Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed people's lifestyles and daily habits due to social and physical distancing regulations to reduce the spread of the virus. Many people who usually hang out or ngafe cannot freely enjoy their favorite drinks in a cafe atmosphere. It inspired the #ngopidirumah movement on social media as a new lifestyle for coffee consumption, campaigned by local coffee industry players to adjust consumer activities during quarantine at home by providing products and services that facilitate ordering cafe-style coffee stocks. This article examines how the #ngopidirumah movement, applied by Anomali Coffee, shapes the trend of a cafe-style coffee lifestyle for consumers during a pandemic. Using a qualitative case study approach, data was obtained through in-depth interviews, online observation, and digital documentation on Instagram. The results of this study explain that the #ngopidirumah Movement, which Anomali Coffee applies to its consumers, forms a new trend of ngafe lifestyle at home, which refers to the dimensions of the consumer's lifestyle, namely activity, interest, opinion, and preserving the culture of community coffee consumption sustainably.

Abstract

In societies with a culture of heteronormativity, including Indonesia, the gay community tends to be alienated and marginalized, especially in rural areas where social control is stringent and inherent. So, what is the life of a gay person in rural Indonesia? And how do gay audiences perceive content and narratives about this issue? This article reveals the reception of audiences from the gay community towards the film 'Pria,' which tells the story of the romance of a gay youth in a village in Indonesia. Using the spectatorship ethnography method, this study finds how film viewers reflect on the film's narrative and relate the characters' problems and experiences to their personal experiences and inner conflicts as gay people who also come from the village. This study is the first to investigate rural gay film viewing practices by gay viewers using a spectatorship ethnographic approach, making it a valuable reference for subsequent relevant studies and as a social reflection for society, especially in the cultural context of heteronormativity.

Abstract

For decades, especially during the New Order regime, the G30S victims and their families remained silent. The oppressive political system makes them afraid to speak out. Not only that, stigma, false stereotypes, and labeling are often attached to them, creating social punishments that are unfair, unexplained, and indefensible. This article examines the film 'Senyap' as a voice for G30S victims who, until now, have not fully recovered from stigma and false stereotypes. The victim's voice is a form of counterhegemony against the dominant anti-communist ideology and stereotypes in Indonesia, which for years has become a regime of truth. This film, at least, can be a medium for reconciling the past, grudges, misunderstandings, and the unclear (or obscuring) historical truth.

Abstract

The patriarchal perspective is deeply embedded in Indonesian culture, including popular culture. This issue is an inexhaustible inspiration to be explored in dismantling patriarchal modes, tracing their consequences, and presenting ideas of rebellion and criticism through popular culture narrative content, including pop literature. This article analyzes the personal discourse of the main character in a pop urban women's novel (known as 'chicklit') entitled Divortiare with a Foucauldian discourse analysis (FDA) approach, which focuses on how power relations operate by highlighting the statements that form the subject of discourse, technology/ strategy, and apparatus. The inner struggle of a widow amid a patriarchal cultural circle becomes the subject of personal discourse. This study is the first to analyze the personal discourse of widows in popular literature (read: pop fiction) in the context of patriarchal culture with a Foucauldian approach: how the main character, personally and counter-discursively, fights against extreme patriarchal power.

