Abstract

This study investigates the complex relationship between state power, broadcasting institutions, and public opinion in Indonesia during the New Order regime under President Soeharto (1966–1998), with particular attention to how media discourse was structured to support political authority and marginalize minority voices. In an authoritarian media environment, broadcasting did not operate as a neutral public communication platform, but as a regulated instrument through which the state managed information, controlled access, and shaped ideological interpretation. Using a qualitative research design, this study draws on archival documents and interviews with media practitioners and broadcasting experts to examine how state policies influenced broadcasting ownership, licensing, editorial direction, and content production. The findings show that institutions such as TVRI and Radio Republik Indonesia functioned as strategic tools of state communication. At the same time, private broadcasters that emerged in the late New Order period remained tied to political and economic elites, limiting genuine media independence. The study further reveals that censorship, centralized supervision by the Ministry of Information, and selective tolerance of limited pluralism enabled the regime to project an image of openness while maintaining strict control over dissenting narratives. This condition not only reinforced regime legitimacy but also constrained public deliberation and weakened the visibility of minority perspectives in the national media sphere. By highlighting the intersection of media discourse, institutional control, and political authority, this study contributes to broader debates on authoritarian communication, media governance, and the political functions of broadcasting in Indonesia’s New Order era.

Abstract

Gender inequality and patriarchal social order continue to shape many contemporary societies, often rooted in long-standing cultural texts that are rarely questioned critically. In Bugis society, pappaseng, classical advisory texts transmitted across generations, are widely regarded as sources of moral guidance and social values. However, limited scholarly attention has been given to how these texts discursively construct and legitimize gendered power relations. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how patriarchal ideology and gendered authority are embedded and normalized in Bugis pappaseng. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), particularly van Dijk’s socio-cognitive framework and the ideological square of self- and other-presentation, this study analyses eleven selected pappaseng excerpts that explicitly or implicitly articulate gender roles, moral expectations, and social authority. The analysis reveals two dominant discourse constructions: the discourse of the ideal woman and the discourse of male domination. Women are represented as morally regulated subjects whose social value is defined by obedience, restraint, and their role in maintaining siri’ (honour and shame), whereas men are constructed as legitimate authority holders associated with leadership, control, and public power. Through polarized discursive strategies, pappaseng texts naturalize and moralize patriarchal relations, presenting gender hierarchy as culturally appropriate and divinely sanctioned. This study argues that pappaseng functions not only as cultural wisdom but also as an ideological apparatus that reproduces gender inequality over time. By focusing on classical texts, this research extends feminist CDA beyond contemporary discourse and underscores the importance of critically re-examining traditional narratives in efforts toward gender justice. Future research is encouraged to explore comparative ethnic texts and alternative or resistant readings within classical discourse traditions.

Abstract

Indonesian comedy films display humour not only as entertainment, but also as a potential for cultural identity that is difficult to capture in English subtitles, which must favour readability over cultural principles. While many studies have been conducted on humour translation in both Western and Asian contexts, Indonesian audio-visual translations are among the under-researched topics of this field of study that still require attention. This article aims to address this gap by analysing modes of humour, translation strategies and cultural references in two Indonesian comedy films entitled Kang Mak (a remake based on Pee Mak) and Modal Nekad that can be found on Netflix. The present study adopts a qualitative approach and adopts the framework of Long and Graesser (1988) humour taxonomy, Molina & Albir (2002, 2012) translation techniques and Davies strategies for cultural references (2003). It all resulted from the plethora of funny lines in Indonesian subtitles and English translations, which were later cross-checked with a focus group comprising linguists and translation experts. The findings show that the major types in both films are nonsense and offensive humour, while modulation, literal translation and adaptation are the main strategies used. This meant they negotiated the references, cultural or otherwise, that intersected with their founding and globalness, which reflected a balance between local distinctiveness and global oversight. Humour subtitling is presented as a form of cultural mediation, with pedagogical and professional implications for audiovisual translation that highlight the need for culturally-sensitive approaches in the practice of subtitling.

