Abstract

This study aims to explore how families understand and organize their work in agriculture in the midst of modern production challenges and changing agricultural practices, specifically in Madura, Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative research methodology with a phenomenological approach. This study analyzes the responses of informants to understand the lived experiences of farming families. Using the theory of symbolic interactionism, this research shows how farmers negotiate their work and family roles through the active construction and prioritization of shared meanings related to togetherness. These principles include a) a simple way of thinking, b) owning a traditional small farm, and c) not being primarily market oriented. Farmers foster a sense of work-related togetherness by forming strong family ties, resulting in a division of labor and wages based on family relationships. In the Madurese context, traditional agricultural practices are not only a means of livelihood, but also an integral part of the family's cultural identity and social structure. The findings of this study underscore the crucial role of shared meanings related to togetherness and family solidarity in sustaining traditional agriculture in the modern era. It also provides insights into the importance of family cohesion as a fundamental element of the resilience of traditional agricultural practices in Madura, Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyzed the impact of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between Dole Philippines, Inc. and the Labor Employees Association of Dolefil Polomolok Hourlies (LEAD.PH) in South Cotabato, Southern Philippines on the development of workers' capabilities. It used Martha Nussbaum's Capability Approach (CA) framework. It examined how CA enhances employees' capabilities and functioning through economic security, health, education, and work-life balance. A mixed-methods approach was used, analyzing the 2020-2025 CBA and a phenomenological exploration of union members' lived experiences through semi-structured interviews. The results show that the CBA significantly improves health and work-life balance through benefits such as health care and leave entitlements. However, challenges remain in terms of economic stability, access to technical training, professional development opportunities, and wage structures that may not fully meet the evolving needs of the workforce. These constraints can affect workers' agency and their ability to enjoy the life they value. Despite these challenges, the study highlights the importance of incorporating comprehensive development into CBAs, addressing both the personal and professional needs of workers. This study underscores the need for CBAs to prioritize employees' well-being and skills development to ensure they have the opportunity to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by vocational high school graduates in their transition to employment and their strategies for overcoming these challenges. Vocational high school is advocated as a provider of skilled and job-ready graduates to solve unemployment problems. However, employment statistics show that vocational high school graduates account for the largest share of unemployment in Indonesia. This study aims to improve our understanding of this anomaly. The data in this paper were collected through in-depth interviews with vocational high school graduates in Yogyakarta, with a balanced representation of gender, geographic location, and specialization. We found that most graduates successfully obtained employment immediately after graduation. However, most of the employment is of low quality, indicating vulnerability in the transition. Their challenges emerge at different stages: before, during and after their schooling. This study also highlights the institutional role of vocational high schools in facilitating the school-to-work transition. Thus, this study contributes to the current discourse on youth transition by highlighting the intersectionality of factors influencing the transition of vocational high school graduates to the labor market and by pointing to the central role of the school in supporting their transition process.

Abstract

The agrarian conflict in Malin Deman District, Mukomuko Regency, Indonesia, highlights persistent inequalities in land tenure, pitting local farmers against plantation companies and state institutions to reclaim ancestral land. Using a qualitative single case study approach, this study examines the power dynamics and social network structures that shape the conflict. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with civil society organizations involved in land advocacy and secondary sources, including agrarian reports, legal documents, and investigative news articles. Findings show that dominant actors-plantation companies and the regional government-exercise power through coercion, economic incentives, and control over legal narratives. Social network analysis indicates that the regional government has the highest degree of centrality and betweenness centrality, positioning it as a mediator and gatekeeper between corporate-government alliances and farmer advocacy groups. However, smallholder farmers remain marginalized, with limited access to information and decision-making processes. This study highlights the need for inclusive land governance and network-based mediation strategies to strengthen community bargaining power. Increasing transparency, promoting equitable policymaking and ensuring participatory mechanisms are critical to resolving agrarian conflicts in an equitable and sustainable manner. By addressing structural inequalities and empowering marginalized communities, this research contributes to the broader discourse on land rights and conflict resolution strategies.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of social media on marital conflict among married couples in three Southwestern states of Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for the study. The study population comprised all married couples residing in three local government areas: Ibadan North in Oyo State, Akoko-South West in Ondo State and Ado in Ekiti State. A sample of 345 married couples was selected using convenience and snowball sampling techniques. Self-administered questionnaires: Social Media Use (r=0.85) and Social Media Impact on Marital Conflict (r=0.76) generated by the web-based application were used for data collection and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. The results indicate that social media networking tools commonly used by married couples are Facebook and WhatsApp, and that social media uses influence marital conflict. In addition, the study revealed that couples aged 40 and above were the primary social media users. There was no significant difference in social media use based on gender, number of children, religion, length of marriage, and educational attainment. Couples should be educated about the potential impact of social media on their relationship. Workshops and information sessions could help couples understand how excessive use or certain interactions on social media can contribute to marital conflict.

