Abstract

This study investigates the discourse dynamics and cultural representations conveyed through Indonesian cinema, with a specific focus on the film Sayap-Sayap Patah Dua. The primary research problem centers on understanding how cinematic discourses employ visual and linguistic strategies to reflect, construct, and challenge socio-cultural realities in contemporary Indonesia. The objective of this research is to analyze the underlying discourse mechanisms that reveal social tensions, cultural identities, and power relations within the film. Employing a qualitative critical discourse analysis (CDA) approach, the study systematically examines visual symbolism, dialogue patterns, and narrative structures to uncover the layered meanings embedded in the cinematic text. The analysis identifies recurring metaphors such as “wings” symbolizing freedom and repression, alongside language patterns that depict social hierarchies and cultural tensions. The results demonstrate that the film not only portrays societal struggles but also actively participates in shaping discursive debates around authority, individual agency, and cultural identity in Indonesia. Such findings contribute to the broader understanding of film as a potent medium for cultural discourse and social critique. This research underscores the importance of analyzing cinematic discourse to appreciate its role in cultural representation and societal transformation. The study also highlights the significance of visual and linguistic strategies in shaping perceptions of social realities through cinema. Limitations include the focus on a single film, suggesting future research avenues such as comparative studies across multiple cinematic texts or audience reception analysis to deepen insights into cinema’s influence on social discourse.

Abstract

This study investigated the use of conventionalised impoliteness strategies and their metapragmatic comments employed by the main characters in the Instant Family (2018) movie. Using Culpeper’s (2011) framework of impoliteness, the study identified nine types of conventionalised strategies and examined how hearers evaluated them through verbal and nonverbal metapragmatic responses. In addition, a descriptive qualitative method was applied to analyze the interactions among the Wagner family members, uncovering patterns of impolite utterances and their social dynamics. The result showed that the most frequently used conventionalised impoliteness strategies were direct insults, pointed criticisms, and unpalatable questions, which Ellie and Lizzy mainly employed. At the same time, Juan did not display any impoliteness, indicating a gender-based distribution. These strategies were responded to through various metapragmatic responses, including verbal forms such as denials, justifications, and counter-attacks, as well as nonverbal expressions. In conclusion, it highlighted the contextual nature of impoliteness and suggested that family-based narratives offered a rich foundation for examining pragmatic phenomena in everyday interactions.
