Linguistic, Historical and Literary Parallels of Folk Meta-proverbs (In the Footsteps of Georgian Folklore)

Proverbs belong to a small folklore (also literary) genre, which use laconic oral expressions. Proverbs describing the reality in a figurative manner reflect the perception of any language and the nation. There are many proverbs in Georgian folklore. They are thematically diverse and are the treasury of pearls of folklore. Originally the figurative expression of thought was immensely powerful as the means of imagery thought. We have unique collection of oral heritage that has survived from Sumerians, Akkadians, Hittites, Semites, Greeks, Romans, Colchians, Iberians, Scandinavians, Slavs and other people, which was enriched by collective knowledge and itself was reflected upon the new forms of arts. Among those, the most famous and widespread is the proverb. In 1993, Galli-Hassan Rokem published a collection of Georgian proverbs in Jerusalem. The first proverb of this collection is “A front man is a bridge to the next one”. According to the researcher, the idea of “man is a bridge to man” is expressed in it, and in his opinion it is a meta-proverb. This proverb is really unique, which reflects and presents the main vectors of human solidarity and mutual understanding habitual to the several thousand-year-old historical reality of the Georgian people. In the consciousness of Georgian people, the concrete reality, in particular, the bridge between the two banks of the river is not only directly perceived, but at the same time this real situation is understood in a figurative sense, which is revealed in the contexts of linguistic, historical and literary parallels. Accordingly, the proverbs-aphorisms of the famous poem “The Knight in the Panter’s Skin” by the well-known poet of the Renaissance period Shota Rustaveli are especially special.

CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA IMAGINAÇÃO AO PROCESSO DE DESENVOLVIMENTO E À EDUCAÇÃO: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DA PSICOLOGIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL

ABSTRACT This theoretical article aims to present a research group’s understanding about the concept of imagination from the perspective of Historical-Cultural Psychology, focusing, above all, on the ideas developed by Vigotski and some of his interlocutors. Based on this perspective, imagination is understood as a higher psychological function responsible for creating horizons, freeing the subject from his concrete reality. By enabling, intertwined with thought, the subject reaches abstract ways of thinking, the imagination assumes great relevance in the teaching/learning process, being fundamental, therefore, to the actions developed at school. It is also intended, in this article, to reflect about the concept of freedom in relation to the imagination, aiming to highlight the importance of imaginative processes for the subject’s development. Furthermore, an analysis is carried out in relation to the concept of freedom, as proposed by Historical-Cultural Psychology and its relationship with imagination. The article ends by highlighting the need for advances in the understanding of imagination and its importance in promoting the adolescents’ development and in appropriating school knowledge.

Imagining digital twins in healthcare: Designing for values as designing for technical milieus

Medicine is increasingly focusing on the prevention of diseases. The digital twin (DT) is considered to be an important technological development for realizing this transition. Broadly speaking, a DT is an in silico representation of an individual that dynamically reflects molecular and physiological status, which makes it possible to monitor precisely health status over time. Currently, DTs are more of an abstract ideal than a concrete technological reality, which makes it possible to actively imagine the different ways in which DTs might materialize. This article develops an approach to imagining the different ways in which DTs can be integrated into the lives of people. It focuses on how potential users want to be cared for by means of DTs and how care practices might be changed through the introduction of DTs. The article shows that a shift towards preventive medicine is taking place and situates DT in this context. Then, drawing on the insights of Gilbert Simondon, it suggests that the notion of technical milieu can be a helpful tool for designers to imagine the practices of valuing to which DTs give rise. Subsequently, it explains how our philosophical approach helps inform what kinds of DTs can be imagined. Then, based on interviews with people likely to relate to DTs in the (near) future, it develops six conceptions of DTs and fleshes out some of the implications of our approach for the design of DTs.

