Abstract

This study examines how personal and social deixis function as pragmatic strategies in the YouTube sermons of Habib Ja’far, a prominent figure in popularizing contemporary Islamic discourse. Adopting a qualitative sociopragmatic approach, the research analyzes twenty-two video excerpts across multiple YouTube channels—Jeda Nulis, VINDES, Metro TV, and Close the Door—to investigate how linguistic choices mediate persona construction, audience engagement, and digital religious authority. The analysis integrates Levinson’s (1983) framework of deixis, Goffman’s (1981) concept of footing, Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory, and Bell’s (1984) audience design model, contextualized within Campbell’s (2012) notion of performative digital authority. Findings reveal four dominant patterns: (1) personal deixis (saya, aku, gua, kita) as a tool for negotiating persona and inclusivity; (2) social deixis (Mbah, Bang Haji, Sahabat saya yang non-Muslim) as a resource for structuring hierarchy and solidarity; (3) intertextual deixis linking modern egalitarian speech with prophetic authority; and (4) cross-format deixis variation reflecting adaptive pragmatics across genres and platforms. The study concludes that Habib Ja’far’s deixis exemplifies a hybrid, performative, and participatory model of religious authority, where linguistic adaptability and relational sincerity underpin the effectiveness of Islamic communication in the digital public sphere.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital media and the surge of misinformation have created a profound epistemological crisis that challenges established notions of truth and knowledge. This study analyzes the reconstruction of truth in the post-truth era, in which emotional narratives and ideological biases frequently outweigh empirical evidence. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, the research explores the implications of post-truth dynamics for epistemic authority, public trust, and digital literacy. Primary and secondary sources including academic literature, books, and peer-reviewed articles on epistemology and digital media are examined to provide a comprehensive theoretical framework. The findings indicate that misinformation is often fueled by emotional persuasion, algorithmic personalization intensifies ideological polarization, and diminishing institutional credibility accelerates epistemic relativism. These conditions collectively weaken society’s capacity to distinguish reliable information from falsehoods. The study concludes that reconstructing truth in the digital age requires a multidimensional strategy that integrates robust digital literacy, transparent media practices, and strengthened epistemic responsibility. Such an approach is essential to restoring informed judgment, rebuilding trust, and safeguarding the integrity of knowledge in contemporary public discourse.

Abstract

This study explores the meaning of two Instagram accounts of Academic Library; the UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta and the University of Indonesia, focusing on their posts and engagement. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to collect data through semi-structured interviews with librarians who manage the accounts and their users who follow the accounts. Instagram has become a central platform for communication and promotion in academic libraries, as evidenced by the University of Indonesia (UI) and UIN Sunan Kalijaga. They use it to share service-related information, document library activities, and encourage student engagement. UI manages its accounts through a centralized system, while UIN uses a collaborative model. However, both institutions emphasize inter-unit coordination and developing librarians' digital design and public communication skills. Despite its potential, Instagram faces several challenges in the library context. These include limited content diversity, low response rates to direct messages, and inadequate visual design skills among account managers. These limitations hinder the platform's ability to meet students' information needs effectively and diminish its capacity to build emotional connections with users. Furthermore, librarians often perceive Instagram as a formal institutional tool, limiting its communicative flexibility and user-centric appeal. To address this, a more humanistic content strategy combining storytelling, an interactive carousel format, and participatory features is needed. This approach would enable more dynamic, two-way communication, increase user engagement, and strengthen the library's image as an inclusive, responsive, and digitally relevant space within the academic community.
