Abstract

This paper used the construction of digitally-mediated resilience embedded in culture of Indonesian cinema through a case study of gender-based online violence in “Budi Pekerti” (2023). Using qualitative critical analysis of 16 scenes, the paper showed how the film navigates digital harm and the strategies of digital resilience through the lens of gendered resistance and collective familial response. The paper critically examined the Western-centric model of digital resilience as an individual habitus, and instead studied resilience as a hybrid practice that involves geographically displaced, nurturing ritual and culturally embedded (e.g., Javanese language, food/symbolism). The paper claimed that digitally-mediated resilience for women in Indonesia is embedded in the nation’s collectivist ethos and, hence, in the film resilience was practiced and represented by men and women. As a performance, female characters challenged the digital harm by seeking the truth, correcting in language, and media activism whereas the male characters in the film maintained their reputation. By giving resilience in the film, the paper consequently claimed that institutional systemic barriers and media economy are among the structural conditions that make women’s justice inaccessible in professional space. The film, hence, argued for a culturally-embracing intervention to tackle techno-facilitated violence in the nation’s digital public sphere. By contrasting gendered power and the cultural context, the paper contributes to the media studies’ discourse about digital citizenship, and thereupon offers an insight for policy and community-based intervention regarding the evolving digital public sphere in Indonesia.

Abstract

In addition to serving as entertaining media, films are a platform to convey messages about important issues, encouraging audiences to think more critically. One such film that delivers a meaningful message on social issues is Budi Pekerti, directed by Wregas Banutheja. This film received 17 nominations at the 2023 Indonesian Film Festival (FFI), making it the most nominated film of the year. Budi Pekerti is a drama that highlights the prevalent issue of cyberbullying in today’s society. This study aims to analyze the representation of cyberbullying and understand the conflicts arising from it through the narrative and cinematic elements of the film, using Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis. The research employs a qualitative method, with the object of study being the film Budi Pekerti. The approach is based on Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis model, which consists of three dimensions: text, discourse practice, and social practice. To deepen the analysis, the study incorporates Erik Erikson's psychosocial conflict theory. The researcher collected corpus focusing on cyberbullying and the conflicts resulting from it for analysis. The findings reveal that Budi Pekerti conveys strong messages through both verbal and visual representations. Beyond these messages, the study also explores the ideology and power dynamics present within the discourse of the film Budi Pekerti.
