The rise of citizen journalism gives the public an opportunity for producing news which has been previously controlled by the mass media institutions. In this case, the citizen acts not only a news consumer, but also as a news producer and consumer at the same time (prosumer). Based on these phenomena, this research tries to see how citizens carry out commodification. Analyses of computer-mediated communication with the media of Kompasiana reveal that space for citizen journalism has become a medium for self commodification in accordance with their target or values they want to achieve. The results of this research also show that the citizens used the media in order to gain personal motives such as to get material benefits or to build a self-image. In the level of media space, the facilities provided by Kompasiana like a description of profile and comment column can be used for prosumer activity. It is possible for the audience to employ this facility to promote the products or the users themselves as products. Based on research questions and findings in the field, some conclusions can be drawn. First, the presence of media citizen journalism no longer positions the audience as a passive audience entity, affected only by information produced by the media industry. Second, the audience is involved as a subject who gives information in citizen journalism for private interest such as for practical economic activity.

A nation could be a great one as long as it has a great dream. The best example for this is America. Through its long history, it manages to realize a dream to be a superpower. It can be said that “American Dream” is one of the most significant features for the growth of a “constantly eyeing for winner” culture. American Studies experts call it as a “hegemonic culture” in which American norms, values and cultural practices are considered superior against the world culture. Globalizing the culture has been the most effective engine to spread American cultural values and to shape the global civilizations. Using American Studies perspective, this paper attempts to review the extent to which the “American Dream” has successfully established Americanization, as well as how the hegemonic culture has influenced the lives of peoples across the world in the form of popular culture.

This paper examines multicultural literature as a significant and strategic object of study in response to solving national problems. In this context, multicultural literature focuses mainly on multicultural problems frequently found in literary works. One of the main issues is concerned with identity. This article examines Indonesian novels, focusing mainly on the issues of identity: (1) identity and identity problems; (2) identity articulation; (3) text representation on identity discourse in Indonesian novels. The literature sociological approach was adopted to comprehend the reality in multicultural literary texts in Indonesian novels and its relation with the phenomena of identity problems in other field of studies. The results of study indicate that the process of identity articulation and text representation on identity discourse in multicultural social phenomena deserve more serious attention. Furthermore, the problems of identity and the process of identity articulation in multicultural society also require serious attention since identity problems are closely associated with nationality. National identity is not stable but dynamic in dealing with the development of a nation. The lack of concerns on this issue may cause a serious problem of national integrity.

On the one one hand, the Bajo people are well-known as ‘the sea people’ who have their own indigenous belief system – belief in the Lord of the Sea. On the other hand, they also acknowledge themselves as Muslims. Thus, the religious identity of the Bajo people reflects a unique combination of Islamic teachings and their indigenous beliefs. This unique combination is not only expressed in their religious life, in their rituals and worship practices, but also in the values found in their customary practices (adat) as a guiding system for their life. This paper examines the construction and contestation of the religious identity of the Bajo people, especially how they construct their identities in relation to their natural, social, and religious environments. The contestation of the Bajo religious identity covers three aspects: the contestation of the Islam of ‘the sea people’ against the Islam of ‘the land people’, the contenstation of the ‘official’ Islam against the ‘traditional’ Islam, and the challenges of modernity, especially the commodification of the Bajo religious expressions. This contestation, in turn, reconstructs their religious identity into a more adaptive one.

The Javanese language, one of non territorial languages used by minority Javanese migrants in New Caledonia, today is categorized as an endangered language. French domination and lack of language transmission have marginalized this language. This research aims to describe the situation of Javanese language and to examine the strategies the Javanese speakers perform to maintain their language by using qualitative method. The data, in forms of linguistic units, were collected through interviews with representative informants and through direct communications with Javanese language speakers in Nouméa and Kone New Caledonia in February 2013. The analysis shows that linguistic hybridization becomes one of the characteristics of Javanese language in New Caledonia, while the adaptation, integration, increasing the wealth and prestige are the form of its survival strategies to save their language.

