This study aims to examine the influence of narrative and dramatization in political content on public political participation in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Election (Pilkada) in Barito Timur Regency. A quantitative approach was used, with survey questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents from various demographic groups. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that both narrative and dramatization in political content significantly affect political participation. Specifically, political narratives that resonate with local issues and emotionally charged dramatization elements encourage individuals to engage in political discussions and voting activities. This study contributes to the field of political communication by highlighting the role of media content in shaping political behavior. The practical implications are crucial for political campaign strategies, especially in utilizing social media platforms to influence voter engagement. The results also offer insights for further research on the impact of digital media content on political participation in contemporary electoral processes.

This study examines the stigma, inclinations, and skincare preferences of young consumers, with a particular focus on male, Millennials and Generation Z. Over recent years, the use of skincare products among women has witnessed a significant increase, driven by evolving perceptions and trends surrounding aging and wrinkles. Adopting a qualitative methodology, this research utilizes interviews to explore the factors motivating participants to use skincare products, their product choices, and their approaches to navigating social stigma associated with skincare use. Findings reveal that while stigma persists—particularly toward skincare products containing minerals—an increasing number of women view skincare as an essential element of self-care and personal improvement. Furthermore, technology and social media emerge as pivotal forces in shaping consumer preferences for specific products and services. The study also highlights emerging insights into male consumers’ responses to shifting social stigmas, offering valuable implications for marketing strategies and product innovation within the cosmetics industry.

This study explores how the TikTok hashtag #MarryIsScary influences young people’s negative perceptions of marriage. As social media shapes public discourse, this research examines the role of TikTok in amplifying marriage-related anxieties. Using a qualitative digital ethnographic approach, this study analyzed 100 videos and 1,000 comments associated with #MarryIsScary to assess dominant narratives and user engagement. Findings indicate that 68% of videos portray marriage negatively, citing fears of commitment, financial burden, and emotional instability. Additionally, 60% of comments reinforce these concerns, reflecting a growing skepticism toward marriage, especially among women aged 18-30 years. TikTok’s algorithm further amplifies these views, fostering an echo chamber effect. The platform serves as both a public discourse space and a reinforcement mechanism for shifting social values. Young users actively engage in discussions that challenge traditional marital expectations, revealing evolving attitudes toward relationships and long-term commitments. To counterbalance negative marriage narratives, a creative educational approach is needed. Engaging, positive content can provide a more realistic perspective on marriage, supporting informed decision-making among young users.

This research examines gender representation in the animated series Nussa and Rara. It applies Gill Branston and Roy Stafford's "Questions of Representation" theory, which is elaborated into three concepts: stereotypes, gender representation, and positive and negative debates. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing on the character Umma (the mother) as the research subject, while the representation of female leadership in the show serves as the research object. The data analysis employs Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis technique, with the unit of analysis including visual elements such as angles, settings, and gestures. The findings reveal that female leadership in Nussa and Rara is portrayed through the character of Umma. The stereotypes associated with female leadership are reflected in her capabilities. Gender representation highlights Umma's feminine traits while also emphasizing her leadership qualities. On the positive side, Umma is depicted as a competent leader, free from harmful gender stereotypes. However, the representation remains limited. It is crucial to recognize that stereotypes, generalizations, and leadership abilities should be evaluated based on individual experiences and competence rather than preconceived notions.

The electric vehicle (EV) market in Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth, with early adopters playing a pivotal role in its expansion. This study analyzes the digital marketing strategies of BYD and Wuling, two prominent EV brands, focusing on their Instagram content to understand how they target early consumer segments. Using the Diffusion of Innovation Theory as a framework, the study categorizes Instagram content into six main categories, with a deeper analysis of Product Information subcategories. Findings reveal that BYD emphasizes technological innovation, futuristic design, and comfort, aligning well with early adopters' preferences. In contrast, Wuling focuses on comfort and consumer interaction, appealing to a broader audience. The chi-square analysis confirms significant differences in content distribution between the two brands. These results highlight BYD’s strategic alignment with early consumer needs as a key factor in its market leadership. Future research should explore other platforms and consumer responses to optimize EV marketing strategies. This study is limited to Instagram content, and future research should include other social media platforms and consumer interviews for a broader perspective. The study contributes theoretically by advancing the application of diffusion of innovations theory in digital communication and offers practical insights for companies.

Betawi culture, as the dominant ethnic heritage in Jakarta, has a uniqueness and richness that reflects its long history and interaction with various ethnic and colonial groups. This research is motivated by the need to understand the historical and cultural characteristics of Betawi that have formed the identity of the community. This study aims to analyze the historical and cultural characteristics of Betawi, focusing on how historical, social, and cultural factors have shaped the identity of Betawi society. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach to explore and understand various key elements of Betawi culture, including language, customs, art, and culinary. The result of the research is that the history of Betawi began from the time of the Sunda Kingdom and the Demak Sultanate, which provided the initial framework for the formation of this society. The arrival of the Dutch in the 17th century brought significant changes, including the introduction of a new administrative system and the transformation of the city of Jakarta into a center of international trade. This colonial influence introduced elements of Western culture that are still visible in the daily life of the Betawi people today. Meanwhile, the formation of the identity of the Betawi tribal community is based on historical, social, and cultural factors that interact with each other to form the identity of the current Betawi community.

Sexist humor has emerged as a controversial issue at the intersection of gender, communication, and traditional entertainment. While often dismissed as harmless amusement, such humor can reinforce gender stereotypes and normalize social bias, particularly in local performance contexts. This study explores audience interpretations of sexist humor in ‘Ludruk’, a traditional Indonesian theatre from known for comedy content that incorporates gendered themes. Adopting an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. the research involves six participants who regularly attended Ludruk performances. Through in-depth interviews conducted in the local Javanese dialect, the study examined participants' interpretations, emotional responses, and the cultural and social context shaping their perspective. The findings indicate that participants generally view sexist humor as mere entertainment, rarely considering its broader societal implications. Male participants emphasize humor delivery and comedic timing, while female participants often rationalize their laughter as a means of social conformity, avoiding being perceived as overly critical. The immersive performance environment of Ludruk, combined with its improvisational and participatory nature, fosters social bonds among audience members and between performers and spectators. These cultural dynamics, deeply rooted in Javanese social norms and expectations of group harmony, contributed significantly to the acceptance and normalization of sexist content. This study highlights how humor operates within specific cultural contexts and how social laughter functions as a mechanism of social cohesion, even when problematic. It underscores the importance of critically examining traditional entertainment practices that may perpetuate gendered social norms under the guise of innocuous fun.
