Abstract Power, conforming to particular political groups of the society, is exercised on the masses by making them believe in the legitimacy of that dominance. This association enables the groups to exercise their power and promulgate their ideologies through their discourse as well. One illustration of this discourse appears in the form of political manifestos. Utilizing the tool of language, the political actors (as agents of political parties) set agendas, pertinent topics and position their stance in these manifestos. Framed under critical discourse analysis, the current study attempts to investigate this act of ‘legitimation’ promulgated by Chilton (2004) and the strategies of Authority Legitimation, devised by Van Leeuwen (2008). The article illustrates how the power-holders utilize their linguistic resources to authorize their stance, idea, and action. The study helps explicating the relation between power, ideology and language and promulgates consciousness regarding the reality constructed by humans, as social and political actors.

Mass-Mobilization is one of the key ingredients for not only launching a movement but also for spreading any political agenda. The involvement of the masses always plays an important role in a process of bringing change anywhere and at any time. The history of South Asia, however, witnessed that in the struggle against the colonial rulers, to begin with, started by the elite alone. Politics was considered as the domain of a selected few and the common men were considered as ignorant and perhaps irrelevant and thus were kept at a distance. It was only after the beginning of the twentieth century and especially after the entrance of Gandhi on the political screen that the masses gained importance and were directly involved in political affairs. They not only became part of the Non-Cooperation Movement but also played an important role in spreading the movement all across India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight Gandhi’s efforts to mobilize Indian masses during the Non-Cooperation Movement and its impact on the future politics of the region. The paper also discusses in detail different groups of society that actively participated in the process of mass-mobilization.

Nowadays, Twitter is increasingly used as a communication network by many parties, which includes politicians, to spread and receive information. However, if observed, most politicians are less concerned with the usage of Malay language when they upload a tweet. Deduced from this problem statement, this study focuses on the usage of Malay language found on politician’s Twitter accounts, through various observations. Based on several selection criteria, this research studies the Twitter account of Malaysia’s former sixth Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak (@NajibRazak). The study was conducted based on the Discourse Analysis Theory to identify the content of uploaded tweets, as well as to analyse the pattern of language used based on the themes that have been classified. This study adapts a qualitative approach in which the text analysis method is chosen to analyse the data. The results show that some of the content identified in t @NajibRazak's tweets and the pattern of language used in each speech varies based on the three that have been identified. The use of language highlighted in the writing of the subject's Twitter tweets shows that the language he uses is easy to comprehend by Twitter users as well as the common community. In short, the study shows that the former Sixth Prime Minister has made a clear discourse analysis on the writing of tweets on Twitter and hopes that this study helps future research, especially in the field of political communication. Keywords: Social media, Twitter, politicians, discourse analysis, textual.

[Title: The Jargon of Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidate; Nurhadi-Aldo in the Pre-Election Discourse in Indonesia in 2019] This study discusses the phenomenon of the emergence of the fictional vice-presidential candidate Nurhadi-Aldo in the midst of the heat of the situation in 2019 pre-election Indonesian politics with a number of unique jargon. The uniqueness of jargon is the result of the words that are used so it is interesting to discuss the meaning and structure of the sentence. This study uses a theory that is discourse analysis theory to find the meaning of these jargon. The theory of discourse analysis consists of three structures, namely (1) macro structure, (2) superstructure, and (3) microstructure. The macro structure consists of thematic observation domains or themes. The superstructure consists of a schematic field of observation, namely how the structure and elements of the discourse are arranged in full text. The micro structure consists of the domains of observation (a) semantics, (b) syntax, (c) stylistics, and (d) rhetorical. However, in this study the realm of syntactic observation is not used because it is considered that no data can be examined.

This chapter evaluates the question of the ‘complex’ in a range of scientific, political and psychoanalytic contexts, asking not only where lines of connection and demarcation occur among specific distributions of meaning, value, theory and practice; but also probing the psychoanalytic corpus, notably Freud’s writings on the notion of a ‘complex’, in order to reframe various implications of the idea that this term tends to resist its own utilisation as both an object and form of analysis. This section establishes connections between three sets of theoretical questions: the common practice of describing modernity and its wake in terms of a drive towards increasing complexity; the meaning and cultural legacy of phrases such as ‘military-industrial complex’ and sundry derivations in the political sphere; and the intricacies and ambiguities subtending the term ‘complex’ within psychoanalytic theory. As a concept that Freud both utilised and repudiated, the provocative power of the term ‘complex’ is linked to the way it thwarts various attempts at systemization (providing nonetheless an apparatus of sorts through which contemporary science, Slavoj Žižek, Noam Chomsky, Freud, Eisenhower, and post-war politics can be articulated to one another).

Media is considered to be the fourth pillar of democracy. Mass media in particular has immense potential to shape the attitudes of the common masses. With the passage of time, media is becoming an all-powerful engine of social change. It plays the role a catalyst in churning the minds of the masses. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the news items brought to the knowledge of the public pay a strong role in creating a mandate. People have varied choices when it comes to their media habits. They are greatly influenced by their socio-economic background and educational exposure. This paper aims to identify the influence of demographic variables like gender, age, education and employment status on the choice of media.  The paper also highlights the current and emerging media habits of people.
