Book Review: "Dominance without Hegemony" 2008-04-09 14:38:00 I admire Edward Said for his brilliant work on debunking the myth of western hegemony by his study "Orientalism". His work has opened our mind that the dichotomy of western and eastern in fact was designed by the west to describe a tradition, both academic and artistic, of hostile and deprecatory views of the East by the West. Through this work, Said highlights the inaccuracies of a wide variety of assumptions as it questions various paradigms of thought which are accepted on individual, academic, and political levels. If you are interested in post-colonial studies, besides reading on Said's book, you may be interested to see one of the important book which discussed about the history of the colonial state in South Asia, especially India.

Theology and Imagination 2008-04-12 07:26:00 Ring Lardner, upon the occasion of his first visit to the Grand Canyon, remarked, "What a marvelous place to throw old razor blades." He was not usually a disrespectful person. But the sight of that incredible canyon, with the amazing riot of color and space, so overwhelmed him that he could not find words to match the experience. A wry, humorous aside sufficed. Most awe-inspiring events are so vast that words are inadequate for our response. So it is that preachers and pastors, who risk growing familiar with the mysteries of God, often are reduced to speech that may sound trite or at least (what is the word?) preachy. Words are the tools of our trade, so to speak. We are frequently invited to "say a few words." At public gatherings, we are expected to be profound and clever at the same ti

Book Review: "State Terrorism and Political Identity in Indonesia" 2008-04-11 18:23:00 Author: Ariel HeryantoApproximately one million innocent Indonesia
ns were killed by their fellow nationals, neighbours and kin at the height of an anti-communist campaign in the mid-1960s. This book investigates the profound political consequences of these mass killings in Indonesia upon public life in the subsequent decades, highlighting the historical specificities of the violence and comparable incidents of identity politics in more recent times.Contrary to the general notion, state terrorism was a common, persistent and basic mode of rule in the 20th century with a diversity in scope, intensity, duration and style. In many societies today it is close to having the status of a standard rather than aberrant mode of state rule. It has, at least on the surface, some modern and rational e Read more:State

Di Seberang Seni, di Sebarang Kaji 2008-04-11 17:50:00 This article discussed about the recent Indonesian visual art and its critic problems. Written by Nirwan Dewanto, editor of Sunday edition in Koran Tempo, for literary rubric, and a curator in Utan Kayu Indonesian cultural community. This article originally published at Jurnal Kebudayaan Kalam.BERDIRI di tengah keluasan seni rupa Indonesia hari ini adalah mencoba sadar bahwa khazanah ini sedang melebur, atau berusaha melebur, dirinya ke dalam kenyataan. Seakan kita mengenali bukan lagi barang seni rupa, tetapi sekadar barang yang naik ke singgasana rupa oleh suara sang kurator. Dan sebentar kemudian barang rupa itu pun kembali menjadi sekadar barang karena kita kehilangan gema suara dan bayang-bayang sang kurator. Sementara itu, si pembuat seni rupa juga tergoda untuk membuat bukan sekadar

Claudine Salmon Menguak Sejarah Indonesia-Tionghoa 2008-04-11 13:12:00 Oleh Maria Hartiningsih & Ninuk M PambudyPublished at Kompas printed edition (-cetak/0711/04/persona/3971408.htm) Baca dan pahami sejarah. Itu pesan Claudine Salmon (69), peneliti terkemuka kajian kesusastraan Melayu-Tionghoa. Melalui karya-karyanya, ia menolak warisan kolonial yang secara sepihak mendefinisikan "orang asing" dan "orang pribumi" menempelkan stigma terhadap orang Tionghoa dan melanggengkan diskriminasi.Kalau dilihat dari luar, yang disebut sebagai orang Tionghoa di sini artinya orang Indonesia
-Tionghoa, sebab mereka adalah warga negara Indonesia," ujar Claudine. "Orang Tiongkok tidak menganggap orang Tionghoa-Indonesia bagian dari mereka."Di Indonesia, lanjut Claudine, kalau ada istilah suku-suku, orang Tionghoa dianggap sebagai suku asing. Tetapi, siapa yang "asing", siapa

