Promoting the Chinese martial arts internationally: Is it ‘Kung Fu’ or ‘Wushu’?

The term ‘Kung Fu’ is used internationally more often than its official name ‘Wushu’ to depict the Chinese martial arts. Yet the latter term has been promoted by the Chinese government for nearly 50 years and also used by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) during the past three decades. This paper examines the distinction in the meaning between both terms through Stuart Hall's Representation Theory, based on 20 in-depth interviews with international expert witnesses. Findings suggest that the term ‘Kung Fu’ is mostly associated with traditional Chinese martial arts, Kung Fu cinema, Oriental imagination, and fighting practicability. For expert witnesses, Kung Fu represents an identity of traditional Chinese martial arts and a way to experience ‘Chineseness’. By contrast, although the IWUF has made efforts to package Wushu as the term representing Chinese martial arts, ‘Wushu’ is regarded as a competitive sport, shaped significantly by IWUF's Olympic ambition. Also, three key aspects regarding the representation of the Chinese martial arts in relation to both terms are discussed.

COUNTER DISCOURSE OF MACULINITY IN AVENGER: END GAME MOVIE

AbstractMasculinity in mass communication always attracts attention and is a hot topic of discussion. The masculinity of men who are always juxtaposed with women is a power struggle on two sides: men as men themselves and men compared to women. The study aims to counter the dominant masculinity issue in Avenger: The End Game (2018) movie. This study sheds light on the position of men in superhero films who are always dominant in masculinity. However, this film also shows declining male masculinity where men show their powerless side. This study was conducted with a descriptive qualitative method. Stuart Hall's representation theory and Chafetz's masculinity are the main theories to dissect male masculinity. Secondary data from other journals and books also supported the analysis. Finding and analysis finally show that men's powerless and men's emotions become male declining masculinity in this film.Keywords: communication, declining, domination, male, masculinity

Theory of magnetic spin and orbital Hall and Nernst effects in bulk ferromagnets

The magnetic spin Hall effect (MSHE) is an anomalous charge-to-spin conversion phenomenon which occurs in ferromagnetic materials. In contrast to the conventional spin Hall effect (SHE), being a time-reversal even effect, the magnetic counterpart is time-reversal odd. In this work, we use ab initio calculations to investigate the MSHE for the bulk ferromagnets Fe, Co, and Ni. The magnitudes of the MSHE of Fe and Co are comparable to those of the SHE, but the MSHE is strongly dependent on the electron lifetime and the MSHE and SHE can moreover have opposite signs. For Ni the MSHE is smaller than the SHE, but in general, the MSHE cannot be ignored for spin-orbit torques. Considering a charge current we analyze how both the MSHE and SHE contribute to a total Hall angle. We extend our analysis of the MSHE to its orbital counterpart, that is, the magnetic orbital Hall effect (MOHE), for which we show that the MOHE is in general smaller than the orbital Hall effect (OHE). We compute furthermore the thermal analogs, i.e., the spin and orbital Nernst effects, and their magnetic counterparts. Here our calculations show that the magnetic spin and orbital Nernst effects of Ni are substantially larger than those of Fe and Co.

Redefining Ngurek Bali: Analysis of Audience Perception in The Cyber World

The problem in this research is the public response against the Balinese ngurek tradition. This research discusses the reinterpretation of a Hindu religious ritual in Bali, namely the ngurek ritual or often referred to as ngunying. This religious ritual is quite unique and extreme so it has many meanings. This type of research is a qualitative research with reference to Stuart Hall's encoding-decoding theory. This data collection was obtained through youtube with comments and also the results of interviews with one of the informants. Data analysis with data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the topics that appear in the comments are not limited to traditional rituals. The material also involves involvement and controversy between the religious rituals of ngurek and Hindu rituals in Bali simultaneously. The new thing that can be known is that the ngurek tradition is an ancient Balinese custom, where a spirit invitation ceremony is held. The spirits are asked to enter into the designated body and be a sign that the invited spirit will be present. The ngurek tradition is also believed to invite Ida Bhatara and Rereancang (his soldiers) to receive offerings during the ceremony.

