Pertemuan 1

2. Bagaimana anda mendefinisikan wacana?

3. Linguistik: wacana adalah satuan bahasa yang lengkap, sehingga dalam
hierarki gramatikal merupakan satuan gramatikal tertinggi dan terbesar.
• Konsep dan gagasan
• Persyaratan gramatikal
• Kohesif atau serasi

4. Cultural Studies: A discourse is
"a language or system of
representation that has
developed socially in order to
make and circulate a coherent
set of meanings about an
important topic area.”
(Fiske, 1987)

5. discourse is
constituted by a group
of sequences of
signs, in so far as they
are statements, that
is, in so far as they can
be assigned particular
modalities of
existence” (Foucault
1972:107).

6. Language is also a medium of
domination and social force.
It serves to legitimize
relations of organized
power… language is also
ideological (Habermas, 1977)

7. Beyond description or superficial application, critical science
in each domain asks further questions, such as those of
responsibility, interests, and ideology. Instead of focusing on
purely academic or theoretical problems, it starts from
prevailing social problems, and thereby chooses the
perspective of those who suffer most, and critically analyses
those in power, those who are responsible, and those who
have the means and the opportunity to solve such problems.
(van Dijk, 1986)
