Abstract

Malawi Vision 2063 places youth and women at the center of the country’s ambition to become an inclusively wealthy, self-reliant, and upper-middle-income nation, as active and critical stakeholders rather than passive beneficiaries of national transformation. Yet the expansion of digital technologies occurs within a highly unequal socioeconomic and infrastructural environment. This paper examines whether Malawi's digital-infrastructure deficits in electricity, connectivity, and device ownership are producing a new, technologically mediated divide between an increasingly connected urban minority and marginalized youth and women. Employing Jan van Dijk's theory of access, the paper undertakes a qualitative desk-based analysis of government policy documents, national and international development reports, and relevant scholarly literature. The analysis finds that Malawi's digital divide is multidimensional and cumulative: limited electricity access and low household device ownership constrain material access before questions of skills or meaningful use even arise. Although MW2063's three pillars and its ICT-specific implementation targets provide a credible institutional foundation for digital transformation, the paper argues that without deliberate, gender-responsive, and youth-targeted investment in infrastructure and digital skills, technological leapfrogging risks reproducing and deepening existing socioeconomic and spatial inequalities. It argues that achieving gender parity and youth inclusion under MW2063 requires moving beyond infrastructure expansion towards an integrated approach that combines affordable access, digital capability development, participatory governance, locally relevant content, and safeguards for women and youth. It concludes with policy-relevant recommendations for aligning MW2063's implementation instruments with its stated aspirations for inclusive digital citizenship. Keywords: Malawi Vision 2063; digital chasm; youth inclusion; gender parity; digital infrastructure; digital literacy; leapfrogging.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze identity management strategies through personal branding on social media in Makassar City. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach and was conducted from April to May 2026. The research involved five informants selected through purposive sampling based on the criteria of individuals belonging to sexual minority groups, residing in Makassar City, and actively using Instagram and/or TikTok. Data were collected through digital documentation, non-participant observation, and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that social media serves as a strategic space for identity management through personal branding by creating consistent content, utilizing lifestyle symbols, and maintaining active interactions with audiences. The informants consciously constructed digital identities that reflected their personal characteristics, social roles, and activities, such as content creators, active university students, and individuals with extensive social networks. The identities presented primarily emphasized a positive social image as part of their identity management strategy in the digital environment. From the perspective of Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theory, these practices represent a form of impression management, in which social media functions as the front stage for displaying carefully constructed identities, while more personal aspects of life are reserved for the back stage. This study demonstrates that social media functions not only as a communication platform but also as an important space for identity management, personal branding, social recognition, and the maintenance of social presence in the digital era. Keywords: Personal Branding; Social Medial; Impression Management

Abstract

The development of social media has shifted the meaning of healing among young people from a process of psychological recovery to a lifestyle trend. This phenomenon is evident among young people in Mataram City, where healing is interpreted through various recreational, consumption-based, and leisure activities. This study aims to analyze the culture of healing as a lifestyle trend among young people in Mataram City using Mike Featherstone's consumer culture perspective. This study employed a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that healing practices are manifested in three main forms: location consumption, object consumption, and activities. These practices are influenced by internal factors, including the need to relieve stress, seek entertainment, maintain physical health, and engage in self-reward, as well as external factors such as social media and peer influence. Healing practices have positive impacts, including stress reduction, improved physical health, and better financial management, but they also contribute to consumerist behavior, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), social media hyperreality, and hedonistic tendencies. The findings indicate that healing has evolved into a form of symbolic consumption through which young people construct their identity, self-image, and social existence.   Keywords: Healing Practices; Lifestyle Trend; Young People; Consumer Culture; Social Media

Abstract

As a newly established ministry in Indonesia, the Ministry of Culture faces the challenge of building public understanding of its existence, functions, and cultural agenda in an increasingly digital society. This challenge coincides with a 60% increase in student demand for public relations internships at the Directorate of Cultural Diplomacy, Promotion, and Cooperation from 2025 to 2026, reflecting growing student interest in cultural institutions and digital communication. This study examines how artificial intelligence shapes creative culture and ethical negotiation among public relations interns. Drawing on digital anthropology, AI is understood not merely as a technological tool but as an emerging cultural practice that reshapes creativity, cultural representation, authorship, and ethical responsibility. Using a qualitative reflective approach based on the author’s experience supervising interns in producing visual designs, videos, and digital content, the study finds that students’ limitations in creative and technical skills can be transformed into collective strengths through mentoring, human judgment, cultural sensitivity, and institutional guidance. AI expands opportunities for creative experimentation and efficient content production, yet supervision remains essential to ensure accuracy, cultural relevance, ethical integrity, and alignment with institutional objectives. The study positions internships as spaces of cultural collaboration between students and government institutions, fostering mutual learning while strengthening public communication about culture. Responsible AI use is therefore not only a technological competence but also a cultural and ethical practice grounded in human creativity and institutional responsibility.