Catechesis and Modern Media: A Focus on Podcasts

Catechesis and Modern Media: A Focus on Podcasts Teofilo Giovan S. Pugeda III (bio) Pope John Paul II described catechesis as an invitation to be in intimate communion with Jesus and, through him, to share in the Trinitarian life.1 Catechesis is, thus, part of the mission of evangelization mandated by Jesus to his apostles. It cultivates faith in the hearts of those who have received and accepted the initial Gospel proclamation in their lives. He added that “catechesis is intimately bound up with the whole of the Church’s life. Not only her geographical extension and numerical increase, but even more, her inner growth and correspondence with God’s plan depend essentially on catechesis.”2 While many people rightly understand catechesis as the education of catechumens on basic Church teachings before their baptism, it can also refer to the lifelong spiritual and intellectual formation of the baptized.3 The Church developed various forms of catechesis according to changes in historical circumstances. By doing so, it used appropriate catechetical tools that delivered the Christian message in a more understandable and accessible manner to those unable to grasp academic explanations of the Church’s doctrines. These catechetical tools also helped integrate the Church’s doctrines into the more concrete realities of people’s lives. Since the ancient period, the Church has used printed works for catechesis. In the contemporary period, it also uses modern media that transmit information through signals. To better understand the relationship between the Church and modern media, this essay [End Page 65] focuses on podcasts by presenting 1) the development of catechesis, 2) Church teachings on modern media, 3) the characteristics of podcasts, and 4) thoughts on using podcasts for catechesis. Although I use the Catholic framework, the insights of this essay may benefit other Christian communities in their catechetical efforts. The Development of Catechesis There was no definitive and regular program of initiation in the first two hundred years of the Church. Christians used faith summaries for the easy socialization of converts into the Church and the legitimation of the faith in the minds of believers.4 By the late second century, a catechumenate institution emerged. The formation process was three years of instruction and conversion from behavior incompatible with the Christian lifestyle, and it culminated with baptism at Easter. The oldest description of this formation process is in the Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus of Rome. Variations did exist from one locale to another.5 At this time, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem were major catechetical centers. Early Church fathers provided catechetical foundations to these three cities, with Origen, John Chrysostom, and Cyril of Jerusalem, respectively, giving sermons or lectures there. While in the West, Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo wrote catechetical works. The early medieval period saw a decline in the catechumenate as fewer adults sought baptism, and the practice of infant baptism grew.6 With the risk of infant mortality, there was greater urgency concerning the reception of baptism. Catechesis gradually shifted from pre-baptism to post-baptism. Parents and godparents would take it upon themselves to educate the children on the faith, assuming they were familiar with Church teachings. Nevertheless, aiding in memorizing the Creed, the Our Father, and the Hail Mary with some basic instruction was often sufficient. The clergy continued to instruct the baptized through [End Page 66] preaching in the liturgy. They sometimes used catechetical handbooks and homilies. Over time, conciliar interventions in the form of ecclesiastical legislation provided organization to the teaching of doctrines and morals. The flourishing of Christian art in the medieval period also played a significant role in communicating the lives of Jesus and the saints to the people. Unfortunately, all these did not prevent the gradual stagnation within the Church. The dire state of the Church at the beginning of the sixteenth century galvanized reformers to re-envision religiosity with greater emphasis on the scriptures.7 This new vision contributed to the emergence of various beliefs. Thanks to the printing innovation of Johannes Gutenberg, reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin disseminated numerous catechisms to advance their theologies. The Church responded by producing catechisms aligned with Catholic doctrines.8 The Society of Jesus...

The Praxis of Digital Information Consumption to Change Student Behavior During Pandemic

This study aims to find out the consumptive practices of students as social media users and behavior changes felt due to frequent consumption of content from social media during the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, internet-based social media was also a new behavior and lifestyle in learning and teaching activities. The study used naturalistic inquiry methods, which resulted in writing or words and student behavior. Because to illustrate complex and concrete social realities, this study has interviewed IAIN Langsa students during the covid-19 pandemic. This research is descriptive of analytics by providing an overview of the objects studied. Sampling by snowball method makes it very easy for researchers to know students who are very active using social media. This study further used theory receptions where researchers analyzed students as social media users in the covid-19 pandemic in 2021, which is closely related to behavioral changes, namely from inclusive to exclusive or vice versa from exclusive to inclusive. This study shows that consumptive digital information practices through social media affect students, especially to changes in religious behavior, from inclusive behavior to exclusive behavior. However, this behavior is only limited to behavior in religious worship, not socio-cultural behavior. The findings of this study are that students who actively use social media can already distinguish between positive and negative content produced by online media consumed daily. After consuming social media content, students can choose and conduct studies before applying in everyday life.