Art for the Soul 2008-04-13 00:18:00 Surveys show that 30 percent of Americans claim to be very interested in "learning more about spiritual direction," and another 32 percent say they are fairly interested. People of all ages appear to be interested in spiritual direction, a fact that is notable since churchgoing, prayer and many other forms of religious participation draw more heavily from older rather than younger segments of the population. Women are more likely than men to express interest in spiritual direction, but interest cuts across all levels of education. Church members are considerably more likely to be interested than nonmembers; indeed, the fact that more than four church members in ten express serious interest in learning about spiritual direction suggests that there is a huge opportunity for churches to do mo

Artscience: Creativity in the Post-Google Generation 2008-04-12 23:18:00 Author: David Edwards*Scientists are famous for believing in the proven and peer-accepted, the very ground that pioneering artists often subvert; they recognize correct and incorrect where artists see only true and false. And yet in some individuals, crossover learning provides a remarkable kind of catalyst to innovation that sparks the passion, curiosity, and freedom to pursue--and to realize--challenging ideas in culture, industry, society, and research. This book is an attempt to show how innovation in the "post-Google
generation" is often catalyzed by those who cross a conventional line so firmly drawn between the arts and the sciences.David Edwards describes how contemporary creators achieve breakthroughs in the arts and sciences by developing their ideas in an intermediate zone of hu Read more:Creativity

Ultraviolet air cleaners 2008-04-14 22:51:00 Many people worrying if ultra violet radiation causes skin cancer. The fact is, the light has to hit your skin for it to damage you, and the light will be encased inside of it. Also, you don't immediately get cancer even if some UV light hits you. If you are never exposed to ultraviolet light, your body can't make Vitamin D and you run the risk of getting rickets or other diseases.I'll inform you the importance of ultraviolet air cleaners
. Ultraviolet light is a wavelength of light that you've probably heard of because it's what causes sunburns. In a cleaner, though, it's a good thing - it doesn't just hurt your skin cells, but also kills germs.Today there are many Ultraviolet Air Filtration Systems, some of them do not use UV light to kill germs, they are labeled as using UV, but they use
'Ayat-ayat Cinta' survives heavy-handed treatment 2008-04-13 21:43:00 Filmmakers might be jealous of any number of factors in Hanung Bramantyo's latest film, Ayat-ayat Cinta (Verses of Love) of: the best-seller novel of the same name from which it was adapted; ample promotion; exotic locations; and even the otherwise problematic long delayed-release which does drive curiosity.However, these elements may pale in comparison with the advantage of endorsements by particular religious leaders in the name of a certain religion.And this is where the record must be set straight: giving religious consideration to this film is in the same vein with fussy trivializing concerns about downplaying the religious theme in Da Vinci Code.In other words, neither Ayat or Da Vinci are religious films. The Passion of the Christ is, and so are legendary Indonesian filmmaker Chaeru Read more:handed
Book Review: "The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets" 2008-04-15 03:26:00 Helen Vendler, widely regarded as our most accomplished interpreter of poetry, here serves as an incomparable guide to some of the best-loved poems in the English language.In detailed commentaries on Shakespeare
's 154 sonnets, Vendler reveals previously unperceived imaginative and sylistic features of the poems, pointing out not only new levels of import in particular lines, but also the ways in which the four parts of each sonnet work together to enact emotion and create dynamic effect. The commentaries--presented alongside the original and modernized texts--offer fresh perspectives on the individual poems, and, taken together provide a full picture of Shakespeare's technique as a working poet.Vendler's understanding of the sonnets informs her readings on an accompanying compact disk, whi
Perlunya Kajian Khusus Sastra Terjemahan 2008-04-14 23:36:00 Usulan menarik disampaikan oleh Siswo Harsono dalam diskusi bedah buku "Edgar Allan Poe dan Sepilihan Karyanya" (8/1). Menurutnya, dewasa ini banyak sekali buku-buku sastra hasil terjemahan yang bisa dengan mudah ditemukan di rak-rak toko buku, namun hingga kini belum ada satu kajian khusus terhadap karya-karya sastra hasil terjemahan itu.Kajian secara khusus ini perlu, mengingat banyaknya karya-karya terjemahan, namun hingga kini belum ada perhatian secara khusus dari pihak akademisi atau kritikus."Masalahnya, kita akan meletakkan buku ini di rak mana.

