Abstract

The rapid dissemination of knowledge through information technology is facilitated by expanding access, but this development has drawbacks due to political interests. One of the media used to spread propaganda that promotes polarization is comics. The researcher analyzes how popular comics mix provocative discourses to influence their readers and what themes they adopt. Using critical discourse analysis, the researcher examines three main dimensions of propaganda discourse production, dissemination, and impact in comics. The data analyzed includes 1237 comic strips by Komikkita, of which 87% contain political propaganda, and 10.9% contain propaganda that targets followers of a particular religion. The study suggests that comic writers carry out the mission of a particular group through their media, indicating that discourse cannot be separated from the motives and values that the discourse architect wants to disseminate. This finding supports the elementary theory of discourse initiated by Van Dijk.

Abstract

Games have evolved beyond entertainment and become captivating spectacles with interesting stories and visuals. While most prioritize visuals, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is popular in 2022 due to its combination of music and story, making it a phenomenal meme. Because of this phenomenon, the researcher wants to examine how music can enhance the story elements of a game. To get an answer to this phenomenon, the researcher operates Fairclough's critical discourse analysis to examine the seven-song lyrics contained in the game Metal Gear Rising into three dimensions of analysis: microstructure, mesostructure and macrostructure. The researcher found that the song's lyrics enrich the narrative elements of the MGSR series by utilizing six styles of language: symbolism, metaphor, hyperbole, rhetoric, personification, and tautology. This research can provide an initial report on the association between literature, aesthetics and music in popular culture.
