Socially Mediated Publicness in Networked Society for Indonesian Muslim Women
Abstract: This paper addresses
discursive processes that generated ‘jilboobs’ term. It tries to ground the
notion of socially mediated publicness and its affordances by investigating the
process of image making of Indonesian Muslim women. Using Foucauldian discourse
analysis approach, the result shows three characteristics of Indonesia’s
socially mediated publicness: (1) religiosity has a central role in the shift
and contestation of private versus public sphere, (2) the visual turn of the
social media has given specific augmentation for networked public affordances,
and (3) feminine pious bodies are often marked by their concurrent presence and
absence.