and the revelation of the Qur'an in the early years of the seventh century AD, the Muslim Holy Book has been the subject of many extensive analytical studies. The focus of the great majority of these studies has been the theological and legislative aspects of the Holy Book, for the Qur'an provides Muslims with detailed guidance on their everyday problems. Together with the sayings, actions, and recommendations of Muhammad, the Qur'an has been the ultimate source of legal authority for Muslims over the past fourteen centuries. Muslim scholars have painstakingly examined, analyzed and interpreted the various verses of the Holy Book, detailing the requirements the Qur'an imposes on Muslims in order for them to achieve spi Read more:Arabic

Art Awaiting the Saviour 2008-04-16 11:21:00 by: Dr.Ali ShariatiTranslated by Ms. Homa FardjadiIn the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen:YOU MIGHT feel that art, whatever form it may take, is a complex subject which requires proper specialization to speak about it and that one who attempts to talk about it must necessarily be an artist himself. You and I both agree that I cannot consider myself to be one. But on the other hand, my words here on art are not of the kind which are common these days. They differ from other talks given on this subject or themes in which one has to deal with the particular area of his specialization.There are some sciences which are oppressed in our society. They are oppressed in the sense that they have no particular owner. The reason they have no owner is because
The Death of Author: Merayakan Kematian Pengarang 2008-04-16 11:21:00 Ketika teks terlahir, maka pengarang telah tiada. Dia digantikan oleh pembaca yang bebas menafsirkan teksnya.Ketika membaca sebuah cerita, novel atau cerpen, muncul pertanyaan siapa sebenarnya yang tengah berbicara? Apakah sang hero, sang tokoh sebagai individual, ataukah sebenarnya suara pengarang sendiri yang disusupkan melalui suara tokoh-tokohnya maupun melalui sang narrator?Sang tokoh sebagai individu yang tengah memperjuangkan ideologi, misalnya, marxis, atau mungkin sang pengarang yang membela ideologi kaum feminis?Dikatakan oleh Roland Barthes dalam esainya The Death of The Author
bahwa ketika pengarang menulis karyanya, maka sebenarnya dia (pengarang) telah mati. Dia terpisah dari teksnya. Teks tersebut sekarang sudah bukan miliknya lagi.Pengarang adalah figur modern yang merupaka

The first biennial conference of the College
Book Art Association seeks to bridge the worlds of book art, book history, cultural criticism, and curatorial work through appreciation of the book as an aesthetic sensorium. Scholarship, artistic practice, and the digital age have evoked for us the multimedia nature of the book experience. Animated by practices that define anew the cultural record, contemporary book creators unsettle the categories whereby art is valued and appreciated, making new objects that expre
Stylistics Meets Cognitive Science 2008-04-16 10:56:00 Studying Style in Fiction and Readers’ Attention from an Interdisciplinary PerspectiveReaders’ attention has been studied in stylistics using notions such as foregrounding (MukaÍovský) and psychological prominence (Leech and Short). In this article, we offer a fresh perspective on this topic from CognitiveScience
. Our research draws on the psychological framework of “depth of processing” (e.g. Sanford and Sturt), which provides a context for studying different degrees of attention during reading. We identify stylistic features and narratological cues in fiction which we intuitively feel to be “attention-capturing devices.” We then use a new psycholinguistic technique, the text-change detection method (Sturt et al.), to test whether the stylistic features we have selected rea

Desire Under The Elms : a Summary 2008-04-18 19:18:00 a story by Eugene O'NeilThe land is the most essential asset to any farmer. In the play Desire
Under the Elms, this is also the case. The land in the play is the central theme, it holds all of the elements of the play together. It was the object of greed as well. The farm was the source of greed for three of the characters in the play, Ephraim Cabot, his son Eben, and his new wife Abbie. Peter and Simon focused their greed on the fields of gold in the West, primarily in California. One of the ways in which Eugene O'Neill made the land symbolic in the play was through the use of stones. Throughout the play stones, and the walls they created, are mentioned by both Ephraim Cabot and others. The land on this farm was very poor from the descriptions Ephraim Cabot gives us. The land, from his ac Read more:Summary
