Penerapan Pemahaman Autopoiesis Oleh Niklas Luhmann Dalam Komunikasi Antar Keluarga

Abstract

This research explores the concept of autopoiesis introduced by Niklas Luhmann in the context of communication between families. Autopoiesis is the idea that the family can be viewed as an autonomous and independent system, capable of creating and maintaining itself through internal information exchange without complete dependence on external factors. This applied concept brings new understanding of communicative dynamics in families, highlighting family autonomy, reproductive systems, communication adaptations, and the role of internal structures. Internal communication processes are central to family autonomy, creating a unique environment that shapes shared meanings, values, and norms. Autopoiesis also describes a family's ability to adapt to environmental changes and evolution according to its needs and internal dynamics. The internal structure of the family plays a key role in shaping and guiding communication patterns. This research produces a holistic view of the family as a living communication system that continues to develop through interactions between family members.