Cross Cultural Temporal Tendencies Between Monochronic and Polychronic Materialisation in the films A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) and The Uninvited (2009)

ABSTRACT Material culture is an extension of spatial–temporal perceptions and behaviour. The nature of the manner in which rhetorical material is woven into visual narrative become symbolic expressions of material assembly. Mikhail Bakhtin referred to such material assembly as “flesh” in the instance of the novel. In this article, I will extend Bakhtin's notion of “flesh” to film and demonstrate that Edward Hall's theory of mono-chronic and poly-chronic time apply to the materialisation of narrative flesh in the films discussed herein.

Women's Glory In Islamic Perspective (Representation Of Buya Hamka's Thoughts)

This paper is entitled "The Glory of Women in an Islamic Perspective". This paper is also based on the importance of discussing women, more specifically from the thoughts of the great scholar, Buya Hamka. Buya Hamka's thoughts in this paper are obtained from his work, namely a book entitled "Buya Hamka Talks about Women". The purpose of this paper is to find out what Buya Hamka thinks about the glory of women from an Islamic perspective. The paradigm used in this paper is the constructivist paradigm. This paper includes a literature review using qualitative methods. In this paper, data collection was carried out by dissecting the contents of Buya Hamka's book and using books, articles, and journals as additional references. Stuart Hall's representation theory is the theory used in this paper. In Stuart Hall's theory, a problem is explained linguistically and then found the meaning of the language. The result of this paper is that Buya Hamka represents the glory of women by providing an explanation of several things, namely: women are mentioned a lot in the Qur'an, women receive the same respect as men, women are given tasks that are in accordance with their physical condition and condition, women gain self-respect, the Prophet's love for his daughters, a mother must be respected, women must be loved and respected, women (wives) are not wrong in the incident of the descent of Adam and Eve from heaven, women are glorified above angels, women are given guarantees property rights, women have special rights.Keywords: Buya Hamka, Women's Glory, Representation.

The Portrayal of an Iranian Queer Muslim Teenager in Arvin Ahmadi’s How It All Blew Up

This research examines the representation of an Iranian queer Muslim teenager in Arvin Ahmadi's How It All Blew Up. It also evaluates how the novel describes the sufferings of an Iranian queer Muslim teenager through symbolism, which Ahmadi uses as his aesthetic strategies. This research is descriptive qualitative, which examines the primary text by using close textual analysis. This research engages with Stuart Hall's theory of representation and Chris Barker's queer theory. The research investigates the symbolism representing the sufferings of an Iranian queer Muslim teenager and what aesthetic strategies the author uses to question mainstream society, which tends to exclude a queer teenager from “normal” belonging. Indeed, the analysis is engaged with Stuart Hall's theory of representation and Chris Barker's queer theory. This research discovered five representations of the protagonist character in the novel, namely Amir is represented as an Iranian queer Muslim that was born to an Iranian Muslim immigrant family, an Iranian queer Muslim that grew up in a Muslim family that did not strictly implement Islamic teachings, an irreligious Iranian queer Muslim, an Iranian queer Muslim that was attracted to people of the same sex, and an Iranian queer Muslim that struggled with his family's acceptance of his queerness. Indeed, this research discovers four symbols that are used to represent the suffering of an Iranian queer Muslim teenager, including the symbol of fortress, tunnel, tattoo, and wall. Thus, Ahmadi’s novel reveals how a queer Muslim teenager struggles to fight for his rights to be acknowledged and appreciated in the ideas of “normality” and social belonging.

REPRESENTASI LOCAL WISDOM DALAM TAFSIR AL-AZHAR

This paper analyzes the representation of local wisdom of Minangkabau culture in Buya Hamka's Tafsir al-Azhar, especially in interpreting verses about oral care. Tafsir al-Azhar is a work heavily influenced by the objective reality of local wisdom and the subjective side of the author as part of Minangkabau society. This research is literature research with content analysis through Stuart Hall's representation theory. This research shows that Hamka, in the interpretation of al-Azhar, especially the verses on oral protection, represents local wisdom: reflectively, intentionally, and constructionally. Reflectively, which directly explains the meaning of the verse he is interpreting. Consciously, Hamka interprets the verse as influenced by the collective consciousness of the Minangkabau community. Meanwhile, as a constructionist, Hamka deliberately constructs Minangkabau local wisdom in practicing interpreted verses.

