This paper discusses the biography of K.H. Abdul Halim, a cleric, educator, political activist, a national hero, who was born in Jatiwangi, Majalengka, West Java on June 26, 1887 and died on May 7, 1962, in a peaceful and quiet place, Santi Asromo, Majalengka. The title of the National Hero from the Government of Indonesia was granted on the basis of his important roles in education, economics and politics. Among his legacy are the religious educational institutions, namely Santi Asromo Pesantren, the religious organization of the Islamic Ummah Union (PUI), and several books such as the Kitab Petunjuk bagi Sekalian Manusia (Manual for Man), Ekonomi dan Koperasi dalam Islam (Economics and Cooperative in Islam), dan Ketetapan Pengajaran di Sekolah Ibtidaiyah Persyarikatan Ulama (The Teaching Decrees at Ibtidaiyah Persyarikatan Ulama School). His biography is a manifestation of appreciation for his services and works, his struggle and his devotion to science and people, as well as his role and contribution in building the nation of Indonesia with noble character and dignity. Another milestone of his is the value of the struggle and at the same time his Islamic scholarship can be an example for the younger generation in particular and for anyone who aspires to build a nation of Indonesia which is based on the Belief in One God, fair and civilized, united in the context of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

Citizenship Orientations

Prior studies revealed that low levels of youth political activity are not necessarily indicative of complete disengagement from societal affairs but could be accompanied by interest and latent involvement stemming from a standby or monitorial attitude. However, no prior study has investigated patterns of citizenship orientations including both manifest and latent engagement defined by one’s position towards institutional politics, according to different forms of participation. A questionnaire was filled out by 1,732 late adolescents and young adults in Italy (15–30 years old, M = 19.73, 60.7% female). Cluster analysis identified six profiles of citizenship orientations across different types of participatory activities (political, activist, political online and civic): active trustful, active distrustful, standby trustful, standby distrustful, unengaged trustful and unengaged distrustful. The results showed that each level of engagement—active, standby and unengaged—could be further differentiated between trustful and distrustful based on their attitude towards institutions and the electoral process.

Political Activist

Of the conservative theorists who rose to prominence during the last years of the Weimar Republic, none stood more directly in the eye of the storm that descended upon Germany in 1933–34 than Edgar Julius Jung (1894–1934). His Die Herrschaft der Minderwertigen, first published in 1927 and then again in a revised and expanded edition in 1930, has been called the bible of German neo-conservatism and played a major role in crystallizing antidemocratic sentiment against the Weimar Republic. But Jung was more than a theorist; he was also a political activist deeply committed to a conservative regeneration (Erneuerung) of the German state. In 1930–31, for example, Jung was actively involved in the efforts of the People's Conservative Association (Volkskonservative Vereinigung or VKV) to create a new conservative movement to the left of the German National People's Party (Deutschnationale Volkspartei or DNVP) after its takeover by film and press magnate Alfred Hugenberg.

For many people, Angela Davis is, first and foremost, an icon of the 1960s, a near-mythic figure of that turbulent era and the many radical social causes we now associate with those years. She has spent five decades writing about racial capitalism, the political economy, woman and the prison–industrial complex. However, behind the icon and the image is a longer and more complicated story, one that today has important lessons for social workers and other activists alike. This article will trace her personal history, examine her political trajectory, provide an overview of a few of her principal writings and briefly discuss her connection with the theory and practice of social work.

The Way

This article includes material from a work-in-progress, Barbara Harlow’s major book on South African writer and political activist, Ruth First, assassinated in 1982. Ruth First’s own life followed many paths, intersecting along the way with several historical trajectories, national narratives that remain incomplete today, and political events and eventualities that are still being negotiated, contested and resisted. The author follows these paths in an attempt to locate a framework and a direction for writing what she calls a bio-bibliography, an intellectual biography that is at once a political history.

