Abstract

This article examines cyberattacks on government-managed systems from the perspective of social epistemology. The development of information technology, particularly the internet, has changed the way governments operate and interact with the public. However, these changes have also created new vulnerabilities to cyberattacks that can disrupt public services, undermine public trust and threaten national security. Social epistemology, with its focus on how knowledge and beliefs are constructed and disseminated in society, provides a useful analytical framework for understanding these cyberattack dynamics. This article examines how cyberattacks affect the production, distribution and validation of knowledge in the context of governance. By analyzing how different actors, including governments, hackers, and the public, interact and form a shared understanding of threats and cybersecurity, this article aims to provide insights on how to build more effective cybersecurity strategies and improve the resilience of government systems to cyberattacks. In addition, this article will also discuss the philosophical implications of cyberattacks, specifically related to the thoughts of Heidegger, Latour, Clark, and Postman, to understand how technology shapes social and political interactions in the context of cybersecurity. Effective IT governance, which integrates socio-technical understanding, is crucial in mitigating risks and building public trust in the digital age.

Abstract

Timor-Leste is the youngest country in the world with unique religious dynamics. The Catholic population increased rapidly after independence, while the Muslim population decreased drastically due to political dynamics. The presence of Mari Alkatiri, an Arab-descended Timorese Muslim who became Prime Minister (PM) twice, is a depiction of the presence of Islam in a Catholic-majority country. The long history of colonialism in Timor-Leste has greatly influenced the landscape of religious life there. In its development, the people of Timor-Leste live harmoniously and democratically. This journal uses a qualitative research method that focuses on the social and cultural phenomena of the religious life of the people of Timor-Leste. The approach is historical and narrative about the history of the entry of religion, the role of political and religious figures, and changes in the demographics of the population that are influenced by the domestic political landscape. The method used is a literature study with historical documentation. The theory used by the author is the Multiculturalism Theory by Bikhu Parekh, because it discusses the existence of an Islamic minority in the midst of a Catholic majority. Also, how a Muslim figure can have a big role in the political arena of this Catholic-majority country. From this study, several conclusions were found, including that the Muslim population decreased drastically after East Timor's independence from Indonesia due to the development of the political situation there. Islam, which is now a minority, was actually the first religion to enter there, brought by the Hadramaut Arabs. Catholicism then spread massively through Portuguese colonialism.

Abstract

In today's hyper-competitive branding environment, marketing strategies are no longer solely focused on product promotion but have evolved into cultural practices that shape societal norms, values, and identities. This study explores how Pristine, a premium bottled mineral water brand, utilized brand activation through the #BergerakLebihBaik campaign to not only increase brand awareness but also construct a cultural narrative around health, wellness, and lifestyle among urban Indonesian consumers. Through a mixed-method qualitative approach including social media observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, this research demonstrates how the campaign functioned as a cultural artifact that mediated discourses of modern health, digital engagement, and consumer identity. The results show that the campaign achieved significant online and offline reach, indicating successful brand-culture integration.

Abstract

International media play a powerful role in shaping global perceptions of political legitimacy, particularly in states where authoritarian governance coexists with economic success. Vietnam—often described as a one-party socialist state with rapid economic growth—has attracted increased attention in international news coverage, yet little research has examined how its leadership is discursively constructed through media narratives. This study addresses that gap by analyzing how Vietnam’s political leadership was represented in international media from 2018 to 2024. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Stuart Hall’s theory of representation, the research investigates how ideology, power, and meaning are embedded in news coverage from seven major outlets: BBC News, The Guardian, The Straits Times, Al Jazeera, Le Monde, Reuters, and the South China Morning Post. From a qualitative analysis of 40 purposively sampled articles, three dominant narratives emerge: (1) Vietnam’s leadership is portrayed as authoritarian, especially in relation to media control; (2) political reforms are framed as pragmatic and tied to economic performance; and (3) legitimacy is constructed through effective governance during crises. These findings reveal that representations of leadership are shaped not only by events in Vietnam, but also by the ideological positions and geopolitical interests of the media outlets themselves. This study contributes to political communication and media representation research by showing how leadership in socialist states is symbolically constructed and evaluated through transnational discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of foreign husbands in South Korean television by analyzing the reality TV show *My Neighbor, Charles*, which features intermarried couples of Korean women and foreign men. It examines the narrative patterns associated with white and non-white foreign husbands. Utilizing the three-act narrative structure theory as an analytical framework, Stuart Hall's concepts of representation and Dyer's work on Whiteness, this research reveals how Korean media, particularly television, reflects unbalanced and racially biased portrayals of foreign husbands. Such unequal representations not only illustrate the practice of racism within the Korean context but also shed light on how Korea perceives its cultural identity in the increasingly multicultural landscape of contemporary society. Additionally, this study contributes to the discourse on transnational marriage in East Asia.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between language choice, especially the use of the form of address gue lo, and the disclosure of the cultural identity of Javanese students at Universitas Indonesia. This study adopts a descriptive mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collected through a survey of 52 Javanese student respondents. The results indicate that most respondents used the form of address gue lo when interacting with peers from outside Java, whereas alternative forms were more commonly used with other Javanese students. Correlation tests revealed a negative relationship between the intensity of gue lo usage and the desire to express cultural identity. That is, the higher the desire to show Javanese identity, the less frequently gue lo was used. The findings imply that language choice serves both as an adaptation strategy and a means of asserting identity in multicultural interactions. These findings can be used as a basis for further research to explore the relationship between language as a form of representation and its influence on social dynamics within diverse societies such as Indonesia.

