Abstract

This study examines the portrayal of domestic violence against women in the Thai drama Tie Me (K)not (2022) using Johan Galtung’s theory of violence, which categorizes violence into direct, structural, and cultural forms. Through qualitative content analysis, the research identifies how the drama depicts these forms of violence, reflecting broader societal issues in Thailand. The findings reveal explicit instances of direct violence, such as physical and psychological abuse, systemic structural violence through institutional failures in justice and support systems, and cultural violence rooted in patriarchal traditions that justify gender inequality. The drama not only highlights these oppressive dynamics but also challenges them through the protagonist’s journey toward empowerment. By analyzing these representations, the study underscores the role of media in raising awareness about domestic violence and advocates for societal and policy changes to address gender-based violence in Thailand. This research contributes to discussions on media, gender studies, and violence prevention, emphasizing the need for cultural and structural reforms to protect women’s rights.

Abstract

This research explores the role of Korean dramas (K- dramas) as a catalyst for South Korea’s cultural diplomacy in Indonesia over the decade 2015–2025, emphasizing how major drama releases contribute to strengthening soft- power influence. In early March 2024, Netflix premiered the Korean drama “Queen of Tears,” which quickly rose to the top of the Non- English Global TOP 10 list for the week of March 25–31, recording 93.8 million viewing hours. The drama reached top- 10 rankings in 68 countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and India. This global achievement represents the culmination of a decade- long effort by South Korea to construct the perception and appeal of the Korean Wave (Hallyu), reinforcing its role as a powerful instrument of cultural diplomacy. Hallyu has expanded considerably as a strategic soft- power tool, enabling South Korea to improve international relations while simultaneously driving significant economic gains. The global consumption of Hallyu products increased South Korea’s GDP by 0.2% in 2004, equivalent to approximately 1.87 billion dollars, and continued to rise to 12.3 billion dollars by 2019. This economic impact demonstrates how South Korea’s cultural industries have become central to the nation’s diplomatic and economic strategies. Indonesia plays a key role in this development; according to a 2023 South Korean government survey, Indonesia ranked first among 26 countries in the consumption of Korean cultural content, reaching 35.5%. This high level of engagement reflects the deep cultural connection built through sustained exposure to K- dramas. This study applies both qualitative and quantitative methods to assess how South Korean cultural diplomacy particularly through K- dramas has influenced public perception, cultural affinity, and cross- sector economic impacts in Indonesia. Particular focus is given to “Queen of Tears” and its implications for South Korea’s tourism and beauty industries by late 2024, both from Indonesian audiences and the broader international market. The findings indicate that narrative appeal, emotional depth, and global digital distribution channels have significantly strengthened South Korea’s soft- power presence in Indonesia, contributing to increased cultural exchange and positive bilateral sentiment. Overall, this research concludes that K- dramas represent one of South Korea’s most successful cultural diplomacy instruments over the last decade, shaping cultural preferences and fostering deeper international engagement.

Abstract

Art archives hold a crucial role in the production of knowledge and the writing of art history. In Indonesia, however, the management and accessibility of art archives remain uneven, resulting in significant gaps within art historiography. This article examines how art archives function not merely as repositories of documentation, but as cultural practices and public knowledge infrastructures that shape the conditions of art history writing. Using a qualitative approach, this study combines literature review with case studies of selected archival initiatives in Indonesia, including the Indonesian Visual Art Archive (IVAA), Pusat Dokumentasi Salihara, and Dicti Art Laboratory. The findings reveal that the limited availability and accessibility of art archives contribute directly to the fragility of Indonesian art historiography, while independent and community-based archival initiatives have played a vital role in addressing this gap by activating archives through exhibitions, educational programs, and research-based curatorial practices. The article further highlights how these initiatives reposition archives from private or institutional storage into the public sphere, enabling new forms of interpretation and engagement. A comparative reflection on archival practices in Singapore demonstrates how the institutional integration of archives can strengthen research, collection development, and public access simultaneously. This study argues that strengthening Indonesian art historiography requires not only new scholarly interpretations, but also sustained attention to archival practices, governance, and access. By situating art archives as active sites of knowledge production rather than passive historical traces, this article underscores their significance in shaping more inclusive and sustainable narratives of Indonesian art history.

Abstract

Studies on political speeches in Nigeria have focused essentially on the speeches of political office inaugural speeches and speeches of political office holders, while not much appears to be done on the speeches of candidates who did not succeed in the election. Thus, this study undertakes a critical analysis of discourse and ideological strategies in the presidential campaign speeches of Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, in the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria. Mr Peter Obi's speech in Akwa Ibom State is purposively selected as our data for this study, and Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA), with emphasis on the “ideological square”, is our chosen theoretical framework. In all, eight (8) excerpts are selected from the speech as our data for the study, and they are analysed following van Dijk’s ideological square in his socio-cognitive approach. The findings reveal the significant role that language plays in expressing, changing, and reproducing ideologies in political campaign speeches and the role ideology plays in constructing the positive image of the self and the negative image of others.

Abstract

In the background ofChina's deepening economic engagement with Indonesia under the Belt and Road Initiative, increasing numbers of Chinese workers have entered Indonesian industrial zones, creating a workplace environment characterized by intensive cross-cultural interaction. While previous studies on cross-cultural adaptation have primarily emphasized macro-level cultural barriers and language difficulties, this research shifts attention to the micro-level communicative practices through which cultural adaptation is negotiated in everyday collaboration. Drawing on Howard Giles' Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT), this study conducts a qualitative analysis of TikTok videos depicting workplace interactions between Chinese and Indonesian workers particularly those labeled "Day 1 kerja sama orang China." Through analysis of high-engagement videos, the study identifies three communication strategies that Chinese and Indonesian workers employ under conditions of language barrier: technology-mediate translation, multimodal non-verbal communication, and creative expressions emerging from shared labor experience. These strategies operate not as sequential stages but as complementary forms of convergence through which both groups actively reduce communicative friction, sustain cooperation, and co-construct shared meaning. Findings indicate that cross-cultural adaptation among Sino-Indonesian laborers is not a product of unilateral assimilation but a cumulative result of repeated attempts to understand and be understood, leading to the emergence of pragmatic hybrid workplace expressions and a growing sense of shared identity. At the digital level, TikTok functions as a mediator that amplifies and reframes cross-cultural communication, normalizing everyday cooperation while simultaneously risking the reproduction of entertainment-driven stereotypes.

Abstract

This article examines the role of the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shinbun in covering the great East Japan disaster on March 11-13, 2011. This study uses a quantitative and qualitative approach, with content analysis methods and Gunther-Kress multimodal critical discourse analysis methods on 98 photos published by the newspaper. The results show that the newspaper published a special edition twice, with photos that did not show photos of the deceased victims, creating a distance between the reader and the subject. Most of the photos were taken from a distance, indicating a lack of interaction and showing that the victims did not need help. The theme highlights physical damage more than mitigation efforts or victims, with an imbalance in regional representation. Qualitative analysis shows that techniques such as aerial photography provide a broad picture of the impact of the disaster, but reduce emotional closeness. The flat facial expressions emphasize the resilience of the community. These findings confirm that the visuals in disaster coverage shape emotional narratives that influence public response, and the importance of coverage strategies in understanding and responding to disasters.
