Abstract

Background: The complexity of Indonesian legal drafting has long undermined public accessibility, as most statutes and regulations remain unreadable for the majority of citizens. Objective: The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges and opportunities of implementing plain language in Indonesian regulatory reform. Method: Using a mixed-method design, this study integrates readability analysis, syntactic complexity assessment, and discourse analysis on a corpus of statutory and regulatory texts. Results: The results show that Indonesian legal documents record very low readability scores, requiring graduate-level comprehension, and exhibit entrenched structural obstacles such as long sentences, passive constructions, and nominalizations. Discourse analysis further reveals that legal texts reproduce authority through formulaic expressions and intertextual references, limiting inclusivity and citizen engagement. However, plain language guidelines introduced by national agencies demonstrate that reform is feasible, offering pathways toward more accessible and participatory lawmaking. Implication: The implication of this study is that plain language reform is not merely a linguistic choice but a necessary institutional transformation for democratic governance. Novelty: This study highlights how entrenched linguistic and discursive conventions in Indonesian legal drafting limit public accessibility while demonstrating the transformative potential of plain language for more inclusive and participatory governance.

Abstract

Background: Contemporary Indonesian poetry increasingly circulates through digital platforms where literary dissent is shaped not only by textual form but also by visibility, shareability, comment infrastructures, and paratextual framing. Objective: This study examines how contemporary Indonesian poetry transforms dissent from a textual mode of critique into a platform-mediated public practice. Method: Using qualitative digital literary discourse analysis, this study analyses thirteen public poetry posts, five secondary scholarly sources, and three contextual sources through critical dissent discourse analysis, platform visibility mapping, and multimodal-paratextual semiotic analysis. Results: Findings show that poetic dissent is concentrated around state power, democracy, violence, memory, political economy, regional precarity, and bodily autonomy, but it is articulated through metaphor, satire, testimony, mourning, allegory, and symbolic indirection rather than direct ideological declaration. Findings also show that platform visibility is uneven: all poems are technically shareable, yet only some generate visible reader interaction or cross-platform traces. Implication: Moreover, editorial framing, authorial biography, regional markers, visual cues, and performance references shape how dissent becomes publicly readable. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in reframing contemporary Indonesian poetry as mediated cultural action in which literary form, algorithmic circulation, and paratextual publicness jointly configure political meaning.
