This paper proposes a method to identify and visualize repetitive structures in a pairwise representation of music to support people to imagine their affinity for music and the lightness of music intuitively, or in other words without listening to it. Repetitive structures in this paper are fragments that a music piece contains multiple times, and all these fragments may be slightly different but are perceived as very similar. For example, a tune might have little difference in tonality and could be performed by different kinds of musical instruments. We propose an algorithm to identify repetitive structures in a tune by using a self-similarity matrix. Identified structures are visualized on two kinds of images. One is a colored cylinder of varying diameter where colors represent repetitions and the diameter represents volume changes; the other is repetitions lines image, where different pairs of repetitions are shown on the Y-axis and the duration of each repeated pair is shown on the X-axis with a color. We selected eight tunes based on music psychology to evaluate the performance of the identification and visualization technique. Finally, we found that the amount of repetitions is related to the affinity for music, but not to the lightness of music. Volumes in both high-affinity music and high-lightness music change drastically.

This paper tries to describe the Marxist Feminist values that are embedded within the movie Suffragette. Suffragette is a movie created by Sara Gayron and was premiered by the French cinema PathA©. Suffragette was inspired by a true story of the movement from the Radical Feminist group Suffragette led by Emmeline Pankhurst, in fighting for the women’s rights for political participation. Suffragette tells the story using the perspective of the main character Maud Watts, a laundry service worker who joined Pankhurst in raising the issue of sexual harassment and women’s rights to vote in front of the Parliament; which mainly consists of upper class Caucasian men. This paper exhibits the inequality between the upper class and the domination of masculinity towards the labors/female labors. This research adapt on Sara Mills’ Discourse Analysis methodology in order to provide description of the Marxist Feminist values which was adopted within the character of Maud Watt, as the research subject, and the act of resistance by Suffragettes as the object; in addition, placing the movie viewers as the reader and Sara Gavron as the writer. The values of Marxist Feminism were visible through the scene which the character Maud Watts gave her testimony before the court and within the Darby Horse Race scene which the group Suffragette performed their protest. The court scene showed the resistance from the female labor group, which represents the rejection against the hegemonic masculinity values that’s projected by the upper class Caucasian men in parliament. In the final scene, the Darby, which was considered as an activity for the elites and demonstrates masculine and competitive values, was chosen as a channel to demonstrate the labor class women’s resistance.

This paper discuss about gender and sexuality in popular literature by doing comparative studies of Indonesian literary works and Japanese literary works. In Indonesian literature, there is a genre called ‘sastra wangi’ (fragrant literature) that has emerged since Ayu Utami’s first novel Saman published in 1998 two weeks prior to Suharto’s fall, and in 2001 Ayu Utami’s next Larung was published. Those two novels represent the ‘sastra wangi’ genre. The label of ‘sastra wangi’ refers to somewhat disapproving term, because for the writer like Ayu Utami the freedom of expression is everyone’s right, including the discussing about sexuality. Meanwhile in Japanese literature and populer culture, there is a genre called ‘yaoi’ which illustrating a homesexual relation between male. ‘yaoi’ genre can be found at many artworks, such as manga, anime, novel, and film. The anime Junjou Romantica is one of the artwork represented the ‘yaoi’ genre. This paper is aim at showing how discourse in novel Saman, Larung, and anime Junjou Romantica are represented through the narration and character’s expression, are those the discourses express the ‘woman freedom’, and then are there any parallelism between ‘sastra wangi’ genre and ‘yaoi’ genre. By using comparative method with postructuralism feminist (postfeminism) perspective, it is found those novels Saman, Larung, and anime Junjou Romantica showing many discourses through portraying the character’s expression and thier narration. The discourses in novel Saman and Larung are conveying the criticism of phallocentris’values, such as denying a marriage's value and destabilizing heterosexual relation by doing free sex and homosexual attitude. From all the main character which portrayed in novel Saman, Larung, and Junjou Romantica, we can see the same discourses reveal the expression of woman freedom from male’s domination.

Asma Nadia is a reading house at Sumbang Subdistrict, Banyumas Regency, Central Java which started on May 26th , 2016. There were nine volunteers at the reading house. The objective of reading house was to increase reading interest and build mental character especially for children. In fact, the reading interest was high but it was not supported with adequate reading house facilities. The limited reading space in reading house made them to shift another area. In addition, the collection of books was limited as well. In terms of library management, there were many unrecorded and unclassified books and ability of volunteers to use information technology were relatively low. Morover, In terms of funding, there had been several efforts made by volunteers such as selling drinks or making paper flower but those were undeveloped well. So, by those problems, some programs had been created such as training Senayan Library Management System (SLIMS) software, classifying and labelling books, holding on e-commerce business communication strategies workshop and children writing competition. The generated outcome from the internal community activities were implemented for library information systems, publications on ISSN community service of scientific journal, and online publication.

Our health is the primary key to our activeness and productivity to create something that would benefit others. Our advancement in modern medicine has greatly helped us to reinforce our health. But, despite the modern medication we now have, and the world’s health campaign, access to medication and modern healthcare can still be so hard to reach for several people in some area. One of the example of alternative medication that is now getting on trend is none other than Ningsih Tinampi from Pasuruan, East Java. Ningsih Tinampi has been practicing alternative medication for 5 years, and had published contents about the practice in her personal Youtube account, which now has gained over 1.5 million subscribers which range from the older to the younger generations, including the Z generation. This is something that we found interesting, since the Z generation, culturally speaking, is so far from practice of animism, dinamism, and any other practice that would sound irrational. The researching team wants to find out how the Z generations perceive the practice of alternative medication which has been constructed at Youtube. The method of this paper uses the study of phenomenology with a qualitative way of research. The theory of social constructionism will be used as the guiding theory and the result showed that the Z generations truly believe that the viral contents in Youtube is true and real.Keywords : New Media, Z Generation Communication, Social Constructionism, Mass Media