Abstract

The phenomenon of stereotypes against Madurese women embedded in traditional expressions reflects profound tensions between entrenched cultural values, evolving social norms, and prescribed gender roles within the society. While Madurese culture is rich in oral traditions, previous studies have tended to focus on general cultural descriptions without critically examining the nuanced construction of female identity within these linguistic artifacts. Consequently, this study aims to explore how the cultural identity of Madurese women is systematically formed and reproduced through proverbs and investigates how specific stereotypes emerge and persist in everyday social practices. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and textual analysis of specific proverbs related to character, moral values, social relations, and the domestic and public role of women. This method allowed for a deep exploration of the social, cultural, and historical contexts surrounding these expressions. The results of the study show that Madurese women are predominantly described as hardworking, resilient, and significantly contributing to the economy, yet they are simultaneously burdened with the heavy responsibility of maintaining the honor of the family. Traditional proverbs display a complex duality between genuine appreciation for women's vital roles and subtle social control over their morality. Thus, these expressions function as both a cultural reflection and a normative instrument in the ongoing construction of gender identity. These findings confirm that Madurese stereotypes of women are not static but are the result of continuous negotiations between tradition, structural patriarchy, and modern social change. Ultimately, this research provides new insights into the dynamics of gender identity in Madurese society, offering implications for understanding how language perpetuates or challenges gender inequalities in indigenous communities. Understanding these linguistic mechanisms is crucial for developing interventions that promote gender equity while respecting cultural heritage.

Abstract

Research on cyberbullying targeting politicians has been widely conducted; however, studies focusing on cyberbullying framed through religious modes remain limited. This qualitative study, employing virtual ethnography, aims to address this gap by examining cyberbullying with Islamic religious discursive modes directed at the Vice President of Indonesia. The data were collected from the comment section of his official YouTube channel and analyzed using discursive strategies within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The findings reveal not only the discursive strategies employed by speech writers (netizens engaging in cyberbullying) against the Vice President but also their cultural practices in mobilizing Islamic discourses to delegitimize him as an outsider to their in-group. Furthermore, the study reveals how expectations regarding the Vice President’s conduct and competencies are constructed from an Islamic interpretative standpoint. It was found that speech writers employ Islamic-based cyberbullying to reinforce the perceived legitimacy of their attacks. They position themselves as a morally positive in-group, in contrast to the Vice President, who is constructed as having negative social esteem and being subject to sanctions. However, this perceived legitimacy is not consistently supported by strong argumentation. With regards to this, the qualitative data analysis software MAXQDA can be used as it allows for a structured analysis of the data, making it possible to identify these discursive patterns. Further research with a larger dataset and additional data sources is also recommended to develop a more comprehensive understanding of religiously framed cyberbullying narratives in the Indonesian digital sphere.

Abstract

This study proposes VeriCultura-AI, a culturally grounded blueprint for an artificial intelligence– based lie-detection system that reflects Indonesia’s linguistic, cultural, and social diversity. Addressing long-standing concerns that conventional lie-detection technologies are culturally biased and largely grounded in Western behavioral norms, this research adopts a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model to design and validate a multimodal system integrating four analytical dimensions: language, culture, voice frequency, and visual gestures. Expert validation by specialists in linguistics, cultural studies and information technology shows a high degree of technical feasibility and conceptual coherence. However, the results also show important gaps in the operationalization of culture, especially in terms of indirect communication styles, multilingual practices and minority cultural representation. VeriCultura-AI aims to mitigate the risk of misclassification and algorithmic bias disproportionately affecting collectivist and minority groups by integrating culture as a core component of AI decision-making, rather than simply a contextual factor. Although this research is confined to validation at the blueprint level and does not include empirical performance testing, it lays an interdisciplinary groundwork for the development of socially and culturally responsive AI. VeriCultura-AI is the first step toward making AI systems that are not only technically strong but also culturally smart and fair.

Abstract

This research paper examines the use of mythopoeic structures as an analytical tool to aid in understanding prophetic symbols in literature. These symbols serve to validate a minority group's identity as they negotiate their place in their respective culture, as applied to literature. By broadening or reinterpreting the meanings we derive from these prophetic symbols, we develop a better understanding of the ways Salman Rushdie and Triyanto Triwikromo use them in the context of post-colonial marginalisation and as mythopoeic structures to assist in negotiating an individual's cultural identity. A comparison of the use of prophetic symbols between the two authors will be made through Stuart Hall's theory of cultural identity, comparative textual analysis, and Homi Bhabha's concept of ambivalence. The study also details two additional outcomes of the use of prophetic symbols by each author; Rushdie's relic symbolises both the reinforcement and challenge of a collectively anxious and disruptively domesticated Kashmir Muslim identity, while Triwikromo's highly elusive prophetic relic serves as an identity exemplification through the metaphor of shattered and regenerating identity from the perspective of settler-colonial allegories.  The study's findings indicate that prophetic symbols can serve not only as indicators of theology but also as potent narratives that help form minority identities and provide critical assessments of institutionalized systems of oppression, allowing the possibility of creating alternative spaces where one can belong outside hegemonic standards. In connecting the active processes of myth-making with creating identities through stories, this research demonstrates its value as part of the growing knowledge base surrounding post-colonial theory, cultural heritage theory, and critiquing representations of 'the Other'; therefore, future research should include a comparative analysis of mythic patterns among diverse transnational bodies of literature, employ a reader-response methodology, and examine the relationship between developing narrative worlds, digital texts and current forms of representation for minority cultures, particularly Indigenous peoples.

