Songs of Innocence: The Chimney Sweeper 2008-03-27 18:27:00 by William BlakeWhen my mother died I was very young,And my father sold me while yet my tongueCould scarcely cry 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head,That curled like a lamb's back, was shaved: so I said,"Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare,You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair."And so he was quiet; and that very night,As Tom was a-sleeping, he had such a sight, -That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, and Jack,Were all of them locked up in coffins of black.And by came an angel who had a bright key,And he opened the coffins and set them all free;Then down a green plain leaping, laughing, they run,And wash in a river, and shine in the sun.Then naked and white, all their ba Read more:Innocence

Manneke Budiman Menanggapi Esai Ahmadun YH 2008-03-30 14:00:00 Editor note: This is a response from Manneke Budiman to "AAC Puncak Fiksi Islam", taken from mailing list Media Care.Coba perhatikan baik-baik asesmen Ahmadun Yosi Herfanda terhadap novel AAC:KEUNGGULAN:Kekuatan pertama ya judulnya, seperti yang saya jelaskan tadi. Kedua, pada keteladanan tokoh Fahri. Menurut saya, ini merupakan puncak idealisasi fenomena fiksi islam. Saat itu kan lagi fiksi Islami berkembang sebagai sebuah fenomena. Kita belum menemukan puncaknya seperti apa. Kemudian muncullah Ayat-Ayat Cinta dengan mengangkat teladan tokoh yang menarik.Teladan tokoh ini penting bagi pembaca muda maupun pembaca perempuan dan keluarga yang memang merindukan bacaan yang mencerahkan. Fahri ini mengandung keteladaan, bisa jadi teladan perjuangan, sikap keislaman. Dan itu ternyata pas untuk k
Ayu Utami: Ayat Ayat Cinta Pengecut 2008-03-30 13:51:00 Film Ayat Ayat Cinta (AAC) kini telah tembus 3 juta penonton. Sebelum sukses filmnya, novel dengan judul ang sama juga laris manis. Setelah film rilis, novel AAC juga kembali diserbu pembeli.Sayang meski laris manis, novel ini kurang mendapat apresiasi dari sastrawan atau kritikus sastra lainnya. Hanya sastrawan yang tergabung dalam Forum Lingkar Pena (FLP), tempat bernaung penulis AAC Habiburrahman El Shirazy, yang memuji-muji novel ini.Sementara di luar FLP, jarang kritikus sastra ataupun sastrawan yang tertarik atau telah membaca novel ini. Mayoritas sastrawan dan kritikus sastra yang dihubungi detikcom mengaku belum membaca, bahkan menyatakan tidak berminat membaca AAC.Dari sedikit sastrawan yang telah membaca karya Kang Abik, panggilan Habiburrahman adalah Ayu Utami.

Benarkah?Saya tertarik untuk mengujinya. Tidak perlu dengan penelitian ilmiah. Tapi dengan hukum dagang bakulan yang sederhana saja.Awal Maret lalu. Dalam sebuah kesempatan diskusi di Semarang, manajer Penerbit Republika bercerita pada saya. Katanya, sejak kemunculannya di bulan Desember 2004, novel Ayat Ayat Cinta telah terjual 80 ribu eksemplar. Dan angka itu, lanjutnya, masih mungkin terus merangkak naik. Saya takjub mendengarnya. Sebab, selama 15 bulan beredar (terhitung sejak Desember 2004 hingga Februari 2006 - ed), novel itu berarti telah terjual kira-kira 5300-an eksemplar tiap bulannya. Angka yang fantastik untuk penjualan buku di Indonesia. Apalagi jenis

Fitna is really bad film 2008-03-30 06:40:00 Fitna, an anti-Islam film by Dutch politician Geerth Wilders has provoked a racial sentiment to moslem around the world. In this film, Wilders want to show that Qur'an has threatened democracy. The release of a controversial anti-Islam film on March 28, had been expected to cause turmoil among Muslims in the Netherlands and abroad.Indonesian religious leaders rejected that film to be featured in Indonesia, saying it was offensive to Muslims. A section of Muslims in Mumbai also has asked the Government to ban the controversial film. Malaysia's former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has called on Muslims around the world to boycott Dutch products. However many Muslim countries reacted more calmly to the film.The refusal to Fitna not only comes from moslem country, but also from international

Postfeminism vs. the Third Wave 2008-04-04 19:08:00 In reading the essays on postfeminism in this section of EBR, I'm struck by the imprecision of the term. Some of the essays - like Stobb's - seem not to be discussing postfeminism per se, but just younger feminist negotiations with the conditions of life in the early 20th century. Others, like Guertin, use the term postfeminism but without a particular sense of its significance; this piece seems more to be discussing feminism in general, or perhaps third wave feminism - I find the discussion of cyberfeminism fascinating, but I don't buy that it's equivalent to postfeminism. Helford, Yaszek, and Mazza seem to be engaging with the idea of postfeminism in ways that I find most interesting and useful; they're identifying something other than third wave feminism, and they're considering the sig

Habiburrahman El Shirazy: No intentions to counter 'Satanic Verses' 2008-04-06 07:26:00 Islam is an easy target for misrepresentation. It has been misunderstood and misused for centuries by its ignorant followers as well as its "enemies".It is no surprise then that questions about the nature of the religion have been reiterated over the past three decades.Does the faith recognize human rights? Is it compatible with democracy? Does it respect women? Is it tolerant? Can it cope with modernity and adopt its modern institutions? A bulk of scientific, philosophical articles have been written to answer these indicting questions, but the prejudices against the faith persist.It is in such a frustrating situation that Muslim author Habiburrahman El Shirazy writes his novels and now plans to translate his most popular piece, Ayat-Ayat Cinta (Verses of Love), into English.The movie base

Breaking a writing block 2008-04-06 07:03:00 All writers experience the occasional writingblock
.Every few months I go through a period of time when I feel nauseous (that is, physically ill) whenever I sit down to write. It's as if my cobbler's elves have gone on strike and put up a "Gone fishing" sign. Years ago, I took this response as a sign that I should give up writing, and do something which made more sense. I agonized, wondering what the heck was wrong with me. Stupidly, I also binned whatever I was working on when the block hit. You should NEVER do this. Heaven knows how many manuscripts I binned when I wasn't thinking straight. It took me a long while to realize that you can't bully creativity. You can coax it, but you can't flog it into action.All creative people need to have regular periods where they relax and take a brea Read more:Breaking

In Claire Holt’s report, Art in Indonesia (1968), she states that there were a total of seventy-four registered art-related organizations in Yogyakarta in 1955. Of that number, fourteen were general groups –and this included student founded organizations with common ethnic backgrounds, seventeen dancing clubs, sixteen music clubs, twelve drama clubs and seven fine art clubs. These organizations dealt with traditional or modern art forms. In addition to these organizations, campus-based student bodies had not been idle in their respective colleges.
