About

Delmira Syafrini is a critical scholar whose work interrogates the intersections of gender, media, and social exploitation in contemporary Indonesia. Her research focuses on how mass media, while ostensibly a tool for national progress, often perpetuates new forms of oppression against women. In her highly cited 2014 paper, "PEREMPUAN DALAM JERATAN EKSPLOITASI MEDIA MASSA," Syafrini argues that media operates as a double-edged sword—simultaneously serving as a platform for empowerment and a mechanism for reinforcing patriarchal control. This foundational work, with 14 citations, has become a key reference for scholars examining the subtle, modernized exploitation of women through visual and textual representation. Syafrini’s contributions are vital for students and researchers in gender studies, media ethics, and Southeast Asian sociology, as she challenges readers to critically analyze the hidden power structures within seemingly neutral media content. Her work stands as a compelling call to recognize that exploitation has evolved, demanding new analytical tools to unmask its contemporary forms.
