Abstract

The problem of temporality in photography has invoked a continuous debate concerning the artistic nature of this medium. Previously taken as a different way of seeing, the time signature in a photograph became debatable along with the development of digital photography. Photography’s status as the undisputed evidence of the truth is then no longer relevant. This changes the flow of discourse to a more philosophical one. However, the debate does not provide adequate defence concerning the role of photography in the digital era. The Platonic dualistic approach, especially the Cartesian one, is responsible for this regress. Immanuel Kant introduces transcendental causality to re-examine the Cartesian legacy. This Kantian approach needs to be developed further. Stephen Hawking’s cosmological model of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) working in anti-de Sitter space (ADs) offers a better explanation on this Kantian transcendentalism. The research shows that the non-temporality of photographic images is irrelevant with the development of the medium because Hawking’s approach fits the transcendental interaction proposed by Kant. This article concludes that photography is independent from temporal demands, and that the advancement of photography lies in its potential to pursue non-duality interactions.

Abstract

Every action within the economic policy framework must refer to three main principles, namely growth, social balance and sustainability. These three principles have direct political content. In the context of a state, the study of economic problems cannot be separated from its relationship with politics and government. Meanwhile, each leader, whether executive, legislative or judicial, is an individual with a different character. In this article, the author offers an interpretation and analysis of Amartya Sen’s thoughts regarding how reason should stem the urge to lust. Sen believes that every policy will be correct if it has undergone critical rational testing. Problems such as poverty, hunger, injustice and social inequality have not been resolved because policy makers are still trapped in the prison of strong desires. As a result, they tend to make policies that actually worsen poverty conditions. Therefore, through social assistance policies, people are led to no longer question injustice, but to do what the authorities want.

Abstract

Theodor W. Adorno, a prominent thinker in the Frankfurt School, articulated his views on jazz music. He considered jazz music to be ‘functional’ music (Gebrauchsmusik) serving the bourgeois class in the post-war period. Furthermore, Adorno observed that the spontaneity in jazz music was a myth as it originated from the 32-bar song patterns akin to Broadway tunes. Through improvisation, jazz music created an illusion of uniqueness in its ‘products’ by emphasizing a distinctive style of performance. However, Adorno argued that improvisation, inadvertently, was constructed within similar constraints across various musical compositions. Additionally, in another accusation, Adorno regarded blue notes in jazz music performance as an error that one attempts to correct within their own auditory perception. Conversely, Adorno extolled music containing Arnold Schoenberg’s twelve-tone technique as autonomous art capable of social critique through internal logic within the music itself. This article seeks to pinpoint Adorno’s fallacies in his critique of jazz music, based on his failure to formulate the ontological aspects of jazz music which rigidly adhere to canonical forms, his inability to situate the potential of jazz music within autonomous art, and the distortions stemming from stereotypes about jazz music prevalent in his time.

Abstract

Jürgen Habermas is a second generation Frankfurt critical theory thinker who offers a new paradigm of critical theory, namely communication. He made an important contribution to the democratic life of complex and pluralistic contemporary society through his theory of communicative action. It offers a procedure for communicating through rational discourse to reach an intersubjective agreement. In a modern democratic country, public space becomes a forum where public opinions and aspirations are conveyed through rational argumentation as a form of control by citizens over the government. This public space is independent and free from state or market control. This article is an analysis of social media and its potential role as a public space, using Habermas’ theoretical framework. Social media has the potential to become a political public space because of its participatory character. Even though implementing social media as a public space is still difficult, social media still has a big influence on democracy and social change. Therefore, social media users need to have and develop their social media literacy which is based on the principles of solidarity, criticality and caution.

Abstract

Modern culture, which began to develop since the 18th century, became a catalyst for the growth of information technology systems, especially the internet, which has now reached the Web 3.0 or Web3 level. At this level, the internet becomes a decentralised space when users have complete autonomy and control over the data they share consensually. However, because it is a force steeped in exploitative and manipulative agendas, Web3 is potentially vulnerable to commodity fetishism and perhaps even a return to forms of domination through capital accumulation. As a result, elements in Web3 that were promoted as resistance to internet privatization have instead become opportunities for exploitative parties to accumulate wealth. This article delves deeper into how Web3 shows the tension between dominant currents and resistance to global multinational power systems. In this context, the authors use Antonio Negri’s perspective in Empire and Multitude to investigate the complex dynamics that occur. By understanding how Web3 interacts with dominant forces and their resistance, one can explore the potential and challenges faced in positioning the development of the internet towards a more inclusive and equitable realm.

From the Particular to the Beyond: Christian Educator’s Identity Reimagined Philips, Gerardette

Abstract

One may not have answers to questions regarding identity solely by looking at one’s own self while neglecting its connection to others. Against the background of the more intricate world of today, it is necessary that a spiritual reflection on identity should begin by looking inward, that is, into what is particular in one’s self wherein one can find a connection to God, the Creator who created human beings in his image. This religious truth can manifest through various paths, especially through the particular role of a Christian educator. This article goes through this process of recognising identity in oneself that can move a person beyond personal identity towards relational identity: an awareness of being connected to the whole creation. Only when one has undergone this can one perform the act of crossing borders without doing away with one’s own identity. This article presents a perspective of how identity can be understood differently today.

Abstract

In the Scriptures, Judith emerges as a prominent heroine of Israel, demonstrating her strength and intelligence to liberate her people from the grasp of oppression. On the other hand, Mary, Jesus’ mother, is revered as the Mother of God, who, through profound humility and obedience, embraces her pivotal role in the narrative of humanity’s redemption. This article aims to explore the significant parallels between these two remarkable figures, highlighting how they embody feminine qualities such as courage, intelligence, fidelity, and humility. These traits enable them to serve as divine instruments in the fulfillment of God’s salvific plan. Utilizing exegetical methods and theological reflections, the author emphasizes how Judith and Mary exemplify an active essence of femininity that transcends the patriarchal limitations traditionally placed on women’s roles in religious narratives. Both figures are positioned not merely as recipients of salvation but as active agents engaging in the divine work of salvation. This analysis can provide fresh insights into the contributions of women throughout the history of salvation and underscores their relevance in the ongoing struggles for liberation in contemporary contexts.

Abstract

In Quetta, the capital of Balochistan Province in Pakistan, numerous conflicts persist, driven by ethnic-religious tensions and the dissatisfaction of Baloch Muslims over perceived injustices. To address these issues, we employ a library research method in the form of autoethnography, drawing on personal experience to describe and interpret texts, events, beliefs, and cultural practices. In this way, we incorporate our years of apostolic work in Quetta. We apply Anthony Giddens’ theoretical framework of the Duality of Structure, which explores how social structures are formed through interactions among various social groups that extend beyond physical and temporal boundaries. Our findings reveal that the conflict in Quetta is highly complex, involving political, social, economic, and cultural issues, and not merely a matter of religion. At this stage, politics related to ethnic identity has resulted in specific theological consequences. We believe that a viable response involves initiating dialogue between conflicting groups through political negotiations aimed at reaching mutual agreement, supported by humanitarian efforts for the common good. This praxis can be implemented through the field of education. Drawing inspiration from Lian Gogali, who fostered reconciliation during the ethnic-religious conflict in Poso by establishing a public library, the Vicariate of Quetta Apostolic could consider promoting character-building initiatives for children, emphasising local wisdom rooted in cultural folktales.
