Abstract

This paper identifies the increasing tension between traditional African sexual ethics and contemporary human rights discourse in addressing sexual and reproductive challenges across global societies. Such tensions include conflicts over traditional marriage structures, gender roles, sexual identity, and reproductive autonomy amongst others. As a result of these ethical conflicts, human sexuality relationships are not only strained but communitarian wisdom is marginalized as orientations of indigenous sexual ethics are not given attention in human rights policies, the resultant sexual problems and even the solutions provided to address them. The objective of this paper is to show the relevance of African communitarian personhood, through its relational perspective with its attendant sexual values, in addressing certain sexual ethical problems confronting global societies and the world at large. The methods adopted in this paper are philosophical hermeneutics and philosophical analysis in order to understand the orientation of sexual ethics among African communitarian traditions and also to interpret them with the aim of showing their particular and universal relevance, both in African societies and beyond. The paper concludes that a collaborative approach between indigenous sexual values of African communitarianism and the relational aspects of contemporary human rights frameworks would avert individualistic sexual ethics which is a major source of the sexual ethical problems. The approach must be critically rooted in the indigenous communitarian system of African personhood for a more participatory outcome in addressing sexual ethical challenges.

The purpose of this study is to identify the activities of fishermen's wives in increasing household income, to determine the contribution of fishermen's wives' income to the total household income, and to determine the relationship between wives' income and household welfare. In collecting data, this study used a survey method for 36 fishermen's wives. This study shows that the activities carried out by fishermen's wives are selling fish around, opening a food stall, raising goats, and being a housewife. The value of the contribution of fishermen's wives to the total household income is 37.30%, where the average income of fishermen's wives per month is Rp. 808,333, which they feel is not enough to meet household needs. The results of the simple correlation analysis (Pearson correlation) test of the wife's income (X) and family welfare (Y) variables obtained a value of 0.443 with a moderate category.

Abstract

Abstract This study examines the performativity of power relations within the social movement of Pati citizens through a critical discourse analysis of content posted on the Instagram account @wargapati_, in response to the policies of Regent Sudewo. Employing Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis framework, the research investigates how textual, discursive, and social practices intersect to construct citizen representation, digital resistance, and the articulation of collective identity among the people of Pati. The data analyzed in this study consist of visual posts, captions, and digital interactions collected during the pivotal period of the social movement on August 13, 2025. The findings reveal that @wargapati_ serves not only as a space for free expression but also as a performative arena where citizens negotiate their position in relation to the local government of Pati Regency. Through visual, narrative, and affective strategies, the account reflects tensions between governmental policies and citizen aspirations, while simultaneously fostering a form of digital solidarity that is both disruptive and transformative. This research underscores the significance of social media—particularly Instagram—as a site of political articulation for Pati citizens and advocates for more participatory approaches in understanding the dynamics of power relations and resistance in the digital age Keywords: Social Movement, Power Relations, Discourse and Digital
