Abstract

It has been pointed out that modernity is marked by the disenchantment of the world. This means that modern human beings might no longer be easily enchanted by their natural/material and social environments. Their everyday life can thus be dull and boring. Under this condition, this paper inquires whether it is still possible to restore the richness of the everyday life as a cultural text. The author presents some major insights on the everyday from both philosophical approaches and cultural studies. These insights can shed light on the complexity, hibridity and messiness, but also the depth and richness of the everyday understood as a circulation of the affections of the humans. Everything in everyday life has some qualities of a poem, an image or a metaphor, a pleasant melody. Humanity turns to be enchanting because of its mortality, ambiguity and complexity in the everyday. The objects of the everyday do not need a special 'aesthetical appreciation' as the paintings in the museum. These objects must be seen as a place of encounter between the human affections and 'the thingly world' regarded as routine and ordinary. An aesthetic experience can be seen as a dynamism of proximetrics, that is, the intimacies with the material things we encounter in our day-to-day life.

Abstract

‘The Kingdom of God’ reflects a hidden truth that needs to be probed, disclosed and exposed to achieve its true meaning. It portrays significant as well as controversial theme in the Gospel and triggers multi interpretations. This paper investigates how philosophical hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur can be applied on the issue of religious truth of the Kingdom of God. The significance of Ricoeur's hermeneutics lies precisely in the process when interpretation is brought 'in front of text' involving the world of interpreters and the subjectivity of the readers, namely the urgency of Kingdom as a project of faith in contemporary world or, phenomenologically, the project that involves our being as being-in-the-world. The truth of the Kingdom of God is examined through the method of Ricoeur's hermeneutic circle following dynamical levels or moments of understanding: pre-critical, phenomenological-critical and existential-post-critical. The primacy of language in Ricoeur's hermeneutics places the power of linguistic re-description; it becomes crucial in correlating the Kingdom of God as text and event. Linguistic re-descriptive power helps articulate the so-called dimensions of impossible demand in biblical hermeneutics. It reflects the inexhaustability and irreducibility of the Kingdom's inspirational power both in linguistics itself and its expressions as an action.

Abstract

The scriptures of all the world religions are written with hidden meanings; this is to ensure that only the initiated, the adept and the ardent seeker of knowledge can understand the deeper meanings of the text and this is done through the utilization of proverbs, metaphors, anecdotes and parables, which the literature of Judeo-Christian theology refers to a “dark sayings.” This paper subjects the God-human covenant, which is metaphorically captured in Psalm 23, to critical analysis within the context of the essence of the relationship between God and human and how that covenants human attitudinally and behaviorally in his or her  interpersonal relationship in the human community including his sensitivity to the earth environment and other non-human occupants of the earth. The paper argues that it is this attitudinal and behavioral disposition of the individual to his relationship with his fellow human beings, his lower neighbors in the animal kingdom and the earth environment that determines the degree to which he lives in harmony with the Creator and, consequently, his transcendence and, therefore, ascent on the eternal journey towards oneness with God, the Good Shepherd. This, the paper emphasizes, has nothing whatsoever to do with the color, creed, station or location of the individual; it is purely a one-on-one relationship between God and every human being in creation.

Abstract

Bercerita (storytelling) membutuhkan teknik tersendiri agar pesan yang ingin disampaikan diterima dengan baik. Sang Sutradara, Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain), menggunakan teknik visual modern untuk menyampaikan pesan dalam film ini. Selama lebih dari dua jam kita akan disodori sebuah 'pesona visual.' Kecanggihan teknologi, para pemain yang memerankan bagian mereka dengan sangat baik, plot yang imajinatif, menjadikan film yang diangkat dari novel berjudul sama ini seperti sebuah petualangan Ulysses dalam dunia modern yang ditaburi tawa dan tangis, kecemasan dan kekaguman, kompleksitas dan kesederhanaan. Tapi, mari kembali ke film-itu-sendiri, pada cerita-itu-sendiri. Pesan apakah yang hendak diartikulasikan melalui film ini?

Abstract

One of the perspectives in evolution asserts that culture is also evolving like a biological evolution. When it concerns the biological evolution, the transmission unit is the gene. With regard to the evolution of culture, the transmission unit is the meme. The effort of doing analogy between the meme evolution and the gene evolution in this article is a methodological attempt to provide a further exploration for describing and apprehending the cultural phenomena. This article is at the same time an effort of applying a kind of politics of ontology to study the existence of memes in the study of culture. For this purpose, memetics has been pioneered as a scientific discipline that brings memes as the material object and as the formal object of Darwinian evolution. Critiques on the descriptive character of cultural evolution not necessarily turn to polemics for there is no strict differentiation between description and prescription. The evolution of culture that works in the Darwinian model is a different explanation as well as an alternative for the study of culture in general in an effort to apprehend the ontology of culture. The choice of Darwinian theory of evolution fills the principles of parsimony: simple and explaining.

Abstract

Women in patriarchal cultures have been treated unjustly. They are looked upon as second-class beings and even repeatedly not considered a whole human being. Their presence is regarded as something incidental and not essential. For this reason the article wants to put forward and to explore Nawal el Sa'adawi's ideas in her novel Woman at Point Zero. The novel portrays the struggle of a woman in a life full of oppressions by the patriarchal system and culture. Firdaus, the main character in the novel, is a picture of the lives of women who continue to serve as the number two beings in a patriarchal culture. In this article, the author uses feminist existentialist Simone de Beauvoir's point of view to analyze the novel. It appears that both Beauvoir and Sa'adawi have echoed some strategies towards a full freedom for women to be fully acknowledged of their existence and they provided further suggestions for women to be aware of their own capabilities as a whole human being and to be brave without being overshadowed by male superiority.