데비 터커 그린의 random에 나타난 인종과 애도의 윤리

A wide range of critical perspectives on debbie tucker green from cosmopolitanism to feminism, reflect the open, flexible nature of her plays that embrace even a conflict of interpretations. However, race has always been one of her main concerns and her plays have resonated in the larger context of the development of Black British drama since the 2000s, particularly in response to the contradictory position of Black drama in mainstream contexts and the ever-changing racial discourses around British racism and identity politics. With a focus on the destructive aspects of Black masculinity, contemporary Black British drama on the mainstream stage has reinforced the stereotypical biases against Black experience and culture. green has been aware of these dilemmas of Black drama in mainstream contexts. random, her 2008 monodrama on Black youth criminality abandons social realism, the predominant form of Black drama, and attempts to build an empathic relationship with the mainstream white audience rather than appealing to their liberal conscience.<BR> Centering on random, this paper evaluates green’s attempt to explore the contemporary issues of race with the ethics of vulnerability as the universal human condition. In random, the concrete social realities of racial conflict are not buried in the dogma of identity politics, and correspond to the precarious state of human rights. Race as a social entity is consistently evoked through the dramatic techniques mobilizing and subverting the audience’s prejudices, and furthermore intersects with the markers of the universal human vulnerability such as the mortal body, death and grief. green’s audiences, the racialized subjects, are encouraged to respond to the pain and sufferings of the Other through mourning. Racial prejudices contextualize the human vulnerability whereas the experience of grief provides the audience with ethics of empathy and responsibility. Chapter II examines the racial discourses in the early 21<SUP>st</SUP> century with a focus on Tony Blair’s 2007 Cardiff speech and the limitations of contemporary Black drama in mainstream contexts. Chapter III and IV explore how random transforms the largely white mainstream audience into the ethical subjects, focusing respectively on the audience’s confrontation with their own racial biases and the communal experience of grief.

THE ADAPTIVE CAPACITY OF YOUNG MIGRANTS FROM KYRGYZSTAN IN MOSCOW

The significant numbers of migrants from Kyrgyzstan in Moscow and the difficulties in adapting to the new conditions recorded by our research highlight the need to explore the adaptive capacity of young Kyrgyz. The lack of scientific knowledge about the potential adaptive capacities of different groups of young Kyrgyz hinders the creation of optimal conditions that would allow them to internalize norms, values, and rules of behavior, increases the potential for conflict in the Moscow community, makes the life of migrants less comfortable, and complicates integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The purpose of this study is to characterize the adaptive capacity of young people from Kyrgyzstan in Moscow that helps them fit into the social environment, allows them to overcome the discomfort caused by the contradictory social context and unfamiliar living conditions, and influences their success in the host community and their attitudes to integration. The analysis presented in this article rests on empirical data obtained from a structured interview with 823 migrants, citizens of Kyrgyzstan aged 17 to 30 years, conducted in 2020. The novelty of the study lies in a systemic examination and comprehensive assessment of the social adaptation capacity of this social community, because up to now publications on this topic have considered only some aspects of the phenomenon. In this article, “adaptive capacity” refers to the set of individual characteristics of migrants that ensures their inclusion into the host society, a change in previous norms and models of behavior, and the socialization of new behavior models emerging in the process of interaction between the individual and the new socio-cultural conditions of life and work as the synergistic effect of the relationship and interaction between the adaptive capacity of the individual and that of the environment. Its analysis is based on a description of expectations, perceptions, and social attitudes; the level of empathy, openness and complementarity with regard to the host community; and the degree of tolerance for people of other nationalities and identities. The article shows how migrants evaluate the adaptive capacity of the environment as resulting from coordinated, concerted, and friendly action by all stakeholders: government, employers, and local population. It also analyzes the associations that arise in connection with Russia. The study reveals the impact of migrants’ adaptive capacity on their attitudes to integration processes in the EAEU. It was shown that notions about the nature of the interaction between Muscovites and migrants that is necessary to harmonize the individual and the environment (assimilation, bicultural adaptation or separation) determine the depth and direction of the activities of young migrants and their assessments of concrete social reality, while their strategic preferences with regard to the cultural norms and values of other peoples determine the adaptation attitudes and strategies that largely characterize their adaptive capacity. These strategies are as follows: marginalization of young Kyrgyz in the Moscow community, complementarity, and internalization of dominant norms. The research conducted suggests the need for measures to improve interaction between migrants and the host society and provides grounds for the Eurasian Economic Commission and social institutions in Russia and Kyrgyzstan to develop measures designed to create conditions for adaptation, as well as to determine the appropriate instruments and mechanisms for this purpose. This research paves the way for developing a theory of social adaptation of migrants, for empirical research into migration processes in the post-Soviet space, and for a better understanding of the specific features of social adaptation of young people from Kyrgyzstan.