Abstract

This article examines the social acceptance of female commercial sex workers in prostitution localities. Social acceptance is critical to their integration into the community. The research utilizes structuration theory to analyze the interplay between societal structures and individual agency in shaping community acceptance of these women. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with both community members living near the site and the sex workers themselves. The findings of the study reveal that the social relations between the community and localized prostitution emerge from the ongoing production and reproduction of social practices. These practices are produced by the community with the active participation of commercial sex workers. This social acceptance manifests itself in discursive and practical awareness, leading to the integration of sex workers into the social fabric. However, it's crucial to recognize that social acceptance alone is not enough to guarantee the protection of sex workers' rights. It must be accompanied by concrete efforts to ensure their fundamental rights. These include the right to health, safety, protection from violence and exploitation, and access to services and programs that promote their well-being.

Abstract

This study employs Foucauldian discourse analysis to investigate how three major Indonesian online media outlets—Detik.com, Tribunnews.com, and Kompas.com—constructed public discourse surrounding Pastor Gilbert’s 2024 blasphemy case. By analyzing coverage from April to July 2024, the research uncovers how media narratives reinforced the dominance of the Islamic majority while marginalizing minority perspectives in Indonesia’s pluralistic society. All three outlets functioned as panoptic instruments, aligning with state-religious authorities such as the MUI, DMI, and Jusuf Kalla to define “truth” and shape acceptable discourse. Detik.com portrayed Gilbert’s apology as a resolution aligned with majority sensibilities; Tribunnews.com privileged Islamic leaders' critiques while minimizing Gilbert’s own explanations; Kompas.com deployed selective “evidence” to label him a blasphemer, disregarding theological nuance. Across the platforms, epistemic violence was evident: Gilbert’s voice was delegitimized, reconciliation was conditioned by dominant norms, and dissent was monitored through harmony-oriented rhetoric. The media’s collaboration with biopolitical forces—police investigations and politico-religious framing—deepened structural hierarchies and exemplified Foucault’s notion of truth as a product of power. While each outlet employed distinct strategies, all participated in disciplining discourse and excluding dissenting voices. This study calls for ethical reflection on the media’s role in shaping inclusive narratives and promoting justice in a multicultural nation.

Abstract

Land is widely considered a fundamental asset and provides economic and social security to women. Land-based access is complicatedly linked to various dimensions of women's well-being. The exclusion of women from land ownership or use of land creates limits to their ability in economic activities, and decision-making processes, leading to socio-economic inequalities. Before the war, women in Sri Lanka's Eastern Province owned land-based assets, ensuring economic welfare and social status. Post-war, their loss of land raises concerns about their economic strength. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of land exclusion on women's welfare in Batticaloa district, Sri Lanka, by using qualitative research methods. A purposive sampling was used, and the sample size was 25. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were carried out to collect primary data and a thematic analysis was used for data analysis. The study found that most women were excluded from their land in the post-war context, leading to significant economic hardship, loss of rights, and social exclusion. Therefore, this study recommends a multidimensional approach to addressing the socio-economic impacts of land exclusion on women, including legal reforms, targeted support programs, and community-based initiatives.

Abstract

Facebook has redefined digital interactions, shaping community formation and identity construction. This study explores how a Bangladeshi Facebook-born author uses social presence strategies to build community attachment, foster parasocial relationships, and enhance digital authorship. By negotiating cultural and social capital, the author uses digital networks for self-promotion and audience engagement. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study applies parasocial relationship and social presence theory to explore three key questions: How does a celebrity maintain digital authorship for promotion and community attachment? What are the different dimensions of social presence between celebrities and audiences? How have parasocial relationships evolved in the digital age? The study analyzed Facebook posts and comments from Mouri's official novel Facebook page for quantitative content analysis and conducted in-depth interviews with the author and her six fans for qualitative insights. Findings show that the author strategically used UGC (user-generated content), among other strategies, to strengthen community ties. Audiences engaged primarily through interactive strategies, followed by affective and cohesive strategies. A nuanced mix of these strategies was also observed. In addition, open communication facilitated both positive and negative self-disclosure, making the parasocial relationship more reciprocal, interactive, and engaging. This study highlights the sociological dynamics of technology, connectivity, and digital authorship.
