Critical Discourse Analysis: Social Inequality in the Film Turah by Wicaksono Wisnu Legowo

Abstract

This article aims to describe the linguistic space of discourse on social phenomena through the audio-visual media of the film Turah regarding social inequality that still applies today (modern) from a critical discourse perspective. The analysis used is Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis which focuses on the "irregularity" of social phenomena in the film Turah. The critical discourse process observes subjects, objects and social issues regarding social inequality. The research results are the conclusion of the analysis that has been carried out, that the film Turah contains aspects that build the phenomenon of social inequality in terms of dialogue and social practices in the real world. The results of the analysis also take the form of indirect criticism of social interaction actors from the lowest to the highest layers. Collaboration to build good community relations is one step that can create a balanced view of social status.
