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.

Abstract

This study explores how stay-at-home fathers in Indonesia construct and negotiate masculine identities through visual practices within a social context where caregiving remains strongly associated with women and men continue to be positioned as primary breadwinners. Using a photo-elicitation method, 17 participants documented their domestic experiences through self-produced photographs, archival images, and reflective interviews. The findings show that domestic masculinity is not a fixed category but a spectrum of representations shaped through everyday practices, emotional presence, symbolic expressions, and visual absence. Participants articulated their roles through domestic labor, relational engagement with children, and metaphorical imagery that rearticulated masculine values such as strength, responsibility, and protection within the domestic sphere. At the same time, tensions persisted between caregiving and expectations surrounding men’s economic provision, suggesting that domestic masculinity is continuously negotiated rather than fundamentally transformed. In some instances, the absence of images highlighted the limits of representation, including concerns surrounding privacy, legitimacy, and self-perception. Photography functioned as a reflective and representational medium through which participants negotiated masculinity in everyday domestic life. The study contributes to discussions on domestic masculinity and visual representation in Southeast Asian contexts, while also highlighting the importance of considering visual negotiation, selective visibility, and social legitimacy in future studies of fatherhood and caregiving.

Abstract

The global energy transition is central to addressing climate change and advancing sustainable development. Achieving a just transition requires attention to social and gender dimensions. Yet, in many rural contexts, women are still positioned as passive recipients rather than active contributors to renewable energy initiatives. This study examines women’s recognition and inclusion in the development of household-scale biogas systems in Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Drawing on feminist political ecology and the energy justice framework, the research explores how gendered divisions of labor, situated knowledge, and local power relations shape women’s participation in renewable energy transitions, particularly in livestock management and household energy practices. Fieldwork in Nenu and Pagal villages used a participatory action research approach, combining in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with women farmers and local stakeholders. Findings show that women’s everyday livestock management—feeding animals, maintaining stalls, and collecting manure—is essential for sustaining household biogas systems. These often-invisible forms of labor position women as key actors in maintaining biodigester feedstock. The study contributes by integrating feminist political ecology and energy justice framework to understand better how gendered labor, knowledge, and power shape participation and recognition in renewable energy initiatives.

Abstract

Gentrification is characterized by the influx of high-income residents into areas that were originally low-value. Previous studies have stated that gentrification evictions, identity crises, and increased living costs, as well as causing a dramatic transition with the emergence of gated communities that separate wealthy newcomers from the original residents. This study examines the marginalization of access experienced by fishing communities as a result of gentrification in Kampung Muara, Teluknaga District, Tangerang Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach, with primary data collected through observation and interviews and secondary data collected from related studies. The results show that gentrification in Kampung Muara has marginalized the fishing community through evictions and increased vulnerability. Although the community staged protests, their efforts were unsuccessful. An interesting finding of this study is the land acquisition strategy used by developers: they first buy land at the beginning and end of the village and then target the middle. This pattern creates the middle area to eventually sell their land, even if the compensation is below the previous market value. In practical terms, this study recommends strengthening protections for the rights of fishing communities in practice. Theoretically, a study of gentrification focusing on fishing communities is recommended.

Abstract

This study examines how women's live videos are repurposed into repeatable objects of scopophilic consumption through re-editing practices on a popular Indonesian YouTube channel. Focusing on @sebo*channel, the study analyzes how live content originally intended for self-presentation or interaction is extracted, re-arranged, and circulated into new visual forms that intensify the logic of the male gaze, voyeuristic pleasure, and objectification. Using netnography and qualitative visual content analysis, the study uses selected videos and public comments to examine how framing, camera angles, slow motion, zoom, and compilation editing reshape women's bodies and gestures into visual spectacle. The analysis shows that objectification is produced not only by visual editing, but also through the interplay between platform features and audience participation. Commentary practices such as greetings, compliments, erotic comments, moral policing, and gesture requests extend the objectifying gaze beyond the video itself and help normalize patriarchal spectatorship. The study also suggests that modest dress, religious expression, and moral language do not necessarily interfere with scopophilic pleasure. Instead, they may coexist and even support it in the Indonesian digital context. The @sebo*channel account, through YouTube, actively reconfigures visibility, circulation, and value, transforming women's live broadcasts into a digital afterlife of commercialized spectacle.

Abstract

Learner indiscipline remains a persistent challenge in South African secondary schools, particularly within socio‑economically disadvantaged contexts. Existing research often addresses indiscipline in general terms, with limited attention to how specific local socioeconomic conditions shape behavioral outcomes. This qualitative study examines the influence of poverty, unemployment, and family instability on learner indiscipline in selected secondary schools in the Ekurhuleni South District. Data were generated through semi‑structured interviews and focus group discussions with principals, teachers, school management team members, and school governing body representatives, and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that socioeconomic hardship contributes to emotional distress, disengagement, irregular attendance, and diminished motivation among learners, which manifest as disruptive behavior. Indiscipline is shown to be structurally produced rather than solely the result of individual moral failure or weak school discipline. While schools retain some capacity to mediate these effects through relational, consistent, and restorative disciplinary practices, such efforts are constrained by overcrowding, limited resources, and inadequate psychosocial support. The study argues for context‑sensitive, multi‑level responses that integrate disciplinary reform with socio‑economic support, strengthened home school partnerships, understanding learner indiscipline as a social justice issue has important implications for education policy and practice in South Africa.

Abstract

This study fills a gap in the literature by examining how social support, husband wife interaction, and religiosity collectively shape subjective family well-being among Malay families in Indonesia. The study employs an explanatory quantitative design, with data collected from 149 respondents in Tebing Tinggi Okura, Pekanbaru, Riau, through structured interviews using probing techniques guided by a standardized questionnaire, including the Sarafino and Cubbin instruments modified by Sunarti et al., as well as the Aksi-Ga, Religius-Ga, and Tera-Ga instruments developed by Sunarti. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling–partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that social support falls into the low category, husband wife interaction into the moderate category, and religiosity and family subjective well-being into the high category. Social support, husband wife interaction, and religiosity have a positive and significant effect on subjective well-being, both directly and indirectly. Although income levels are relatively low, most families are able to maintain high subjective well-being through strong religious involvement and harmonious marital relationships. These findings confirm that family subjective well-being is determined not only by economic conditions but also by psychosocial factors, including social support, husband wife interaction, and religiosity.
