Power, Marginalization, and Resistance: A Critical Discourse Analysis of ASUU-TSU's Strike Declaration Press Release

Öz

This research study analysed the press release issued by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Taraba State University Chapter (ASUU-TSU), which announced a total, comprehensive, and indefinite strike action on the 5th of December, 2024. The study was anchored on the Critical Theory, and Critical Discourse Analysis was adopted as a research design. With the help of Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis, the research examined ideological positions, power dynamics, and socio-political implications of the press release. The findings of the study revealed that the ASUU-TSU press release employed a structured narrative and strategic linguistic features to highlight the systemic challenges within the university system in Taraba and Nigeria at large. The study further revealed that emotional appeals, repetition, and references to legal frameworks were utilized to emphasize the gravity of the grievances and to establish the union’s legitimacy to embark on strike action. The discourse framed the union as an advocate for justice and institutional integrity while positioning the government as accountable for systemic neglect. This research contributed to understanding labour struggles in the Global South by demonstrating how language functioned as a tool for resistance and collective action.
