Abstract

Instagram has become a communication trend among UIN Sunan Kalijaga students. Most of students have an Instagram account as a means of interacting and connecting with their colleagues as well as those outside of campus life. The presence of Instagram has also provided a new space for the emergence of communication identity in student life. The world of social media that cannot be separated from visual construction gives another kind of identity. The qualitative method used to examine this phenomenon was carried out by a focused group discussion (FGD) and online observations on Instagram on 12 students who had at least 2 years Instagram account. Four layers communication identity showed by the students. Personal layer, enactment layer, relational layer and communal layer cannot separated each other. The informants exhibited their layer as part of their other layer. Norms as part of personal layer used to guide what the students do and don’t in instagram. The students of UIN Sunan Kalijaga studied showed that the communication identities they got from their surroundings cannot separated from their online behavior on social media.
