Abstract

There appears to have been a shift in public opinion regarding President Prabowo’s Leadership. This study examines the network of public narratives about President Prabowo formed in the comments section of the official Instagram account @gerindra. With increased public discussion about the performance of the Prabowo-Gibran administration, Instagram has become the main space for the public to express opinions, offer suggestions, and evaluate government policies. This study aims to analyze the public narrative network in the comments section of the @gerindra Instagram account. It uses a post-positivist paradigm with a mixed-methods approach and analyzes three posting periods (November 15, 2023), the election period (February 17, 2024), and one year in office (October 20, 2025). Data were collected using IGcomment.com; dominant narratives were mapped using Voyant Tools; narrative forms were examined using Nvivo; and narrative networks were visualized using Gephi 0.10.1. The results show that public narratives change over time and across political situations, and that key actors construct narrative content in the comment section. These findings indicate that the Instagram comment section @gerindra is the leading platform for the public to build narratives and opinions, as well as evaluate government performance. Further research is expected to discuss the habits of social media users through the actors involved.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the representation of ecological crises, human relations with nature, as well as environmental ethics and human responsibility towards nature in the novel Api Awan Asap by Korrie Layun Rampan. This research uses a qualitative paradigm with a descriptive-interpretive approach through the hermeneutic method to interpret the deepest meaning behind the literary text. The source of data for this research is the novel Api Awan Asap by Korrie Layun Rampan published by Gramedia Widiasarana Indonesia in 2015. The research data is in the form of words, sentences, and discourses contained in the novel Api Awan Asap which represents the ecological crisis and human responsibility towards nature. The results of the study show that this novel represents an ecological crisis through the depiction of exploitative activities such as deforestation, land burning, and appropriation of customary territories that result in air pollution, land degradation, and ecological disasters. The relationship between humans and nature is depicted through the practice of local wisdom of indigenous peoples who live in harmony with the environment and use nature wisely. The moral principles of the environment and human obligations to nature are manifested through a value system that respects nature, tradition-based forest management, and educational and humanitarian approaches in an effort to prevent environmental damage. From the findings, it can be concluded that literary works function as instruments in building ecological awareness and motivating responsible human actions towards nature conservation.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has changed the way Generation Z obtains information. This study aims to analyze how Generation Z receives messages from the Instagram account @AboutCirebon and how they assess the credibility of the content shared. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method with seven Generation Z informants, who actively follow the @AboutCirebon account, interviewed in depth to collect data, supplemented by observation and content documentation. The results show that Generation Z cognitively relies on visual aspects without comprehensive supervision. The emotional dimension reveals impulsive reactions triggered by pride in local culture and dissatisfaction with public issues. Aesthetic appreciation of visual content is high, while educational value is neglected. Moral awareness of social media interactions is not yet deep, with informants aged between seventeen and twenty-one years old receiving messages simply as entertainment. Generation Z often assesses the credibility of content with quick decisions such as account reputation and local context relevance. However, additional confirmation from other sources is rarely done. New media literacy needs to be strengthened through collaboration between local media, educational institutions, and the government to encourage critical, ethical, and responsible media consumption among Generation Z.
