An Epistemology of Revelation

The aim of this article is to approach the epistemology of revelation through the approach of political anthropology. It departs from Max Weber’s distinction between ordinary and out-of-the-ordinary situations, which led to his idea of charismatic power. This article complements the Weberian perspective by introducing the anthropological term “liminality” for such situations, as well as the term “trickster” for figures who have a specific affinity for appearing in such situations, creating havoc instead of offering a solution. Ordinary knowledge does not apply to liminal void situations of incommensurability; incommensurable knowledge can be gained by magic and religion. Magic forces the transcendent and claims to produce effects, while religion is based on revealed knowledge, the validity of which is established by trust. Under particularly anguishing liminal conditions, the hardly tolerated practitioners of magic might gain positions of power. An important such example is offered by Persian Magi. Turning to the present, modern rationalism, with Bacon and Descartes, undermined both ordinary and revealed knowledge. The possible relevance of revealed knowledge in contemporary times is discussed through the related phenomena of apocalyptic expectations and Marian apparitions.

TINDAKAN SOSIAL PENGGUNAAN SIMBOL AGAMA DALAM POSTER KAMPANYE LEGISLATIF TAHUN 2019 DI PROVINSI BANTEN

This study discusses the phenomenon of the use of religious attributes in campaign posters that occurred during the general elections (elections) in 2019, especially in the selection of legislative candidates in Banten Province who were the subject of research, which we know that religious attributes are often used by Muslim communities in Banten in conducting worship or religious activities, but the political elite using religious attributes as a political message in this campaign poster makes a shift in meaning and the motives used. To examine the identification of the problem the researcher used Max Weber's Social Action Theory and Husserl's phenomenological method, interpretative paradigms and qualitative approaches to look for explanations about events and interpret phenomena that occur, in collecting data researchers conducted observations, in-depth interviews, documentation and literature presentations. The results of this study indicate that the motives carried out by legislative candidates in using religious attributes in the campaign poster are because of the disclosure of identity, habits, image formation and culture. For symbolic meaning in daily life and politics used to worship and religious activities, respect religious people and attend formal activities. Keywords: Husserl's Phenomenology, Meaning, Political Communication, Social Action

Max Weber and the Legitimate Order Theory

Abstract: The Weberian theory of legitimacy is a topic that scholars have widely discussed, often arguing how contradictory it might be. One of the main problems concerns the formal mismatch between the two typologies of legitimacy presented in Soziologische Grundbegriffe and the one elaborated in Die Typen der Herrschaft , two texts composed by Weber towards the end of his life, between 1919 and 1920. This article examines Weber’s position on legitimacy as articulated in these texts, focusing in particular on the intertwining of order and legitimacy. In this respect, the article makes two points: firstly, Weber characterises the legitimate order as being, to some extent, connected to the representation of values. Secondly, Weber conceives the legitimacy of rulership as a prestige that cannot exist independently from a legitimate order. The centrality of the concept of order accounts for the coherence and unity of Weber’s final stance on the issue of legitimacy.

Actualization of Meaning and Motives For Entering The Sufism Order On Max Weber Perpective

This paper interprets the actualization of the core beliefs and values meaning of the Tijaniyya Sufi Order by Kiai Djauhari, Kiai Tidjani and Kiai Ahmad Fauzi, the muqaddam of the Tijaniyya Order as well as the leaders and caregivers of a pesantren. This is a phenomenological study, conducted at the Al-Amien Prenduan Islamic boarding school. Observations, interviews and documentation were conducted to collect data. Max Weber's theory of social action were employed to analyze the data. This study concludes that the actualization was performed through being the role models as well as internalizing the practice of the Tijaniyya in the pesantren traditions. This actualization process stimulates the emergence of five motives of talqin Tijani (entering the Tijaniyya Order). They are traditional motives, affectual motives, instrumentally rational motives, value rational motives, and intuitive motives.

Imperialism, empowerment, and support for sustainable tourism: Can residents become empowered through an imperialistic tourism development model?

