Abstract

This article discusses how digital culture can help empower communities by supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and local artisans in Kemijen, East Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) method to provide digital literacy training with a focus on promotion through the social media platforms. Participants of the program included mostly female MSME entrepreneurs producing milkfish (bandeng), mochi cakes, rice box (nasi kotak), and coconut crushed ice cream (es puter) contents promoted on Instagram and Facebook. In addition, there were also Javanese dancers, a batik artisan, and keroncong musicians whose cultural practices were incorporated into promotional content on YouTube. The program demonstrated both benefits and challenges. The goal was to improve skills in financial recording and digital storytelling on social media, but maintaining participant motivation was challenging. Most of the female entrepreneurs and creative artisans were hesitant to fully embrace digital tools. Unfortunately, the young people with digital knowledge were not interested in managing social media accounts. Therefore, the goal of reaching a broad online audience was only partially achieved. Nonetheless, the participatory approach helped raise awareness of digital opportunities, fostered intergenerational collaboration, and opened discussions about using social media to connect cultural heritage with the digital marketplace. By engaging community members as co-creators, the PAR method shows that true empowerment requires more than just technical training. It requires long-term mentoring, motivation, and shared responsibility. Therefore, follow-up programs are recommended. The digital and community cultural empowerment capacity-building initiative for MSMEs and creative artisans in Kemijen suggests that combining cultural identity with digital promotion through social media can transform local products and tradition into useful tools for economic growth while preserving cultural heritage

Abstract

Indonesia is famous for its rich culinary heritage, which is characterized by complex spice blends. This uniqueness presents both challenges and opportunities for wine and food pairing. Wine is becoming increasingly popular among young Indonesian consumers, and interest in pairing it with traditional dishes is growing. However, comprehensive research on wine pairing with Indonesia cuisine remains limited. This study examines the sensory interactions between food characteristics and wine attributes through a literature review. The finding suggests that the ideal red wine for rendang should have moderate tannins and balanced acidity. In contrast, betutu chicken pairs better with white wine, particularly aromatic, off-dry varieties; the acidity and slight sweetness of the wine effectively balance the spiciness of the dish. These insights emphasize the necessity of adapting traditional wine pairing methods to align with the distinctive characteristics of Indonesian cuisine, leading to culturally relevant pairing approaches.

Abstract

This study attempts to explore the use of satire humor by narrowing down the representation of working life in modern culture. By referring on Roland Barthes’ theory of semiotics, this study elaborates the denotative, connotative, and myths components in the satire humor from Instagram account @lokerserem. This satire humor criticizes social issues including toxic leadership, mental exhaustion, and working exploitation in an entertaining way. This study employs qualitative approach by using secondary data from social media and literature review. The sample was chosen by considering some criterions such as the focus should be on structural issues and these contents should have high number of engagements. The findings show that satire humor can be an entertaining yet powerful tool to convey protest or critics. It is hoped that satire humor can evolve to convey people’s struggles in the workplaces more comprehensively, taking benefits as vital tool for social and cultural changes

Abstract

The preservation of local culture faces significant challenges in the era of globalization, where the Fourth Industrial Revolution profoundly influences human life. Various factors contribute to the erosion of local cultures, with one of the primary factors being the diminishing interest in local issues such as languages, songs, dances, and other cultural elements. Across most Indonesian regions, the use of local languages, a vital heritage of local culture, has significantly declined. This concerning trend is evident in the Minahasan community like Tonsea. Consequently, the study of Minahasan proverbs has become a priority. This research aims to elucidate the significance of Tonsea proverbs as a socio-cultural strategy in character building. The method employed in this study is descriptive qualitative, incorporating a hermeneutic approach. The research results reveal thirty proverbs, considered oral literature, that encapsulate indigenous and invaluable values. These proverbs are deeply rooted in the Tonsea culture context, showcasing profound wisdom and values that are instrumental in character development. This study underscores the importance of preserving and promoting these proverbs as a means of preserving Tonsea's cultural heritage in the face of contemporary challenges posed by globalization and rapid technological advancements

Abstract

This research highlights how the students in the English Letters Department of a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, express their digital identities in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Creative Writing. Even though digital platforms have been widely discussed as a medium for identity expressions and construction, few studies have specifically examined digital identity construction through EFFL creative writing on digital platforms. The participants of this qualitative study were eighteen sixth-semester students from two creative writing classes. The data were collected from participants’ writing products, namely short stories and poems. The works were uploaded to participants’ various digital platforms, then with a questionnaire to unveil their inspiration, intentions, and reasons for choosing the digital platform. There are four main findings that cover participants’ creative writing topics, writing resources, writing intentions, and social media platforms that are mostly used. The first finding highlights how technological advancement is used to abuse the power and the culture that endangered the environment. Next, the resources of their digital writing products are taken from their personal experiences, their observation, and inspired by other creative works. The third finding unveils participants’ writing intention, which are to raise awareness, express emotions, and affirm their cultural belonging. The last finding shows the choice of digital platforms, such as Instagram, TikTok, X, Medium, and Wattpad, which also reflects how the participants curate their digital identities. Furthermore, this study concludes that EFL Creative Writing in digital platforms enables the participants to express their ideas and feelings without being judged by others while at the same time they can negotiate and express evolving digital identities.

Abstract

Translation revision is one of required competences for learners who intend to become translators as their professional choice. It becomes an important step in translation workflow. This competence should be owned by translators or aspiring translators. Unfortunately, revision competence is almost never given in translation class. Almost all courses in translation focuses on the students’ competence in translating, but ignores the competence of revising translated text. This study, therefore, applied a learning form named TRC (Translation Revision Competence) model in translation class of Universitas PGRI Semarang that will equip students in translation competence. To verify the hypothesis about the nature of TRC, this study used a pretest - posttest design, with an experimental group and a control group. To collect the data needed in this research, researchers used assignments, documents and questionnaires. Based on the calculation of the paired sample T-test in this research, the results of Sig. (2-tailed) were 0.001 where the results were smaller than 0.050 (0.050). As the initial hypothesis of the study set by the researcher where if Sig. (2-tailed) 0.050 then the hypothesis is accepted, the researcher concludes that there is a significant difference in the quality of the revised text of students/participants who received TRC training compared to those who did not receive TRC training. From these results, it is concluded that the TRC model has a positive impact on the level of quality and ability to revise students' translated texts in the Translation class
