Nationality Discursive of Hamzanwadi: A Socio-Cognitive Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) Perspective of Teun A. Van Dijk

Abstract

This study explores the discursive ideological aspects of Hamzanwadi's nationality in the national movement's texts, languages, and institutions. Language texts as names or designations and institutions of national movements have cognitive content, ideologies, norms, and values, all of which give birth to awareness as a nation that must be independent and have a better life. The study is based on Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework through micro-macro, namely the existence of power as control. This context of mastery gives birth to Hamzanwadi's discursive nationality with the ideology of cognition, attitudes, norms, and productive values for Indonesian nationality. The study uses historiographic methods, with techniques for documenting historical texts of national struggles through historical sources and interviews. The study data were analyzed as a discursive discourse with the Van Dijk CDA micro-macro framework. Each text data is explained in finding socio-cultural relationships with the ideological substance that gives birth to nationality through cognitive awareness, attitudes, ideologies, and norms. The study found that Hamzanwadi's discursive nationality began with thinking as a form of cognition awareness of the fate of his people due to colonized conditions. Cognitive awareness gives birth to establishing educational institutions as a forum and instrument to build the same mental understanding of the context happening. The naming of educational institutions and mass organizations reflects the affirmation of national attitudes through the attitude of wanting to be free and live equal to the civilization of other nations. Discursive nationality does not stop at the cognitive awareness, attitudes, and values of the importance of independence but continues with the agenda of filling freedom with continuous development.
