. Women involved in organizations such as the PKK tend to be more active in expressing opinions and proposing programs, while women who are not members of social organizations often play a passive role due to psychological barriers, limited organizational experience, and domestic burdens. Women's contributions to the deliberations are more focused on issues such as public health, family education, environmental cleanliness, and strengthening the household economy, thereby enriching the village development agenda which was previously more focused on infrastructure. From a liberal feminist perspective, these findings indicate that formal equality is beginning to be realized, but substantive equality still requires capacity building, social support, and women's empowerment strategies so that participation in village development becomes more inclusive.

Abstract

Urban agrarian legal conflicts in Indonesia started to arise following state land governance policies and the acceleration of land asset certification, raising questions about land rights and legal protection for long-term residents. During the 2024 Surabaya mayoral election, tensions intensified as PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT KAI) accelerated land-asset certification, affecting residents in several urban neighbourhoods. The dispute over the legal certainty of land rights entered the electoral arena and was politicised by political elites as a strategy to mobilise support and secure electoral victory. This article examines how agrarian legal conflict is politicised as political capital and how affected residents interpret and respond to limited political choices when their right to the city is under threat. A qualitative approach was employed through field observation, document analysis, and in-depth interviews conducted in three affected sub-districts in Surabaya: Petemon, Gundih, and Pacar Keling. The analysis integrates the theory of political representation developed by Hanna Pitkin with the perspective of fiqh siyasah concerning ‘adl (justice), maslahah (public welfare), and political legitimacy as articulated by Abu al-Hasan al-Mawardi. The findings reveal three patterns of political responses among affected residents: political apathy due to weakened channels of representation; clientelistic co-optation through neighbourhood governance networks, such as RT/RW, accompanied by promises of compensation; and electoral resistance expressed through support for the empty-box option. Politicising agrarian legal conflict proved effective as political capital, leading to a procedural electoral victory. However, from a fiqh siyasah perspective, political legitimacy cannot be determined solely by electoral success but must also reflect justice and the protection of public welfare. This study contributes theoretically by employing fiqh siyasah as an analytical framework to evaluate the gap between procedural electoral victory and normative legitimacy in urban agrarian conflicts.

Abstract

This study examines the identity experiences of lesbian women within conservative Muslim family environments in Indonesia through the perspective of dramaturgical theory. The research was motivated by the complex social and religious pressures experienced by queer individuals in maintaining personal authenticity while preserving family acceptance. The study aimed to analyze how lesbian women negotiate identity, manage social expectations, and construct adaptive strategies within restrictive religious environments. This research employed a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital observation, and documentation studies involving four female university students in Surabaya who had direct experiences in same-sex relationships and were raised in Muslim families with strong religious values. The findings reveal that participants continuously negotiated their identities through front-stage and back-stage performances in everyday life. Religious appearance, behavioral adaptation, and selective openness functioned as strategies for maintaining emotional security and social acceptance within family environments. In addition, safe spaces, supportive friendships, and digital platforms played significant roles in enabling identity expression and emotional resilience. This study contributes to discussions on queer Muslim identity, dramaturgy, religiosity, and social adaptation within contemporary Indonesian society.
