Abstract

The documentary film The Social Dilemma (2020) successfully popularized criticism of the dangers of social media algorithms and surveillance capitalism. However, behind its critical narrative, the film conceals a paradox: it was produced and distributed by Netflix, a technology giant whose business model is also based on retaining customer attention and data. This study aims to unravel this contradiction by analyzing how The Social Dilemma, as a cultural product, has the potential to become part of the very system of technological industrial capitalism it seeks to critique. This study uses a qualitative approach with critical discourse analysis methods and is based on Vincent Mosco's Political Economy of Communication framework to examine aspects of commodification, spatialization, and structuration in film production and consumption. The analysis shows that the film's narrative, while effective in depicting problems, offers pseudo-solutions that are individualistic and technocratic, thus failing to address the systemic roots of capitalism. The criticisms expressed by "technology rebels" are also neutralized and commodified by the same system. This study concludes that The Social Dilemma is an ideological paradox: it serves as a “catharsis” for a restless public, but at the same time serves as a bulwark that limits discourse so that it does not threaten the status quo of the tech industry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the reconfiguration of hegemony in the representation of Iran’s power in the news coverage of iNews and tvOne regarding the Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict during the period June 2025 to May 2026. The study is motivated by the increasing intensity of the conflict, which occurs not only in the military domain but also in discursive struggles within mass media. Media play an important role in shaping public perceptions through processes of social construction. This research adopts a critical paradigm with a qualitative approach and employs Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis method, which consists of textual analysis, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice. The research data were obtained from iNews and tvOne news coverage related to the Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict during the study period. The findings show that iNews tends to represent Iran as an actor with strategic capacity and resilience in facing geopolitical pressure, while tvOne emphasizes Iran’s offensive capabilities through reports on successful attacks against Israel. These differences indicate a process of meaning negotiation in media coverage that is not fully aligned with dominant global narratives about Iran. From Antonio Gramsci’s perspective of hegemony, these findings indicate a reconfiguration of hegemony marked by the emergence of alternative representations of Iran’s position and power in international conflict. Thus, media do not only function as producers of dominant discourse but also as arenas of ideological struggle and meaning construction in the public sphere.

Abstract

Media coverage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues in Indonesia is often framed in terms of morality, religion, and social order, thereby shaping specific representations of sexual minority groups. This study aims to analyze how Kompas.com and Detik.com constructed morality in their coverage of an alleged indecent act between two male students at the Jakarta State Polytechnic (PNJ) in early June 2026, and to interpret the results of that construction using Edward Said’s postcolonial perspective. This study employs a qualitative approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis method to examine eight news articles published by both media outlets between June 2 and 8, 2026. The results show that Detik.com framed the case as a violation of campus norms and regulations by emphasizing the chronology of events, institutional responses, and compliance with rules, thereby reinforcing the perpetrators’ position as deviants from the dominant morality (the Other). In contrast, Kompas.com framed the case more reflectively by presenting the views of academics who highlighted justice, consistency in the application of rules, the ethics of handling the case, and the potential for discrimination against sexual minority groups. From Said’s postcolonial perspective, both media outlets reproduced a moral discourse that limits space for non-heterosexual identities, albeit with varying degrees of criticism.
