Abstract

Collage combines the semiotic tradition of Roland Barthes, the phenomenological tradition of Edmund Husserl, the critical tradition of Karl Marx, and the point of view of Jurgen Habermas in visual communication. The collage technique creates trans-aesthetic elements and double codes, a Dadaist method of encoding signs. Building on previous research, this study explores collage art as a communication act and its process in the digital era. Digital photography technology and computer software facilitate quicker and easier creation of collage art, emphasizing the fundamental concept of "paste." This pasting-sticking process mirrors the communication process of art and design in the digital era, illustrating cyclical communication capable of transcending space and time. The research has several conclusions. (1) By enhancing visual communication strategies and efficiency based on the spirit of the Dadaism renewal movement, unique collages can be created as a personal sign of message(s). (2) Collages as communication act in the digital era represent dialogue in trans-aesthetics code. (3) On the other hand, with the spirit of Dadaism that contains a free mind, open creation, and emphasis on social-cultural issues, collages as a communication process are also possible to frame messages and create fallacy.

Abstract

Background: English as a general subject, known as Mata Kuliah Umum (MKU) in Indonesian tertiary education, primarily aims to develop students’ second language (L2) proficiency. These courses are therefore designed to encourage the use English during classroom interactions. However, many students choose to remain silent or resort to using Indonesian instead. Objective: This study examines students’ unwillingness to communicate/participate in English during classroom instruction, both during and post pandemic. Methods: It employs the third generation of the Activity Theory as the analytical framework, with the units of analysis being activities across the micro, meso, and macro levels. Using a case study approach, data were collected from multiple perspectives–students, teachers, and policymakers– through interviews. Course syllabi were analyzed as part of the dataset. Findings: The findings suggest that the policy makers’ decisions influenced the communication behaviour in both online and offline classes. This study highlights the importance of fostering L2 use habits through policymaking strategies such as aligning instructional practices with intended learning outcomes, establishing explicit language-use rules, and providing supportive tools and learning environments. Conclusion: Additionally, it emphasizes the need for teachers to deepen their understanding of the Communicative Language Teaching Approach (CLTA), particularly in balancing the development of both fluency and accuracy.
