The results showed that Tamo Venue successfully implemented six strategic elements: alignment with MICE trends, original event concepts, non-repetitive execution, creation of tangible and intangible experiences, ambience and service quality, and an adaptive service approach.

Abstract

Film is one of the mass communication media, producing and displaying a message or ideology. This study aims to analyze the representation of culture and resistance to colonialism in the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach in a Qualitative method. Data were obtained from selected scenes that display visual symbols such as hand gesture symbols, spiritual interactions with ancestors, conversations between characters, costume that shows culture, and women's leadership and traditional-modern technology. The results of this study are 1) women's emancipation through female figures who lead and are strong to break the stigma of weak women and challenging subordinative stereotypes 2) culture as an element and foundation for forming identity reflected in language, costume, architecture, and spiritual traditions 3) the film builds a counter-narrative to the colonial view by repositioning Africa and Mesoamerica as advanced, sovereign, and spiritually valuable regions. This representation shows that cultural identity and communal solidarity are the main forces in facing neocolonial domination. These findings contribute to media and cultural studies by highlighting how popular films can be a medium for the articulation of postcolonial ideology and symbolic resistance through visual narratives.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between discourse functions (acclaim, attack, and defense) and policy content (past deeds and future plans) in the West Papua Governor and Vice Governor Election debate in 2024. This study focuses on the only candidate pair (Paslon 1) who participated in the debate, thus providing a different environment to study communication strategies in a non-competitive debate context. Content analysis was conducted through a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. 287 speech units were coded based on discourse function categories. The results showed that the acclaim function dominated at 94.24%, with 68.88% of the statements used to convey future plans. Since there was no debate opponent, there was only 0.58% attack function and 5.19% defense function, indicating a low confrontational strategy. A significant relationship between discourse function and policy content was found through the Chi-Square test (χ2 = 35.229; p < 0.001). However, the predictive value for 50% of the cells was less than 5. These results suggest that Paslon 1's communication strategy was affirmative and prospective, emphasizing self-image and future vision rather than defending or attacking. This study not only supports the political communication theory of strategic self-presentation, but also contributes to research on local political rhetoric in Indonesia, especially in the context of elections that lack significant competition. The results also emphasize how important debates are as a way to shape image and legitimacy, even without having a direct opponent.