La psychiatrie dans ses rapports avec l’institutionnel et le familial. Réflexions sur le futur

Psychiatry, like all areas of existence, is made up of the different dimensions of time, the present, the past and the future. We will discuss the reflection on future trajectories in two areas corresponding to our experience : on the one hand, Psychiatry in the dynamics of various medical-educational and therapeutic establishments (rehabilitation, rehabilitation, socio-psychotherapy etc.) for the child, the adolescent the adult (diversified social protection). And on the other hand, the issues concerning the support of families in the light of our studies and our practice of university training of professionals. Of course, the future of our profession is dominated, as we know, by two main general areas : The regulation of problems and conceptions of ethics from the beginning to the end of life on the one hand, and on the other hand the consolidation of structuring Humanism in the midst of currents wanting to deploy transhumanism. In this study, we will start from concrete and conceptual current realities. From an Institutional point of view, we will focus on two important areas for the future. The need for continuity in the function of psychiatry and its practices even within the diversity of personal situations, even within the Institutions and in relation to the different clinical approaches carried out (from the youngest children to adults). And on the other hand, the importance of the coordination of psychiatric practices and conceptions in the face of the current fragmentation and compartmentalisation of practices. Psychotherapies have of course to respond to very specific and well adapted indications and this need for coordination is already well recalled. But it should certainly also correspond to modifications of the training programs of psychiatry developing versatility in future psychiatrists and taking more into account the plurivalence of people as well as the philosophical and anthropological reflection capable of promoting the most complex coordinations. From the point of view of family issues, faced with the constant worsening of disruptions, professionals will have to consider family situations in a different way, taking more into account the modalities of diverse pathological family expressions than is necessary. It will act more to consider systematically in the forms of ordinary models, but as manifestations of dysfunction and suffering for children and for adults, calling for diverse and specialized help. These considerations bring us to the urgent need for measures to prevent family disturbances in the development of modalities for structuring education for young people. All these areas will need to be further supported by general epistemological and anthropological conceptions. It will be a matter of further developing integrative epistemology capable of taking account the different psychological and psychopathological conceptions (development of the child psychologies of consciousness and the unconscious, cognitivism, systemic understanding, etc.) to take more into account the structuring anthropology allowing to consider the child, the teen ager and the adult in a constructive dynamic of all the physical, psychic, noetic and spiritual components of the personalities capable of helping them to regain control and meaning of their existence.

