    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1. Latar Belakang Kontes kecantikan adalah suatu ajang yang berfungsi sebagai media dalam menyuarakan hak-hak di ranah publik melalui perempuan (Watson dan Martin, 2004). Maka dari itu para peserta kontes kecantikan dilatih untuk mampu berbicara baik di hadapan public, memiliki tingkat kecerdasan yang tinggi, impresi yang menarik, terampil dalam berkomunikasi dan juga memiliki rasa percaya diri (Shaiber, dkk., 2017). Kontes kecantikan modern pertama kali diadakan di kota kecil di Belgia yaitu kota Spa pada tahun 1888. Koran lokal memuat sebuah pengumuman yang bertajuk “perempuan paling cantik di dunia” saat itu dan masyarakat diminta untuk mengirimkan foto dan profil mereka. Marthe Soucaret terpilih menjadi pemenang kontes tersebut dan bisa dikatakan bahwa ialah ratu kecantikan pertama di dunia (Rappler, 2017). Kontes Kecantikan secara umumnya sudah mulai bisa diterima secara lokal, nasional maupun secara internasional. Untuk saat ini, kontes kecantikan yang dianggap paling terkemuka secara internasional adalah Miss World yang ditemukan oleh Eric Monley pada tahun 1951, Miss Universe yang diselenggarakan pertama pada tahun 1952, Miss International yang pertama kali diselenggarakan pada tahun 1960, Miss Supranational yang pertama kali diadakan pada tahun 2009, dan Miss Grand International yang pertama kali diselenggarakan 1 pada tahun 2013 dan ditemukan oleh Nawat Itsaragrisil. Kelima kontes kecantikan tersebut terkenal dengan sebutan The Grand Slam Pageants (Global Beauties, 2019). Di Indonesia sendiri kontes kecantikan juga cukup beragam. Kontes kecantikan di Indonesia memiliki beberapa tingkat dan jenis, mulai dari kontes pemilihan duta pariwisata tingkat kota atau kabupaten, duta pariwisata tingkat provinsi, kontes kecantikan tingkat universitas, dan kontes kecantikan tingkat nasional. Kontes kecantikan di Indonesia yang bertaraf nasional biasanya mendapat perhatian lebih dari masyarakat karena adanya publikasi media massa terhadap kontes kecantikan tersebut.

  • Seeding a Sustainable Society
    REPORT Seeding a Sustainable Society WWF-Indonesia Annual Report 2012 INTO THE BLUE A scientist closes in on the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, in Papua’s Cenderawasih Bay. This is not the time to be intimidated; the diver will need patience and skill to attach a satellite- linked data recorder and transmitter onto this gentle giant. Armed with this data, WWF and other organizations can learn more about shark behaviour (for example, where they migrate and how deep they dive) and from there, advocate to protect this amazing species. Across the Indonesian archipelago, original research such as this continues to be the foundation on which we build our conservation work—both under and above water.

  • Motherhood, Women Issues and Masculinity: Deconstructing Global Beauty Pageants
    International Journal of Research on Social and Natural Sciences Vol. III Issue 1 June 2018 ISSN (Online) 2455-5916 Journal Homepage: www.katwacollegejournal.com Motherhood, Women Issues and Masculinity: Deconstructing Global Beauty Pageants Yeamanur Khatun, English, Panchmura College, India Article Record: Received Mar. 30 2018, Revised paper received May 22 2018, Final Acceptance June 6 2018 Available Online June 7 2018 Abstract This paper aims at deconstructing the fashion beauty pageants' organisational claim to provide the contestant models and winners platforms to treading through global relations and achieve worldwide recognition, while actually fostering the myth of beauty with culturally-fabricated norms of femininity and masculinity holding up the concepts of 'Complete' or 'Perfect' woman or man to the fore. Here, we seek to talk about the political hegemony working from behind the colossal fashion world economy and how the pageants are being manipulated by the larger capitalist countries through their market capturing tactics. But what we intend most is to show that the pageant contestants sometimes act as passive resistants, countering the hegemonic discourse to dismantle the norms set by the Fashion Politics, starting from Manushi Chhillar's vote for remunerative motherhood to Reita Faria's choice of forming her own identities in their attempt to refuse the laid out set of ideologies. Keywords: Deconstruction, Fashion, Beauty pageants, motherhood, femininity, masculinity, Norms, Binaries 1. Introduction Much ink has been split upon the normative binarization of femininity and masculinity as culturally- fabricated constructions and their presentation in international beauty pageants is termed ideological and discursive. Beauty pageants treat gender as one more category along with other categories of 'caste', or 'nation' as reflected in the seemingly 'worthy' title ascription such as "Miss India" or in the very entrance forms they fill in ticking on the given boxes of gender, nationality ,religion or maritalstatus.
