Abstract

As part of popular culture, film is able to both reflect and shape the understanding and attitudes towards gender in a society. However, despite the increase of gender awareness in Indonesian society, there are still many filmmakers unfamiliar with gender issues. In fact, the unequal treatment and underrepresentation of female characters in film is a real issue within the Indonesian film industry. It is seen in the lack of films that positively representing women. Often, women are portrayed as being inferior to men. In addition, many films still sexually objectify women. This study attempts to analyze the depiction of women between highest-grossing films made by female directors and those directed by males. This paper aims to highlight how female participation within film production influences women’s representation in popular films. The data is analysed using the Bechdel test — a tool to measure representation of women in fictional stories. Furthermore, this study examines female attitudes, characters, and their roles within the film, as well as the ways in which other roles respond to female roles. This study finds that women are represented in greater proportion and are portrayed more positively in films directed by women. In conclusion, gender portrayal within film is greatly influenced by the actors behind the scenes.

Abstract

Climate change requires people to find the best strategy to adapt. One way to find an effective strategy is to identify knowledge about climate and climate change in the community. This knowledge is inseparable from the gender dimension. By understanding the gender dimension in knowledge about climate and it changes in society, this study can contribute to find effective adaptation strategies in coping climate change. This article was written using the literature study method, by classifying and analyzing secondary data from various article sources in the form of case examples in various regions. The results show that there are differences between women's and men's knowledge about climate, both how to predict the weather and climate, as well as changes in climate variability and the causes of change. In terms of climate predictions knowledge, women pay more attention to climate prediction indicators in the neighborhood where they live, while men pay more attention to climate prediction indicators around the fields where they work. In terms of knowledge about climate change, there are differences in knowledge about the causes of climate change. Women have less knowledge about the causes of climate change than men. This is because women experience limited access to education and sources of information. A just and sustainable climate adaptation strategy needs to take gender dimensions into account and involve women and men equally, because gaps in the level of knowledge will hinder strategies for adapting to climate change.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of village political leadership that has been dominated by a kinship network.  A qualitative-ethnographic method was applied in this study to investigate kinship’s structure and network, and its role in the village leadership. Data were collected through interview and observation.  The study finds that the kinship network has been centered at the village head. This network has been deeply rooted and maintained over generations; and it has been the important social capital to win the village election. The kinship network has been the reference for recruitment and selections of village officials, strengthens the legitimacy of the village head power, facilitates the procedures of bureaucracy, and secured village head’s policies. Furthermore, the kinship network has played a central role in legitimizing the political power of the village head. Through this network, the village leadership goes without turmoil. However, this type leadership has created a weak community participation in village governance.
