ABSTRAK
Wacana merupakan basis produksi kekuasaan, legitimasi dan hegemoni dari kelas dominan yang memproduksi hal-hal seperti gagasan atau pengetahuan yang mengandung ideologi dari yang mereproduksi wacana, seperti halnya dalam keluarga, sekolah, tempat kerja, organisasi sosial dan aktivitas kehidupan sehari-hari, termasuk juga di dalamnya adalah gaya hidup. Proses hegemoni wacana gaya hidup adalah salah satu strategi dari kelas dominan untuk melakukan politik imperialisme budaya. Dengan bahasa yang menarik dan persuasif yang ditawarkan dalam majalah, proses politik imperialisme budaya memperoleh pembenaran, karena majalah sebagai agen tidak hanya menginformasikan gaya hidup dari suatu budaya tertentu tetapi mampu mendefinisikan mana pola hidup yang dianggap benar. Penelitian ini didasari untuk membongkar makna wacana gaya hidup yang ditawarkan dalam sebuah majalah franchise USA yang masuk ke Indonesia, yaitu Cosmogirl! Indonesia, melalui rubrik fashion The CG! Look: Gaya Seleb dan trend modelnya sebagai bentuk orientasi dari proses imperialisme budaya barat ke budaya timur. Dalam rubrik The CG! Look: Gaya Seleb, Cosmogirl! tidak hanya menyajikan fashion-fashion yang sedang menjadi trend dan digunakan para artis luar negeri yang disarankan untuk diadopsi, namun juga menyembunyikan pesan-pesan secara eksplisit dan tidak disadari. Nilai-nilai yang dikenalkan oleh Cosmogirl! terlihat dalam tema-tema pada rubrik fashion The CG Look: Gaya Seleb terlihat bagaimana Cosmogirl! menyajikan model fashion yang sedang trend dan tentu saja didukung dengan strategi-strategi yang menampilkan sisi positif dari gaya berbusana ala barat. Strategi-strategi tersebut dilakukan oleh Cosmogirl! dengan cara menyerang citra diri kita sebagai remaja wanita yang pastinya ingin tampil semenarik mungkin.
