Abstract

This research examines the dissemination of religious moderation discourses through digital platforms, particularly YouTube, by analyzing lectures from two moderate dai, Gus Baha and Adi Hidayat. In light of social change and the evolution of digital media, the study aims to identify the values of religious moderation reflected in their messages and assess their impact on public understanding. Key research questions address the various da'wah approaches utilized on YouTube and how values such as wasathiyah (balance), tolerance, and interfaith dialogue are communicated to audiences. Employing a qualitative approach with discourse analysis, the study selects lecture videos through purposive sampling based on view count and thematic relevance. The findings reveal that both Gus Baha and Adi Hidayat effectively use digital platforms to convey moderation messages, albeit through different strategies. Gus Baha focuses on cultural narratives familiar to the community, while Adi Hidayat employs a scientific, structured approach rooted in religious texts. The analysis indicates that YouTube serves not only as a channel for disseminating moderate religious information but also plays a critical role in preventing radicalization by providing inclusive content. In conclusion, this study offers valuable insights into the role of digital media in enhancing religious moderation in Indonesia amidst complex information flows and underscores the importance of digital literacy in amplifying the positive impact of moderation messages online.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of Islamic identity in Khanzab (2023), an Indonesian horror movie. Based on the qualitative approach and the concept of representation by Stuart Hall and islamic perspective, this study aims to show how there is a shift in Islamic identity seen from the representation in the movie. The results show that Khanzab (2023) does misrepresent Islam, the portrayal can be seen from the representation of musholla, prayer, and the Muslims shown in the movie. The depiction of musholla and mosque in the movie is seen as a place to do musyrik activities and the root of the problems. Therefore, in this movie, prayer is portrayed as a terrifying activity, where Rahayu is always disturbed by djinn; hence the prayer scene becomes the main jumpscare element in this movie. In addition, the muslim being portrayed as musyrik, who believes in djinn and black magic. In conclusion, the misrepresentation of Islamic identity is the result of commodification and commercialization to suit the interests of Indonesian audiences. Then, many movies are produced using the same strategy of portraying Islam in an obscure way just to gain popularity and profit.

Abstract

The pervasive meaning and the representative symbol of metaphors have led different views among scholars. Contemporary view has claimed that metaphor is basically symbolic in nature and is pervasive in human language, mind, and culture that goes beyond the scope of a language rather than just as language ornament conceived by the traditional view. The present study is close to the first view that metaphor and symbol in Madurese proverbs are not only matters of language but they mostly take into account with human way of thinking. Moreover, this study also takes a stand that metaphors and symbols can affect social thought and characters. In these regards, constructing the abstract meaning of metaphors - grounded in human mind and culture - has made visible need for this study to use Socio-Cognitive Linguistic approach. It is worth to use such integrated approach to see metaphoric and symbolic meaning about the nature of interpretation reflected in Madurese proverbs to reveal Madurese characters. The study showed that Madurese proverbs have reflected the courageous, religious, humorous, self-reliant, persistent and hard work, direct, and innocent characters of Madurese through their proverbial or metaphorical expressions. The study concluded that metaphors and symbols have played significant roles to reflect social markers due to the symbolic function and abstract meaning of metaphor is bond with human mind, experience, and culture structured through symbolic and metaphoric use.

Abstract

As a pioneer of university museums among state Islamic universities in Indonesia, the UIN Malang and UIN Banda Aceh museums play a vital role as role models for other UINs in managing and empowering university museums as important units in higher education institutions. The purpose of this study is to discuss the UIN Malang and Banda Aceh museums in playing a role as preservation institutions of cultural heritage and a learning laboratory in organizing learning activities for academics and the community outside the campus. By using a qualitative approach and case study method, data collection techniques are observation, in-depth interviews with museum managers and academics. Data analysis is carried out by reducing data, presenting data and drawing conclusions. The findings of the study show that the academics and the community engagement is not as an object in preserving the cultural heritage of Islam and Indonesia. Academics, community leaders and community groups jointly play an active role in carrying out conservation activities. The same thing is also done by museum managers by involving academics and the community to discuss the implementation of educational activities that are needed by themselves such as exhibitions, training, workshops, and seminars. This study confirms the importance of university museums and can form a creative and innovative academic culture among academicians and community.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of a rural community's lack of a public library. Access to reliable and relevant information is essential for making informed decisions towards achieving educational and developmental goals. Public libraries contribute to social and economic development by offering information vital for informed participation in societal activities, including access to opportunities. The study employed a qualitative research method, with fifty participants selected through purposive sampling from various categories within the rural areas surrounding Kwa-Mhlanga, Mpumalanga South Africa. Data were collected through structured interviews and focus groups and then analysed using thematic analysis. The study found a significant need for a public library in the rural areas surrounding Kwa-Mhlanga. The lack of access to information, education, and support materials negatively affects the community’s educational, social, cultural, and economic well-being. Based on this finding, the study recommends the establishment of a well-resourced, maintained and regularly updated public library to meet the information needs of the different populations that make up the community. Villages surrounding Kwa-Mhlanga should form a community group to promote the establishment of a public library or library services, collaborate with local schools to improve library resources and encourage community use after school hours and collaborate with local organizations to create a mobile library that transports books and resources to various community locations.

Abstract

This study examines the structural characteristics and communicative purposes of Saint-Exupery’s famous children novel The Little Prince. The research seeks to uncover the layers of storytelling that contribute to its enduring appeal and pedagogical value by analysing the novel’s structure. Employing a qualitative approach with the help of the corpus tool AntConc to collect data, the study analyses the moves and steps within the narrative to determine how each element functions to build the story's overall structure. The findings reveal that the novel, while ostensibly simple, contains complex narrative layers that present a modern approach to children's literature. This complexity not only engages young readers but also imparts wisdom and moral lessons in a nuanced manner. The study highlights the effectiveness of narrative structure in conveying deeper meanings and the importance of well-defined character roles in enhancing the story's communicative impact. Through this analysis, the research contributes to a broader understanding of narrative techniques in children's literature and their role in shaping young minds.

Abstract

As a recognized advertising medium, billboards serve as one of the strategic choices for companies to promote their products and convey their communicative purposes. Cimory Milk, a dairy brand, uses billboard advertisements in unique and creative ways to engage their target market. This is evident in how Cimory Milk billboard advertisement serves the unusual discourse by playing with the generic conventions of the advertisement genre. Thus, the creative ways are leading through some specific intention that Cimory Milk tries to convey, which is related to the adults and youth discourse community. To explore this, the present study employs a qualitative approach, drawing on Bhatia’s genre analysis and Kress & Leeuwen’s multimodal discourse analysis. Using these frameworks, three Cimory Milk billboard advertisements were analyzed in terms of their moves, creative elements, and the relationship between creativity and audience engagement. This study found that although Cimory billboard advertisements adhered to the general conventions of the advertising genre, some creative strategies such as bending and blending were evident in the advertisement. These creative elements are designed to attract young adults to adults, through features such as the minimalist design, humor, strategic placement, and references to social and lifestyle issues. Overall, the result of this study illustrates how Cimory Billboard analysis uses creativity to engage young adults and adults as their target consumers. These findings may also offer valuable insight for advertisers to identify consumer’s perceptions and improve their marketing strategy.
