Lure of Jordan Peele’s Get Out!

What does it take to make a horror movie a household hit? Get Out, a debut film from acclaimed writer-director Jordan Peele, is a cultural behemoth—winner of 152 industry awards—that tackles the trauma that black people face within the horror genre and beyond the screen. This paper explores what it is about Get Out that shook the very foundations of the horror genre to its core, and why this movie is still relevant today. It considers the argument that Get Out became a cultural hit because it mirrors the reality of many black and brown people, and critiques the idea that—in exposing the horrors of racism—the movie is doing anything new. It closes by arguing that the central character Chris’ survival is one of the strongest reasons why Get Out performed as well as it did and completely dominated conversations around social commentary and its place in the horror genre.

STUDI MAKNA LOGO INDONESIA HALAL INDUSTRY AWARDS (IHYA) TERHADAP PERSEPSI PELAKU INDUSTRI KOTA PADANG PANJANG

Reasearch for analyze meaning of Indonesia Halal Industry Awards (IHYA) logo using the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce and Roland Barthes, to see how the semiotic elements in the logo represent halal industry, on the views of halal industry players in Padang Panjang city. IHYA logo carries halal value by redefining the meaning. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods, using visual perception theory, Peirce's and Barthes’ semiotics. With visuals that redefine the meaning of halal, it produces the perception of halal industry players in the city of Padang Panjang which causes prejudice against the IHYA logo, because of the lingering old ethics about the iconic halal identity. So the analytical approach of Peirce's semiotic theory that reveals signs, objects, interpretants with further meanings of Barthes' semiotic theory in the meaning of the level as an effort to clarify the true meaning of the IHYA logo.

Integrated innovation of smart materials and product design from the perspective of design intelligence

Materials are the physical basis and carrier of product design, and the selection of materials is an important part of product design. With the continuous exploration of materials, smart materials have become a hot topic in science and technology innovation. This study uses the winning entries of industrial design awards in the past five years as the data source, and 54 design entries using smart materials for innovative design were obtained after retrieval. The current status of the application of smart materials in product design has been summarised through classification analysis, case analysis and comparative analysis. It is found that the integrated innovation of smart materials and product design is still relatively simple. There is still a lot of space for the development of the application of smart materials in product design. In terms of the existing ways of integration of smart materials and product design, this study proposes that the future integration of product design and smart materials can be innovated from biology, ecology, sensing and computing perspectives through methods such as bionic design, sustainable design, personalised design and parametric design. This study provides a reference for the application of smart materials and new creative expressions in future product design and proposes a new trend for the integration of smart materials and product design in the future.

Implementing a Green Business Model in the Indonesian Garment Industry

The increase in carbon emissions contributes to the growth of green business trends, as popularized by several climate change discourses. Ever since the Paris Agreement was established in 2015, Indonesia has declared its commitment to reducing carbon emissions. The Minister of Finance has also been elected as a co-chair of the 2021–2023 Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action. As a result, the Indonesian government has begun reinforcing its green economy agenda by optimizing the green business, one of which is through the garment industry. The Law no. 3 of 2014 on the Green Industry Standard and the Ministry of Industry Regulations no. 13 of 2019 on the Green Industry Standard for textile industry and products support this notion. Consecutively, the Indonesian garment industry and textile exports show progressive annual growth as follows; 3,8% in 2017, 8,8% in 2018 and 15,3% in 2019. In spite of the following regulations, not many garment industries have implemented a green business model, as unveiled in the 2018s National Textile Dialogue. The number of Green Industry Award recipients from 2010 to 2018 still does not compare to the total number of garment factories in Indonesia. As a labor-intensive industry with competitive price, the garment industry still has a long way before green business manages to successfully penetrate through. This study aims to implement of a green business model in the Indonesian garment industry. A throughout interview was conducted with six company leaders in the related fields in Boyolali, Klaten and Yogyakarta, one of which is part of considerably the biggest garment factory in Indonesia. The novelty of this research is mainly in the methodology used. This study uses a qualitative approach with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which examines how participants build the meaning of green business in the social and personal world. So far, it is rare for green business research in the garment industry to analyze using IPA. The research reveals that the green business implementation requires high costs. Regardless, when implemented thoroughly, green business increases the level of efficiency and productivity within the factory. All company leaders agreed that sustainability becomes the main goal of green businesses. The role of the government remains important in the green business implementation, especially in raw material procurement, license simplification and green business subsidies.

COVID-normal workplaces: Should working from home be a ‘collective flexibility’?

Working from home expanded rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Controversy examines how working from home was framed and regulated pre-pandemic. We contrast this with the changes made to Australia's industrial award system during the pandemic to increase flexibilities around working from home, in response to a collective need for a responsive safety net. We argue that the conception and regulation of working from home is shifting from an individual flexibility, to a ‘collective flexibility’ available to a wide array of workers, collectively negotiated and governed by increased regulation. While industrial instruments were varied to accommodate public health requirements and the need of organisations and employees to work from home, these shifts were temporary. We argue that working from home provisions should rightly be regulated as a collective entitlement. We therefore consider possible ways forward in regulating this form of working, drawing from international developments. We raise these issues to extend debates around how working from home can be regulated to benefit employers and employees as we move towards COVID-normal.
