Core Subject : Humanities, Art,
Cultural studies constitutes an interdisciplinary area critically discussing socio-political contexts of various cultural practices in society. Its focus is on the relation among such cultural practices and the power controlling them. Cultural studies was pioneered by the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) of the University of Birmingham, England, in 1960s. Unlike what has been a tradition in the modern epistemology, cultural studies is concerned with what human emancipation aims at. Therefore, cultural studies does not only refer to a theoretical-conceptual matter but also to the location and critical action in which it manifests itself.

Abstract

Disproving the ‘famous-for-being-famous’ epithet, Kim Kardashian shares the intricacy of the tricky and binding work of celebrity into the nascent screen-based culture, the mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood (KK: H). With swipes and taps to follow the in-game stories, the KK: H player discovers the set of rules and features of KK: H that welcome them to the digitalized version of aesthetic and glamour labors where the states of being fashionable, ageless and charming are matter. Through an analysis of in-game dominant discourse as well as the player’s game experience shown in Facebook public groups, this study explores the underlying values manifesting the practice of aesthetic and glamour labors as an engaging strategy of digital gameplay. The exploration falls into four stages of docility (Power, System, Surveillance, and Normalization) that built upon Michel Foucault’s theory of Docile Body to examine the gameplay as simulating the “real” constitutive social practice of celebrity that lead the examination to the case of Hyper-reality. The result of this examination places KK: H as the particular cultural representation as well as a seemingly playful parody of celebrity work wherein the pursuit of mass beauty standard is associated with the pursuit of fame in the interest of financial benefits and personal satisfaction. Keywords: Kim Kardashian, Aesthetic and Glamour Labors, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood (KK: H), Docile Body, Hyper-reality.

Abstract

The practice of developing minimalist residential design in South Kuta is increasingly being accepted massively in Balinese society. The residential design carries the values ??of modernity and is independent of the environmental context and values ??of Balinese culture. Its physical appearance is geometric, simple, clean and without ornamentation. The minimalist residential development and acceptance is contrary to the Bali Provincial Regulation No. 05 of 2005 concerning Architectural Buildings which require all buildings including residential buildings to display Balinese style. Massive acceptance of this residence has implications in the dimensions of Balinese environmental, social and cultural identity. The research objective is to uncover the ideology behind developing and accepting minimalist housing in South Kuta; and reveal its implications for Balinese culture. For this purpose, the research approach used is the Cultural Studies and Design Studies approach. The type of data collected is qualitative data which is then analyzed by interpretive qualitative analysis methods. To understand and interpret data, deconstruction theory, semiotics and identity theory are used. The results of the study revealed that there are three ideologies behind developing and accepting minimalist occupancy in the middle of South Kuta society are capitalist, materialistic and functional-rationalist ideologies. The implication of the receipt of this residence in the community is the chaos of traditional residential values ??and deprivation of Balinese identity. Keywords: Ideology, minimalist architecture, functionalism-rationalism.

Abstract

This study traces the works of the great folk painter Theophilos Hadjimichael of Lesvos, guided by the lights of history, literature, tradition, art and culture, especially in those paintings which place their source of inspiration in the epic poetry of Homer. A story teller grandfather, a “magician”, who "knew how to use words to narrate and plain boards of wood to produce icons of saints", becomes the origin where literature’s experimental approach takes flesh and blood in order to create masterpieces. These works of art had themes taken from grandfather’s stories which allowed the child's mind to imagine heroes, fights and controversies. All these were later imprinted on the canvas of the popular painter. The association of Theophilos with the great epic poet Homer, outlines a tour in places, spaces, verses and paintings starting with the child's experiences, hearings and readings. The main purpose of the suggested tour being to prove the power of the pragmatic experience and to show an imaginary and scientific connection and correlation in the work of the two creators. The themes in several Theophilos' paintings and the verses and intertextual events of the ancient poet seem to be relevant. The testimonies of the personal behavior and social appearance of the unconventional painter reinforce this hypothesis. Keywords: Experimential Approaches, Poet Homer, Painter Theophilos.

Abstract

Lumbung or granary is a building that serves as a place to store rice. In some houses in the Sading Traditional Village, the granary is one of the buildings which is generally located near the kitchen. However, at present, this granary in Sading Traditional Village has changed its function and architecture as part of the dynamics of modern life. Seeing this condition, it is necessary to conduct research on the architecture of the barn in Sading Traditional Village. The purpose of this study was to determine the form of change, the causes and meanings contained in the phenomenon of changing the function and architecture of the granary in Balinese houses in Sading Traditional Village. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with the perspective of cultural studies. The results showed that there was a change in the function of the barn which was previously only a place to store rice, but now the function of storing rice is only as a symbol, while other functions are mostly used as a multipurpose room such as a place to entertain guests during religious ceremonies, a place to relax and other activities. While the architectural changes lie in the materials, decorations and others that follow current developments. The main cause is the livelihoods of the people of the Adat Sading Village who no longer work as farmers. Besides that, it is due to ideological factors and beliefs, economics and the development of science and technology. The meanings contained in these changes include religious, aesthetic, image and cultural preservation. Keywords: Change, Function, Architecture, Granary, meaning

Abstract

The swift flow of development and the demands of globalization seemed to be the destroyer of colonial buildings in Singaraja City, so that its existence was increasingly marginalized. This phenomenon is a serious problem because it can have implications for the existence of colonial buildings which are a reflection of historical events. The purpose of this study was to determine the forms and backgrounds of marginalization, as well as the implications of the alienation of colonial buildings in Singaraja City. The method of data collection is done by observation, interviews, and literature study. The theories used in this research are the theory of power relations, hegemony theory, and deconstruction theory. The results showed that the form of marginalization of colonial buildings, namely unfair treatment by the government and the community in the form of monasticism of the condition of buildings that were damaged, both minor, moderate or severe damage, even many of which were demolished were replaced by new buildings with other uses. Although, there are things that are tried to be repaired, but they are patchy so that it looks shabby and removes its authenticity. Factors leading to marginalization include the development of urban communities, the indifference of local governments, and the insistence of global capitalist interests. This condition is related to the practice of power and hegemony which is very strong in the people's mindset, that it seems as if there are no victims. This then has implications, namely the loss of historical evidence, urban identity, and the diminishing love of the younger generation for the importance of cultural heritage. Keywords: colonial buildings, marginalized, power, hegemony, capitalists, city identity
