“…Firstly, unearthing the discourse of moral ibuism in our findings offers an alternative insight for feminist studies on gendered media representation in crime cases which are predominantly Western-based. Typical characterisations of "bad," "mad," and "sad" female offenders within this scholarship (Andersen, Silcox, and Scott 2021;Charlotte Barlow 2020;Rachael E Collins 2016) were generally detached from any cultural and historical contextuality. By connecting Suharto's ideological legacy of state ibuism with contemporary representation of women in corruption cases, we render visible the Western presumed privilege of being unmarked, where analyses of women offenders in the media in previous studies tend to position their findings as cultureless and ahistorical.…”

This article engages with the ways through which women were discursively represented in media reports on corruption cases in Indonesia. Moving away from the traps of universalism and essentialism in conceptualising the causes and consequences of corruption, we unpack the dominant views and contextualise corruption in local-historical perspectives. Our main argument is that gendered meanings around women and corruption in Indonesian news media were constituted through the dominant religious and sociopolitical discourses; and the consequences were the (re)productions of stereotypical and simplistic meanings around women and corruption. Employing critical discourse analysis on 547 selected Indonesian newspaper articles reporting corruption scandals from 2010 to 2020, we identified three key discourses through which meanings around corruption and women were constituted, namely, a discourse of promiscuous sexuality, a discourse of moral ibuism, and a discourse of Islamic piety. The analysis drew attention to the importance of situating corruption and gendered media representation as an intersecting problem embedded in the social, political, religious, and historical contexts; as opposed to the dominant universal, objective, and positivist approaches to corruption studies.

“…Analysis of the representation of women in this scene shows the systemic injustice that often occurs against victims of violence, especially women. In the media, women are often represented as inferior to men with the dominant main characters that appear in gender-based violence, namely bad, crazy, and sad (Barlow, 2020). Powerlessness, lack of support, and pressure not to proceed with the legal process illustrate how women are often marginalized and marginalized in the quest for justice.…”

This study aims to reveal the representation of women in the short film Demi Nama Baik Kampus from the perspective of Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis. This research includes descriptive qualitative research with a critical paradigm. The research data are characters' speeches that show the form and meaning of actors' positions, while the data source comes from the short film Demi Nama Baik Kampus. The data collection was done by a note-taking technique that refers to Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis theory. The results showed that (1) the subject position is occupied by Sinta; (2) the object position is occupied by Mr. Rector and Mr. Arie; and (3) the audience position is directed to take themselves from the perspective of Sinta as a victim of sexual harassment who was silenced for the sake of maintaining the good name of the campus. At the end of the story, women are represented as brave, persistent, tough, strong, and powerful. In general, the implications of this research emphasize a more positive paradigm, inspire more responsible and inclusive media use, and promote the development of narratives that support gender equality and women's empowerment.Keywords: representation, women, short films, Sara Mills
