Abstract

This study aims to deconstruct the discourse of beauty standards represented by Unpad Geulis' Instagram account. Using Derrida's framework of deconstruction, the authors dismantle the text structure on Unpad Geulis' beauty standards, in the form of a slim body, clean, smooth face, white skin color and healthy hair as a dominative, hegemonic, and discriminative. Furthermore, the authors employ the reading of différance, to explore the possibility that Unpad Geulis' beauty standards would not exist without the marginalized beauty standards. Such a reading is done by reading horizontally the text structure of Unpad Geulis, to find a new meaning that was previously concealed. The study also indicates objectification and privacy violation of women, displayed on Unpad Geulis, which can affect women’s psychological well-being. Finally, deconstruction dissects the relationship between Unpad Geulis and Universitas Padjajaran (Unpad) as an educational institution, uncovering forms of aporia or contradictions in Unpad's cultural values.

Abstract

In recent years, tobacco farmers on the slopes of Mount Sindoro and Sumbing (Sinsu), Central Java, have experienced a downturn due to the increasingly falling price of dry chopped tobacco. Instead of making a profit, they are in debt to middlemen, which they may not be able to pay off until the next planting season. As a result, many of the farmers decided to switch to agricultural cultivation or quit tobacco altogether. This research argues that the process of the farmers’ leaving tobacco is also influenced by the dynamics of access and the moral economy, as manifest in the metaphor of the "immoral plant". This research applied ethnographic method to trace the long flow of tobacco distribution which contains moral economic practices and complicated access mechanisms which tend to be detrimental to tobacco farmers. The research was conducted using ethnographic methods on three groups of farmers, namely: farmers who continued to grow tobacco in the dry season, then switched to planting vegetables in the rainy season; farmers switching completely to vegetable crops; and farmers who looked for other professions outside of agriculture.

Abstract

This article examines how information about childhood care available on social media affects the construction of ideal Indonesian mothers. Specifically, I pay closer attention to how women's roles and experiences in stunting prevention campaigns are portrayed and enacted online in the context of the digital socialization of these programs. Based on online ethnographic research from 2021-2023, which examined social media accounts of healthcare professionals and mothers, this article explores the construction of “ideal” motherhood within the digital realm of stunting programs. As health care professionals’ social media accounts carried messages and embodied the authoritative power of medical knowledge, they helped foster a digital health community with an explicit interest in childhood care. The results of this study suggest that the images of subordinate mothers and wives are no longer the only representation of ideal Indonesian mothers. Having been normalized as the primary caregiver, mothers are increasingly taught to think about childcare in a similar way to how the Indonesian state views children as valuable future economic assets in stunting programs. Whereas selflessness and self-sacrifice remain important qualities of the so-called good mother, being knowledgeable and practicing future-oriented parenting are additional important properties that a mother should have to fight against a child's growth being stunted.

Abstract

This article examines the realignment of nationalist higher education in Indonesia to suit market interests. Using a cultural political economy approach to knowledge and power, this article selects and analyses university policy reforms and narratives in Indonesia that have guided university reform in the past decades. It suggests that the reorganisation of Indonesia’s higher education sector can be understood through the relationship between structural change in the global economy, which occurs together with cultural shifts within national and local conditions. It looks at how universities and higher education policies are organised in post-authoritarian Indonesia under the framework of neoliberal governance, which prioritises producing knowledge that aligns with the market imperatives. It argues that the marketisation of higher education discursively and materially reconfigures New Order-style development planning and stylises it into ways that accommodate neoliberal demands.

Abstract

This article attempts to describe Simmel’s intellectual thoughts, particularly those related to the mode of human relationship. By applying a systematic literature review, this article demonstrates the uniqueness of Simmelian thought in comparison to other major classical sociological thinkers, like Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, and Max Weber. For Simmel, a macro-level analysis on societal culture can be carried out by focusing on the micro dimension of the everyday life. In this context, Simmel speaks of the tragedy of culture that transpires through the process of objectification, where relationships become increasingly impersonal. At the end, this article provides a commentary on Simmel’s ethical thought and its link to the tragedy of culture.

Abstract

A series of technology transfer programs took place after Indonesia became fully independent, from 1951 until the fall of the New Order (1998). This article unpacks the ways the authoritarian New Order government utilize nationalist discourses, reproduced in the postcolonial context. These programs were framed as an antithesis to the negative psycho-social aspects of Dutch colonialism as a mean of postcolonial national integration, and as a strategy to make Indonesia’s position more equal to the more developed countries. At the same time, the technology transfer programs relied heavily on the high capacity of the authoritarian state. This study asserts that New Order demonstrates a case of a high capacity authoritarian state that utilized the success of the technology transfer programs, along with nationalist discourses, to legitimize its power. This article expands on the arguments of the previous studies that focus on the strong capacity of the state in promoting the technology transfer. The previous studies tend to neglect the post-colonial context (including the reproduction of the discourses of nationalism) in technology transfer program.

Abstract

The implementation of Democratic Policing across various parts of the world demonstrates the interconnectedness of changes in approaches to addressing security issues. This transformation is a result of a systemic shift from operational and managerial police systems. This research seeks to affirm this argument in the policing practices in Mimika, Papua, highlighting changes in the level of community participation in maintaining public safety and order driven by democratic policing practices in the region. This research employs a qualitative method for both data analysis and data collection. Data collection was conducted through interview techniques, meanwhile data analysis is conducted using case study. The results of this research indicate that the implementation of democratic policing in Mimika successfully activated other democratic instruments to be involved in conflict resolution in Papua.

Abstract

This article examines women's involvement in community-based waste management through the Waste Bank program. It argues that women’s participation in managing waste banks reflects the state’s gender ideology, which reinforces the reproduction of female labor and caregiving roles within society. Applying Suryakusuma’s (2011) concept of state ibuism, this study explores women’s roles in the Waste Bank program in Rawa Panjang, Citayam, Bogor Regency. Employing a qualitative approach, it utilizes methods such as observation, focus group discussions (FGDs), photoelicitation interviews, and in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that the Waste Bank program in Rawa Panjang serves as a contemporary manifestation of state ibuism within the broader context of development. Women involved in managing waste banks engage in caregiving labor related to household and community waste management, placing them in vulnerable positions due to exposure to waste while receiving inadequate compensation. This dynamic exacerbates their reproductive labor burden, underscoring the gendered inequalities embedded in environmental management responsibilities.

Abstract

This study examines the development process in transmigration areas, utilizing the social capital concept in the study of three transmigration villages: Mekar Jaya, Wapae, and Suka Damai. We interviewed stakeholders, made observations, and analysed documents to collect data. Our findings highlight the important role of social capital and institutional change in supporting village development. Three critical factors emerged: First, village development involves the transfer of skills from the area of origin to the area of migration endowed with strong work ethics (etos kerja), particularly in agricultural and business sectors. Second, strong networks formed through ethnic and religious ties facilitate information sharing and cooperation, aligning the interests of the community and the village govenrment. Third, institutional changes in village autonomy and regional expansion significantly influence the village development process, strengthening communities’ social capital while reshaping the state-society relationship to become more democratic. Despite some progress, the village transformation, however, has yet to have a significant impact on improving the community’s prosperity.
