Abstract

This research analyzes the poem "AKU" by Chairil Anwar using Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, which includes three dimensions: text, discourse practice, and social practice. The study results show that this poem represents an autonomous subject identity and rejects hegemonic norms. Textually, the diction and structure of the poem assert resistance against the dominant language. In discourse practice, this poem was born as an expression of literary modernism during the colonial era. Socially, the poem functions as a form of critique against the oppressive ideological structure. Thus, the poem "AKU" is not merely an aesthetic work, but also a discursive action that creates a space of resistance
