Abstract

One of the most prominent and haunting cultural phenomenain our times is 'fundamentalism'. Its prominence, complexityand negative impacts render fundamentalism worth revisiting.Beyond its definitions, forms and enigmas, the existence offundamentalism compels us to reflect on some significantaspects of our age. I assume that fundamentalism is not athrowback to a tradition, but that it is in a dialectic relationshipwith modernity. I stress, therefore, the points of convergencebetween fundamentalism and modernity. The overlappingparadigms of fundamentalism and modernity are exploredthrough a socio-cultural and philosophical approach. Throughan elaboration of the function of fundamentalism as a culturalopposition, the paper concludes with a postmodernistapproach toward a new sensibility for 'difference and diversity'.

Abstract

'Tradition' is a contradictory concept with strong ideological burdens. On the one hand, the concept strongly connotes 'repetition', 'fixity' and 'changelessness'; on the other hand, it is diametrically opposed to the concept of 'change', 'dynamism' and 'transformation'. As a form of repetition, tradition is seen as an opposite of change, because it only repeats what 'has been'. However, through a comprehensive interpretation of the concept, it can be argued that the concept of tradition can connote both 'repetition' and 'change'. As a form of repetition, tradition is not totally separated from and immune to a particular pace of change,  innovation or even transformation. This is because there is not only a  'static repetition', but also a 'dynamic repetition' that produces change and difference. Here, I want to stress a 'transformation of tradition'. There are several ways through which a tradition can be  transformed: 1)  reinterpretation of particular forms of tradition; 2) transaesthetics discourse as a dialogues between tradition and other cultures; 3) cultural exchange as a complex process of exchange and selection; 4) critical openness as an inclusive attitude to external cultures; and 5) knowledge differentiation as the enhancement of knowledge of a tradition.

Abstract

Philosophical and theological reflections claim evil as thebinary opposite of the good. This way of thinking cannotunderstand the evil of terror. To understand the nature of evilwe need a poetic way of thinking. A poetic way of thinking goesbeyond the binary of good and evil. Dostoyevsky locates evilwithin us contingent and finite human beings. Only byacknowledging this we can gain freedom to act and create.

Abstract

The self and the city interrelate; both the self and the city arereflexive projects. Moreover, these reflexive projects aredialectally interrelated. Identity is not expressed in actions but(per-)formed through actions. Performativity entails a dialogue,with others and with the urban environment. The meaning ofthe self is public and shown in its created forms: the city.Knowledge is grounded not in theory but in practice, i.e.knowledge of the city is shown in social practices, styles andforms. The unforeseen and unwanted consequences of theurban risk society cause anxiety, which in turn causessegregation, exclusion and architecture of fear. To overcomethis, we citoyens need creativity as a virtue; the density of amegalopolis could also lead to an innovative attitude, hence theexperiences of the creative communities in Bandung.

Abstract

After comparatively analizing Rerum Novarum and Octogesima Adveniens, this paper examines how the historical context of the documents has influenced the Catholic Church's stance on the role of women in public life. Leo XIII, in his encyclical Rerum Novarum, despite his denouncement of inhuman situations of the working class under capitalistic system, gave little attention to the unjust and inhuman situations endured by women. He still held the view that women are primarily destined to do domestic works and not to involve themselves in public areas. Paul VI in his Octogesima Adveniens gave better role to women in society. He promoted the principle of equal opportunities among men and women in social, economic, politic and cultural activities. The research shows that the sensibility of the Catholic Church  towards the real problems of injustice does grow along with the sign of the Times and with the changes of contexts.

Abstract

The post-Suharto period was expected to establish Indonesiaas a democracy, committed to equality between citizens andhuman rights, but respect for women's equal rights, for examplethe freedom to terminate a pregnancy, freedom of expression,freedom from polygamy, has not occurred. Indonesia hasenjoyed some expanded political liberties, but the civil libertiesof the Indonesian people are not protected. Why hasdemocracy failed to deliver civil liberties in Indonesia despite itssuccess in opening up political liberties? Why has democracystrengthened the ties between the government and dominantreligious institutions? These are the questions I address. In thecase of Indonesia, the transition to democracy has notnecessarily led to the liberalization concerning laws on genderand freedom of the individual. In fact it has led to the opposite.This is true in the case of women's sexual liberation, which iscondemned and restricted both by the democratic electedgovernment and the dominant religious institutions.