Representasi Dan Citra Visual Artis Hijrah Di Media Online

The use of hijab in Indonesia is now very widespread. The rise of changes in the appearance of women in Indonesia for the hijab in public spaces, also colored by the hijab of artists who used to decorate the screen and social media, changed from previous appearances that tend to be sexy and open. The term migratory artist also surfaced. Research that discusses the visual image and representation of hijab women has indeed been done a lot, but specifically about hijrah artists who are veiled that appear in online media, is not much. For this reason, this study tries to describe how the representation and visual image of migrants in online media in Indonesia. This study rests on Stuart Hall's representation theory, visual image theory, and framing analysis. Samples taken by purposive sampling decided to observe Instagram belonging to migrants: Mulan Jameela, Laudya Cyntha Bella, Cut Meyriska, and Rachel Vennya. Each sample is discussed in terms of lifestyle, endorse, gossip about the artist's personal, as well as online media that often broadcast news about him. In the context of migratory artists, changing their appearance becomes an easy target for the audience. The artists emigrated as celebrities in online media, of course they could not be separated from how the visual image of their social media each dealing with online media portal framing. No matter how hard the artist tries to display a good self-image, there will always be netizens who comment in a scathing tone, balanced with positive comments from supporters. The representation and visual image of a migratory artist must be viewed positively, although it cannot be interpreted as a spectacular awakening of religiousity, but it is still limited to financial gain.

Rerpresentasi Nilai Antikorupsi, Toleransi, dan Partisipasi Program Mata Najwa di Narasi

The title of this research is Representation of Anti-Corruption Values, Tolerance, and Participation in the Mata Najwa Program in Narasi. Narasi in collaboration with Trans7 broadcasts the Mata Najwa program every Wednesday at 20.00 WIB. This program consistently maintains the quality of broadcast content by bringing values of anti-corruption, tolerance, and participation. These values are not only the foundation in preparing the material or content in each episode, but also want to build critical thinking in society (especially the younger generation) and make them move for a better Indonesia. This research is descriptive qualitative which aims to understand the representation of the value of the Mata Najwa program in Narasi, and the message of the Mata Najwa program. The unit of analysis in this study is the selection of three episodes that represent the anti-corruption value (Serba Pungli episode), tolerance value (Once Again Problem Tolerance episode), and participation value (Warga Bantu Warga episode). The unit of analysis was dissected using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory which looked at the denotations, connotations, and myths of the Mata Najwa talkshow program instrument, which was then interpreted by Stuart Hall's representation theory. The results of the study found that the representation of the value of anti-corruption represents the value of preventing corruption and the opportunity for corruption to develop by increasing individual awareness not to commit corruption and how to save money and state assets. Tolerance represents the value of respecting every difference, being open to other people's ways of thinking, accepting, and respecting the values that other people have. And participation represents the value of the involvement of individuals or groups to take roles and take responsibility for development, environmental empowerment, political, religious issues, or decision-making, policies, and government services. The representation of the value of the Mata Najwa program as a medium creates a culture of anti-corruption, tolerance and audience participation, as well as being a vehicle for narrative media to transfer ideology in order to build and expand social relations.

Konstruksi Kecantikan Perempuan dalam Iklan Kosmetik Jepang Hada Labo

The Hada Labo cosmetic advert shows something different by showing a model far from the standard of physical beauty that Japanese society believes. This ad tries to represent beauty from a different angle by highlighting skin beauty and self-confidence. So the purpose of this study is to find out whether the representation of women's beauty in Hada Labo advertisements using the main female model tends to deviate and even contradict the beauty standards of Japanese society. The researcher uses Stuart Hall's representation theory approach, which uses a constructionist approach that is in line with Roland Barthes' semiotic theory so that to analyze the data, Roland Barthes' semiotic theory is used. The concept of beauty used is the concept of Naomi Wolf. So that the study results were found, namely, in this advertisement, female beauty is represented far and even better than the myth of ideal beauty standards created by the mass media and the general public today. Lack of self-confidence and the tendency to compare one's appearance with the appearance of others are things that women often do.

