Abstract

Tinder is one of the virtual spaces that allows individuals to negotiate and present themselves dynamically. Stereotypes and traditional social norms continue to influence how gender is understood and represented online, which in turn reinforces problematic biases in interactions in digital spaces. This study aims to analyze the construction of gender identity among Tinder dating app users within the framework of a digital society. Employing a qualitative method with a netnographic approach, this research involves the researcher's active participation in the Tinder platform's virtual space by observing 52 user accounts and conducting in-depth interviews with five informants. The findings reveal that Tinder users construct gender identity through visual and textual elements, including profile photos, brief bios, hobbies, and interests. Gender identity on the platform can be manipulated and diversified to represent themselves as "women" and or "men." It underscores the necessity for contextualization and redefinition of gender identity within cyberspace. The study makes a significant contribution by revealing how gender identity on Tinder challenges traditional binaries through performative practices that blur the rigid boundaries between “feminine” and “masculine” while offering new insights into gender fluidity within digital spaces as arenas for renegotiating social norms.

Abstract

Despite the positive impacts, there are challenges in how Muslim fashion is digitally represented, particularly in how social media can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes or uphold Western beauty standards shaped by colonial legacies. Therefore, critical engagement is essential to ensure a more inclusive and unbiased portrayal. This study examines postcolonial and gender representations in Indonesian Muslim fashion brands on social media using a qualitative content analysis approach. The study analyses four Instagram accounts using an interpretive framework: @vanillahijab, @winonamodest, @hijabalila, and @nusseyba.id. By integrating postcolonial and gender theories, this research critically explores the influence of colonial discourse on hijab brands in the digital space. The findings reveal that these brands' social media platforms serve as a space for cultural reclamation, challenge traditional gender roles, and offer more diverse representations of Muslim women. However, many still reflect colonial narratives, particularly in promoting Westernized beauty ideals such as fair (white/light) skin, a thin, and a tall figure. Regarding gender representation, the content predominantly depicts women as professionals actively engaged in the workforce. These highlight the need for a more conscious and inclusive approach in digital Muslim fashion branding, encouraging brands to actively challenge colonial beauty norms and promote diverse representations that resonate with Indonesia's rich cultural and ethnic identities.

Abstract

Ideological change in the representation of gemblak is an important issue in social discourse studies. This research uses Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the representation of gemblak in mass media and the novel Gemblak: Tragedi Cinta Budak Homoseks by Enang Rokajat Asura. The research objective is to reveal the language and ideology that shape the image of gemblak. The method used is qualitative with a discourse analysis approach. Data in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences were collected through interviews and document studies. The results show that Detik News portrays gemblak positively as a figure who deserves respect, teaches politeness, and is good at socializing. In contrast, the novel frames gemblak as a negative figure, leading to bad judgment from society. This difference reflects the dynamics of power and changing social values in shaping the meaning of gem-blak. In conclusion, mass media and fiction have different ideological constructions in representing gemblak in the public sphere.

Abstract

Housing designs should not only consider aspects of form and function but should also pay attention to gender perspectives. This study aims to examine the influence of gender perspectives on the architectural design of residential housing. Employing a mixed method of a qualitative approach and a questionnaire-based online survey, this research explores user perceptions and preferences in applying gender-sensitive approaches to housing design. The findings reveal that gender-sensitive approaches are highly preferred in housing designs, with a particular emphasis on accommodating the inhabitants’ needs. The approach effectively addresses the specific needs of masculine and feminine individuals as inhabitants, which can significantly improve the quality of life within the house. This research emphasizes the urge to incorporate a gender perspective as one of the design considerations to create inclusive houses that are responsive to the needs of individuals of diverse genders.

Abstract

Inequality in gender roles is still one of the causes of low psycho-social and sociocultural resilience in families. In response to this issue, the Family School Program is present to build equal gender partnerships and strengthen family resilience. This study used a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis, involving 86 purposively selected Family School participant families. The instrument used was the Family Resilience questionnaire from the Ministry of PPPA. The results showed that 77 families had implemented gender partnership, while 9 had not. A total of 54 families had socio-psychological resilience, and 73 families showed sociocultural resilience. Overall, 19 families were rated as low resilience, 63 as moderate, and only 3 as high. This research shows that most families are at the medium level of resilience. This study looks at the integration of gender and cultural perspectives in the context of family strengthening and contributes to more effective family-school development programs and psycho-social and local value-based interventions.

Abstract

Body image on digital platforms, particularly Instagram, has become a significant arena for negotiating and redefining ideals of beauty, self-esteem, and identity, reflecting broader social shifts. This research examines the social construction of the body positivity movement on Instagram among teenage girls in Surabaya through Peter L. Berger’s theoretical framework, which posits that social reality is formed through externalization, objectivation, and internalization, where individuals and society co-create meanings through interaction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this study involved 12 female informants aged 13-21 who actively use Instagram. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and visual content analysis, and were then analyzed thematically to identify patterns in body image narratives, self-acceptance, and digital resistance. Findings reveal that these young women are not passive recipients of beauty norms; instead, they actively reconstruct bodily meanings through their everyday media practices. The body positivity movement emerges as a counter-narrative that transforms collective identity and redefines women’s bodies from objects to dignified subjects. This research contributes to media and body sociology, emphasizing critical digital literacy and inclusive education in fostering youth empowerment and gender-sensitive interventions.
