Abstract

Algorithmic journalism has transformed the Indonesian digital media landscape, creating a paradox between the democratization of information and the restriction of freedom. This study analyzes the phenomenon through the lens of Michel Foucault's theory of power, using a qualitative research method with a critical constructionism paradigm. The study of platforms such as Detik.com, TikTok, and Facebook reveals that algorithms operate as a “digital panopticon,” monitoring and disciplining user behavior through biopower technology. Filter bubbles and algorithmic bias create a “regime of truth” that shapes digital subjectivity and controls the distribution of information. However, Foucault's concept of parrhesia offers strategies of resistance through digital literacy and self-management practices. This research contributes to understanding algorithms not as neutral technical instruments but as power mechanisms that shape digital social reality. The practical implications include developing algorithmic transparency regulations and strengthening public participation in technology oversight.

Abstract

This article discusses how the title and conflict narration in the documentary film Pesta Babi: Kolonialisme di Zaman Kita (2026) produce layered meanings. The study applies a qualitative interpretive design with Roland Barthes semiotics as the main analytical lens, particularly the concepts of denotation, connotation, and myth. The data were obtained from the film text, the title as an independent sign, public statements related to the film, and secondary materials concerning Papuan agrarian issues. The analysis indicates that the phrase Pesta Babi does not merely refer to a traditional ceremony, but also functions as an ironic sign that exposes unequal relations between indigenous communities, state development discourse, and extractive interests. The film presents agrarian conflict, ecocide, and militarization as connected parts of contemporary colonial practice. By foregrounding indigenous voices and symbolic resistance, the documentary challenges the dominant myth that development is always neutral and universally beneficial. This study contributes to media and communication studies by showing how documentary titles and cinematic strategies can become sites of ideological struggle.