Abstract

Politeness research in digital discourse has predominantly focused on linguistic strategies, giving limited attention to how multimodal resources and pragmatic inference interact in the construction of evaluative meaning in social criticism. This gap is particularly salient on social media platforms, where criticism of public issues is often conveyed through indirect, symbolically mediated forms that require audiences to infer meaning from integrated linguistic, visual, and contextual cues. To address this gap, this study investigates the discursive-integrative politeness strategy in social media discourse on social criticism, examining how users negotiate the interpersonal dimension, evaluative stance, and structural critique through indirect communicative strategies. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design within a pragmatic discourse-analytic framework, this study analyzes a purposively selected corpus of 120 textual and video-based posts on economic inequality, government performance, environmental degradation, and unresolved human rights issues on Instagram and TikTok. The findings reveal that social criticism is frequently expressed in indirect forms such as parody, irony, rhetorical questioning, sarcasm, empathetic narration, and symbolic comparison. These communicative resources function as ostensive cues that enable audience members to infer evaluative meanings by integrating linguistic, visual, and contextual information. The study suggests that discursive-integrative politeness enables the expression of criticism in socially acceptable ways while preserving critical engagement with public issues. Though limited to a relatively small corpus from two social media platforms, the study contributes to politeness theory by demonstrating how multimodal meaning-making and inferential processes interact in the circulation of social criticism in digital public discourse. These findings have implications for understanding how digital platforms shape the negotiation of politeness, critique, and public participation in contemporary media environments.

Abstract

Place names are more than administrative labels. They retain traces of settlement, migration, and contact between speech communities, and they shift as those communities shift. Indonesian toponymic research has grown quickly over the past decade, yet border municipalities formed through recent administrative expansion remain thinly documented, and few studies bring etymological reconstruction, cultural classification, and spatial analysis together within a single design. This article addresses that gap by examining twenty-one of the twenty-five villages of Banjar City, a young municipality located directly on the boundary between West Java and Central Java. Qualitative description is combined with frequency counts, drawing on interviews with community figures and residents, field observation, archival and cartographic records, and a toponym corpus compiled from Sundanese, Javanese, Kawi, and Sanskrit lexicographic sources. Polymorphemic names dominate the corpus, accounting for 17 of 21 names or 81%, and sari is the most productive bound element with nine occurrences. Socio-historical motivation accounts for 13 names or 62%, a pattern consistent with plantation era labour migration from Central Java and with later village formation under municipal expansion. Physical features continue to shape naming more strongly than non-physical ones, yet they do so mainly within the older settlement cores. The study contributes in two ways. It documents a border city toponymic system that has not previously been described, and it argues that toponymic stratification in contact zones is better understood as layered coexistence than as replacement, since older ecological names and newer evaluative names occupy distinct portions of the same municipal space instead of succeeding one another.

Abstract

While writers use literature to represent human rights issues, scholars study how literature highlights its significance for rights advocacy. To address the issue, this study investigates how the novel Sukreni Gadis Bali explores human rights themes through names and gender identity. Applying a qualitative approach, this article analyzes the novel as the material object where the primary data are sourced. Secondary documentation was used to support the study through the perspectives of onomastics and human rights concepts. The research draws on anthroponymy to examine the themes related to personal names in the narrative. Through this perspective, the research investigates personal names within the novel and looks at their potential to expose human rights issues. Findings show that in Sukreni Gadis Bali, Balinese characters are given names with socio-political roles, such as Ni, I, Pan, Men, and I Gusti, to criticize rights violations experienced by women on the island. Through the naming, it criticizes the denial of fundamental human rights to Balinese women, particularly the right to identity, self-respect, protection from discrimination, and the right to a name, as outlined in international human rights instruments such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Although the study is limited in terms of data, methodology, and theoretical scope, it demonstrates the novel’s effectiveness in representing human rights concerns. While this study practically contributes to the exposure of Balinese naming issues, it academically adds to the discussion of anthroponastics. These findings can contribute to examining other works by Pandji Tisna, exploring literature by his contemporaries, or analyzing similar themes in different cultural contexts using diverse human rights frameworks to identify broader patterns and motifs in literary representations of rights.