(Un)uttered mystery of existence in V. Nabokov’ short stories “The Word” and “The Thunderstorm”

The article is devoted to identifying the poetological and semantic features of V. Nabokov’ short stories “The Word” and “The Thunderstorm”. The analysis of the first of them is directly connected with the theme of verbal art, important to Nabokov, which in this case acts as the semantic center of the work and is realized through the comparison of two contrastive plans set, on the one hand, by the motif of the hero’s verbal weakness, and on the other, by the motif of “shining”, explanatory divine word. The content of these two plans is shaded by the theme of the otherworldly, a double-world, which are significant of the entire Nabokov’s art. To clarify the writer’s intention, the author of the article turns to the two most important pretexts of “The Word”: the poems of A. Pushkin and F. Tyutchev. The article demonstrates that, focusing on the works of his predecessors, Nabokov borrowed from them those techniques and motifs that could be most organically inscribed in his own artistic system: Nabokov refuses not only to depict his hero against the background of concrete historical reality, but also from the desire to substantiate his psychological reactions. The conventional world-model of the story is subordinated to game strategies aimed at comprehending the essence of creativity and its role in human life. Only the word, taken in its aesthetic function, is capable, according to Nabokov, to bring a person closer to the secrets of existence, to penetrate into the realm of the otherworldly, rationally incomprehensible. Thus, the angelic Word, rendered in the title, acts as a metaphor for creativity, embodied by Nabokov in the artistic fabric of the work. In the aspect of realizing the themes of double world and verbal creativity, the article also analyzes “The Thunderstorm”, which clearly reveals game narrative strategies. Thus, Nabokov’s method of “an open finale” assimilated by the literary tradition appears as a false narrative move, emphasizing the author’s modernistic intentions. Using the example of the analysis of the indicated stories, the article shows that Nabokov’s poetics vividly demonstrates the principles of modernistic writing with its headline setting on creative comprehension and figurative reflection of the irrational foundations of human life.

The Place of the Dead in the Mediterranean. A Sicilian Experience

Death during the journey to Europe is both a spectre hanging over border crossers and a concrete reality. It is also a very present issue within the society that finds itself forced to deal with these inert bodies. Drawing on a field study has been conducted since January 2018, we focus here on how the bodies found at sea and taken to the port of Catania (Sicily) are managed, exploring both their itinerary and how a small group of people from the city has become involved in a project to give them a name and a biography.

Visual spaces of change. Entre lo real y lo imaginado. El papel de la fotografía y de la manipulación de la imagen en el debate crítico sobre arquitectura y el espacio publico

This paper explores the relationships between virtual dimensions of photography and concrete physical realities in contemporary discourses on Architecture, City and Territory. Based on the work of Filip Dujardin, Isabel Brison, Philipp Schaerer, Beate Gütschow, Dionisio Gonzalez, Emilio Pemjean and Thomas Ruff, we analyse different approaches to the digital manipulation of images for the creation of utopian and dystopian visions of urban landscapes. By analysing specific examples of the use of photography as an instrument to explore architectural ideas and forms, the construction of imaginary spaces and constructions is examined as constitutive parts of visual research methods developed by these authors, which may be applied for embedding critical debates on the urban environment in the public sphere. A number of relations between the artistic strategies developed by these authors are examined, focusing on the various methods used for the construction of visual narratives in tandem with the creation of fictional structures and imaginary spaces. The theoretical relevance and potential of the photographic works is highlighted pinpointing key aspects and features that make these authors important references for an understanding of photography as a documentary and fictional critical instrument for understanding, exploring and communicating contemporary urban changes with a special focus on architecture and the public space.

Reality shifting: psychological features of an emergent online daydreaming culture.

Reality shifting (RS) is a trendy mental activity that emerged abruptly following the flare-up of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and seems to be practiced mainly by members of the post-millennial generation. RS, described as the experience of being able to transcend one’s physical confines and visit alternate, mostly fictional, universes, is discussed by many on Internet platforms. One RS forum boasts over 40,000 members and RS clips on some social media platforms have been viewed over 1.7 billion times. The experience of shifting is reportedly facilitated by specific induction methods involving relaxation, concentration of attention, and autosuggestion. Some practitioners report a strong sense of presence in their desired realities, reified by some who believe in the concrete reality of the alternate world they shift to. One of the most popular alternate universes involves environments adopted from the Harry Potter book and film series. We describe the phenomenology of RS as reported online and then compare it to related phenomena such as hypnosis, tulpamancy, dissociation, immersive and maladaptive daydreaming, and lucid dreaming. We propose a theoretical model of interactive factors giving rise to RS, and conclude that it is an important, uninvestigated emerging phenomenon and propose future research directions.

