Abstract

The 2024 Election Jingle "Choosing for Indonesia" is used by the Surabaya City General Election Commission (KPU) as a means of communication to support the Election's spirit. This study aims to understand the construction of the jingle playback in the internal environment of the Surabaya City KPU through a phenomenological approach and Peter L. Berger's social construction theory. The study examines three main stages— externalization, objectification, and internalization—regarding how a jingle is a communication and motivational tool. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation from four informants at the Surabaya City KPU. The jingle playback illustrates a social construction process, with regular playbacks promoting democratic values similar to religious teachings.Objectification occurs as the jingle integrates into organizational culture, symbolizing collective identity and shared values, much like religious symbols in people's lives. Internalization is reflected in individuals' varying interpretations of the jingle, inspiring some to conform to its message while others engage differently. This process highlights how values of fairness and participation are embedded in personal and organizational identities. Regularly playing the jingle at 10 am and 3 pm boosts enthusiasm, awareness of democratic principles, and solidarity among KPU employees, similar to how religious rituals reinforce commitment to moral values

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning of the concept of "fear of adultery" in the application for marriage dispensation at the Sidoarjo Religious Court. The focus of the study is directed at how prospective brides and grooms and related parties interpret "fear of adultery" as a moral, religious, and social basis, as well as the influence of family pressure, societal norms, and the dynamics of the couple's relationship in forming this meaning. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 informants, consisting of 8 prospective brides and grooms and 2 employees of the Sidoarjo Religious Court. Data analysis uses Herbert Blumer's symbolic interactionism theory to understand the process of meaning formation through symbols, language, and social actions. The research results show that the reason for "fear of adultery" does not have a single meaning, but rather is a social construct formed through interactions between the applicant, family, and social environment. This meaning is generally formed by parents as the authority within the family and is used as a moral and religious symbol to legitimize early marriage and maintain family honor. For the Religious Court, "fear of adultery" is understood as a common administrative narrative in the marriage dispensation process. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, early marriage is understood as a social act legitimized through the symbolic meaning of "fear of adultery" that is constructed and accepted collectively

Abstract

The phenomenon of hijab use among Muslim female students in the modern era is experiencing increasingly complex dynamics of meaning. One form of this is the emergence of a fashion style known as “jilboobs”, namely the use of a hijab combined with tight clothing to highlight the curves of the body. This study aims to describe the form of jilboobs fashion style representation among Muslim female students who are away from home at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Surabaya State University, analyze the shift in religious values reflected in this practice, and identify the social, cultural, and campus environmental factors that influence it. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of ten informants of Muslim female students who are away from home. The shift in religious values is not interpreted as a loss of religiosity, but rather as a form of reinterpretation of religious values that is more flexible and contextual. Factors from the environment of travel, the influence of social media, campus culture, and pressure to be accepted in social circles are dominant factors in shaping this change. This study confirms that the hijab is no longer understood solely as a symbol of religious obedience, but also as an expression of social identity and lifestyle of Muslim female students in urban environments

Abstract

The ogoh-ogoh cultural parade held on the mornings of Ramadan in Purwoharjo District, Banyuwangi Regency, is a fascinating social phenomenon because it involves Hindu religious practices that coincide with the Muslim fasting month. This study aims to analyze the social construction of this cultural parade and the meanings it constructs through interfaith social interactions. This research employed a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods. Data collection involved direct observation and in-depth interviews with Hindu religious leaders, community leaders, and Muslims who participated in or witnessed the cultural parade. The results indicate that the cultural parade is constructed as a symbol of tolerance, togetherness, and respect between religious communities through processes of externalization, objectification, and internalization. The cultural parade serves not only as a religious ritual but also as a medium for strengthening the social identity of the pluralistic and harmonious Purwoharjo community.

Abstract

The phenomenon of sound horeg in the 2024–2029 Banyuwangi local election reflects a significant transformation in local political campaign strategies that integrate popular culture, grassroots entertainment, and emotional political communication. Originally functioning as a form of rural entertainment, sound horeg has evolved into a strategic political medium capable of mobilizing mass participation, fostering emotional attachment, and strengthening cultural identification between candidates and voters. This study aims to analyze the role of sound horeg as a political campaign strategy, the political communication processes involved, and its implications for voter perceptions, cultural identity, and democratic quality. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with campaign teams, local political actors, sound horeg community members, religious figures, and voters, complemented by participant observation and document analysis. The analytical framework integrates Harold Lasswell’s political communication model, Antonio Gramsci’s theory of cultural hegemony, Ernesto Laclau’s theory of populism, and perspectives from cultural sociology and the sociology of religion. The findings reveal that sound horeg functions not merely as entertainment but as a symbolic cultural practice that produces political legitimacy, emotional mobilization, and populist identification. However, the strategy also raises ethical concerns regarding the commodification of culture, the dominance of emotional appeals over policy discourse, and the potential exclusion of certain social groups. This study contributes to the literature on local political communication by demonstrating how culture, religion, and power intersect in contemporary Indonesian local elections

