Settlement arrangement in Jakarta is refer to the concept of global development context began in the 1900s with the Menteng and New Gondangdia projects at the first. After independence, the expansion of residential land extended to Kebayoran and Tebet, resulting a lesser land for housing development. The existence of kampungs in Jakarta is increasingly shifted by the development of housing complexes. And the impact of increasing urbanization has led to the development of slum areas in Jakarta, thereby putting pressure on the government to provide vertical population services. The DKI Jakarta government then compiled a development strategy to remove slum area in 445 RWs recorded in 2017 through the Priority Kampung development program, one of which was the construction of the Kampung Susun Bahari Akuarium (KSBA) in Penjaringan, North Jakarta. This theme study is a development of an existing study and examines two aspects, namely the aspect of social change in society in terms of urban village culture and changes in occupancy from horizontal housing to vertical housing for people in urban areas with a tropical tropical atmosphere. This study uses a multidisciplinary historical approach by tracing colonial period map documents, mass media news, government policies and past literature searches.

Sex and women are always interesting to talk about due to their mysterious nature. Discussion on the topic will get more interesting when it is related to illegal practice done by spiritual figures who look for the position of insan kamil or perfect human being. Such kind of depiction is found in popular stories that live among Bugis and Makassar people, known as Paupaunna Séheq Maradang in Bugis tradition, and Paupaunna Séhu Maradang in Makassar tradition. The script was originally transformed from Javanese to Malay and spread to Nusantara languages including, Bugese and Makassarese. Both versions of this text have been used as a tool of da'wah because the core of this story is the spiritual journey of a prince named Sheikh Mardan in perfecting his religious knowledge. Inhis spiritual journey, he always met a woman (the king's daughter) and married her. There are some differences between the Bugese language version and the Makassarese language version. That difference will be revealed in this study and followed by explanation of their differences. To sharpen the analysis, comparative literary theory is used. The output of this study is controversy related to illegal sex has been addressed differently by people through both versions. The Makassarese version allows the narrative of free sex performed by the main character with the two princesses he first met, while the Bugese language version seeks a way out by inner marriage.

This paper discusses two museums that deliberately adopt the concept of “Peranakan” as part of their identities, namely the Museum Pustaka Peranakan Tionghoa, or the Peranakan Chinese Literature Museum (2012), and the Museum Benteng Heritage (November 11, 2011). Both are located in South Tangerang (ca.10 km from Jakarta). The term “Peranakan” indicates a mélange of identities for the Indonesian and Chinese. A closer examination of the Chinese in Indonesia reveals that during the New Order regime, the Indonesian Peranakan Chinese underwent a “repression” taking the form of various political policies and laws limiting their public roles, even attaching negative stigmas to the Chinese identity. The void space in state museums could be filled by these museums, which would demonstrate the endeavor to develop a fairer concept of nationhood. This paper is not intended to provide any solution to the current problem underlying the establishment of the museums. Rather, it is meant to explain the process that takes place when the identity of an ethnic group is questioned and politicized.

"De Oost" is a film directed by Jim Taihuttu, a Netherlandsman of Ambon descent, which tells the story of the Westerling Tragedy. Its launch sparked controversy from former Netherlands East Indies veterans to Raymond Westerling's daughter because it was considered to distort facts and not fit Westerling's description. This controversy raises the problem of how Jim Taihuttu represents Westerling through the character de Turk. This research is intended so that readers can assess Jim Taihuttu's depiction of Westerling through the character de Turk and determine the suitability of the film with reality. The research method used is qualitative using the note-taking technique, by applying identity theory by Erick Erikson (1968) to find out the director's background and representation theory by Stuart Hall (1995) to examine Westerling's representation in films. This research resulted in the answer that Jim Taihuttu was quite objective in depicting Westerling by representing nicknames, life, and cruelty, but also balanced by de Turk's friendly nature towards his soldiers. The representation of the character de Turk by Jim Taihuttu's "De Oost" indirectly illustrates how the new generation of Netherlands views Raymond Westerling in a more objective way.

Chaos theory explicates how small things can result in big differences. Its basic principles can provide an alternative means for literary and non-literary interpretations. This study will explore how the principles of chaos theory can be utilized, together with commonly used literary theories, as an analytic lens to analyze the dramatic text of Shakespeare. The argument is built upon how Macbeth, viewed as a complex and chaotic system, become a strange attractor for both theater performances and cinematic adaptations, in an effort to understand the interconnection between the play and its reproductions as complex networks. Various elements of the text will be discussed, including its structure, language expressions and character patterning, as well as the choices of action – reaction determined to be taken by the characters in the play.
