Abstract

Utomo, Gigih Panggayuh. 2017. “The Anticommunism Discourse in the Social Context of Pulau Buru Tanah Air Beta Movie: Critical Discourse Analysis Teun A. van Dijk Model”. Undergraduate Thesis Faculty of Humanities. Diponegoro University. Supervisor: Drs. Hendarto Supatra, S.U., M.Th. Language as a communication tool can be used for the purpose of domination. By the power of a person or group, language can be a weapon to control other people or groups. Orde Baru as a party who had access to disseminate information about the complicated of 1965 turned into a single version and set out to be the official history of the government. This version was then used to build anti-communism discourse which in it’s place became the dominant discourse of society to eradicate communism in Indonesia. This research tries to uncover another angle of history through the Pulau Buru Tanah Air Beta movie. This movie is a documentary that reveals the experience of violence from the point of view of former Buru island political prisoners opposed to the discourse that was built by Orde Baru. Researchers use critical discourse analysis to dissect the ideology in a discourse. Of the many critical discourse analysis models, the Teun A. van Dijk model uses more linguistic elements to be the researcher's choice in text translation. Discourse analysis van Dijk model is not built on the analysis of text alone, but also emphasize the cognition and social context underlying a text is made. Based on the results of this study, it can be interpreted covert intentions in the text (in this case the Buru Tanah Air Beta movie) through analysis of linguistic elements. Furthermore, through the cognitive analysis and social context surrounding the making of the text, facts about an event can be revealed. The incident that became the social context surrounding the making of the Buru Tanah Air Beta movie is the violence and unfair treatment of the people who had been used as political prisoners of Buru island, and the discourse of anticommunism as the dominant discourse of society that became legitimacy of violence against people who not 'clean environment'.
