Abstract

Art film is a film full of symbols. The film Setan Jawa by Garin Nugroho (2016) brings the concept of a silent film and the cinematic-orchestral collaboration with various standards across arts, while also adapts some cultural narratives in the Javanese context. This film presents Drupadi narrative, one of the Javanese Wayang cultural narratives. Drupadi is often referred to as a symbol of women’s loyalty and obedience to the universal law, through her obedience to her husband and mother, although this obedience is contrary to the self (I) concept. With the help of textual analysis, this article aims to identify the adaptation of Drupadi’s cultural narrative that is creatively transposed in the film Setan Jawa. The results show that there is a director’s personal code (idiolect) in the film, that offers women’ representation different from the conventions in the Javanese culture. While the conclusion might be arguable, one can reflect on the symbolic act of women’s representation being creatively transposed not as subordinate but as having the power to fulfill their own destiny.

Abstract

Religion has often been defined as a response to the sacred. However, this also means that religion is considered meaningful if only one has an idea of the sacred. The problem surfaces when religion seems to be dominated with its brutal and savage face. In these tendencies, any criticism addressed to religion or any suggestion for the sake of changing views about religion will never be considered meaningful or taken into account if the believers do not touch the issue of the sacred at all. This article invites its readers to explore and to reimagine the idea of the sacred and at the same time offers different and imaginative perspectives in the light of Richard Kearney’s concept of anatheism. Humans do not need to separate the sacred from the so-called sensus numinis, not only because they can become and move towards the sacred, but because their lives, bodies, minds, and actions are esentially sacred.

Abstract

Internet and cyberspace are now loaded with various forms of violent material. Violence tends to be contagious and could be easily imitated by someone, since humans are naturally mimetic creatures. This situation may create serious problems such as desensitization, mimetics of violence, banality of violence, and justification of the acts of violence. Violence is continuously replicated and imitated both in the cyberspace and in the day-to-day reality. Even now violence is rapidly widespread in various forms and is increasingly difficult to contain. René Girard, with his theory of mimetics, tries to dismantle the mimetic mechanism that has been rooted in the acts of violence. Religion, culture, education, and the state seem not able to provide alternative ways to respond to this situation. By way of exploring Girard’s critical ideas, this article attempts to offer some alternatives to respond to the situation of violence in the cyberspace and the internet. The mimetic spiral of violence could be terminated when humans become more critical and creative as “positive imitators”.

Abstract

While earth has been a living place for human beings, ecology crisis results from the speeding of human civilisation with its sudden jumps on science and technology. This crisis has caused damages in climate changes, global warming, and nature destructions. In spite of the changes in human behaviour, ecological crisis is also caused by epistemological crisis. Mechanistic paradigm leads humans to classify nature based on their own preferences. At the same time, positioning humans over nature brings humans’ hegemony. This article offers Gregory Bateson’s epistemological ideas to understand the unity between human beings and nature. Systemic paradigm can be used to sense nature as oneness of system that leads to the concept of sacrality of the earth. The concept of a sacred earth brings forth a systemic paradigm that shows nature as united with humans. Understanding sacrality as an intrinsic value of nature is a good epistemological start to maintain the ecological sustainability.

Abstract

Throughout their lives, human beings have been shadowed with existential queries such as “What is my purpose?” and “How should I reach that purpose?” These big questions arise in accordance with an assumption that a good life must be a purposeful life. However, the same questions often lead to dilemmatic disposition of following my own goal or following other ideals designed by institutions or even theories. This article elaborates humans’ tendencies to perceive themselves as a fixated part of and to lean their purpose of life on the so-called grand narratives. One of the narratives shows that humans’ purpose in life is rooted in the understanding of humans’ essence. Humans’ essence is here viewed in two aspects, that is, the ‘centered’ self and the ‘decentered’ self. However, these two aspects are not without consequences. The centered self understood in the light of Aristotle and Kant holds a bigger possibility of ignoring historical and cultural values which basically play the pivotal parts of a human being’s constitution. On the other hand, the decentered self understood in the light of Richard Rorty tends to heavily impact the clarity of the path the self along with its purposes. This article attempts to unfold the problems around human being’s ‘center’ and their implications to the concept of self.