Simulation of low frequency noise in buried-channel MOSFET by a Green’s function-based numerical trap level model

The depletion mode Buried Chanel (BC) MOSFETs are known for their reduced Low Frequency Noise (LFN) as compared with normal Surface Channel (SC) MOSFETs in the application of Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) and CMOS imagers. To investigate the BC MOSFETs’ LFN mechanism comprehensively, we have developed a physical-based numerical device level simulator that accounts for the LFN contribution from each single individual oxide trap. During the simulation, the trapping current amplitude ΔID matrices are extracted efficiently by the potential-current based Green’s function. The trap capture and emission time constants are calculated via Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) theory with Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) tunneling approximation. To valid our simulator, both BC and SC type MOSFETs are designed and fabricated in a CMOS imager compatible process for noise measurement and comparison. Quantitatively agreement has been obtained for both types of MOSFETs in terms of LFN spectra on a wide biasing range from the extracted process-based oxide traps’ geometry and energy sites. It reveals that the low noise operation of BC MOSFETs is inseparable from both the ΔID suppression effect and the traps’ activation energy.

Cultural Shifting And Non-Verbal Communication Reconstruction In Covid-19 Outbreak: Indonesia’S Insight

COVID 19 has had a multidisciplinary impact on health, economic, and socio-political emergencies. In the context of communal culture, the impact is increasingly felt. Various activities that prioritize collectivity become limited and even eliminated. In general, communal people used to handle certain messages with physical touch. During the pandemic, conversely, non-verbal activity are in a shifting mode. Therefore, this research attempt to identifies interaction patterns changes in collective society addressing the new habit in non-verbal communication perspectives. This research uses literature studies on journals, previous studies, and other textual documents that are relevant to the research objectives. The analysis results were discussed by the Birdwhistell kinesics theory and Hall's proxemics theory. The research obtained the discussion about non-verbal communication patterns shifting from the haptic tradition to mediated communication. Furthermore, the discussion also apply to physical distance in space and time theory outlook. Therefore, in collective society, the changes will not only generate a new culture but also deliver the way of thinking shifting. The communication barriers presence in indexical signs use then likely happened. Further research could emphasize on macro levels in language relativity perspective. The use of positivistic paradigms to explain correlations between population characteristics and changes in communication behavior patterns during a pandemic can also be explored.

Consider the audience's main concepts and listeners which shows that the audience's main concepts and listeners, conventional radio broadcast broadcasting and audience research are observed to be out-dated or, at least inappropriate to describe today's cross-media, multiplatform and multitasking behavior about media, especially radio.

Carter and Gasch\xfctz theories beyond soluble groups

Classical results from the theory of finite soluble groups state that Carter subgroups, i.e. self-normalizing nilpotent subgroups, coincide with nilpotent projectors and with nilpotent covering subgroups, and they form a non-empty conjugacy class of subgroups, in soluble groups. This paper presents an extension of these facts to pi -separable groups, for sets of primes pi , by proving the existence of a conjugacy class of subgroups in pi -separable groups, which specialize to Carter subgroups within the universe of soluble groups. The approach runs parallel to the extension of Hall theory from soluble to pi -separable groups by Čunihin, regarding existence and properties of Hall subgroups.

Instagram as One of Generation Z's Choice of Health Information Sources in Indonesia

Social media is a communication tool that can disseminate or spread a culture, including YouTube. It has become a meeting place for various people from different backgrounds. However, YouTube becomes an arena where dominant groups exercise power over other groups. Trans TV company has the capital that can create a habitus that oppresses other groups. Through the ‘Ngobrol Asal' program, Trans TV tries to maintain its position. The program indicates the existence of symbolic violence against people with disabilities. Disability discrimination issues have been in the spotlight throughout history. Through the modernization of communication tools, discrimination of persons with disabilities occurs smoothly. Komeng, the actor, performs a comedy that refers to the symbolic violence against Daus Mini as a person with a disability whose limitations turn into a joke that indirectly impacts the negative perception of people with disabilities. This study uses qualitative research methods. This study uses the perspective of Stuart Hall's Representation Theory to reveal the meaning of the scene and Bourdieu's Theory of Symbolic Violence to explain comedic content, which is an arena for the practice of symbolic violence. The results of this study indicate the existence of symbolic violence in the 'Ngobrol Asal' program. This can be seen in Komeng's jokes, representing Daus Mini as a small child who cannot contribute to society. The limitation of Daus Mini as the actor is interpreted as a disgrace to the family or the surrounding environment. Trans TV as a capital owner, uses YouTube as a battle arena to maintain its position, regardless of the impact on people with disabilities.
