Information Disorder and Symbolic Violence in Social Media: A Narrative Literature Review of Indonesian Adolescent' Digital Communication

Abstract

The transformation of the digital communication landscape has presented the phenomenon of information disorder that has the potential to construct symbolic violence, especially among Indonesian adolescent as active users of social media. This research aims to analyze how digital communication patterns in the form of information disorder shape and perpetuate symbolic violence, as well as its impact on the communication behavior and social interaction of Indonesian adolescent. Through a narrative literature review approach, this research integrates findings from various academic sources, focusing on the dynamics of digital communication, manifestations of symbolic violence, and interaction patterns on social media. The analysis reveals that information disorder has created new communication patterns that can systematically trigger and perpetuate various forms of symbolic violence in the digital space. Adolescents' vulnerability to this phenomenon is influenced by the complexity of interactions between digital communication patterns, socio-cultural contexts, and the characteristics of social media platforms. The identified impacts show significant changes in adolescents' communication patterns and social interactions, including transformations in the way they construct meaning, construct identity and establish social relations in digital spaces. The study also identified that effective communication strategies in impact mitigation should integrate digital literacy with Media and Information Literacy (MIL), supported by participatory communication and community empowerment approaches. The findings make a significant contribution to the development of a more effective communication model in protecting the digital well-being of Indonesian youth
