Abstract

The Kanjuruhan tragedy resulted in hundreds of casualties. Media has reported on this event from various perspectives. The audience attempts to view the incident through the lens of several parties involved, including the football players, fans, security guards, and committees behind the scenes. What intrigues the audience is the decision by the president to renovate the Kanjuruhan football field in accordance with FIFA standards. This study applies a combined approach of reader’s response method and thematic analysis. Reader’s response theory guides the analysis of podcasts by Universitas Negeri Surabaya’s English Literature students. These podcasts discuss the Kanjuruhan Tragedy using Stuart Hall’s circuit of culture (production, representation, identity). Utilizing the Circuit of Culture theory by Stuart Hall, the study finds that media plays a significant role in producing and representing information about the Kanjuruhan tragedy. Media consciously positions itself and repeats the news, resulting in the notion of surveillance culture. Therefore, the decision to renovate the Kanjuruhan football field is seen as a reflection of temporal negotiation to divert the issue away from focusing on the victims.
