Social relations are ties of relationships or behavior between individuals. Social relations are formed differently according to the environmental conditions. The Social Distance Film Series which was produced during the Covid Pandemic makes the depiction of social relations in this film interesting, where this film is made with real-life conditions that are filled with lockdown regulations and also distance restrictions between individuals. In this study, researchers used John Fiske's semiotics research method, and collected data through documentation of scenes in the film and also literature study. Then the data will be analyzed through three levels of John Fiske's semiotics, the Reality Level, the Representation Level, and the Ideology Level. Keywords: Film Representation, Social Relation, Social Distance Film

Various streaming entertainment platforms, or often referred to as SVOD, have become entertainment for Indonesian viewers, shifting television as their daily entertainment channel. However, research that raises this issue is still very rare, especially in looking at how the viewers and subscribers of these various streaming services are. This paper aims to see, firstly, how entertainment streaming subscribers respond to this development, and secondly, how streaming subscribers negotiate local Indonesian shows on these various SVOD channels. The research was conducted by distributing questionnaires filled out by 264 respondents and then followed by qualitative interviews through FGDs with 25 participants who identified themselves as heavy viewers. Research shows that Netflix is still the most-subscribed streaming channel, although many also subscribe to it illegally. Regarding local content, participants expect Netflix to imitate similar streaming channels by producing works by loc...

Although a seemingly trivial subject, fashion blogs could be put into the same categories as other feminine genres such as magazines, soap operas and romance novels that have been shown by feminist scholars to be worthy of scholarly attention. This study argues that Indonesian Muslim fashion blogs are an important and rich cultural text where gender identity, religion, nation and class intersect in contemporary Indonesian society. Using feminist audience ethnography as the methodological approach, this research first analysed why women read Muslim fashion blogs; second, how readers negotiate the articulation of modesty, modernity, motherhood, class and nation; third, the motivations behind the blogging practise; and fourth, how bloggers define and facilitate their female readers’ empowerment. Using individual interviews, FGDs and archival study to gather data which can then be analysed thematically alongside visual analysis of several texts garnered from the most popular blogs in In...

Kebutuhan akan adanya hubungan yang baik dan resiprokal biasanya semakin meningkat ketika mahasiswa menginjak tingkat (semester) akhir di Universitas. Komunikasi dan hubungan interpersonal yang baik antara mahasiswa dan pembimbing akan memastikan proses pengerjaan riset dan penulisan skripsi berjalan dengan baik dan lancar. Namun, pandemi Covid-19 yang membuat hampir seluruh universitas menerapkan kebijakan “work from home” sejak bulan Maret 2020 membuat dinamika mahasiswa-pembimbing menjadi terganggu. Tulisan ini mengurai penghalang-penghalang dalam proses komunikasi (communication barriers) antara mahasiswa tingkat akhir dengan dosen pembimbingnya. Melalui wawancara mendalam dan FGD dengan 24 mahasiswa tingkat akhir, tulisan ini menyimpulkan setidaknya ada lima penghalang dalam proses berkomunikasi di masa pandemi. Penghalang-penghalang ini membutuhkan solusi dan itikad baik dari semua pihak, terutama pengelola Universitas.

Indonesia diprediksi akan mengalami bonus demografi pada tahun 2020-2030 mendatang. Jumlah usia produktif akan didominasi oleh generasi yang berusia 17 hingga 37 tahun. Keuntungan dari melimpahnya jumlah usia muda dan produktif dapat menjadi salah satu kekuatan bagi pembangunan suatu negara. Sejak tahun 2015 melalui pembentukan Bekraf, pemerintah Indonesia menggarap potensi industri kreatif dengan lebih serius. Industri ini juga diproyeksikan akan meningkatkan akses perempuan terhadap kesempatan kerja yang lebih luas. Lima orang wirausaha muda perempuan dengan bebagai jenis usaha kreatif diwawancarai melalui proses FGD (focus group discussions) untuk melihat bagaimana partisipan memaknai kerja kreatif mereka dalam industri ini dan bagaimana faktor jender (gender) berpengaruh terhadap pilihan profesi mereka. Tulisan ini menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa partisipan awalnya melihat industri ini sebagai bentuk industri yang ideal, namun dalam kenyataannya juga memiliki derajat ketidakpastia...

This paper interrogates the way in which Instagram, as one of the most famous micro-blogging participatory online media in the world, creates the production, consumption and articulation of the so-called micro-celebrity. The concept of micro-celebrity has been expanded to unearth the phenomenon of someone who has gained massive online popularity and followers based on their online-persona. Despite its burgeoning prominence, there is a lacuna of research addressing the emergence of micro-celebrities in Indonesia and the way in which Instagram facilitates such trajectories. This paper focuses on Instagram and how this platform helps to build celebrity online persona by examining what and how discourses have been embodied and reproduced by local (Indonesia) micro-celebrities. Using multimodal discourse analysis, this paper concludes that both discourses of authenticity and ordinariness are mostly prevailing in both Dian Pelangi and Arief Muhammad’s Instagram accounts. Dian Pelangi and ...

Islamic women's magazines in Indonesia started to grow in the 21st century, when Noor magazine was published in 2003, which was followed by other Islamic magazines.The contents are relatively similar to other women's magazines and are predominantly about fashion and beauty tips, health and well-being, and sex and marriage. One element that differentiates these magazines from mainstream women's
magazines is how they generate Islamic ideology and conventions. Islamic women's magazines present Muslim models on their front covers, and feature Islamic fashion, articles focused on women's everyday lives, and how to live the Islamic way of life. It
is interesting to explore the ways in which Islamic femininity is being constructed and how it is being generated to defy and transgress from the dominant Western media stereotypes of Muslim women. In order to examine this, a textual analysis is employed for one of Noor 's cover editions (Figure 1), along with an in-depth interview with the
editor-in-chief of Noor, Jetti Rusila Hadi.
