French colonialism is one of the important issues in African history. Léopold Sedar Senghor, the founder of the Négritude movement, expressed resistance through his works, one of which was the poem, Neigesur Paris(1945), against slavery, oppression, and inferiority carried out by the French.This article discusses criticism of French colonialism in the poem Neigesur Paris(1945) by Léopold Sedar Senghor. This research is a qualitative study using a postcolonial approach with Sub-altern theory written by GayatriSpivak, Négritude by Léopold Sédar Senghor, and also a structural approach.The findings of this article are criticism towards the construction of French civilization in the postwar period. The critique states that the pardon expressed by the Poet against the French people for the practice of colonization is a weapon to attack back France and show pride of the African identity that is presented through depictions of nature and African tribes.
Demonstration is a way of expressing an opinion in a democratic country and every citizen has the right to voice his opinion. Student demonstrations in front of the Parliament building on September 24, 2019 were often compared to the demonstrations of their predecessors in 1998 in terms of the purpose and manner of different demonstrations, including the use of language. This can be seen from the poster that contains messages that are called on by students as can be seen in various social media accounts and in newspapers. The poster that was brought in this demonstration was even highlighted in the media, both in print, television and social media. This study examines the posters using Jacobson's communication theory and critical discourse analysis to see how students voice their political aspirations. Through this research it was found that students associate political issues with personal problems through their messages on posters. Also, the message they convey is humorous and ignores Indonesian language rules.
