Abstract

The music of Santana, arguably, magnificently embodies thevirtuosity and raw creativity of the sixties, seventies and eighties,the “cool” of the nineties and twenties and the oneness andspiritual essence of the human race. It has therefore demonstratedthe resilient capacity for continually reaching and sensitivelytouching successive generations of fans of multicultural extractionwith passionate musical idioms, which are a fusion ofrock, jazz, blues, soul and Latin and, therefore, serving a musicalmenu of multicultural melodic phraseology that is as unique as itis instantly identifiable, globally. From the sixties to the presentand utilizing personnel from variegated cultural and genre setting,Santana's music has become an event of global culture,transcending genre, crossing national boundaries and culturesand creating music that has emerged the soundtrack for the world.The paper subjects the works of Carlos Santana to critical analysis26.1.2010 [01-16]1covering the musical idioms and lyrical idiomatic expressions fromthe perspective of the universalism of his lyricism and opines thatthere is a religio-philosophical stream of thoughts that runsthrough his albums over a timeframe of more than three decades,from Santana I (1969) to Shaman (2002) from which “Novus” istaken. The paper opines that “Novus,” a song that suavelycombines canal love and the eternity of Divine Love, is the magnumopus of Santana's musical ministrations and mission in which he hasconsistently advocated harmony in humanity from the perspectiveof Mayan philosophies and shamanism. Same as his other workswith spiritual essence, “Novus,” transcends religion and touchesthe human spirit irrespective of color or creed, station or location.“Novus,” the paper concludes, is vintage Carlos Santana—themultidimensional spirit; it represents the quintessence of the man;it is his magnum opus and, therefore, valedictory.

Abstract

We have reams of ideas about the church. We like to talk aboutthem, amazed by their resourcefullness. But these are ideas. When itis the ideas that are touched upon, the actors on the stage are not theordinary people. They are intellectuals; indeed, theologians. It is achurch-talk. However, when it comes down to the faithful, thechurch becomes churches. The ideas become images. The talkbecomes imagining. For Christians in Java, togetherness in thecircles of friends and families has always been an everydayness.And in this togetherness, what is spoken about is not the idea, butfirst of all the 'image' of a familial community. These people have alot of time to share how they can live their lives at each moment.They are not very much 'systematic' in their way of sharingexperiences, and they do not want to complicate things, for theyalready think that things have always been complicated enough inlife. Their simple hopes and concerns are always oriented towardsthe harmony of their community life. They imagine, interpret andevaluate many things, so as to find the relatedness of realities intheir togetherness. In this sense, this paper wants to capture thosemarvelous moments driven by the believers' imagination on the epistemological level of the believers' experience.

Abstract

The idea of silence as experience and timely is unique because silence is healing and is essential for the time in which we live. The life and facts as lived by the vachana mystics and expressed in their songs and writings can help people of today dive deeper into their life’s mission. This expression of self-mystification has marked the different and distinctive angle of our symbolic world, i.e., its mystical space, and has promoted some concrete movements aimed at transformasion in the life’s mission of the people. Before being intellectual and cultural, the revolution might have been mystical thanks to the vachana mystics who are able to provoke discussions and debates about important issues in human’s life by broadening the life’s canvas and calling the devotees to cross the boundaries of space and time. In turn, we will be led towards the writing of the history of silence as the liberating perception of space.

Abstract

As the epoch of space confronts us with its multiplicity of networks, a new architectonics of space has begun to raise its own construction. Foucault’s terminology of utopia and heterotopia has covered the delineation of the other spaces, spaces which invert, mirror, suspend, and neutralize the real spaces of society. With the propagation of moving images into the space of our daily life, every space at any given moment can turn into an image of utopia as well as a construction of heterotopia. As Foucault says, now is the epoch of space, now is the time to re-value and re-define the contemporary space we live in.

Abstract

A relation can be mapped between religion and cinema. More than a superficial discourse, this relation appears as an intercultural dialogue, a kind of reflective and critical dialogue. At the end of the ongoing conversation we eventually can hope that religion, as well as cinema, may remain as a quest and construction of meanings rooted in the day-to-day life, which is supposed to be very normal without being banal, vulgar without being filthy.

Abstract

In the information-saturated culture today identity of the self is getting blurred and pulverized. The situation is disorienting and calling into question the concept of ‘identity’, ‘selfhood’, ‘subject’ or ‘authenticity’. Despite various kinds of method of ‘self-mastery’, the self remains elusive, even more than ever before. This article discusses the problem of ‘self’, not in terms of its ‘essence’, but rather in terms of what s/he does in the practice of the self. Identity is something constructed by the act of searching for meaning. Through ‘moral imagination’, the search for meaning becomes moral responses toward events of humanity. Self is the subject of history that actualizes him/herself through the history of humanity.
Art of Living as a Tragic Fate: An autobiographical reading of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Ecce Homo Voragen, Roy

Abstract

Writing, for Nietzsche, is a very personal endeavor. Nietzsche became Nietzsche through the acts of writing, reading what he has written and re-writing. For a decade or so I have struggled with Nietzsche; I read his books, I wrote essays and I taught on Nietzsche. In this essay I try to answer a personal question: what does reading his books and writing and teaching on Nietzsche mean for who I am today? The second question this essay deals with is how my experiences with Nietzsche’s work influence my view of art. Art is in this essay understood in two ways: first and foremost as the art of living, i.e. how to become what one is, and in the final part of the essay in the narrow sense, i.e. the fine arts.

Abstract

The computer will become more and more influential as a mediator between man and his environment, due to its evolution as a device and increasing ubiquity. A growing number of people will own a personal computer or computer-like devices, such as cell phones, even though a ‘digital divide’ will continue to exist, separating social groups within societies. To denote a computer-mediated environment, the term non-space is proposed, derived from Vilém Flusser’s non-things which basically refers to computer-programs. Non-space is relative, fluid, non-material and non-locatable. Spatial metaphors, still used in present-day computer-interfaces, are inherently deficient and will be replaced by a more direct and intimate interaction with the computer. Life in non-space is essentially provisional, which causes a new existential anxiety. In the not so distant future, large portion of humanity will end up living their lives in ‘augmented reality’, a hybrid of the real world and non-space.

Abstract

Driven by his method of correlation, Paul Tillich critically analyzes the social condition of modern society which is characterized by the growing hegemony of capitalism. Capitalism is viewed not simply as a certain economic arrangement of society but as the embodiment of the religion of reason, namely, the historical project of humanity to realize its utopian goals and longings by the power of science and technology alone. However, by forgetting the awareness of the inherent finitude of reason cultivated by a genuine religious consciousness, mankind is threatened to lose sight of the demonic dimension built-in structurally in the capitalist mode of wealth creation.