한국 근대 사회운동의 계승관계에 대한 고등학교 한국사 교과서 서술 분석 - 동학농민전쟁과 의병운동을 중심으로 -

When we analyze [Donghak Peasant Revolution Participation White Paper] and [Independence Patriots Achievement Record], severance was more common than succession in terms of the succession of personnel from Donghak to Righteous Army. Also, the Confucian students, who were the central force of the Righteous Army, were generally hostile to Donghak. Therefore, it is necessary to reconsider the schema of simply connecting the genealogy setting of the modern and contemporary social movement history from Donghak to Righteous Army.BR However, we should not completely deny the succession from Donghak to Righteous Army altogether and determine the succession from anti-Donghak to Righteous Army, e ither. As mentioned in this paper, there was no Righteous Army leader in then northern Gyeongsang-do area who was from anti-Donghak party and there were several cases that some former Donghak participants joined the Righteous Army. These mean that there were people who crossed between different forces in the local communities. However, the existence of people in the intersection of those two forces and defining the succession of personnel between the two powers is another matter. This is because the aspect of the succession of orientations between the two forces must also be considered.BR In conclusion, the dichotomy between the progressive succession and severance from Donghak Peasant War to the Righteous Army Movement must be overcome. The reality of the time was not simply the succession based on the developmental stage theory, nor was it a complete segmentation. It is necessary to accurately recognize the concrete reality of the time where some forces were intertwined, even though they were mostly opposed, and their boundaries were not fixed but variable. On this basis, we will be able to figure out the succession and historical position of the modern and contemporary social movements history in Korea more correctly.

The Increasing Centrality of Robotic Technology in the Context of Nursing Care: Bioethical Implications Analyzed through a Scoping Review Approach.

At the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution, the healthcare industry is experiencing a momentous shift in the direction of increasingly pervasive technologization of care. If, up until the 2000s, imagining healthcare provided by robots was a purely futuristic fantasy, today, such a scenario is in fact a concrete reality, especially in some countries, such as Japan, where nursing care is largely delivered by assistive and social robots in both public and private healthcare settings, as well as in home care. This revolution in the context of care, already underway in many countries and destined to take place soon on a global scale, raises obvious ethical issues, related primarily to the progressive dehumanization of healthcare, a process which, moreover, has undergone an important acceleration following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has made it necessary to devise new systems to deliver healthcare services while minimizing interhuman contact. According to leading industry experts, nurses will be the primary users of healthcare robots in the short term. The aim of this study is to provide a general overview, through a scoping review approach, of the most relevant ethical issues that have emerged in the nursing care field in relation to the increasingly decisive role that service robots play in the provision of care. Specifically, through the adoption of the population-concept-context framework, we formulated this broad question: what are the most relevant ethical issues directly impacting clinical practice that arise in nursing care delivered by assistive and social robots? We conducted the review according to the five-step methodology outlined by Arksey and O'Malley. The first two steps, formulating the main research question and carrying out the literature search, were performed based on the population-context-concept (PCC) framework suggested by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Starting from an initial quota of 2,328 scientific papers, we performed an initial screening through a computer system by eliminating duplicated and non-English language articles. The next step consisted of selection based on a reading of the titles and abstracts, adopting four precise exclusion criteria: articles related to a nonnursing environment, articles dealing with bioethical aspects in a marginal way, articles related to technological devices other than robots, and articles that did not treat the dynamics of human-robot relationships in depth. Of the 2,328 titles and abstracts screened, we included 14. The results of the 14 papers revealed the existence of nonnegligible difficulties in the integration of robotic systems within nursing, leading to a lively search for new theoretical ethical frameworks, in which robots can find a place; concurrent with this exploration are the frantic attempts to identify the best ethical design system applicable to robots who work alongside nurses in hospital wards. In the final part of the paper, we also proposed considerations about the Italian nursing context and the legal implications of nursing care provided by robots in light of the Italian legislative panorama. Regarding future perspectives, this paper offers insights regarding robot engagement strategies within nursing.

