Abstract

The study focuses on two PSI's political posters. It aims to analyze some political posters made for the campaign of the election. The posters were chosen randomly. The visual devices are analyzed using Kress and van Leeuwen’s model. A political discourse approach by van Leeuwen is adopted to identify the main discourse strategies to persuade people, especially young people, to vote in a specific way. The result shows that the posters use visual and linguistic strategies to convey a political discourse and to persuade the young audience to vote—the background of the posters, colors, body language, and facial expressions. The written text used in the poster is also effectively structured to represent the party’s ideologies and the candidate.

Abstract

This study investigates the intersection of women, Islam, and disability as represented in the literary works of Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim (RII), a disabled woman author. RII's work is significant for its advocacy of women's independence and equality with men, while also highlighting the potential and agency of people with disabilities. The research aims to uncover how RII, as a disabled author, promotes innovation, independence, and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Employing a qualitative methodology, this study analyzes RII's writings through the lens of hermeneutic theory, encompassing textual, contextual, and critical interpretations. Feminist theory is also utilized to examine RII's personal advocacy for women's dignity. Data, derived from RII's authorship and literary works. This research lies in its unique intersectional approach, examining the representation of women, Islam, and disability in the work of a single author. The study reveals that while the struggles and rights of women, as portrayed in RII's novels, align with Islamic values of equality as found in the Qur'an, the lived experiences of people with disabilities often fall short of this ideal. RII's work seeks to challenge societal perceptions and advocate for justice and inclusivity, aiming to transform perspectives on disability and promote equality in all aspects of life. This study has the potential to contribute to a deeper understanding of the representation of disability in literature, particularly within the context of Islamic and feminist discourses. It can inform discussions on social justice, inclusivity, and the rights of marginalized groups.

Abstract

Media representations of Javanese domestic servants, especially in the Indonesian film industry, have been characterized by persistent stereotypes. Historically, Javanese laborers have been depicted as loyal, weak, and submissive, reinforcing cultural assumptions about their roles in urban households. This study examines the portrayal of Javanese domestic workers in Indonesian films, emphasizing how these stereotypes reflect broader cultural perspectives on class, ethnicity, and rural-to-urban migration. Using a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative content analysis of five popular Indonesian films with quantitative audience reception surveys and interviews, the research explores both the encoded media messages and how diverse viewers decode them. Findings reveal that films commonly encode Javanese domestic workers as polite, diligent, humble, and submissive, often using cultural markers such as traditional attire and dialects to reinforce these images. However, audience responses vary significantly: about 19% of viewers accept these portrayals uncritically (dominant-hegemonic decoding), 81% engage with them critically, partially accepting but also questioning their relevance and accuracy (negotiated decoding), and 38.1% actively reject the stereotypes, criticizing their role in perpetuating discrimination and calling for more diverse and empowering representations (oppositional decoding). This study highlights the complexity of media reception and underscores the influential role of films in shaping societal perceptions of ethnic minorities, particularly domestic workers. It calls for filmmakers to move beyond reductive stereotypes and to present more nuanced and inclusive narratives that reflect the evolving realities and aspirations of Javanese communities.
