FEMININITY AND MASCULINITY IN INDONESIAN POPULAR MUSIC VIDEOS by HANNAH CARSWELL Under the Direction of Dr. Megan Sinnott ABSTRACT This work fills a gap in research on Indonesian popular culture by delving into the presentation of femininity and masculinity in Indonesian music videos. Through a textual analy- sis of four videos, a survey of the video YouTube comments, and interviews with Indonesians about these videos, the author examines the presentation of Order/Chaos and other Male/Female binaries in the music videos and their relationship with the current pop culture and political envi- ronment.
