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.

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

This research examines how gender stereotypes shape the social construction of women as leaders, often perceiving them as less competent than men. Focusing on the 2024 East Java Gubernatorial Election, where all candidates are women, the study aims to understand university students' perceptions of women's leadership. It analyzes the influence of patriarchal norms on these perceptions and explores how views may vary based on gender, cultural background, and geography. Utilizing Peter L. Berger's social construction theory, which consists of three stages—externalization, objectivation, and internalization—the study employs a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews. The research involved 12 participants: six students with East Java ID cards and six students from outside East Java who are currently studying in Surabaya. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure representation from various study programs and included individuals aged 18 to 25. This approach aimed to encompass a diverse range of social, educational, and geographical backgrounds. The data were analyzed thematically through processes of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that gender stereotypes remain a significant obstacle, particularly among male students who tend to be skeptical of women's leadership abilities. However, progressive views are starting to emerge, especially among female students and the younger generation, who evaluate leadership based on individual competence rather than gender. The 2024 East Java gubernatorial election is viewed as a crucial opportunity to shift the patriarchal social construct toward greater gender equality.

Abstract

Women's participation in various student organizations is a social phenomenon that embodies gender equality in the campus environment. Traditionally, organizational activities have been dominated by men, but this situation has gradually changed with the growing representation of women in various leadership roles. Higher education institutions, as educational bodies, play a strategic role in shaping students' social practices, particularly female students who are active in organizations. The cultural differences between the student organizations of Sociology at Unesa and UTM present an interesting factor to explore how the social practices of female organizers are formed and interpreted. Using a qualitative approach, the research was conducted through in-depth interviews with female students who are members of student organizations from the Sociology program to obtain accurate data and information. This study aims to explore gender equality among women in the campus organizational scope of two different institutions. It is expected that this research will provide practical and theoretical benefits to readers and the public. Keywords: Women, Organizational, Organization, Student Organizations.

Abstract

Penelitian ini berfokus pada pertanyaan utama bagaimana peran ulama perempuan dalam pemulihan sosial komunitas pascaterorisme di Paciran, Lamongan, terutama terhadap perempuan dan anak dalam keluarga mantan narapidana terorisme (ex-napiter). Penelitian ini berangkat dari kritik atas kebijakan deradikalisasi oleh negara yang selama ini bias gender dan mengabaikan kerja-kerja keagamaan perempuan di tingkat akar rumput. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berperspektif gender dengan wawancara mendalam terhadap enam ulama perempuan, serta observasi partisipan, penelitian ini menganalisis bentuk-bentuk agensi keagamaan perempuan melalui kerangka feminisme Islam, interseksionalitas, politik perawatan, dan feminisme pascakonflik. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa ulama perempuan menjalankan fungsi penyembuh spiritual, negosiator otoritas agama, agen perawatan afektif berbasis iman, serta mediator antara keluarga eks-napiter dan komunitas. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan integrasi ulama perempuan ke dalam desain kebijakan deradikalisasi berbasis komunitas sebagai strategi pemulihan yang berkeadilan gender, inklusif, dan berkelanjutan.   Kata Kunci: Ulama Perempuan, Pascaterorisme, Keluarga Eks-Napiter, Feminisme [This study centers on the key question of how female ulama contribute to the social recovery of post-terrorism communities in Paciran, Lamongan, with particular attention to women and children in the families of former terrorism convicts (ex-napiter). It departs from a critique of state-led deradicalization policies that have been persistently gender-biased and have overlooked the religious work of women at the grassroots level. Employing a gender-sensitive qualitative approach, combining in-depth interviews with six female ulama and participant observation. This research examines forms of women’s religious agency through the lenses of Islamic feminism, intersectionality, the politics of care, and postconflict feminism. The findings reveal that female ulama act as spiritual healers, negotiators of religious authority, faith-based affective caregivers, and mediators between ex-napiter families and the broader community. The study recommends integrating female ulama into community-based deradicalization policy design as a strategy for gender-just, inclusive, and sustainable post-terrorism recovery.
