Abstract

Praktek-Praktek kekerasan dalam inisiasi sekolah merupakan bentuk tindakan dehumanisasi yang dilakukan di tingkat sekolah menengah atas di Indonesia terhadap siswa-siswi baru. Implikasi negatifnya muncul tidak hanya di internal sekolah saja, tetapi secara sosial telah merambah ke level yang lebih luas, yaitu merebaknya perilaku kekerasan di tengah masyarakat. Situasi yang telah berlangsung lama ini memerlukan penanganan secara kultural melalui Kemah Perdamaian (Peace Camp). Peace Generation sebagai salah satu organisasi berbasis pemuda menggelar program ini untuk mempromosikan nilai-nilai solidaritas, dialog antaragama, tindakan nir-kekerasan, dan pengenalan identitas sebagai modal berinteraksi sosial di lingkungan sekolah, keluarga, dan masyarakat. Melalui Kemah Perdamaian praktek-praktek kekerasan di sekolah secara perlahan berhasil diminimalisir dan diinternalisasi.

Abstract

Appropriate technology is actively involved in the discourse of the developing of environmental friendly technology that can be used by local household in the developing countries. Still, many experts neglect the social dimension that may affect the sustainability in the pre and after construction processes. By acknowledging the theory of appropriate technology and social construction of technology, this paper is in attempt to shed the light of social dimensions that are often embodied in the social setting in which technology is constructed.

Abstract

The paper concerns a youth environmental movement in Bandung to save the urban forest Babakan Silawangi. It is proposed that space for protest plays a significant role in social movements such as environmentalism. Public assembly allows activists to voice their political objections and make their discontent known to the citizenry. Yet political space is different to physical place. According to Henri Lefebvre, political space is an assemblage of co-creation by individuals who occupy the space and demonstrate their subjective meanings for it in expression and lived experience. Since the subjective/collective meanings perceived and experienced by the activists are powerfully enacted, the space itself may shape their identity and this study explores those meanings, which are relational, contextual, and spatial.

Abstract

Biogas development in Indonesia has reached a large number of users since 2009 and the technology has had a successful adoption rate at the local level. However, the ways that users develop and adopt innovation with regards to this useful technology has been under-researched. This study aims to address the innovations being undertaken by biogas users; these innovations are a decentralising process of technical knowledge that is based on users’ interpretations of pre-existing social and cultural values they experience in everyday life. Through innovation, users can demonstrate a greater sense of ownership, which leads to them feeling more able to integrate the biogas into their lives, including its incorporation into agricultural activities at home. The main recommendation drawn from this research is that users’ ideas and knowledge, as well as the social-cultural values underlying their everyday lives, should be taken into account in order to ensure successful construction processes and that they be understood as co-shaping elements that will enable a smooth immersion of the users and the technology.Article History: Received November 26th 2015; Received in revised form January 15th 2016; Accepted January 26th 2016; Available online How to Cite This Article: Alam, M.

Abstract

The proliferating public interest in conservation can be explored by monitoring what people say and what people do on social media platforms. YouTube is one of the resources for digital conservation studies as the users are allowed to archive and share content. Meanwhile, networks visualization provided by computer software is powerful to preserve vernacular languages since text(s) tagging is one of the main processes in gaining data. The present study aims to answer research questions using a transdisciplinary approach to sociology, ethnobotany, and communication science. Thus, this research enquires; (a) how might conservation of Toraja rice landraces be practiced continuously? (b) what are the current forms of conservation that are developed and accepted as Toraja socio-cultural activities? (c) how do social media platforms, YouTube, for instance, contribute to the conservation efforts in rice landraces? (d) what are the social implications of conservation education through social media? In order to answer the above questions, six different research methods, namely, observations, in-depth interview, mapping distribution of rice landrace varieties in six fields of studies, calculating Index of Cultural Significance on rice accessions for practicing conservation rice landrace. Digital conservation and conservation culturomics were also measured using NodeXL and API for visualizing the graph of YouTube videos network and calculating the frequency of words occurrence according to search string Toraja rice ritual. The outcome from the study indicates the current forms of conservation by cultivating and consuming rice landrace varieties on everyday life and ritual, as well as preserving rice and agriculture images on wood carving motifs, folk song, and folk dance. The digital conservation efforts are demonstrated by archiving and broadcasting rice rituals on YouTube videos. With an increase of frequency on word occurrences by Toraja language on hashtags on YouTube videos, the users were contributing to participatory culture for preserving vernacular language and promoting agricultural innovations in digital conservation ecosystems and environmental communication.

Abstract

Recently, an intense discussion has developed among religion and social issues researchers on the discourse of spiritualism. The existence of spiritualism has changed parts of human civilization, including religious attitudes and expressions that exist in the public sphere. Therefore, in this study, the authors examined the discourse of spiritualism exemplified by Jamaah Maiyah Cak Nun. The model of spiritualism that the authors adopted was different in context from the cultural spiritualism studied by many scientists. This study sought to elaborate and explore the surge of religious spiritualism promoted by Jamaah Maiyah Cak Nun using a qualitative research framework. In addition, this research leads to a social and religious anthropological research model that combines virtual ethnography and fieldwork. The results of this study revealed the existence of spiritualism promoted by Jamaah Maiyah Cak Nun. Meanwhile, the development of various models of different aspects of spiritualism could not be separated from the support of the community itself. The Jamaah Maiyah's interaction also deserved attention; universal religious expressions and egalitarianism were the domains of the community. This research should be a reference for developing religious and social discourse in the future.

Abstract

Until today, the existence of stray animals remains a source of contention between the public and the authorities. Public policy seems to be elusive in regulating this phenomenon, as it presents sociocultural conundrums. While there is a continued unclarity in the government regulations, cultures, and normative values; non-government organisations emerged with autonomous resources to take care of stray animals. The present study examines the efforts of several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Brunei that are committed to the rescue and treatment of stray animals via the rising phenomenon of stray animals. Despite receiving no financial support from the Government, these stray animal care organisations consistently forge informal co-operative networks with members of the public and non-governmental organisations; in order to sustain their resources, maintain daily operations, and manage finances and other stray animal-related health issues.
