The 19Th Century

The research is based on the assumption that literary works written in the second half of the 19th century were the result of the efforts of the Dutch colonial government to incorporate the ideology of colonialism in culture field, and tried to instill modern ideas from the West through literacy activities. Some of these texts are stories written in short prose that are realistic. The story of "Hibat" is one of them. Based on the narrative characteristics, it can be concluded that the story can be regarded as a Sundanese short story embryo in its modern concept. The analysis of the story "Hibat" was carried out with the aim of finding the form of writing configuration and its narrative characteristics so that the elements of the story were found to be different from the traditions of the previous story writing. Through descriptive methods and structural analysis techniques, it is known that the story "Hibat" is unique and different when compared to the tradition of story writing in more traditional Sundanese. The story shows new features including its configuration written in short prose, leaving the tradition of old story writing that indulges in fantasy, myths, and irrationality, and written with the awareness of wanting to portray everyday life in its environment. The implications of this study must be corrective efforts in the history of Sundanese literature, which considered the birth of Sundanese short stories beginning with the emergence of the Parahiangan magazine (1929-1942) and the publication of Dogdog Pangréwong by G.S. in 1930.AbstrakPenelitian ini didasarkan pada asumsi bahwa karya sastra yang ditulis pada paruh kedua abad ke-19 adalah hasil dari upaya pemerintah kolonial Belanda untuk memasukkan ideologi kolonialisme dalam bidang budaya, dan mencoba menanamkan ide-ide modern dari Barat melalui kegiatan literasi. Beberapa dari teks-teks tersebut adalah cerita yang ditulis dalam prosa pendek yang realistik. Cerita "Hibat" adalah salah satunya. Berdasarkan ciri-ciri naratifnya, dapat disimpulkan bahwa cerita “Hibat” dapat dianggap sebagai embrio cerita pendek Sunda dalam konsepnya yang modern. Analisis cerita "Hibat" dilakukan dengan tujuan menemukan bentuk konfigurasi penulisan dan ciri-ciri naratifnya sehingga ditemukan unsur-unsur cerita yang berbeda dari tradisi penulisan cerita sebelumnya. Melalui metode deskriptif dan teknik analisis struktural, diketahui bahwa cerita "Hibat" mengandung keunikan dan berbeda jika dibandingkan dengan tradisi penulisan cerita dalam bahasa Sunda yang lebih tradisional. Cerita ini menunjukkan unsur-unsur baru antara lain konfigurasinya ditulis dalam prosa pendek, meninggalkan tradisi penulisan cerita lama yang menonjolkan fantasi, mitos, dan irasionalitas, serta ditulis dengan kesadaran ingin menggambarkan kehidupan sehari-hari di lingkungan pengarangnya. Implikasi dari penelitian ini harus ada upaya korektif dalam sejarah sastra Sunda, yang menganggap kelahiran cerita pendek Sunda dimulai dengan munculnya majalah Parahiangan (1929-1942) dan penerbitan buku Dogdog Pangréwong karangan G.S pada tahun 1930.

The paper deals with socio-cultural factors, terminological collisions and modi of the idea of responsibility in the West European socio-cultural space. Main attention is paid to shaping of the idea of responsibility in socio-cultural circumstances of the mid of the 20th – the beginning of the 21st centuries. The first part of the paper outlines the preliminary history of the modern concept of responsibility, peculiarities of the problem in Aristotle’s "The Nicomachean Ethics" are observed as well as the idea of accountability (imputatio) in ethics of P. Abelard in modi of moral guilt and offense. It is mentioned that in Pre-modern culture idea of responsibility is developed in the context of the freedom of human action, one’s capability to keep an answer for one’s actions and to admit guilt. It is specified that in philosophy of Modernity the notion imputatio is represented in I. Kant’s philosophy. Although Kant did not put the problem of accountability as the cornstone of his philosophy, he had defined conditions for possibility of agent’s accountability in such a way that his ideas are at the background of the main conceptions of responsibility of the 20th century. Further in the paper development of the problem around the term Verantwortung (responsibility) is observed. In particular, M. Weber’s ethics of responsibility (in comparison to ethics of conviction) is analyzed. The paper pays attention to the of H. Arendt’s conception of lost generations, and grounds of the problem of responsibility actualization in the sense of life search of these generations are analyzed. The first part of the paper is finished by the analysis of the conception of guilt and responsibility by K. Jaspers who applied to the problem in the context of comprehension of the axiological space of postwar Germany.

Uncertain Future

For three centuries Africans were trafficked to slave for Europeans in the West Indies. Forcibly uprooted from their homes, they carried only recollections of a way of life as they faced an uncertain future while enduring gruelling conditions. Unversed in the enslavers’ language and custom, their past was mentally retained and transmitted through oral expressions and cultural products. Yet, the history of libraries as repositories of knowledge gives credit to all newcomers except these Africans. This paper proposes the modern concept of a library supports African slaves’ cultural retention and transmission of knowledge as important in the development of life in the West Indies.
