Micro-targeting consumers to reduce consumptive externalities.

When correcting for consumption externalities policymakers may employ economic incentives, a uniform moral suasion intervention, or various micro-targeted moral suasion interventions. To assess the relative effectiveness of these policy interventions, we randomly assign consumers to different moral suasion treatments designed to increase their willingness to pay for energy efficient light bulbs. Both economic incentives and single moral suasion interventions have similar modest effects on household willingness to pay for this durable good. However, we find that optimally targeting moral suasion messages increases consumers' choice of the most efficient light bulbs even more than large subsidies.

“A slumber did my spirit seal”: Wrestling with Paul Fry on His Own Wordsworthian Terrain

This essay focuses on Fry’s theory of poetry, especially as he develops it in A Defense of Poetry: Reflections on the Occasion of Writing (1995) and Wordsworth and the Poetry of What We Are (2008), by examining his various discussions of Wordsworth’s lyric, “A slumber did my spirit seal.” For Wordsworth in the “Preface to Lyrical Ballads,” meter, rather than being imbricated with meaning, is “superadded,” and for the anti-formalist Fry what distinguishes poetry from other forms of discourse is not verse but rather its relation to what he calls “insignificance.” In examining “A slumber” against Fry’s discussions of the poem, I argue both that its meaning cannot be separated from its meter, as Fry’s analysis itself paradoxically reveals (in other words, that Wordsworth’s practice is at variance from his theory), and that the poem’s meter reveals an intertextual connection that allows it to be read as having a significant moral message. Against the postmodern perspective that Fry delineates in A Defense, I conclude (somewhat quixotically) by arguing that poetry needs to be defined and defended in terms of verse.

Teaching Islamic values through traditional stories

This research is motivated by the lack of appreciation to explore the values of the Minangkabau story, even though the report also conveys a religious message. By using the close reading technique, this paper interprets the various moral messages contained in 11 Minangkabau stories, namely Anak Mudo, Limau Anyuik, The Honest Child, Batu Manangih, Boncah Tangkuluak, Carito Bukik Balacan, Kuciang jo Harimau, Rumah Raksasa, Urang Kayo Sampilik, Kawan nan Setia,, and Tupai jo Limbek. From the analysis of this story, moral messages were found, such as honesty, respect for mothers, humility, and mutual help. This morality is seen to be by Islamic character, based on the two measuring tools Gus Dur regarding the principle/consistency and sincerity of the message content, and also based on the reality of the Minangkabau people's customs intertwined with Islam. This story articulates the Minangkabau community's ability to cultivate themselves by adhering to traditions and Islam.Keywords: Morality, Value, Message, Minangkabau Story, Islam

The Poetics of the Wise Fool in the Music and Letters of Ignatius Sancho

ABSTRACT While the correspondence of the Black British writer, musician, butler, and shopkeeper Ignatius Sancho has long been recognized as pioneering in its use of the sentimental literary style to articulate anti-racist and anti-slavery positions, his music has largely evaded serious interpretative consideration. This essay considers one way in which Sancho apparently used music to convey his moral messages. His song ‘Sweetest Bard’ and his instrumental dance piece ‘Mungo’s Delight’ suggest that he adopted and reappropriated the persona of the ‘wise fool’, a figure well known to eighteenth-century readers from characters such as Shakespeare’s Falstaff, Sterne’s Yorick, and Cervantes’s Sancho Panza. Understanding these two pieces of music through the lens of the wise fool helps to elucidate Sancho’s use of music as a means of calling attention to the prejudices of white British society.

“Home, Sweet Home”: Identity and Diaspora in Bai Jing-rui’s Qiong Yao Films

Abstract This paper discusses the Qiong Yao films directed by Bai Jing-rui in the 1970s, arguing that these romantic dramas took a proactive part in representing a cultural identity in Taiwan society of the time. The paper investigates how various issues, such as “home”, nationhood and diaspora, are treated in the films. In the process, the paper situates the filmic discussion in the wider context of a highly politicised environment in general and the industrial discourses of “healthy realism” and “healthy variety-show” in particular. The paper proposes that Bai Jing-rui’s Qiong Yao films grew out of a push-and-pull between three elements: (1) the authorities that wanted to promote certain moral and political messages; (2) Bai Jing-rui as an auteur strongly committed to the art of filmmaking; and (3) the audience at large whose support was needed to sustain a film industry. The paper gives close attention to how Bai’s Qiong Yao films tried various ways of reconciling those competing forces. As case studies, the paper examines closely two of Bai Jing-rui’s Girl Friend (1975) and Far Away from Home (1977) to show how they blended modernity with nativism in articulating a sense of cultural identity.

GORONTALO WOMEN’S BE’ATI (BAI’AT): The Perspective of History, Culture and Islamic Law

This paper discusses the tradition of Bai’at (be'ati) or initiation for a teenage girl after the arrival of the first menstruation in the traditional culture of Gorontalo. Through field studies by interviews, observation and study of documents, this research shows that the procession of the initiation ritual ceremony (mome'ati) is conducted in six stages, including: molungudu (sauna bath with traditional herbs), momonto (putting a red mark on the forehead), momuhuto (bathing with traditional herbs), mopohuta'a to pingge (stepping on a plate), mome'ati (initiation ritual) and mohatamu (completing the recitation of the Qur’an). The six be'ati rituals are loaded with moral values as a living guidance for the teenage girl. In the perspective of Islamic law philosophy, molungudu and momuhuto are aligned with the principle of benefit as they emphasize physical health and personal hygiene. In the fiqh category, both are included in the discourse of thahârah (cleanliness). Meanwhile, momonto and mopohuta'a to pingge emphasize the identity of the Muslim personality and the attitude of being careful in treading the teenage life. Both are included in the category of Islamic morality, since they are loaded with moral messages. Whereas, mome'ati emphasizes the practice of the pillars of Faith, the pillars of Islam, and obedience to both parents. As for mohatamu, it emphasizes the love for the Holy Qur'an. All stages in the be'ati ritual show the acculturation of Islam with the local culture of Gorontalo. Even, the be'ati tradition is the implementation of Islamic teachings through culture and customs ('urf).
