Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed the landscape of political communication, especially through social media, which has now become the main arena for narrative battles and political meaning production. This study analyses the cyber politics strategy in the ‘Garuda Biru Emergency Warning’ content uploaded by the Instagram account @narasi.tv, as a form of symbolic criticism of the democratic situation in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach with a critical paradigm, this study applies Teun A. van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis combined with classical propaganda theory and digital political communication theory. Data was obtained through the documentation of visual and textual content. This study seeks to answer three main questions: (1) How are political propaganda strategies constructed in the “Peringatan Darurat Garuda Biru” content through visual symbols, diction, and narrative? (2) How does this content shape public opinion and position the media as an actor resisting elite domination? (3) To what extent does social media enable a shift in the production of political discourse from the state to independent media and digital influencers? The results of the study indicate that digital propaganda in this content is constructed through a combination of visual symbols (blue Garuda), authoritative diction (emergency warning), and aesthetic narratives that evoke public emotion. This strategy shapes opinion through affective resonance and demonstrates a shift in symbolic power from the state to independent media and digital actors. This research confirms that social media is not merely a communication tool, but also an arena for ideological contestation and discourse production in contemporary democracy

Abstract

Identity is entirely a social construction and cannot exist outside cultural representation and acculturation because identity is within the social and cultural environment. In the context of tradition, identity is related to the position and social position of the community. Dreadlocked children are believed to have more daring personalities than humans who are destined to have normal hair. This phenomenon is not limited to dreadlocks who live in Dieng. Several cases were also found in individuals who had direct descendants of the Dieng population, even though they were domiciled outside the Dieng area. This research used Cultural Identity Theory and city branding. What is their social identity? How does the ritual transformation of dreadlocks contribute to the activation of Dieng's brand as a tourist destination? This study employed the constructivism paradigm and analysed systematically meaningful acts socially, especially on the dreadlocks in Dieng, Central Java. The methodological approach is qualitative. The informants are six parents, public figures, and officials. The result shown: For the people of Dieng Plateau, the number of dreadlocked children correlates with people's welfare. The greater the number of dreadlocked children, the better their welfare. The misunderstanding is that the dreadlocks are special, smart, hyperactive because the dreadlocks are guarded by supernatural beings. Related to tourist destinations, the local government uses it as part of a cultural tourism destination that is economical in purpose.

Abstract

This research explains the roles and strategies of influencer artists who collaborate with presidential and vice-presidential candidate pairs in conducting political campaigns through digital media in the 2024 general elections. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data collection technique in this research is a literature study. The finding of this research is that influencer artists supporting Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka are dominant in taking on the icon role in their digital political campaigns. Meanwhile, influencer artists supporting Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD are more predominant in the role of messengers. Furthermore, in their digital political campaign strategies, these influencer artists use ways to create creative content, mobilise fanbases incorporated in their social media, conduct giveaways and carry out live streaming routines on their respective digital platforms and other people's channels. Therefore, this study explains that the power of digital media, coupled with a recognised figure in the channel, significantly impacts electoral politics if utilised in a directed and measured manner.

Abstract

Radio media still play an important role as a source of public information, especially in conveying real-time traffic conditions. However, in today's digital era, the question arises as to how relevant the traffic congestion information conveyed by radio still is to the public. This study refers to the uses and gratifications theory, which emphasises that audiences choose media based on their ability to meet information needs. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method of 300 respondents, namely private vehicle users in Surabaya and its surroundings. The analysis focuses on the dimensions of accuracy, relevance, novelty of information, and listener loyalty. The results show that accurate, relevant, and up-to-date information about traffic conditions has a significant effect on continued listening. In addition, social interaction through the "Listener Reports" programme also strengthens audience loyalty to Radio Suara Surabaya. These findings confirm that radio remains relevant in meeting the information needs of the public in the digital age, especially in the context of traffic information.

Abstract

The Caci Dance culture from East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is a cultural performing art and is basically a form of war dance performed by the younger generation based on the principles of brotherhood and mutual respect as a form of gratitude. The purpose of this research is to analyse how the Caci Dance as a form of art-based communication instils the meaning of collective cultural values for the Manggarai people in Flores. This research uses a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods. Primary data was obtained through in-depth semi-structured interviews with several stakeholders such as traditional village heads, religious leaders and the government. The findings from this study are that Caci dance as a performance art also has an entertainment function in addition to conveying social messages. In the Caci Dance, the message to be conveyed, apart from providing entertainment through dance and musical performances, is also related to moral encouragement to pay more attention to sustainable efforts in preserving the Earth we inhabit. On the other hand, the Caci Dance depicts the cultural values of collectivity held by the Manggarai community which can also describe the characteristics of the community. The collective values believed by the Manggarai community as their characteristics are the values of unity and mutual respect which are also seen from the process of involvement as an effort to preserve the Caci Dance.

