Abstract

This research paper explores the theme of desire and disability in director Shonali Bose’s film Margarita with a Straw. Through a close analysis of the film, the paper proposes to examine how the protagonist, Laila, a young woman with cerebral palsy, navigates her desires and relationships while dealing with the challenges posed by her disability. It is my contention that the film challenges the dominant narrative of disability as asexuality and incapable of experiencing love or sexual desire while portraying Laila's sexuality and desire as a normal and important part of her life. Additionally, the paper examines how Laila's intersectional identity as a disabled, bisexual woman complicates her desires and relationships. The film emphasises the value of recognising and addressing the sexuality and needs of handicapped people via Laila's character. Ultimately, the paper argues that Margarita with a Straw offers a nuanced and empowering portrayal of disability and desire that challenges ableist and heteronormative assumptions about sexuality and relationships. Overall, this study seeks to add to the expanding body of knowledge about the relationship between disability and sexuality and emphasises the need for change in the portrayal of disability in mainstream media.

Abstract

An understanding of the importance of regulating investment treaties and implementing measures in accordance with existing rules has been generally understood by States in foreign direct investment. However, the local government where the location of foreign investment activities is carried out has not received sufficient attention. As a result, various cases of international investment disputes have arisen caused by actions taken by local governments. This study discusses how the tribunal views and interprets actions taken by local governments in relation to violations of foreign investor rights. In the span of time over the past eight years, no less than six hundred cases of foreign investment disputes have been investigated. Of these, three available and final cases became the subject of discussion in research and became examples to link them with the legal skills of local government officials in mitigating the occurrence of foreign investment case disputes. The results of this study show that in terms of understanding the rules of international investment law, the government in the country can mitigate or handle the case better with foreign investment disputes.

Abstract

This paper explores the transformation of the traditional family system in Japanese society, known as the IE system, to a modern family structure influenced by Western ideologies. Historically, the Japanese state was conceptualized as a family state or kazokukokka, with the emperor as the head of the family, as seen in the Meiji Constitution. However, after Japan's defeat in World War II, the allied governments abolished this system, leading to gradual changes in the societal structure. The objective of this research is to investigate how Japanese people have adapted their family system from the traditional IE system to a modern one. The study utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, employing field research reports and literature related to the contemporary Japanese family system. Data was collected and analyzed using descriptive methods to draw conclusions. The findings of the research highlight that while the IE system was officially removed from the Japanese Constitution, its influence persists in certain aspects of modern Japanese society. Scholars widely agree that remnants of the traditional family system still endure due to the lack of a viable replacement. Eradicating a deeply rooted cultural tradition developed over centuries proves to be a challenging task. This study sheds light on the coexistence of traditional and modern elements within the Japanese family system, presenting a nuanced understanding of how the IE system continues to partially shape family dynamics in contemporary Japanese society.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the profound philosophy of life held by the Mandailing ethnic group in maintaining the relationship between humans and the environment from a cultural ecological perspective. Employing an ethnohistorical approach, this research analyzes and synthesizes relevant ethnographic literature along with field research data. The focus of this study is on the philosophies "Poda Na Lima" and "Holong do Maroban Domu, Domu Maroban Parsaulian" as locally inherited wisdom passed down through generations by the Mandailing ethnic group to foster a harmonious relationship with nature. Key figures such as village chiefs, traditional leaders, religious figures, and community elders from Mandailing Natal Regency serve as research subjects and informants. The research findings conclude that "Poda Na Lima" and "Holong do Maroban Domu, Domu Maroban Parsaulian" impart local wisdom values such as compassion, cleanliness, and health in maintaining the harmonization of the relationship between humans and nature. These philosophies continue to be inherited and practiced in the daily lives of the Mandailing community, particularly among agrarian populations in rural areas. In practice, nature is positioned as a source of wisdom, not an object of exploitation, and is internalized to preserve ecological balance.

Abstract

Local democracy in the village is essentially based on these rights of origin and traditional rights. This paper aims to discuss the problems of villages in exercising their rights of origin in Indonesia. To understand how these rights of origin are implemented, this article refers to the practice of Nagari as a customary legal community unit in West Sumatra Province. Not only that, enrichment related to implementing rights of origin also refers to Desa Pakraman in Bali Province. This article uses a literature study derived from documents that have been published from various sources such as articles in scientific journal, mass media news, and official government documents. This article finds that problems in the application of origin and traditional village rights arise because of strict government regulations that encourage village governments to focus on carrying out governance functions in their area. Using the principles of recognition and subsidiarity in the administration of village government results in an attitude of ambiguity in the administration of village government. As a result, the village government prefers to implement the household authority handed over to it accompanied by a budget through Village Fund transfers rather than developing the original rights that have become the identity of pre-existing local democracy.

Abstract

Fansubs are very popular these days in China because of the general public's expanding cultural need. However, the behavior of producing fansubs constitutes a violation of copyright law in essence both in China and in the world since all the audiovisual materials translated and distributed in China have not obtained authorization from copyright owners of foreign movies and television shows. The aim of this study is to explore the reasons why fansub groups in China would keep distributing foreign films and TV shows online with subtitles translated by them despite concern over piracy and copyright. This paper would adopt a method of qualitative research with a focus on content-analysis by observing and analyzing highly relevant discussions on Zhihu, Weibo and Douban, which are Chinese online platforms where users can engage in discussions on various topics. Based on observation and analysis, the paper would discuss the phenomenon of fansubbing in terms of three aspects: awareness of copyright infringement, intrinsic motivation for participation and material considerations. By examining the reasons for fansubber participation and the operation mechanism for this practice situated in a copyright environment, the paper hopes to come up with possible suggestions for protecting the intrinsic motivation for fansubbers while enhancing legal justice, order of the market and creativity of the society.
