Abstract

Heteonormativity is a view that makes transwomen a subject of discrimination and stigma. The discrimination and stigma received by transwomen in Cianjur Regency are inseparable from the construction of the Cianjur community, which is predominantly by Islamic values as the basis for society to normalize these actions. Cianjur is a city in West Java that has a strong history of Islamic movements in West Java. The life of the Cianjur people is influenced by Sundanese and Islamic cultures, which mingle in the joints of the community's social, cultural, and political life. Srikandi Panghegar exists as a community that fights against heteronormativity in Cianjur Regency. This study uses the theory of social movements from the perspective of LGBT, as proposed by Mary Bernstein (1997) with a qualitative research method using a case study approach, the results of this study explain the spread of identity as a method used in collective action as the goal of social movements in terms of gaining acceptance of stigmatized identities to change institutions. However, Srikandi Panghegar Cianjur has not yet reached the stage of changing institutions because movement mobilization is still focused on the community itself and movements only on a small scale at the district level. The spread of identity can then be examined in two forms: identity for critique (identity for criticism) and identity for education (identity for education).

Abstract

Media representation defines social reality by virtue of meanings negotiated through symbols, creating symbolic boundaries that define identities, one of which is gender. Symbolic boundaries of gender have revolved around the roles of masculinity and femininity, much of which were socialized by the media. Dove Cameron's "Breakfast” music video (2022) challenges symbolic boundaries by portraying boundary-crossing through the role reversal of men and women. Through focus group discussions with male and female participants, this study sought to evaluate the way messages of symbolic gender boundaries are portrayed, and how Indonesian young audiences respond to modern representations of gender boundaries. Data were analyzed using the Stuart Hall's Reception Analysis perspective. Results showed that Indonesian younger audiences -male and female- react positively and are receptive to the messages of gender boundary-crossing, and they actively reconstruct the symbolic boundaries of gender. The study finds that participants have progressive definitions of gender, with various aspects of their background influencing their views on gender. The symbolic boundaries of gender include characteristic traits, appearance, and sexualities. Ultimately, similar results were gleaned from both the male and female groups.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and analyze the communication patterns of single parents in post-migrant families in Resapombo Village, Doko District, Blitar Regency. The study employs a qualitative method, utilizing in-depth interview techniques for data collection. Three informants participated in this study, consisting of one father and three mothers, all of whom are single parents from post-migrant families. The findings reveal that the communication patterns of single parents in these families exhibit high levels of conversation and conformity dimensions, indicating a consensual family type with an authoritative parenting style. These parents engage in open dialogues with their children, encouraging discussions while also emphasizing the importance of family values and norms. The authoritative parenting style observed reflects a balance between responsiveness and demandingness, where single parents maintain control while nurturing their children's independence. This study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of communication within post-migrant families, highlighting the unique challenges and adaptations faced by single parents. Understanding these patterns is crucial for developing support systems and interventions tailored to the needs of single-parent post-migrant families. The results of this study contribute to the broader discourse on family communication, especially in the context of migration and its impact on family structures. Future research should explore the long-term effects of these communication patterns on children's development and well-being in post-migrant settings, as well as the role of community support in enhancing family resilience.

Abstract

Privacy has emerged as a critical subject for media and communication research, especially with the youth's growing use of TikTok as a social networking site. This study aims to describe privacy among active young TikTok users through the perspective of the Contextual Integrity Privacy Theory by Helen Nissenbaum and the Privacy Paradox. This study adopts a qualitative research approach and a single case study. This research was analyzed through in-depth interviews with seven TikTok users aged 15-24. The findings reveal how youth navigate privacy concerns in their data practices, highlighting the role of contextual integrity in shaping their decisions. Participants demonstrated an acute awareness of privacy risks and employed strategies such as selective sharing, pseudonym use, and engagement with privacy tools to safeguard personal information. However, the study also highlights the persistence of the privacy paradox, where the desire for social validation often conflicts with privacy behaviors. These insights contribute to the theoretical discourse on privacy and offer practical recommendations for robusting safer and more transparent digital environments for youth.

Abstract

With an emphasis toward two popular Indonesian news websites, Kompas.com and Detik.com, this study aims to find out how artificial intelligence (AI) is framed within the framework of Indonesian online news media. This study uses AntConc linguistic analysis tools to do a corpus study on 88 news articles about artificial intelligence in order to expose the linguistic patterns and framing present in the selected news items. The results expose the opposing hopeful and cautions stories the media presents when interacting with artificial intelligence. The positive viewpoints underline how artificial intelligence can boost the healthcare industry, inspire creativity, and raise educational results among other things. These optimistic points of view highlight how important artificial intelligence is in helping to maximize daily activities. Conversely, the cautionary stories presented by critics highlight the major restrictions and possible risks connected to artificial intelligence, including the worrisome possibility of job displacement for many workers, urgent issues about data privacy that compromise personal confidentiality, and ethical conundrums resulting from the application of intelligent systems. These crucial factors remind the audience of the several difficulties and complex issues that are intrinsically related with the acceptance and integration of such transforming technologies into our countries.

Abstract

Using Indonesia as a case study, this research examines how remote and hybrid work arrangements have impacted employee motivation and organizational communication during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents the lived experiences of workers applying the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which emphasizes autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and features in-depth interviews with ten professionals across various industries. Thematic analysis identified three prominent themes: flexibility and control of the environment (autonomy), connectedness and inclusion (relatedness), and conditional performance and digital adaptation (competence). Although remote working has led to greater autonomy and work-life integration, it has also caused issues of emotional detachment and ineffective communication, particularly in roles that require high levels of interaction and collaboration. Those findings suggest that workplace designs that meet the basic psychological needs of employees can maintain a high level of motivation and performance. This study is particularly relevant and will help to understand the overall post-pandemic organizational change better, providing practical insights for companies that want to adopt effective hybrid work policies by basing the analysis in the context of Indonesia.
