Multimodal Portrayal of Joko Widodo on Tempo's Cover Story: A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis

An Indonesian-language Tempo Magazine's cover story published in the September 14, 2019 edition was controversially perceived and interpreted by some parties as an insulting discourse towards Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The cover story in that edition was undeniably motivated by a political issue in Indonesia at the time. The issue was President Jokowi's approval of the new bills for the Corruption Eradication Commission (Indonesian: KPK). In this research, we investigated how the cover story in that edition had portrayed President Jokowi. The Tempo Magazine's cover story was selected as this research data. The cover story consisted of pictorial and linguistic modes. In the analysis, we employed a Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) approach to reveal ideological meanings behind those modes. After analyzing them, we found that the cover story had portrayed President Joko Widodo negatively. The negative portrayal came from the silhouette in the pictorial mode and the social actions represented in the linguistic mode. The results of this research can scientifically contribute to answering the question of whether the cover story insulted the Indonesian President or not.

The Centrality of the Actor-Network of the Manpower Bill in Tempo's Weekly Magazine Reporting

Through the use of media sovereignty theory to examine the media in utilizing their freedom of authority, as well as analysis of communication networks to identify the presence of the central actor in Tempo's reporting.

The logistics of neoliberal slavery: legal production of illegality

ABSTRACT The rapidly rising global capitalism and the increasing competition of neoliberal markets have speeded up temporary migrant workers' flow and exacerbated labor extraction through a sophisticated logistics system that contributes to neoliberal slavery in the twenty-first century. This essay argues that the legal ideology of citizenship in contemporary societies has contributed to the legal production of illegality, and consequently, new forms of internal colonization. This essay also urges the conceptualization of “citizens” to de-link with the notion of nationality based on abstract ideas of blood, religion, language, etc. “Citizens”—“city-dwellers”—should refer to those who live and work here belong to the place and should enjoy equal access to the social space. To elaborate my argument, I take the image of the sardine can at sea on Tempo magazine as a metaphorical trope for the complex logistical network that supports the neoliberal slavery system in the twenty-first century. From this axis of the logistic chain, I shall analyze the engine that drives the regeneration and transformation of the slavery system of today. The geo-historical parameters and the local economic demands are constitutive figures that pave the path to recruiting temporary migrant laborers as surplus reproductive troops. The discourse of multiculturalism is convenient for recruitment as a disguise. The juridical stipulations based on the legal ideology of citizenship further aggravate civic space's physical and symbolic violence. I shall conclude with the logistics of neoliberal slavery locked up with the citizenship ideology and propose a new conceptualization of citizenship and civil rights.