Resident empowerment is an effective tool that contributes to the sustainable development of tourism. However, in many low-income countries, tourism is usually implemented through an imperialist tourism development model, questioning the sector's true intentions for this type of development. Within this backdrop, this study aims to investigate how, under such conditions, residents' perception of imperialism is associated with residents' perceptions of empowerment and to what extent these perceptions influence their support for sustainable tourism development. To better understand these relationships, Weber's Theory of Formal Substantive Rationality and Institutional Theory were employed. This study surveyed a representative sample of 341 residents on the island of Sal, Cape Verde in 2022. Overall, results illustrate that residents' perceptions of imperialism do not affect their perceptions of empowerment, rejecting most of the research hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications highlight that within an imperialistic tourism development model, there is not relationship between imperialims and empowerment. tourism.

Gateway community stakeholders’ perceived impacts of protected area management actions: The case of North Carolina (U.S.) state parks

Many protected area managers contend with increasing demand and insufficient funding (e.g., overcrowding, overuse, maintenance shortfalls, and staffing shortages). To combat these challenges, managers are exploring management actions (i.e., differential pricing, amenity pricing, reservation systems, and demand-based pricing) to increase revenue and distribute or reduce visitor use during peak times. However, implementation of these management actions may displace visitors, affecting gateway community stakeholders (e.g., park staff, affiliated nonprofits, tourism operators, destination management/marketing organizations (DMO), and elected officials) who benefit from state parks. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the effects these actions may have on gateway community stakeholders. Utilizing Weber's theory of formal and substantive rationality (WTFSR) coupled with the triple bottom line (economic, environmental, and social impacts), we conducted a concurrent, nested mixed methods study with 25 gateway community stakeholders of North Carolina State Parks (NCSP). Analysis of 25 semi-structured interviews and embedded rating and ranking questions provided a deeper understanding of stakeholders' preferred management actions, motivations for those preferences, and perceived impacts of NCSP management actions. Apart from demand-based pricing, gateway community stakeholders expressed overall positive economic, environmental, and social sentiments towards the proposed management actions, suggesting a suite of actions may be ideal for increasing revenue and distributing or reducing visitor use during peak times in protected areas. Management implications•Gateway community stakeholders can effectively differentiate between suites of management options to enhance environmental protections, community benefits, and profits.•State resident discounts, amenity pricing, and reservation systems were all highly ranked across multiple stakeholder groups, suggesting NCSP has multiple options to increase revenue and distribute or reduce visitor use during peak times. However, demand-based pricing had limited support from stakeholders suggesting NCSP should prioritize other management actions. The varying levels of support for management actions makes it crucial for NCSP to communicate their management action decisions with stakeholders.•Protected area managers must sustain relationships with gateway community stakeholders to be able to understand stakeholders' perspectives on the impacts of management actions.•Beyond NC, this study provides a strategy for protected areas facing similar challenges to assess how management actions may impact gateway community stakeholders or other key stakeholders (e.g., park users, underserved communities).

The Authority and Domination of Kyai in Forming Religious Discourse and Practice in Islamic Boarding Schools

This article discusses the authority of the kiai and its dominance in an effort to construct religious discourse and practice in a pesantren. In the reasoning construction of pesantren, kyai is the single figure of the highest authority. On the other side, pesantren is a homogeneous educational institution that allows students (santri) from various socio-religious backgrounds to study religion in one place. The diversity of the background of the santri is very likely to be ignored by the kiai as the holder of the highest religious authority and effect to the practice of domination. In this case, the author conducted a study at the LSQ ar-Rohmah Islamic Boarding School, Bantul, Yogyakarta. This research is a qualitative research using two reading theories, Max Weber's theory of authority and Pierre Bourdieu's theory of dominance. The results of this study indicate that the kiai as the highest authority holder reflects at least two models of authority at once, charismatic authority because of his scientific capacity and traditional authority inherited from his predecessors. As the holder of authority and strengthened by the accumulation of economic capital, culture and symbols, the kiai has full power in formulating, determining and directing religious discourses and practices that take place in pesantren. Meanwhile, santri as a dominated group are only able to practice religious discourses and practices as part of the pesantren curriculum.

