Abstract

Although the linguistic theory of Ferdinand de Saussure is widely recognised as the forerunner of structuralism, it is often treated in the humanities and social sciences today as a stepping stone toward more sophisticated, generalised semiotics and theories of discourse. As a result, social and political implications of Saussure’s original conception of language have frequently been underestimated. Drawing from the classic lecture Course in General Linguistics and the fragmented notes collected in Writings in General Linguistics, this article offers a reconstruction of the social and political dimensions that were present, albeit in an inchoate form, within Saussure’s own theorisation. To act as a foil to the reconstructed Saussurean position, this article calls upon an essay that charts the historical development of the concept of discourse authored by Ernesto Laclau, who is perhaps the most politically oriented thinker among the many inheritors of the Saussurean legacy.

Abstract

The first article in this issue of Retorik, “Human’s and Nonhuman’s Negotiations after the Conversion of the Function of Mangrove Forests into Salt Mines” by Eventus Ombri Kaho, examines the transformation in the relationship between humans and nonhumans following the conversion of mangrove forests to salt mines in East Nusa Tenggara. From a posthumanist perspective that draws from Donna Haraway and Rosi Braidotti, Kaho examines how the intimate relation between the inhabitants of the Weseben village with the mangrove forest were lost due to the salt mine development and goes on to consider how the damaged human-nonhuman “kinship” might be recovered.

Abstract

The present issue of Retorik was envisioned as the second installment of the special volume celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies at Sanata Dharma University. While Vol. 13, No. 1—featuring a guest editorial by one of the founders of the Program, Dr. Stanislaus Sunardi—comprises six articles from alumni of the Program who were invited to contribute, several articles included in this issue, Vol. 13, No. 2, are responses to an open call for papers circulated in April 2025. The theme of the CfP was: “Cultural Studies after the End of the World,” or, in the Indonesian version, “Kajian Budaya Setelah Kiamat.” Of course, what is meant by “the end of the world”—deliberately rendered with theological undertones in the Indonesian version, i.e., as “kiamat” (apocalypse) rather than the more neutral “akhir dunia”—merits some clarification.
