This field becomes increasingly interdisciplinary since it attracts contributions from disciplines such as sociol- ogy and anthropology, as well as communication and media; we would like to see even more philosophy and politics. Interdisciplinarity is important to building an integrated lens through which to look at this new field and to solidifying social sciences as an attractive intellectual home for studying HMC. The range of topics addressed in these 10 articles is wide, branching in many exciting directions. However, when considered holistically as a collection, the articles in this volume deal substantially with four layers of discourse, which are relevant to moving forward the HMC project. They are as follows: (1) updates to the- oretical frameworks and paradigms (MASA; Lombard & Kun), (2) examination of ontol- ogizing and prototyping processes (Etzrodt & Engesser; Banks et al.), (3) a critical turn regarding gender (Liu) and ability/disability (Davis; Denhert & Leach), and (4) exploration of HMC in organizational contexts (Gibbs et al.; Johanssen & Wang; Piercy & Gist-Mackey; Prahl & Van Swol). 1. Progressing on CASA With the MASA Paradigm and Discussing it From Another Angle Innovation at the theoretical level is necessary to work out a new field of research such as HMC but it is understandable that at the beginning scholars try to use the theories that they have inherited from past or contiguous fields. There are a plethora of theories avail- able today, starting from those developed to address the field of mediated communication, passing through telephone communication (fixed and mobile) and especially through computer-mediated communication. Among these theories, we observe that the most important, theoretical development in HMC has focused on CASA (Computers as Social ISSN 2638-602X (print)/ISSN 2638-6038 (online) www.hmcjournal.com Copyright 2021 Authors. Published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license. 7 8 Human-Machine Communication Actors), the influential paradigm proposed by Nass and colleagues in the 1990s (Nass et al., 1994; Nass et al., 1996; Nass et al., 1997). According to CASA, people treat computers in some of the ways they treat humans by mindlessly applying to them the same social rules they use in human-human interactions. In this volume of Human-Machine Communica- tion, Lombard and Kun in their article, “Social Responses to Media Technologies in the 21st Century: The Media Are Social Actors Paradigm,” revisit CASA by expanding it and launching a new paradigm: the Media Are Social Actors (MASA) paradigm. This para- digm is elaborated in a very sophisticated way by introducing the distinctions among social cues, the effects of social cues on medium-as-social-actor presence and social responses, and then by examining the role of individual differences and contextual factors. Lombard and Kun also propose consideration of mindless and mindful anthropomorphism as two complementary mechanisms for understanding MASA. Based on evolutionary psychology explanations for sociality, they offer nine formal propositions and suggestions for future research to test and apply MASA. In the previous volume of Human-Machine Commu- nication, Gambino, Fox and Ratan (2020) first proposed an extension of CASA, arguing that humans do not necessarily implement social scripts associated with human-human interactions as predicted by CASA, but perhaps also social scripts that have been developed for interactions specific to media entities. Their extension enables us to explain previous dissonant findings and expands scholarship regarding HMC. The problem first addressed by Reeves and Nass (1996) is the acknowledgment that the spontaneous and immediate response to media is faulty. Humans respond in social ways to mediated representations that mimic real life, but

This is done by analysing four different series from 2010s, in which incest is a major theme. The analysis is done using visual analysis. The study concludes that although the series can show sexualization of drawn underage girls, reading the works as if they would posit either real or fictional little sisters as sexual targets. Instead, the analysis suggests that following the narrative, the works should be read as fictional underage girls expressing a pure feelings and sexuality, unspoiled by adult corruption. To understand moe, it is necessary to understand the history of Japanese animation. Much of the genres, themes and styles in manga and anime are due to Tezuka Osamu, the “god of manga” and “god of animation”. From the 1950s, Tezuka was influenced by Disney and other western animators at the time.

    JKT48 As the New Wave of Japanization in Indonesia Rizky Soraya Dadung Ibnu Muktiono English Department, Universitas Airlangga

    JKT48 as the New Wave of Japanization in Indonesia Rizky Soraya Dadung Ibnu Muktiono English Department, Universitas Airlangga Abstract This paper discusses the cultural elements of JKT48, the first idol group in Indonesia adopting its Japanese sister group‘s, AKB48, concept. Idol group is a Japanese genre of pop idol. Globalization is commonly known to trigger transnational corporations as well as to make the spreading of cultural value and capitalism easier. Thus, JKT48 can be seen as the result of the globalization of AKB48. It is affirmed by the group management that JKT48 will reflect Indonesian cultures to make it a unique type of idol group, but this statement seems problematic as JKT48 seems to be homogenized by Japanese cultures in a glance. Using multiple proximities framework by La Pastina and Straubhaar (2005), this study aims to present the extent of domination of Japanese culture occurs in JKT48 by comparing cultural elements of AKB48 and JKT48. The author observed the videos footages and conducted online survey and interviews to JKT48 fans. The research shows there are many similarities between AKB48 and JKT48 as sister group. It is then questioned how the fans achieved proximity in JKT48 which brings foreign culture and value. The research found that JKT48 is the representation of AKB48 in Indonesia with Japanese cultural values and a medium to familiarize Japanese culture to Indonesia. Keywords: JKT48, AKB48, idol group, multiple proximities, homogenization Introduction “JKT48 will reflect the Indonesian cultures to fit as a new and unique type of idol group”. (JKT48 Operational Team, 2011) “JKT48 will become a bridge between Indonesia and Japan”.
