Abstract

The role of women in the digital era has experienced a significant transformation, no longer limited to domestic responsibilities as housewives, but also extending to active participation in the professional sphere. An increasing number of women choose to pursue careers after marriage, which in some cases leads them to become the main breadwinners for their families. This phenomenon challenges the conventional view that men are the sole heads of families and opens discourse on the redefinition of family leadership. This study aims to explore the meaning of being the head of the family for working women in Pekanbaru who either act as the main financial provider or earn a higher income than their husbands. Employing a phenomenological approach, this research involved ten female informants who shared their lived experiences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analysed using Colaizi’s method to identify core themes. The findings reveal that there is a noticeable shift in the understanding of family headship among these women. For those who serve as the primary providers, the concept of “head of the family” is interpreted not merely as a legal or formal title, but as a functional and relational responsibility encompassing economic, emotional, and social dimensions. The meaning of leadership in the family is thus redefined through practical roles and cooperation between spouses rather than rigid gender hierarchy. This study concludes that the redefinition of family headship among working women in Pekanbaru reflects a contextual interpretation of Islamic values, where leadership in the household is viewed as a shared responsibility based on capability and contribution rather than gender alone.

Abstract

This article discusses women's advocacy in Yemen through social media following the outbreak of civil war in 2015 between the Houthis and the government of Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The novelty of this study is its integration of women's engagement in physical public spaces into digital ones and its emphasis on social media's role as an alternative public space for advocacy amidst the ongoing conflict, which limits conventional civic participation. The presence of Saudi Arabia as one of the major powers in the Middle East in the Yemen conflict has actually worsened the political instability in the country due to the intervention carried out by Saudi Arabia to prevent the Houthis from taking power in Yemen. To analyse, this study applies liberal feminist theory using a qualitative research design and analyses data narratively, drawing on primary and secondary sources. Through a case study of women in Yemen, the findings demonstrate how Yemeni women engage in digital advocacy by sharing personal experiences of gender-based violence, promoting legal awareness regarding women’s protection rights through written content, and fostering solidarity among women. Overall, the study shows that social media plays a crucial role in enabling women’s advocacy at a time when the state has been unable to ensure women’s safety and protection.

Abstract

This study examines the forms and sociocultural functions of implicature in popular Balinese love song lyrics performed by Dek Ulik, focusing on four songs: Tiang Demen, Beli Sayang, Boya Je Alpaka, and Ratih Kamajaya. Employing a descriptive qualitative design with a sociopragmatic orientation, the study applies content analysis to song lyrics as cultural discourse. Data consist of words, phrases, clauses, and lyric lines containing implicature, analysed through pragmatic matching techniques grounded in implicature theory proposed by Grice (1975), politeness principles by Geoffrey Leech (2016), and the sociopragmatic framework of Jacob L. Mey (2021). The findings reveal that both conventional and conversational implicatures are employed to convey romantic meanings indirectly; however, conversational implicatures predominate (82%), while conventional implicatures account for 18%. Indirectness is realised through mitigation strategies, conditional expressions, rhetorical questioning, metaphorical references, and culturally shared symbolism. These pragmatic mechanisms encode socio-cultural values such as politeness, loyalty, filial respect, emotional restraint, and spiritual commitment. Such patterns reflect characteristics of high-context communication, where meanings are often implied to maintain interpersonal harmony. The study demonstrates that Balinese popular love songs function not merely as entertainment but as cultural texts that negotiate romantic relationships within local moral, familial, and spiritual frameworks. The novelty of this research lies in highlighting implicature as a sociocultural mechanism through which romantic discourse in Balinese popular music articulates culturally grounded relational values.
