Abstract

Background: Corruption in Indonesia remains a persistent challenge, and the Anti-Corruption Law (UU Tipikor) has long been criticized for embedding state-centered framings and ambiguous provisions that complicate consistent enforcement. Objective: The purpose of this study is to critically examine how the language of anti-corruption law constructs ideological authority and distributes institutional power. Method: Using a qualitative design, this research integrates Critical Discourse Analysis, legal semiotics, and modality pragmatics to analyze statutes, regulations, judicial decisions, and institutional documents as a comprehensive corpus. Results: The findings reveal three central patterns: first, ideological framings foreground kerugian negara (state losses) and kepentingan umum (public interest) while marginalizing direct reference to citizens; second, key terms such as penyelenggara negara, gratifikasi, and patut diduga demonstrate symbolic ambiguity that sustains state authority yet undermines legal certainty; third, the predominance of discretionary modality (dapat) over obligatory terms (wajib, harus) illustrates how linguistic structures empower enforcement bodies while weakening mandatory accountability. Implication: The implication is that reform efforts must address not only institutional design but also the ideological framing and linguistic construction embedded within legal texts. Novelty: This study interrogates how the linguistic and semiotic construction of anti-corruption law in Indonesia sustains institutional authority while embedding ambiguity that shapes power distribution and enforcement practices.

Abstract

Background: Forest conflicts in Indonesia reveal that ownership is not only a legal question but also a struggle over memory, livelihood, ecological authority, and narrative legitimacy. Objective: This study aims to examine how Indonesian environmental literature represents extractive capitalism, Indigenous sovereignty, and narrative resistance in forest-centered narratives. Method: Using qualitative literary analysis, this study analyzes seven publicly verifiable Indonesian literary texts through political-ecological coding, eco-postcolonial close reading, Indigenous sovereignty analysis, and a narrative-resistance grid. Results: Findings show that forest ownership is represented as a contested field where concessionary access, timber labour, ecological depletion, and customary restraint produce competing claims over land and authority. Findings also indicate that Indigenous sovereignty appears through relational forms, including ritual memory, ecological knowledge, sacred trees, mythic agency, livelihood attachment, and more-than-human obligation. Implication: Findings further demonstrate that resistance operates through narrative form, especially testimony, labour witnessing, ecological warning, atmospheric symbolism, curse, mythic refusal, and sacred metaphor. Novelty: This study offers novelty by integrating extractive capitalism, Indigenous sovereignty, and narrative resistance into one eco-postcolonial framework for reading Indonesian environmental literature as a counter-archive of forest injustice.