PESQUISA COM O COTIDIANO: AÇÃO, PARTICIPAÇÃO E TRANSFORMAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO PÚBLICA

This article seeks to present the Research with the quotidian as a participatory methodology that taking the dialogue as a methodological and epistemological principle, marked by the subject-subject relationship, has allowed us to understand the quotidian as a space-time of claim, contestation, reflection, elaboration of the concrete reality and knowledge production. Such an understanding linked to the legacy of popular education in Brazil and Latin America helps us to formulate possibilities in search of guaranteeing the right to free, quality and public education for children, adolescents, youth and adults of the popular classes.

Musik bukan Pekerjaan: Distingsi dan Transgresi dalam Karier Bermusik Musisi Metal Ekstrem Yogyakarta

This article focuses on the separation between music and work that has been done by Yogyakarta’ extreme metal musician. Along with a deeper explanation of youth cultural practices in Yogyakarta, this article also provides a gap bridge between youth culture and youth transition perspective. In order to obtain those purposes, this article utilizes youth culture perspective and youth transition perspective approach, together with field and doxa. Regarding the research method, this article uses qualitative ethnographic approach and has been done through six months data collecting. This research approach was chosen in order to capture the concrete reality that has been experienced by research informants. Based on the findings analysis, which has been done both textually and interpretively, the separation between music and work among informants, on the one hand could be understood as a strategy to maintain informants' pride within the extreme metal scene. On the other hand, this separation also could be defined as a strategy to maintain informants' social position, especially as Indonesian middle class.

Meneguhkan Peran Perempuan

Gender equality has been recognized and accepted as a normative framework for human development. The aim of this article is to explore in depth a pragmatic, action-based approach that will translate gender equality and women's empowerment programs into concrete reality. This study was carried out through action research in the Library Studies, in which the authors reviewed and analyzed gender-related studies for further conclusions to be drawn. The results of the study found that development goals regarding gender equality and women's empowerment are not only needed for sustainable development efforts in Indonesia; it also demands a pragmatic approach to appropriate policy formulation, program design, focused implementation and effective monitoring and evaluation in a climate of friendly political will, genuine commitment and a restoration of national orientation.

Фотографический дискурс по фондам Института истории Кубы. Анализ для нового использования

Photography is the most widely found unwritten textual document in the archives. For this reason, we propose a first approach to the photo-graphic funds of the historical archive of the Institute of History of Cu-ba (IHC) from a comprehensive perspective as a photographic corpus that carries a discourse and not in a fragmented way. For this we will use serialized reading, according to the themes, because it is in the col-lections and archival funds where photography acquires, as an informa-tive medium, true meaning. We will refer only to documentary photog-raphy, which in its testimonial quality preserves the perishable to the collective memory by referring to what happened in concrete reality with a specific time and space, always from the subjectivity of the pho-tographer, which is why it can be used as a historical source of knowledge. Through this work we propose a new institutional use, from the inside archive, that contributes to rescuing the patrimonial values of these funds as one of the essential photographic narratives of the history of Cuba and at the same time perfecting ourselves as public servants. It is not a simple case study, the Institute of History of Cuba is a unique institution in the network of social sciences in Cuba.

Carrying fire: A Way forward for integral foresight

One of Richard Slaughter’s central innovations has been to bring the other half of reality to the field of Futures Studies. Slaughter has argued for the inner dimension of ideas, developmental levels, and mentation to be as central – if not more so – than the technical, systemic and concrete reality the field was founded upon. In this article I will present an overview of Slaughter’s central innovations that have carried the field towards a more Integral age. I will also propose a way forward for Integral Futures that is dependent on a simple heuristic model that can help simplify the complexity of Integral Theory.
