In recent years, a growing number of young people who experience illness tend to blog about it. In this paper, we question whether and how illness blogs illustrate the intercommunicative aspect of blogging by bringing forth both the literary concept of the implied reader and the sociological concepts of empowerment and agency in the analysis. We argue that young people blogging about serious illness demonstrate the inherent intercommunicative potential of blogging. We also argue that youth blogging about serious illness may represent a fruitful strategy for ill young people to create meaning, stay front-stage in youth communities and build self-esteem and confidence out of chaos. Furthermore, we argue that these blogs may contribute rather unique experience-based knowledge and reflections about existential issues to other young blog readers, who may otherwise not get access to this aspect of life. Youth blogging about serious illness thereby reflects a patient group so far not very visible and through the genre youth stand out as more competent when it comes to illness and healthcare issues than what is often presumed.

“…Kemajuan di bidang kesetaraan gender dan politik itu memberikan kemajuan yang positif, misalnya penelitian menunjukkan potensi media sosial untuk menantang dominasi laki-laki di bidang politik (Demirhan & Çakır-Demirhan, 2015) dan mengubah demokrasi supaya lebih memberikan peran kepada perempuan (Radsch & Khamis, 2013).…”

Penggunaan kata umpatan di Twitter berdasarkan gender di pilkada Sumatera Utara 2018

Di dalam pandangan tradisional, perempuan distigmatisasi menjadi lemah lembut dan anggun. Oleh karena itu, sangat jarang kita melihat perempuan mengatakan kata kasar di ruang publik karena tabu bagi mereka. Media sosial menyediakan ruang virtual bagi orang untuk berinteraksi tanpa batas yang jelas. Orang-orang di Internet (netizen) dapat mengatakan hampir semuanya di media sosial tanpa memikirkan dampak negatif pada apa yang mereka katakan. Beberapa netizen melewati batas kesusilaan dengan mengucapkan kata kasar kepada netizen lain tanpa berpikir yang mungkin menyakiti seseorang. Studi terbaru menunjukkan bahwa kata-kata kasar dapat menyebabkan cyberbully yang pada akhirnya akan mengarah ke bunuh diri. Dengan demikian menggunakan kata kasar di media sosial mungkin memiliki dampak yang sama dengan menggunakannya dalam kehidupan nyata. Kemajuan media sosial telah menyebabkan penggunaannya dalam politik praktis. Kandidat politik menggunakan media sosial untuk mempromosikan profil mereka dan akhirnya mendapatkan pemilih. Sayangnya tidak semua dari mereka yang memposting komentar di media sosial beretika, termasuk perempuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pemanfaatan Twitter dalam mengeluarkan kata umpatan berdasarkan perbedaan gender dalam pemilihan gubernur. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis Twitter sebagai platform media sosial paling umum yang digunakan dalam politik. Sebagai contoh, penelitian ini menangkap 5000 tweet dari pemilihan pilkada Sumatera Utara 2018 di Indonesia. Teknik statistik deskriptif digunakan dalam menganalisis data.

“…She found that through their online discussions, users were able to redefine their positions and "circulate revised normative interpretations" for the victim-blaming rhetoric that dominates mainstream media (p. 800). In the Arab world, despite women's low literacy level, disadvantaged economic situation, and physical and sexual threats as well as intimidation during the Arab Spring revolutions, their use of social media was very effective in raising women's voices, educating women about their rights, and empowering them with discourses to counter negative practices against them (Khamis 2014;Newsom and Lengel 2012;Radsch and Khamis 2013).…”

This paper explores how Twitter has been used in the debate on women's right to drive in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The overarching aim of this investigation is to explain how gender roles and the relationship between the genders are navigated in these debates. For Saudi Arabian women, social media platforms such as Twitter provide a unique space to express opinions and highlight areas of concern in a way that they are unable to in any other public sphere. The exploration of the debate on women's right to drive in the KSA was achieved by collecting a body of tweets in Arabic addressing this topic from the last three months of 2015. Following a corpus-assisted discourse studies approach, this paper analyzes arguments by Twitter users discussing the KSA's ban on women drivers, which may have contributed to women being granted the right to drive and also raised awareness of the restrictions imposed on women.
