One such community is Komunitas Baca Bareng or Silent Book Club Jakarta, which is among many growing literacy communities, especially in Jakarta. What makes this community unique is its activity: members read silently together without any session for introductions or discussions afterward. This is different from most literacy communities, which usually begin or end with book discussions or social interactions.Using a qualitative approach and the ethnography of communication method, this study aims to explore the communication patterns within the community and how social bonds are formed despite minimal verbal interaction. The study adopts a constructivist paradigm, using Symbolic Interaction Theory and FIRO Theory to understand the motivations behind members’ participation. Data were collected through observations and interviews with community participants. The findings show a unique communication pattern where interaction is optional. The silent reading experience itself fulfills the interpersonal needs of participants and fosters a meaningful sense of togetherness. This study highlights how meaningful social connection can emerge from nonverbal and minimal interaction through shared activity. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/1/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_Fulltext.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/2/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_CP.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/3/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_01.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/4/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_02.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/5/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_03.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/6/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_04.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/7/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_05.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/8/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_Ref.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50908/9/Zalfa%20Saedah%20Ananda_6662210106_Lamp.pdf identifier: Ananda, Zalfa Saedah (2025) POLA INTERAKSI SOSIAL KOMUNITAS BACA BARENG : SILENT BOOK CLUB JAKARTA.
