Yogyakarta adalah kota yang unik dan istimewa, salah satunya karena adanya filosofi tentang garis imajiner. Garis imajiner itu sudah menjadi wacana lama, tetapi tetap menarik untuk menjadi pembahasan. Kota ini terbelah sebuah oleh sumbu imajiner yang menghubungkan Gunung Merapi – Tugu Pal Putih – Keraton – Panggung Krapyak – Parangtritis. Dilihat dari peta, juga bisa dilihat jika Merapi, Keraton, dan Pantai Selatan ini memang berada di satu garis lurus secara imajiner. Filosofi garis lurus imajiner dari Merapi hingga Laut Selatan ini sarat makna. Untuk masyarakat di Yogyakarta, Gunung Merapi, Laut Selatan, dan Keraton Yogyakarta mengandung makna penting. Kehidupan di dunia merupakan sebuah harmoni antara mikrokosmos (jagat cilik) dan makrokosmos (jagat gede). Keharmonisan itu harus dijaga satu sama lain, tidak boleh terjadi ketimpangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah bagaimana melakukan eksplorasi pemotretan udara atas poros imajiner dikaitkan dengan teknis kreatif dan aspek estetis yang dapat mengungkap kekhasan wilayah Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Pemotretan yang akan dilakukan adalah pemotretan melalui udara menggunakan drone, sebuah peralatan dan teknologi baru yang sedang berkembang dalam dunia fotografi saat ini. Lokasi yang akan direkam dan didokumentasikan adalah lima titik yang ada dalam poros imajiner tersebut, yaitu Gunung Merapi, Tugu Pal Putih, Keraton, Panggung Krapyak, dan Parangtritis. Salah satu kekuatan dalam fotografi udara dengan menggunakan drone adalah keleluasaan dalam menempatkan kamera. Keleluasaan penempatan kamera tersebut membuka ruang eksplorasi dalam mengambil gambar dari berbagai sudut yang berbeda. Gambar dari sudut yang berbeda tersebut dapat memberikan cara pandang yang berbeda pula. Hal ini berarti ruang hampir tidak terbatas untuk mengekplorasi berbagai sudut yang mungkin sulit dijangkau ketika menggunakan medium fotografi lainnya. ABSTRACTAerial Photography Technical Exploration of the Special Region of Yogyakarta’s Imaginary Axis. Yogyakarta is a unique and special city, one of them is because of the philosophy of the Imaginary Line. Although the imaginary line has become an old discourse, it is still interesting to be discussed. The city is split by an imaginary axis connecting Mount Merapi - Tugu Pal Putih - Keraton - Panggung Krapyak –Parangtritis.  Explored from the map, it can also be seen that Merapi, Keraton and South Coast are indeed in one imaginary straight line. The philosophy of imaginary straight lines from Merapi to the South Sea is full of meaning. For people in Yogyakarta, Mount Merapi, the South Sea, and Yogyakarta Palace, they have their own important meaninga. Life in the world is a harmony between the microcosm (the universe) and the macrocosm (big universe). The harmony must be maintained with each other, inequality must not occur.  The purpose of this study is to explore aerial photography of an imaginary axis associated with creative technical and aesthetic aspects that can reveal the peculiarities of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The photos taken are aerial photography using Drones, a new equipment and technology that is developing in the world of photography today. The locations that were recorded and documented were the five points in the imaginary axis, namely Mount Merapi, Tugu Pal Putih, Keraton, Panggung Krapyak, and Parangtritis. One of the strengths in aerial photography using drones is the flexibility in placing the camera. The flexibility of placing the camera opens an exploration of space in taking pictures from different angles, because images from different angles can provide a different perspective. This means there is an unlimited space to explore various angles that may be difficult to reach when using other photography mediums.

Drawing on field research and a survey of 150 Zimbabwean migrants in Johannesburg, this paper explores the dimensions of migrants’ transnational experiences in the urban space. I discuss the use of communication platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook as well as other means such as telephone calls in fostering the embedding of transnational migrants within both the Johannesburg and the Zimbabwean socio-economic environments. I engage this migrant-embedding using Bourdieusian concepts of “transnational habitus” and “transnational social field,” which are migration specific variations of Bourdieu’s original concepts of “habitus” and “social field.” In deploying these Bourdieusian conceptual tools, I observe that the dynamics of South–South migration as observed in the Zimbabwean migrants are different to those in the South–North migration streams and it is important to move away from using the same lens in interpreting different realities. For Johannesburg-based migrants to operate within the socio-economic networks produced in South Africa and in Zimbabwe, they need to actively acquire a transnational habitus. I argue that migrants’ cultivation of networks in Johannesburg is instrumental, purposive, and geared towards achieving specific and immediate goals, and latently leads to the development and sustenance of flexible forms of permanency in the transnational urban space.

Film Unyil puppet comes not just part of the entertainment world that can be enjoyed by people from the side of the story, music, and dialogue. However, there is more value in it which is a manifestation of the creator that can be absorbed into the charge for the benefit of educating the children of Indonesia to the public at large. The Unyil puppet created by the father of Drs. Suyadi is one of the works that are now widely known by the whole people of Indonesia. The process of creating a puppet Unyil done with simple materials and formation of character especially adapted to the realities of the existing rural region. Through this process, this research leads to the design process is fundamentally educational puppet inspired by the creation of Si Unyil puppet. The difference is the inspiring character created in this study is on the characters that exist in urban life, especially the city of Jakarta. Thus the results of this study are the pattern of how to shape the design of products through the creation of the puppet with the approach of urban culture.
