Synchronous Chanting in Indonesian Social Movement Repertoires: A Tool for Emoting and for Manipulating Emoters

AbstractChanting has been in existence since time immemorial and is thought to emerge as a way to convey information about visceral and affective states. Chanting synchronously allows participants to synchronize their actions and affective states for it requires them to actively and coordinatively participate in it. This phenomenon can be observed in various social rituals across times and cultures all around the world, including in social movement repertoires, such as demonstrations and street protests. Since emotions play a pivotal role in social movements, gaining insights into how chanting can be used as a “tool” for emoting and evoking emotions in such contexts is useful. For this purpose, the lens of situated cognition and affectivity is used to analyze how activists' interactions during occurrences of synchronous chanting facilitate distributed emotions among the participating chanters. Looking at cases of social movements in Indonesia, a multi-ethnic nation-state, which has its own demonstration culture embedded in its sociocultural-historical context, it is argued that synchronous chanting as an emoting tool is coupled to Indonesian activists of various groups. Some of these chants even date back to more than two decades ago, beginning when Indonesian youth fought against the despotic regime of President Suharto and his New Order, to hundreds of years ago when the founding fathers fought against colonialism. Based on the said framework, the analysis concludes that synchronous chanting can be used as a tool for not only emoting but also manipulating people.

Discursive valuing practices at the periphery: Javanese use on Indonesian youth radio in multilingual Solo

AbstractThis paper seeks to understand how languages are discursively identified and valued within a youth radio station in Solo, Indonesia. This study seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge on the dynamic relationship between the national language, Bahasa Indonesia, and the local language, Javanese, by utilizing a social value and centre-periphery lens to approach continuity and change in present-day Central Java. Valuing practices are observed by examining the situated use of linguistic features and norms of their use within specific social practice (radio programming). From June 2020 to July 2020, a total of 120 h of radio content was recorded for analysis. Analysis showed that valuing practices emerged in response to the use of linguistic features within different radio segments of the program. The formation of participatory frameworks in the periphery and the evaluative commentaries accompanying them contributed to the construction of norms for using these linguistic features. Our analysis shows how paying attention to evaluative practices can highlight how the value of sets of linguistic features emerge, circulate, and are transformed within the media practices in the periphery.

Hustle Culture in Social Media: Exploring the Imagined Success in the Modern Era

This study examines how the notion of success among modern Indonesian youth, particularly the millennial generation, is constructed through the hustle culture trend on social media. With social media playing a significant role in shaping the aspirations and lifestyles of young individuals, the study centers on the hustle culture trend due to its strong promotion of values such as hard work, ambition, and productivity as integral to their way of life. Data was collected from various platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, comprising textual, visual, and multimedia content related to hustle culture and the modern urban youth lifestyle in Indonesia. Additionally, interviews were conducted with six millennial respondents. The collected data is analyzed using the Ethnography Content Analysis (ECA) approach while reflecting on various theoretical concepts regarding youth, urban, social media, and hustle culture. The findings demonstrate that the hustle culture trend constructs an idealized image and lifestyle of modern urban youth, portraying them as modern, productive, and inspirational, thereby equating the social media image of success with actual success.

Climate is More Than Just Weather: Gap of Knowledge about Climate Change and Its Psychological Impacts among Indonesian Youth

Climate change is an environmental threat in Indonesia, affecting not only physical and environmental but also psychological conditions. Youth are among the most vulnerable groups in society to the impacts of climate change. However, the attention and involvement of young people on climate change issues are minimal. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and sources of information about climate change, and the impacts of climate change on young people aged 15-29 years. A descriptive qualitative approach with open-ended questionnaires was used for the study with 107 participants. Findings revealed that young people equated climate change with changes in weather or seasons, and also the rising temperatures. Indonesia's climate is increasingly extreme, erratic, and hotter, leading to physical, psychological, and social impacts. Participants felt worried, scared, anxious, sad, angry, panicked, and confused as the psychological impacts of climate change. Surprisingly, instead of experiencing negative emotions, some participants felt nothing and expressed curiosity about climate change. The internet and social media are the main sources of information. Meanwhile, friends are the first option to talk about climate change. Results indicate that Indonesian youth have little understanding of climate change, but they are aware of the crisis. Further research on the psychological impacts of climate change is needed.