Abstract

This study examines how government responses addressed out-of-school children in Osun State, Nigeria. Using an exploratory research design, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews with major stakeholders and civil society organisations, and reports. Data were analysed using frequency tables and thematic analysis and interpreted through the lens of systems theory. The findings identified O'Meals, the school policing system, and the establishment of Early Child Care Development (ECCD) centers, among others, as policies implemented by the state government for out-of-school children in Osun State. Results also showed that the government's specific responses to out-of-school children had effectively reduced the number of out-of-school children in the state by 13.9%, although some challenges were encountered during implementation. The study concluded that the Osun State government’s response had reasonably addressed the issue of out-of-school children in the state through the implementation of government policies such as O’Meals, school policing systems, establishment of early childhood care development, nomadic schools, and collaboration with major stakeholders

Abstract

The shift in prostitution from conventional practices to online platforms has enabled sex workers to connect directly with customers through social media, replacing localization and pimps. One platform frequently associated with this practice is the Michat application. Online prostitution has become increasingly widespread in Indonesia, including Lamongan Regency, where cases involving Michat have been identified. This study aims to analyze the pattern of online prostitution on Michat using McDonaldization Theory and examine it from an Islamic perspective. The study employed the Critical Hacking Analysis (CHA) method, which is suitable for research conducted in virtual environments. Data were collected through observations within the Michat application, including photos, symbols, and coded information, and were analyzed using McDonaldization Theory. The findings reveal a structured pattern of online prostitution, beginning with downloading and installing Michat, creating an account, accessing the nearby users feature, and selecting accounts based on appearance, offered services, and distance. These practices reflect the principles of efficiency and speed emphasized in McDonaldization. From an Islamic perspective, online prostitution is considered a form of adultery (zina), which is strictly prohibited and carries both legal and spiritual consequences. Beyond individual sin, it also threatens moral values, weakens faith, undermines the sanctity of marriage, and may contribute to increasing divorce rates. The study concludes that digital platforms have rationalized prostitution practices while creating significant social and religious challenges in predominantly Muslim communities.

Abstract

This study examines deviations from Catur Brata Penyepian during the Nyepi holiday among the Balinese Hindu community in Dharma Agung Mataram Village, Central Lampung, commonly referred to as nglurug awig awig. Catur Brata are the four main rules for observing Nyepi that should not be violated. However, in some cases, the younger generation still commits deviations. The Balinese community in Dharma Agung Mataram Village, Seputih Mataram District, Central Lampung, is Hindu and transmigrated to Lampung around 1963, bringing their religion and strong traditional customs with them. However, deviations against Catur Brata Penyepian still frequently occur. The theories used in this study are Hirschi's (1969) theory of social control and Lemert's (1951) theory of deviance. This study uses a qualitative research method, employing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data display, and data verification. The results of the study indicate two categories of violations committed by the younger generation: minor and serious. The causes of violations include a lack of religious understanding, economic pressures, the influence of modernity, weak socialization of the Catur Brata Penyepian, and lax supervision (lack of social control) in a relatively heterogeneous society. None of this can be categorized as social deviation or social pathology, but rather as a violation. The response from the community, traditional leaders, and Pecalang was generally disappointment, concern, and annoyance, with appropriate sanctions being imposed.

Abstract

The high proportion of blank votes in the 2024 regional election in Gresik Regency reflects an important phenomenon in local democratic participation, particularly in uncontested elections. Despite the increasing occurrence of blank voting in Indonesia, empirical evidence explaining how public dissatisfaction with incumbent performance influences this behavior remains limited. This study aims to examine the effect of public dissatisfaction with incumbent performance on the propensity to vote for the blank box. A quantitative research design was employed using data from 150 respondents selected through quota sampling from five sub districts Sidayu, Bungah, Manyar, Ujungpangkah, and Kebomas which recorded the highest proportion of blank votes in the election. Data were collected through structured Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multinomial logistic regression. The findings indicate that the model demonstrates a good fit, with a significant Omnibus Test (p < 0.001) and Pearson and Deviance statistics exceeding 0.05. Public dissatisfaction has a statistically significant effect on the likelihood of voting for the blank box (Exp(B) = 1.687, p < 0.001). These findings extend rational choice theory by demonstrating that, in uncontested local elections, blank voting represents a rational mechanism of electoral accountability rather than merely political apathy. This study provides empirical evidence that public evaluations of incumbent performance constitute a significant determinant of blank-box voting in single-candidate local elections, thereby enriching the understanding of electoral behavior in uncontested democratic contests. The study contributes to the literature on electoral behavior by highlighting public performance evaluation as an important determinant of blank voting in local elections.

Abstract

Nigeria is among the world's most ethnically divided countries, with more than 250 ethnolinguistic groups coexisting. The objectives of this paper are to examine the influence of domestic borders on Nigerians. It also analyzes how the country has remained undivided despite the existence of colonial, post-colonial, and political borders. The researchers approached this problem by collecting secondary data from documented sources and analyzing it using content analysis. The study found that Resource allocation, political appointments, and electoral contests are among the considerations, along with religion and ethnic affiliations. On the surface, geopolitical and ethnoreligious factors are blown out of proportion in Nigeria, where some citizens politicize almost all government policies, programs, and projects. Despite overt political boundaries created and institutionalized by those in government, beneath the surface, citizens interact without considering such demarcations. People carry out their routine financial transactions with customers from different regions of the country without considering geopolitical and ethnoreligious divisions, which aligns with the constructivist theory of border studies. Therefore, this article concludes that politicians create tangible boundaries to realize their political motives. Still, ordinary citizens, in their daily interactions with people from different political divides, move across those boundaries without knowing they exist.