The Bureaucratization of the Romanian Education System from a Weberian Perspective

Abstract The study aims to identify the causes and effects of the bureaucratization of the Romanian education system, in relation to the Weberian theory of bureaucracy. The principles of bureaucracy, enunciated by Max Weber, are discussed and the way they are taken into account and perceived in the case of education in Romania is followed. The study also aims to compare Romania with other countries (Finland, Spain and the United Kingdom) in terms of the perception of bureaucracy. The main results of the other research show that the countries mentioned follow a pragmatic approach, while the Romanian education system prefers a bureaucratic approach. This difference results from the standards that are lacking in Romanian education, both at management level and in terms of educational activities themselves. In pre-university education in Romania, for example, there is a culture of control, without a clear picture of what a high-performing school means, school inspections become only a bureaucratic action, without really measuring the quality of teachers and education. In higher education, bureaucracy is confirmed by the permanent appointment of rectors or by other legislative decisions that burden universities with tasks that should be carried out by other institutions. The new education laws in Romania increase the bureaucracy already existing in the education system, and all this is the result of misunderstanding and misapplication of the principles of bureaucracy.

Social Action of the Main Character in Oliver Bowden's Assassin's Creed: Renaissance Novel

This research explores the various forms of social action exhibited by the protagonist, Ezio Auditore, in Oliver Bowden's novel Assassin's Creed: Renaissance. Drawing from Max Weber's theory of social action, the research categorizes these actions into four types: instrumental rationality action, value-oriented action, affective action, and traditional action. The data for the study consists of sentences, paragraphs, and dialogues describing Ezio Auditore's social actions in the novel, analyzed using a descriptive method with a sociology of literature approach. The data analysis reveals the frequency of each action type, with affective action being the most prevalent by ten data, followed by value rational action with eight data, rational instrumental action with five data, and traditional action with two data. Additionally, the study identifies four main goals pursued by the character: seeking revenge, uncovering conspiracies, eradicating the Templar order, and protecting Florence. The predominant use of rational instrumental action and the lower occurrence of value rational action in pursuing these goals are highlighted. These findings offer insights into Ezio Auditore's motivations and behaviors, shedding light on the social dynamics depicted in the novel.

Self-Preservation and Salvation: How Democracy Functions in a Disenchanted World

The concept of "disenchantment" (Entzauberung) was first mentioned by the famous German poet Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller in his poem The Gods of Greece. In the poem, he mentioned that the gods in mythology ruled over man and all creatures, the world was full of beauty and love, and all things performed miracles. When Christ God became the only God, the miracles faded, and mankind was lost. Disenchantment theory and democratic institutions are central to Max Weber's theory. On the basis of combining the two, this paper studies how democracy functions in a disenchanted world from two perspectives: self-preservation and salvation. Findings suggest that democracy can inject some elements of quasi-charisma into an otherwise spiritually deadened situation. In a post-disenchantment world, a democratic system led by a strong leader will save people's spiritual world in a mutually empowering way through both self-preservation and salvation. Self-preservation within democracy signifies individuals' expression of free will through leader selection. Salvation in democracy entails placing trust in elected leaders to bring about happiness and national prosperity.

Strategies for Managing Former Coal Mine Land as a Tourism Destination (Case Study of Gubang Park, Loa Ulung Village, Kutai Kartanegara Regency)

Kutai Kartanegara Regency has abundant coal reserves but has become an area that leaves many pits without reclamation, leading to casualties.

Rasionalitas Pengambilan Keputusan Feeder Dan Surabaya Bus Terhadap Nasib Sopir Angkutan Umum Konvensional Menurut Teori Rasionalitas Max Weber

The city of Surabaya with a population that has high mobility certainly requires transportation to support population activities. As a city with a high population, the city of Surabaya certainly faces various problems in public transportation services, one of which is congestion. To overcome this problem, the Surabaya City Government launched the Suroboyo bus and Wira Wiri fleets as alternative public transportation to overcome vehicle density in the city of Surabaya. However, the existence of Suroboyo Bus and Wira Wiri Suroboyo as public transportation that covers almost the entire area of ​​Surabaya City, leaves questions about what will happen to drivers of conventional public transportation such as angkot or lyn which have previously been the choice of public transportation for the people of Surabaya City. It cannot be denied that the existence of Suroboyo Bus and Wira Wiri Suroboyo has caused a decrease in demand for conventional public transportation passengers. The aim of this research is to describe the rationality of Surabaya Bus and Wira Wiri decision making regarding conventional public transportation according to Max Weber's theory of rationality. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. In research using literature or literature studies, the results can be obtained that Surabaya Bus and Wira Wiri's decision making regarding conventional public transportation does not fully fulfill the forms of rationality proposed by Max Weber.