To Receive

The writings of the Black Marxist-Leninist thinker and activist C. L. R. James are now widely known and studied, although most of his long career was passed in obscurity. His two most influential books, The Black Jacobins (1938) and Beyond a Boundary (1963) now have a global impact. But his work did not begin to receive wide recognition until the 1980s and 1990s. And it is the nature of that recognition, and the ends to which his work has been put in the US academy, that this article explores. In critiquing a wide range of influential theoretical approaches to James’ work, the author relates current interpretations of it to the wider political and cultural climate engendered by neoliberalism, with its emphasis on the individual not as a historical agent, but as primarily concerned with self-fashioning and cultural identity. In the process, the article demonstrates how the political activist thrust of James’ analyses and work, and its concerns with imperialism and resistance, has been set aside as part of the corporate world’s continuing appropriation of the ‘alternative and adversarial culture of the 1960s’.

Social Cognitive Career

Dr. Angela Y. Davis is a political activist, academician, and writer who has navigated and discussed issues of race, class, gender, and USA social policies across her 75 years of life. Davis’s activism established her as the icon of a larger social movement and further related to her decision-making and legacy. Using psychobiographical methods, data were gathered through publicly available sources to explore Davis’s personal, professional, and representational life, as well as understand Davis’s lived experience through a socio-cultural-historical perspective. Two established theories, Social Cognitive Career Theory and Politicized Collective Identity model, were applied to Davis’s life. Findings suggested that in addition to her unique intersectional identities, a confluence of factors including growing up in a family of activists, incarceration, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) surveillance, Communist Party involvement, marginalization within activist spaces, and practicing radical self-care impacted Davis committing to a life as an activist, academic, and the leader of a social movement.

Method Of Instruction

RESUMO: Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma experiência de intervenção em situação de trabalho docente baseada no método de instrução ao sósia, elaborado por Ivar Oddone – médico, psicólogo e militante político italiano que figurou como um dos líderes do Modelo Operário Italiano (MOI) de luta para a saúde do trabalhador nos locais de trabalho – e seu grupo (1981, 1986) no contexto de formação continuada dos trabalhadores da Fiat nos anos 1970, tendo inspirado empreendimentos no campo da saúde do trabalhador no Brasil a partir da década de 1980. Esse método foi reinterpretado por Clot na Clínica da Atividade (1999, 2001, 2006, 2017) com o intento de produzir conhecimentos para a ação e promover transformações em outros contextos laborais. A intervenção foi realizada com duas docentes de língua italiana do Circolo Italiano San Paolo e, posteriormente, transformada em uma pesquisa exploratória (GIL, 2008). Nossa proposta é comentar os referenciais teóricos, descrever o contexto de intervenção e as etapas a partir das quais os dados coletados foram analisados à luz das teorias que fundamentam a pesquisa derivada da intervenção e, por fim, apresentar as conclusões acerca da importância da instrução ao sósia, no referido contexto, para a formação de um coletivo e a ampliação do poder de agir (CLOT, 2010) das docentes.Palavras-chave: Instrução ao sósia.

Questo metodo è stato reinterpretato da Clot presso la Clinica dell’Attività (1999, 2001, 2006, 2017) con l’intenzione di produrre conoscenza per l'azione e promuovere cambiamenti in altri contesti di lavoro. L’intervento è stato realizzato con due insegnanti di lingua italiana del Circolo Italiano San Paolo e, successivamente, si è trasformato in una ricerca esplorativa (GIL, 2008). La nostra proposta è di commentare il quadro teorico, descrivere il contesto dell’intervento e le fasi a partire dalle quali sono stati analizzati i dati raccolti alla luce delle teorie che stanno alla base della ricerca derivata dall’intervento e, infine, presentare le conclusioni sull’importanza delle istruzioni al sosia, nel contesto della ricerca, per la formazione di un collettivo e l’espansione del potere di azione (CLOT, 2010) delle docenti.Parole chiavi: Istruzioni al sosia.

This method was reinterpreted by Clot at Clinic of Activity (1999, 2001, 2006, 2017) with the intention of producing knowledge for action and promoting changes in other work contexts. The intervention was carried out with two Italian language Italian teachers from the Circolo Italiano San Paolo and, later, transformed into an exploratory research (GIL, 2008). Our proposal is to comment on the theoretical frameworks, describe the context of intervention and the steps from which the data collected were analyzed in the light of the theories that underlie the research derived from the intervention and, finally, present the conclusions about the importance of instruction to the double, in that context, for the formation of a collective and the expansion of the power of action (CLOT, 2010) of teachers.Keywords: Instruction to the double.
