Abstract

Zines are grassroots publications that have long served as media of cultural and political resistance, traditionally circulated in material form within relatively small and tightly bound communities. With the advent of the internet, however, the scope and visibility of zines have expanded well beyond spatial and temporal boundaries, reducing production costs while simultaneously amplifying the reach of counter- hegemonic discourses. This study investigates how zines operate simultaneously as subject and as power within digital contexts, drawing conceptually on Michel Foucault’s theory of knowledge and power to frame the analysis. A mixed-methods design was employed, with 85 zines purposively selected from a population of 568 titles, determined through the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. Data were examined through a narrative approach, supported by AI-assisted text analysis, allowing for both qualitative interpretation and systematic computational support. The findings reveal that digital environments not only reinforce the omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence of resistance discourses but also transform the dynamics of knowledge production, positioning zines as effective vehicles for disseminating counter-discourses. By operating as both disseminators of resistance (subject) and as agents shaping collective truths (power), zines highlight the shifting relationship between grassroots media and structures of authority. Limitations and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

Abstract

Structural poverty in Muara Gembong District, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia, remains a serious issue affecting small-scale fishermen. This study examines the poverty conditions of fishermen’s households using quantitative and qualitative approaches. A census of 31 households and interviews with 5 key informants reveal that all households’ experience income decline during the lean season, keeping them below the poverty line. The stark income fluctuations between fishing and non-fishing periods show their economic vulnerability. Poverty among these fishermen is multidimensional, covering inadequate access to food, health, housing, and education-meeting the definition of poverty in Law No. 13 of 2011 Republic of Indonesia on Handling the Poor. Using Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory, poverty is interpreted as the result of interactions between social structures and individual agency. The study uniquely applies this theory to explore fishermen’s poverty from a multidimensional perspective. Findings show that political-economic structures, environmental degradation, policy failures, limited capital and technology, patron-client systems, and unequal market access restrict social mobility. To overcome these challenges, comprehensive and cross-sectoral policy interventions are required to address the structural roots of poverty and improve the resilience and welfare of small-scale fishermen.

Abstract

This study aims to problematize the position of women as subjects in the discourse of kabhantapi, the traditional costume of the Muna ethnic group in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Drawing on Laclau and Mouffe's discourse analysis, the study unpacks the hegemonic processes through which dominant groups have shaped women’s subjectivities in the contestation surrounding kabhantapi. The findings reveal that women are positioned as consumptive subjects, shaped by the intersection of democratized clothing practices-framed as ‘freedom’-and market logics conditioned by fashion capitalism. Thus, the political subject born from dislocation cannot be reduced merely to an emancipatory subject as envisioned by Laclau and Mouffe, particularly in the context of fashion. This article argues that the lack not only creates space for political subjectivation but also operates as an arena of capitalist co-optation, underscoring the need to situate women’s subjectivity within the framework of the political economy of discourse.