Sinergi Politik Harapan: Interseksionalitas Politik Pemuda dalam Feminisme

Indonesian youth experience age discrimination (ageism) according to the Domination Matrix in the form of legal structural dominance and cultural hegemony. Law Number 40 of 2009 on Youth defines youth as citizens aged 16–30 years, but a number of political positions in Law Number 7 of 2017 on Elections and Law Number 10 of 2016 on Local Elections have conditions that prohibit youth ages. All youths are prohibited from becoming president/deputy which is implied by the existence of a minimum age requirement of 40 years, governor/deputy (30), and members of the General Election Commission/Election Supervisory Body at central (40), provincial (35) and district/city levels (30). Culturally, the ageism which judges youth to be incapable of leading is natural with the fact that youth have never nominated a youth minister and chairman of National Committee of Indonesian Youth (KNPI). It is important for young people to study the politics of hope for feminism, which in history succeeded in removing the ban on women’s suffrage and succeeded in obtaining political affirmation of at least 30 percent. As a significant number of citizens, the intersectionality of youth in feminism can be a synergy to achieve a more representative parliament, by recognizing one another’s identities within the framework of political expectations.

The rise of urban Salafism in Indonesia: The social-media and pop culture of new Indonesian Islamic youth

In numerous major Indonesian cities, the “Urban Salafism” movement has emerged as the most recent trend among the Muslim population. Urban Muslim youth's spiritual unease is at an all-time high due to their scepticism of mainstream Islamic organisations, most of which are becoming more politically oriented. As a result, Salafism has become more popular as an alternative. Salafism has been successful in recent years in massifying Islamic discourse on social media platforms such YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and even podcast sites. Furthermore, it has defined Islamic narratives in strategic urban locations such as the Central Business District, malls, and wealthier neighbourhoods to conjure the spirit of a new piety which urban Muslims are adopting more widely. With the ability to blend the pop culture of urban youth groups with the Islamic tradition of Arabism, urban Salafis are able to campaign for specific Islamic narratives and cultures in a hybrid style. Salafism was once thought of as an ideologically and culturally conservative movement, but it has now become a digital and modern native. Their ability to enlist urban celebrities, artists, content producers, filmmakers, and businesspeople who continue to engage in popular culture in a devout Salafi manner is evidence of all this. Based on the description provided above, this research will use a socio-anthropological method to further investigate the Urban Salafism issue in Indonesia.

<p><strong>This study aims to capture the image of Muslim youth in the national media Jawa Pos online using corpus-based linguistic analysis. The tendency and alignment of the media in portraying Muslim youth can lead to positive, negative, and neutral public opinion. This research is a text study using a quantitative and qualitative descriptive approach, by collecting news with the keywords Muslim/Islamic youth on Jawapos online and obtaining 39 news stories with 12,636 words. The news text is then analyzed and applied using Antcont to obtain linguistic features of word frequency, collocation, and concordance with descriptive linguistic analysis. The research results show that; the frequency of words that are significant means that the Jawa Pos online in reporting on Muslim youth tends to be general, with the involvement of government activities in places of worship, namely masjid. The emergence of collocations tends to be more about reporting on mosque youth, although there is a tendency for political elements and implies messages and actions that must be carried out by youth. Whereas with the emergence of concordance, this media provides definitions to opinions about the meaning of Muslim youth in general, both negative, neutral, and positive, and more often generates news with a positive and balanced tendency. From this result, the Indonesian national media should report in a balanced manner in constructing the image of Muslim youth in Indonesia, where the majority of the population is Muslim.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords - </em></strong> <em>Corpus Analysis, Imaging, Muslim Youth, National Online Media.</em></p>

