Abstract

Access to information is a fundamental requirement for developing quality humanresources. One prominent source of such information is Wikipedia, a website whichadvertises itself as "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit". This paper, which isbased on participatory action, observational, and library research conducted over aperiod of ten years, describes the multicultural dynamics of the Indonesian-languageWikipedia (WPID) after first situating it within the context of the global Wikimediamovement. Established in 2003, WPID freely (in both the libre and gratis sense) offersmore than 380,000 articles with a wide range of information which can be used forhuman resources building. Its more than 2,200 active users, originating from variedbackgrounds, (re)produce knowledge through several means, including writing originaltext based on their understandings of existing sources and translating articles which existon other Wikipedias. This combination of actors, approaches, and content has led tocomplex interactions between the (primarily Western) culture of the global Wikimediamovement, the mixed cultures of source articles, and the Indonesian/local cultures of theactors. This article argues that WPID has organically negotiated a compromise betweenthese at times conflicting cultural dynamics to create a hybrid source of information.Keywords: Crowdsourcing, knowledge production, knowledge reproduction, Wikipedia

Abstract

JacquesLacan’s poststructuralist theories of psychology have greatly affected modern understandings of the human psyche. This is evident in literary studies, where numerous thinkers – including Lacan himself – have applied these theories to better understand works of literature. One work which benefits from such an application is Ahmad Tohari’s Kubah, a 1982 novel on the ex-communist Karman’s seeming redemption after spending twelve years as a political prisoner. This paper will use a Lacanian psychoanalysis to show how Karman’s need to find wholeness, one which has been lost since before his birth, led to his various activities, including the joining of the Communist Party and his return to Islam. Although the novel ends on a hopeful note, it will be shown that Karman has not truly found the wholeness for which he has searched.

Abstract

Teori yang ditawarkan George Bluestone dalam buku Novels into Film (1957) terhitung salah satu teori yang sangat berpengaruh dalam kajian ekranisasi, baik di dalam dan luar negeri. Namun, teori tersebut sampai sekarang kurang banyak dibahas secara mendetail dalam bahasa Indonesia, sehingga penerapannya kerap kurang tepat. Karena itu, dalam artikel ini dijelaskan pokok-pokok teori ekranisasi Bluestone serta landasan filosofis dan implikasi metodologisnya. Bluestone berpendapat bahwa, dalam proses ekranisasi, tidak mungkin tidak ada perubahan, sebab perbedaan media novel (sebagai media bahasa) dan film (sebagai media plastik) menuntut adanya sejumlah perubahan lain, yang dapat digolongkan sebagai penambahan, penciutan, dan perubahan. Karena perbedaan media ini, tokoh dalam film hasil ekranisasi menjadi lebih sederhana, adegan ditambah, diubah, atau dihilangkan, dan simbol-simbol yang digunakan dalam bercerita pun mengalami transformasi. Karena itu, Bluestone berpendapat bahwa film hasil ekranisasi setepatnya dinilai sebagai film; membandingkan film dengan novel sama halnya dengan membandingkan hasil arsitektur dengan lagu.

Abstract

The first great dame of the Indonesian cinema, Roekiah, rose to fame just as the medium of film came into its own. Born in 1917, she, as with many of her contemporaries, had a background in stage and was renowned for her vocal abilities. Her first filmic role, in Albert Balink's Terang Boelan (1937), catapulted her to stardom. Over the next five years she appeared in a further eight films, first opposite Rd. Mochtar then Ismail Djoemala, becoming one of the colony's best-loved stars. In her personal life, Roekiah was married to Kartolo, and would often defer to him when speaking to reporters. The couple had five children. This paper examines how the damsel-in-distress roles played by Roekiah and her public persona as a demure and obedient wife positioned her between two ideals: the traditional woman and the modern woman. It argues that, by negotiating between these two ideals and emphasizing her traditional attributes, Roekiah was able to capitalize on the patriarchal society's views of women, thus enabling her to reach a level of success unattained by such contemporary actresses as Fifi Young, Hadidjah, and Ratna Asmara.DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/ijhs.2017.010102