Abstract

In the digital age, social media platforms like Instagram have become significant tools for grassroots activism, particularly in addressing environmental and gender issues. In Indonesia, where climate change intersects with low levels of literacy, efforts to empower mothers with climate knowledge are increasingly vital. Mothers are often at the forefront of managing domestic and environmental challenges, yet their access to climate literacy remains limited. This study aims to analyse the literacy discourse and climate crisis issues raised by @bbbbookclub in the #ClimateLiteracyforMothers campaign on Instagram. Using a qualitative approach and applying Marie-Anne Paveau’s discourse analysis, the research is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of cyberculture and digital activism. The findings reveal four dominant discourses: the urgency of positioning mothers as agents of social change; critical reflections on environmental policy and patriarchal-capitalist systems; the use of religious and local cultural narratives to communicate environmental values; and lifestyle transformation as a form of climate action. These discourses illustrate how digital activism can shape new forms of environmental engagement among marginalised communities. The study also identifies elements of ecofeminist ideology that underpin the campaign, highlighting how women’s empowerment and environmental advocacy can converge in online spaces.

Abstract

Saeed Roustayi’s Leila’s Brothers (2022) sparked significant controversy in Iran following its international success, culminating in criminal charges against the movie’s director and producer. While public discourse largely focused on the film’s portrayal of poverty and patriarchy, this study goes beyond it and argues that its narrative structure subtly encodes a critique of the authoritarian regime in Iran. Applying classical structuralist models– Todorov’s three-act structure and Propp’s character archetypes, this research analysed how the film’s narrative mechanisms reflect dissent against entrenched authority. The study focused particularly on the portrayal of Esmail, the family’s patriarch, whose obsession with power and status parallels the perceived characteristics of Iran’s Supreme Leader. Through this allegorical construction, the narrative conveys a veiled political commentary that may explain the film’s censorship. Leila, the central character, challenges familial and societal norms, positioning her as a catalyst for change within a rigid system. The film’s closure, juxtaposing the quiet death of Esmail with a young girl’s birthday celebration, symbolises generational transition and the fading legitimacy of traditional power structures. While this analysis draws on classical structuralist models, it contextualises them within Iran’s contemporary sociopolitical environment. In particular, the film’s portrayal of gender, authority, and resistance reflects the ethos of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement. This study demonstrates how narrative structures, though seemingly neutral, can encode political dissent in contexts of censorship, offering new insights into resistance media in authoritarian settings.

Abstract

In West Sumatra, the Minangkabau community has a tradition known as Maota di Lapau (abbreviated as M.d.L), which involves conversational gatherings in coffee shops. However, this tradition is now eroding and being abandoned. The decline in the prestige of M.d.L has reduced the intensity of sharing thoughts and experiences, as well as creative and critical thinking. Furthermore, it has diminished the quality of social interaction and weakened the community's ability to unify its social potential to solve collective problems. This inductive research sought to provide a comprehensive explanation for why M.d.L is becoming less popular and declining in intensity, and to explore its implications for social capital, creativity, and the community's capacity for collaboration, particularly in the economic sphere. The study was conducted in four villages in West Sumatra using a qualitative method and a dual approach (case study and phenomenology). Analysis of the findings revealed that the primary cause is the discontinued use of the traditional communication protocol, Kato Nan Ampek, in daily conversation.

Abstract

Cases of violence against children and women remain a worrying problem, but not all victims are willing to report it for various reasons. This situation has prompted the government to provide services through the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children. The purpose of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of the communication strategies used by the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children in Cilegon City in disseminating information about the services it provides. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a case study method. The informants consisted of five people based on purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, followed by data validity checking and data analysis. The results showed that the communication strategies used in disseminating information about services for handling violence against women and children included situation analysis and target determination, selection of communicators, selection of media, and preparation of media to be used as communication channels, and were implemented in various forms of socialisation activities, including psychoeducation activities, socialisation to schools in the form of distributing roll-up banners or seminars, and socialisation about the PATBM (Integrated Child Protection Community) programme at the village and sub-district levels. This strategy has been effective in expanding the dissemination of information about violence response services in the community. The study provides practical recommendations for public relations practitioners and offers directions for further research on communication strategies.

Abstract

The philosophy of Bhuppa' Bhappu' Ghuru Rato is the core of Madurese culture, which emphasises respect for elders, teachers, and leaders as the basis of social hierarchy and communication ethics. Amidst modernisation and the development of digital technology, these traditional values face challenges in adapting to increasingly egalitarian patterns of global communication. This study describes the transformation of power structures in communication and analyses its impact on communication ethics, social relations, cultural identity, and the integration of local values in the modern era. This study uses qualitative methods with an ethnographic approach, through observation, interviews, and documentation of cultural and community leaders in Madura. The analysis is descriptive in order to process, categorise, and interpret data relevant to the research focus. The results show that education, both formal and informal, is a key strategy in maintaining the sustainability of this philosophy. Digital technology also plays a role as a medium for cultural preservation, as long as the narrative remains authentic and contextual. A participatory approach through communities and cultural arts has proven effective in integrating local values into modern communication practices. Therefore, synergy is needed between the government, educational institutions, cultural communities, and media actors to create a digital space that is inclusive of local narratives. This study confirms that the philosophy of Bhuppa' Bhappu' Ghuru Rato can be transformed into a framework for adaptive ethical dialogue, reflecting the cultural resilience of Madura in facing the challenges of globalisation without losing its values.