Rasionalitas Kebijakan Desentralisasi Pendidikan di Provinsi Lampung (Kenyataan dan Harapan)

This research uses Max Weber's theory of rationality to describe the reality, hopes, and rationality of educational decentralization, which are included in the rational category or vice versa. Data was collected through interviews, and observations related to the phenomenon of reality, hopes, and rationality of educational decentralization in Lampung Province and analyzed qualitatively. The research results show that in reality, the education decentralization policy in Lampung Province is rational. Based on instrumental theory, guaranteed education costs (free school), educational infrastructure and educational scholarships can support the ability of decentralization policies. Rationality in the value at which individuals decide to continue or not to continue their education is relatively stable at the basic education level in Lampung province. In the affective rationale, the conditions between individual objects of education such as students and teachers are the spearhead of education at the lower level. Education personnel must shape the character of their students in line with freedom of learning in the world of education. However, traditional rationality, namely custom, ethnicity and religion, does not influence education decentralization policies. The hope for the future is that the decentralization of education in Lampung Province requires strengthening each region's commitment so that progressive education is implemented evenly and cannot be separated from the responsibility of the regional government.

Godfatherism and Nigeria's 2023 General Elections: The Case of Delta State

This paper focuses on the issue of godfatherism and its impact on the 2023 general elections, with a particular emphasis on Delta State, Nigeria. It raises questions about certain facets of Nigeria's democratic governance that have not been adequately examined, raising questions about the nation's unique problems. The February 2023 general elections in Nigeria were not without flaws as usual, and many issues militating against the consolidation of democratic rule in Delta state since 1999 are ubiquitous. The study considers the role of the godfather in facilitating or stunting democratic growth in Nigeria in general and Delta State in particular. Usurping the place of the masses through their manipulative tendencies of selecting candidates instead of free, fair, and credible elections or the abuse of the rule of law are common in the polity. The historical method of description and analysis was adopted, underpinned by Marx Weber's theory of power, to interpret the work further. The study interrogated both primary and secondary sources related to it. Primary sources, such as oral interviews and newspapers, and secondary sources, such as books, news magazines, and online publications, were consulted. The study revealed that godfathers are gatekeepers in the polity, and their functions are overbearing to the masses. The study also identified that because the masses are not allowed to vote or their votes no longer count, Godfathers select leaders who are not representative of the people and are not accountable to them. The findings further indicate that forcing the godfather out of politics may be dangerous, considering their power and position in the government. It, therefore, concludes making laws that will accommodate them might be a better alternative. Keywords: Godfatherism, Impact, 2023 elections, Delta State, Nigeria.

The structure of parents’ social actions on the zonation policy for new students’ admission

The Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Bureaucratic Decision-making: A Weberian Perspective

This work questions AI´s role in bureaucratic decision-making. The Weberian conception of bureaucracy, based around the concept of an ideal bureaucracy in which authority is distributed, delegated, clearly delimited and hierarchical and that enshrines the following of formal rules, task specialization through division of labor, legal certainty and a predilection for efficiency in recordable and accountable decisions can serve as a framework to orient how governments should approach the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) given the many problems associated with its careless deployment. Using theoretical analysis, this work explains Weberian ideas of bureaucracy and contrasts them with real-life cases of implementation of AI in bureaucratic decision-making, often with detrimental results for society. After identifying and framing issues related to AI, e.g., lack of transparency, attempts to shift accountability from humans to technology, the exacerbation of bias and potential for systemic discrimination, the paper proposes Weberian prescriptions that should help public administration make careful decisions about the adoption of AI and the consequences of its implementation. The article also engages with Weber critically, rejecting the notion that public administrators do not engage in politics and asserting that AI decision-making is necessarily political as well, as it entails exercising power over citizens.
