“…This is in line with Fairclough's et al (2004) claim that social construction of meaning is never solely represented linguistically but also vocally and visually. However, until recently visual text has often been regarded as ‗merely' accompanying illustration to verbal text (Fei, 2004).…”

Abstract:In the Indonesian context, little has been done to raise awareness of political correctness in gender matters in school textbooks. As an attempt to fill this gap, I conducted a textual analysis on four English language textbooks used in Indonesian primary schools. The focus of the study was on the pictorial texts accompanying the linguistic ones. The ‗Visual Grammar', developed by Kress and van Leeuwen, was used as the framework of analysis. The results showed that the illustrations accompanying linguistic texts fortified the representations of gender asymmetry. Females were depicted more dependent than males and were also construed to be admirers of an action carried out by the males. The study recommended conscious efforts to value both genders equally in visualization as meaning construction is multimodal. Keywords: gender construction, visual grammar, pictorial texts, EFL textbooks KONSTRUKSI GENDER DALAM CITRA VISUAL PADA BUKU TEKS UNTUK SISWA SEKOLAH DASARAbstrak:Di Indonesia, upaya penyadaran pentingnya isu penyetaraan gender dalam buku ajar sekolah masih belum banyak dilakukan. Untuk itu, penelitian ini dilakukan sebagai salah satu cara penyadaran isu gender dengan menginvestigasi representasi gender dalam buku ajar. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis teks terhadap empat buku ajar yang digunakan di sekolah dasar. Fokus analisisnya adalah pada gambar ilustrasi yang menyertai teks tertulis seperti bagian bacaan. Gambar tersebut dianalisis dengan menggunakan teori ‗Visual Grammar' yang dikembangkan oleh Kress dan van Leeuween. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa gambar-gambar tersebut merepresentasikan ketidaksetaraan gender. Perempuan digambarkan sebagai sosok yang tergantung pada orang lain dibandingkan laki-laki yang mandiri dan mereka berlaku sebagai pengagum pekerjaan yang dilakukan laki-laki. Berdasarkan hasil temuannya, penelitian ini merekomendasikan upaya yang lebih serius dalam menampilkan peran gender yang seimbang dan tidak hanya ditampilkan dalam teks tulis namun juga dalam gambar karena pada dasarnya makna dikonstruksi secara multimodal.Katakunci:konstruksi gender, visual grammar, teks gambar.In the Western context, the consciousness of political correctness in gender matters in school textbooks and teaching materials has been progressively endorsed since

“…Fairclough noted that a linguistic-discursive analysis of texts is concerned with a critical awareness of what is present and absent in texts, which could include "representations, categories of participant, and constructions of participant identity or participant relations" (Fairclough, 1995b: 58; see also Fairclough et al, 2004;Fairclough, 2010).…”

“…There is a basis to this claim; as Fairclough et al (2004) acknowledge, "many social research papers identify discourses in whatever material they are analysing without giving much indication of what particular features characterize a particular discourse" (p. 3). It is therefore incumbent on researchers to be explicit in regard to what they understand as constituting discourse, but futile to impose 'a one size fits all' definition.…”

“…It is argued that a close examination of language in the form of utterances and texts can provide a richer and more nuanced understanding of the policy process than is possible from more traditional methods or techniques. As Fairclough et al (2004) explain, "people not only act and organize in particular ways, they also represent their ways of acting and organizing, and produce imaginary projections of new or alternative ways, in particular discourses" (p. 2). The way in which actions are represented in language is therefore of crucial interest.…”

In recent years, discourse analysis has been deployed by academics as a methodology to understand the urban policy implementation process, in particular, the ways in which key actors exercise power. Much of the discourse-based research in urban policy has drawn upon the writings of Norman Fairclough and Michel Foucault and seeks to provide a critical scrutiny of texts and utterances of policy makers and other key actors. The methodological assumption that informs discourse-based approaches is that politics is an arena in which different interest groups seek to establish a particular narrative or version of events as a means to pursue political objectives. This article begins by setting out the theoretical influences that have informed discourse analysis. There then follows a discussion of some of the studies that have deployed discourse-based research within urban policy, an evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses as a method and an assessment for new areas of enquiry. The article's conclusion is that discourse analysis provides the researcher with a set of tools to interpret urban policy in a theoretically informed and insightful way. However, there are some pitfalls associated with its techniques that require consideration before any analysis should commence.
