Instagram is one of the social media that is widely used by Indonesians. Instagram users in Indonesia are under Instagram users from the United States, Brazil and China. The emergence of social media Instagram is a new and interesting dynamic to research based on Vincent Mosco's descriptive study of the political economy of the economy. One way to see and analyze an issue or phenomenon of communication is through the descriptive study of Vincent Mosco's political economy and economy. In theory, Mosco refers to the globalization of the political economy of media which explains where there is a transition from old media and when new media emerge. Thus the formulation of the problem of this research is how the political economy practice of communication in the use of Instagram social media during the Covid-19 pandemic which was observed from Anies Baswedan's Instagram account.

It can be concluded that social media is a means based on internet technology (online media) such as Instagram which allows a person to interact, communicate, collaborate and share information with others. Even Instagram users can easily participate directly in it. Commodification, spatialization and structuration are three important elements in political economy because they can bring about changes in function or use values. Commodification is one of the elements that is directly related to how the process of transforming goods or services (along with their use value) into a commodity that has an exchange value in the market. Spatialization is a process when dealing with time and space. Structuring is a communication or media activity associated with social structures.

Das Thema soziale Gerechtigkeit steht wieder ganz oben auf der politischen Agenda. Seit die Pandemie-Anfälligkeit der globalen Gesellschaft deutlich vor Augen geführt wurde, wirkt Covid-19 überall wie ein Brandbeschleuniger: Hunger, Armut, gespaltene Gesellschaften, Populismus und Autoritarismus scheinen vermehrt die Folge. Der Bedarf an Handlungsempfehlungen in der Krise ist groß. Der Capability Approach (CA) liefert für die Adressierung aktueller Gerechtigkeitsprobleme ein umfassendes und zugleich praktisches Konzept. Vielversprechend scheint insbesondere der systematische Zusammenhang von Freiheit, sozialer Verantwortung und demokratischer Praxis, der in anderen Ansätzen wie z.B. dem bedingungslosen Grundeinkommen weniger Berücksichtigung findet. Abstract: Realisation of Social Justice in the “Crisis”: Freedom, Social Responsibility and Public Use of Reason Within the Framework of the Capability Approach The issue of social justice is back at the top of the political agenda. Since the pandemic vulnerability of global society has been shown dramatically, Covid-19 has been acting like a multiplier: hunger, poverty, divided societies, populism and authoritarianism seem to be increasingly the result. The need for recommendations for action in the crisis is great. The capability approach (CA) provides a comprehensive and at the same time practical concept for addressing current problems of social justice. Especially, the systematic connection of freedom, social responsibility and democratic practice, which is not considered in other approaches such as the unconditional basic income, seems promising.

This article contributes a framework for understanding the convergence of two ‘transactional ecosystems’ or, put differently, the convergence of two types of currency: money and attention. The former is represented in the push to make commercial transactions ubiquitous and seamless (e.g. as in mobile payment systems), while the latter is represented by theories of the ‘attention economy’ and subsumed in the ‘attention and engagement’ metrics that currently shape the production and distribution of content on digital and mobile platforms. The means of communication and commerce, of payment and attention, are increasingly wedded together in the same device or platform implying that how we pay for things is bound up with ‘the things to which we attend’. Drawing on literature on the political economy of media, this article provides historical and theoretical contexts for this convergence, offers some paradigmatic examples alongside industry analysis and concludes by raising potential concerns emerging from its current trajectory.