Abstract

Indonesia has an enormous manga audience and fans. One of the known genres is Yuri, a lesbian romance story. As a country with many Muslims who practice some Islamic customs, it is not surprising that this genre is often seen as controversial since it conflicts with moral teachings and is labeled as an LGBTQ+ normalization space. However, to not see the genre objectively is also a waste since it represents the actual life of women, especially lesbians, in a heteronormative society that glorifies androcentric capitalistic patriarchal ideology—something we also usually see in Indonesia. Therefore, the Yuri genre is a counter-narrative to Japanese and Indonesian society. Using Barthes’ semiology with Janet Chafetz’s seven traits of masculinity, we analyzed the representation of female masculinity and lesbian traits in the Still Sick manga to decode the representation of a lesbian’s female masculinity in Yuri manga. This article offers a new perspective on this discriminated genre. It shows that entertainment media bears criticism against its society while helping the public, especially domestic hobbyists, understand Yuri manga and its female masculinity more. Five points can be discussed in this article: 1) the shakaijin Yuri theme reconstructs the girls’ love genre and masculinity in manga and anime, 2) the negotiated power relation between lesbian households, 3) women’s hybrid ikigai acts as a critique against the masculine counterpart, and 4) critic against the heteronormative-homophobic society through the representation of lesbian life in Japan. The comparison between Japanese and Indonesian popular culture is also discussed to understand the context.

Abstract

The existence of shemale (transgender from male to a female) is still taboo in Indonesia, especially in less developed areas. This article sheds light on how Bulu Mata, as a documentary film, represents shemale discrimination as an LGBT group minority. Using the Peircean semiotics method, we dissected 27 scenes about transgender discrimination in Bulu Mata and analyzed them in the representamen, object, and interpretant stages. We found three verbal harassment, twenty scenes showing ostracized transgender, and three scenes of physical violence experienced by shemale. Intertextually, we also found media documents (both conventional and social media) that captured, reported, and retold various Shemale activities in some areas of Indonesia. Still, the contents and messages were widely discriminated against by the public who watched them.

Abstract

In essence, Islam was revealed to elevate the dignity of every woman who was previously oppressed by the tradition of the Jahiliya community before the 6th century AD. In the context of humanities, Islam does not justify discrimination between men and women. One form of anti-discrimination against women is the recommendation to wear the hijab (the use of a veil). The presence of the hijab is intended to safeguard the respect of women but raises another issue, namely the right to freedom. However, the purpose of hijab for Muslim women has almost always been problematic due to their position in two circumstances: benefited or harmed. The hijab is often understood as an attempt to suppress women's lives. The role of hijab in the era of globalization today is still relatively small; the powerlessness of women in the industrial world is influenced by the social construction that tends to represent women who are only suitable for the domestic sector. The influences of the mass media on the image of women who wear the hijab also cover the voices of the group so that public perceptions generally believe that this condition is proper. As a conceptual study, this article examines the position of the hijab in the current era of globalization and its relationship to media and popular culture. This study uses a document analysis method. The data collected are excerpts from document manuscripts, research journals, and scientific articles.

Abstract

From the title, Akhir Penjantanan Dunia, this book seems heroic and obsessive about ending the oppressive ideology of patriarchy. And it is okay if it is also a marketing gimmick. There is mounting anger not only from the topic being discussed but also from the choice of words that are strong, straightforward, and, of course, critical (isn't this characteristic of feminist writers?). The author also mentions the matriarchal social system in human culture, such as in Minangkabau, West Sumatra, but, unfortunately, it is not discussed in more depth how this system works as a system that is not as oppressive as the patriarchate. Even so, this book presents many "flesh" arguments that need to be read by researchers of gender issues.

Abstract

Sleep Call (2023), a psychological thriller directed and written by Fajar Nugros, has garnered attention for its captivating narrative and exploration of contemporary societal issues. The film skillfully intertwines a gripping narrative with a profound examination of contemporary issues, offering compelling commentary on the complexities of human relationships, the evolving nature of human interaction in the digital age, and the societal implications of technological advancements. Additionally, the film's portrayal of hyperrealism, class differences, and the impact of capitalism on mental health provides a thought-provoking reflection on the challenges faced by individuals in navigating a rapidly changing society. Furthermore, while the film's focus on gender dynamics and mental health is commendable, its portrayal of these issues could be more balanced. There seems to be a tendency to stereotype female characters as victims or perpetrators of mental illness, which may perpetuate harmful stereotypes rather than challenge them. A more nuanced approach that explores the complexities of these issues beyond gender binaries would add depth to the film's thematic exploration.