Effectiveness of Video Self-Modeling on Hope and Daily Activities of Indonesian Youth

Individuals who struggle with low hope tend to experience difficulties in multiple dimensions, encompassing physical, psychological, and social aspects. Despite the development of hope concepts and interventions since the mid-1990s, there has been no specific research using video self-modeling (VSM) instruments to change an individual's aspirations. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of VSM on the hope and daily activities of Indonesian youth. An experimental method with a multiple-baseline design was employed. As many as 5 participants from Indonesia were selected based on pre-screening hope scale scores, specifically those showing low domain points about activities associated with family, romantic, social, academic, work, or leisure time. The data were analyzed using visual inspection by comparing scores before and after VSM intervention. The results showed that all participants demonstrated an increase in the frequency of activities they preferred. It was also found that VSM can indirectly impact the improvement of hope. This technology can be an effective intervention to assist young individuals in achieving goals and enhancing their hope.

Smartphones and the education of religious youth in Indonesia: Highway to hell or path of righteousness?

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in secondary schools in Manado, Indonesia, this article examines digital infrastructures and their accompanying (im)moral potentialities in the development of Christian and Muslim youth as evaluated by educators. On the one hand, smartphones are portrayed as portals to a globalizing world in which youth might succumb to negative influences (with a particular anxiety surrounding pornography) based on their perceived inchoate moral development and insufficiently strong religious foundation. On the other hand, these teachers and administrators recognize the potential that smartphones have to be used for deepening spiritual engagement, connection, and proselytization. This particular case study offers insights into the ways in which institutions charged with religious and moral development of youth seek to leverage rather than categorically reject mainstream culture, navigating the globalizing influences of the secular world toward the possibility of attaining a greater good.

The Phenomenon of Hatred in Adolescents: A Systemic-Relational Study and Alternative Intervention Strategies

<p class="06IsiAbstrak"><span class="Longtext"><span>The prevalence of hatred among adolescents, spanning schools, families, communities, and cyberspace, is a significant issue that requires further research, especially among Indonesian youth in the school environment. This qualitative study investigates hatred in adolescents using a systemic relational paradigm and alternative intervention strategies. Through in-depth interviews with five participants and a focus on three hate themes, it was found that all participants had experienced hatred, leading to distancing themselves from and severing connections with their haters. Some participants reported long-term trauma and feelings of anger and threat. They committed to reducing hatred and redirecting their focus to positive aspects, acknowledging the harmful effects of nurturing hatred. Relational hatred arises from family conflicts, particularly those involving parents, and social conflicts that induce trauma, emphasizing the crucial role of the family and social environment in prevention and intervention efforts. Addressing the phenomenon of hatred among adolescents is crucial to protecting both haters and those who are hated, providing an opportunity for counsellors and other supportive figures to implement suitable interventions.</span></span></p>

Specific vs Unspecific Smoke-Free Regulation: Which One is More Effective?

Tobacco kills up to half of its users, and smoking prevalence and tobacco exposure among Indonesian youth are increasing. A comprehensive ban on Tobacco Advertising, Promotion, and Sponsorship (TAPS) is a recommended tobacco control measure. Thus, this study aimed to analyze and compare political economy factors that contribute to the effectiveness of the TAPS ban implementation in Surabaya and Kulon Progo. In-depth interviews and a focus group discussion were conducted, recorded, transcribed, then analyzed using thematic analysis. We find that the role of local government was pivotal in creating and implementing regulations for tobacco control, while the leaders’ will and capability were also essential. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had limited all tobacco control measures in both studied districts. Furthermore, the lack of political will and low support from the political parties are the several factors hindering tobacco control measures at the district level, including TAPS ban enforcement. We also find that there is a need to strengthen the understanding of local government, society, and other related stakeholders toward the urgency of the TAPS ban. Further studies calculating the impact of the total TAPS ban on local revenue and the potential benefit of a total TAPS ban are urgently needed for advocating total TAPS ban implementation in a broader scope of the country.