Abstract

The discourse of the male gaze in popular culture constructs ideal standards of femininity deemed attractive based on traits and physical appearances that are desired by men. The film Bambang (2022) is an example of media that employs the male gaze as an exclusive tool to present female characters. By applying the mise-en-scène analysis method in film studies, this article explores the problem of female characters representation that is reduced to be desired objects through the concepts of Laura Mulvey's male gaze and Lacanian objet petit a. This article finds that Bambang (2022) utilizes objectifying dialogue by the two main male characters to present and represent the female characters, while intended to create a humorous effect. The female characters are evaluated based on their appearances, regarded as “leftovers” to be contested, and depicted as objects of sexual desire for men. Although the female characters hold crucial roles in the story, their identities can only be imagined based on what the male characters describe. Despite their absence, they remain as desired objects for the male characters.

This situation affects the growth and evolution of other activities in urban areas such as the emergence of new residential areas, industrial zones, and trade and service (commercial) areas. The government of DKI Jakarta is targetting to develop many public transportation infrastructure due to its target of 2040 70% of Jakarta residents live near by transit points. So that the distance of residential residents to urban facilities can be reached within 15 minutes of walking, cycling or using public transportation. This study method is based on literature searches and stakeholder interviews by looking at comparisons of other city developments and DKI Jakarta Government policies related to Transit-Oriented Development areas which are part of the realization of 15-Minute City. The Jakarta 15-Minute City development concept is the government's effort to create an inclusive environment that is a place for all parts of its citizens and an effort to maintain sustainable development in SDG-11.

Abstract

"This article examines the establishment of Jakarta International School (JIS) within the context of the globalisation of Indonesia. Established in 1951 under the name International School of Djakarta by Antoinette Stepanek, an educator from the United States, it was the first school to provide an English-language education for the children of expatriates in Jakarta, Indonesia. The school underwent several name changes throughout its history. In 1965, the school was renamed to Joint Embassy School to reflect the support from a coalition of embassies, consisting of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Yugoslavia. In 1978, the school was renamed again to Jakarta International School as it expanded and welcomed students from a broader international community. Finally, in 2014, it was again renamed to Jakarta Intercultural School aligning with Indonesian regulations restricting the use of the word “international” in school names. The establishment of JIS reflects globalisation and internationalism in Indonesia, particularly in the post-World War II and early post-independence context. JIS was founded to serve the children of expatriates such as diplomats, foreign businesspeople and development workers who had come to Indonesia following its internationally recognized independence in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The school itself is a symbol of international cooperation, and its establishment reflects Indonesia’s openness to international collaboration and the broader global trend of international schooling to support global mobility. From its modest beginnings in a house in Kebun Sirih to becoming the most recognized and renowned international education institution in the country with a sprawling academic complex that spans a total area of almost 19 hectares across its three campuses in South Jakarta, this paper provides an overview of the establishment of the school and how its growth mirrors broader global trends in international education and human mobility and is a reflection of globalisation in Indonesia. Utilising primary sources such as interviews with alumni and faculty members, and documents from archives, as well as secondary sources such as books and journal articles, this study aims to contribute to the historiography of education, diplomacy and globalisation in Indonesia. This paper will provide historical insights regarding the establishment of Jakarta International School and its connection to globalisation in Indonesia through the context of diplomacy and education. This research seeks to enrich the understanding of the intricate connections between international development, foreign policy and education."

Abstract

This paper examines the historical and contemporary dynamics of the Blok M area in Jakarta as a public space undergoing a process of spatial, cultural, and symbolic transformation. Using Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space and then relating it to the discourse of urban memory according to Abidin Kusno, this study traces how Blok M developed from the modernist urban planning of Kebayoran Baru after independence to be the epicenter of youth festivity, then declined until it rose again through a place that utilized the memory of this area in the past. This study highlights how the politics of marginalization, cultural practices, and power discourses through infrastructure shape the meaning of an urban area in Jakarta. By analyzing historical narratives, visual artefacts, and urban planning policies, this article argues that changes in Blok M represent physical transformation and struggle over collective memory, middle-class identity, and power relations in the production of the contemporary urban space of Jakarta.