This paper aims to describe the domination of foreign languages on the use of Indonesian and local languages, and the resistance of the dominated languages in the naming of public enterprises in Yogyakarta. All data presented in this paper are obtained through observation to the public enterprise names found in Yogyakarta and classified based on their origin and the ways of creating resistence. The investigation yields that besides the most prominent English, there are several other foreign languages which influence theenterprise naming practices. Those are Arabic, Italy, France, Chinese, and Japanese. In some cases, the dominated Indonesian and Javanese show resistance by creating names which are orthographically, lexically, and grammatically resamble or similar to the expressions of the dominated languages. The domination should be seriously aware of by all Indonesian communities in order to succesfully maintain the sustainable existence of Indonesian and the local languages.

Folklore is part of Balinese life. Although the existence of folklore in Bali has undergone some fluctuation, attempts have been made by the local government and society in Bali to preserve this cultural form. The aim is prevent folklore from extinction, especially because of the wave of globalization with its capitalistic force in order for the future generation of Balinese not to forget about their own culture. One of the efforts made by the Balinese government and society to preserve the existence of folklore in Bali is a competition called “Mesatue Bali”, run in the Bali arts festivals and other activities, and the publication of books. In the various competitions and performances of folklore, some form of transformation occurs from folklore to performance art. From an educational perspective, this transformation, especially for the young generation, means love and preservation, creativity, understanding of performance art, and character education. Performance art allows the young generation to understand more deeply and enact the characters, both good and bad, in folklore. Thus, they can follow the example of the good characters but not the bad characters.

While semantics analyze the informative meaning, pragmatics focus its attention on the communicative meaning, which is what is implied (by the speaker/writer) in context. Therefore, discourses containing implicit elements, such as advertising discourse, political discourse, or humorous discourse, are resourceful and inspirational terrains for pragmatics-based studies. Perlocutionary act is one of the implicit elements as it implies the influencing power or effect on the the speaker’s/writer’s choices to the hearer/reader. This paper discusses the discourse of corruption, that is dominated by the informative meaning. Journalist’s choices such as menghukum ‘sentence’, divonis ‘be sentenced’, melakukan tindak korupsi ‘do corruption act’ are merely informative so that they have a low perlocutive power or low pragmatic power. Critical pragmatic analysis indicates that such choices do not show the journalist’s sidedness to the low class society that is most harmed by the corruption acts. The purpose of this paper is to encourage journalists to be more empathetic to the lower class society and to make choices which have a higher perlocutive power in order to bring harder effect to the targeted segment, corruptors.

This paper, which is a contrastive analysis, is concerned with the study of aspect in Muna and Indonesian languages with aims to describe the similarity and difference of aspect in both languages. It uses both oral and written data which are collected by using recording and introspection techniques, and analyzed by using contrastive analysis. The result of the study shows that Muna uses infix {-um-} and prefix {m-} to express future event, while Indonesian uses lexicon akan ‘will’ or mau ‘want’ as future aspects; Muna uses nando and Indonesian uses sedang, sementara, masih, tengah, baru, and pada before the verb as durative or progressive aspects; Muna uses suffix {mo-} and lexicon padamo to express past event, while Indonesian uses only lexicon sudah or telah as perfective aspects; and Muna differentiates the concept of negative sentences in the past and in the future; Muna uses lexicon miina ‘did not’ to express negative statement in the past, and uses prefix {pa:-} ‘will not’ to express negative statement in the future, while Indonesian does not differentiate positive and negative statement of aspect.

Arabic verbs are polymorphemic. Among the Arabic verbs are verbs called basic triliteral verbs. In addition to the root morpheme, there are other morphemes contained in basic triliteral verbs. This study attempts to examine the number and forms of morphemes contained in basic triliteral verbs, which have been much debated. In addition, this study also discusses the morphological, and morphophonological processes and the meaning of morphemes forming the basic triliteral verbs. The data were collected through observation of the conjugation of basic triliteral verbs and of the meanings of the verbs in an Arabic-Indonesian dictionary. Distributional and translational equivalent methods were used to analyze the data. The results reveal that basic triliteral verbs in Arabic are composed of the root morpheme, transfix, and affix of person, number and gender. The morphological process of a basic verb triliteral begins with the transfixation of root morpheme that becomes a base, followed by affixation of person, number and gender. The morphological process can lead to phonological changes. This morphophonological process involves the phonemes /w/, /y/, /`/ and gemination as part of the root morpheme.
