Abstract

Nationalism is an attitude of awareness to achieve, maintain the identity, integrity, prosperity, and strength of the nation. Nationalism issues are always hotly discussed in the media. The freedom of the mass media now allows users to respond to issues of nationalism and prioritize group interests. This study aims to describe the representation of nationalism in informal communication in the form of debates on the article media through interactive discourse based on the signs and meanings of the respondent through semiotic analysis. This research is focused on linguistic data in the form of contentious texts an interactive discourse on the internet media on the issue of nationalism with the theme of rejecting the Criminal RUU KUHP in Indonesia. The method used is the case study method with a grounded theory approach. Semiotic analysis in this study refers to the theory of Peirce and Organon from Karl Buhler. The findings of this research that the issue of nationalism that rolled out by the media gets pros and cons responses from the respondent based on group truth and interaction patterns tend to be anarchist. The issue of nationalism rejecting the Criminal RUU KUHP was responded to by the question because it felt contrary to the truth of the group. Based on these findings, the representation of nationalism an interactive discourse on internet media tends to be one-sided. The responders no longer think in their entirety to uphold the integrity of the nation but are influenced by the interests of the group.
