This book unites feminist international research with the writing, composing, and production of a musical designed to critique the discourse about the trafficking of women in Thailand. Through writing and producing “Land of Smiles,” a two-act, fifteen-song musical inspired by field research that includes over fifty interviews with female migrant laborers, sex workers, community-based women’s rights activists, non-governmental organization (NGO) employees, and other development actors in Thailand’s anti-trafficking movement, playwright, composer and feminist scholar Erin Kamler presents one of the dominant stories about human trafficking and shows that the voices of the people, most often women, can illuminate the problems and highlight the difficulties in finding solutions. This project was designed to serve as a platform for dialogue among stakeholders in Thailand’s anti-trafficking movement through a three-phase process of uncovering, recovering and articulating the lived experience of the “subject”—the trafficking “victim”—who the movement seeks to rescue, as well as the NGO employees who are embedded in the social catastrophe that underscores this movement. Through researching, writing and performing the musical for the communities on whom its story is based, Kamler shows the importance of lived experience as a framework for understanding social catastrophe, and the power of musical theater in conveying that understanding through a feminist, liberatory praxis. She calls this praxis Dramatization as Research, or DAR.

Development and empowerment are things that are commonly discussed for the progress and change of the nation at this time. One of the efforts of the village government in overcoming the problem of poverty is the formation of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES). This study aims: 1) to explain the social conditions of the people of Teluk Terate Village, 2) to explain how to empower the community's economy through BUMDES. 3) to explain how the results of community economic empowerment through BUMDES. In this study, I used descriptive qualitative research methods with field research. The results of this study indicate that the community feels helped by the existence of BUMDES Sabar Subur. 1) One of them is by sending a number of residents who are unemployed due to low education factors to the Manpower Services Unit, 2) Community economic empowerment through BUMDES runs well through the stages of awareness, training, mentoring and evaluation. And has several business units such as Sharia Microfinance Institution Business Unit (LKMS), Training and Employment Business Unit, Production and Trade Business Unit and Service and Rental Business Unit. 3) With the existence of this business unit, the people of Teluk Terate Village already have a business of cassava chips, catfish farms, and several quite large stalls. And seen from the inhibiting factors, it is hoped that the management of BUMDES can be even better with innovations and new BUMDES board members.

The growing radical and extreme ideologies recently are not only a concern but also a threat to the social relations of harmony and human peace, including in the border region of Kapuas Hulu, Kalimantan. It is important to spread moderate Islamic teaching to counter this extreme ideology to the people in the border region of Kapuas Hulu. This research examines the roles of religious leaders and religious institutions in disseminating moderate Islam in the border region of Kapuas Hulu to counter the growing influence of radical-extremism. This research employs a qualitative method and the data from field research is presented descriptively. This research shows that religious leaders and religious institutions exist in almost every sub-district in the border region. They teach messages of Islamic moderation that include four principles namely the concept of tawasuth-moderate, tawazun-equality, tasamuh-tolerant, and i`tidal. This principle must be strengthened as a foundation in behaving, acting, speaking, socializing, and living in the Indonesian nation and state. It is on these values and principles that religious leaders and religious institutions reinforce their role in preaching, guiding and fostering people in the border region.

The Subject

O construto autoeficácia está relacionado às crenças desenvolvidas pelos indivíduos em relação às ações que confiam poder realizar com sucesso em áreas específicas. É também de grande relevância nos processos de autorregulação dos sujeitos, sendo tais conceitos analisados em diferentes contextos, dentre eles o ambiente educacional, com o propósito de avaliar o comportamento dos estudantes diante dos desafios escolares. A evasão escolar é outro importante aspecto que merece destaque nos processos de avaliação institucional na área de educação, em virtude das consequências sociais, acadêmicas e econômicas. Assim, o presente estudo objetivou investigar conceitos referentes à autoeficácia e à autorregulação acadêmica, a fim de verificar se esses fatores contribuem para prever a evasão escolar, e auxiliar no planejamento de intervenções que possibilitem minimizar a evasão dos alunos. As análises indicaram que tanto a autoeficácia quanto a autorregulação acadêmica tratam-se de variáveis significativas, sendo que, do ponto de vista teórico, representam importantes preditores para a evasão dos estudantes. Portanto, o propósito da pesquisa foi alcançado, mas devido às limitações deste estudo que se baseou apenas em fontes bibliográficas, recomenda-se a realização de novas investigações que contemplem pesquisas de campo em diferentes instituições de ensino, a fim de aprofundar a compreensão sobre o assunto. Palavras-chave: Autoeficácia. Autorregulação Acadêmica. Evasão Escolar. SELF-EFFICACY AND ACADEMIC SELF-REGULATION CONTRIBUTING TO PREDICTIONOF THE ESCOLAR EVASION Abstract: The self-efficacy construct is related to beliefs developed by individuals in relation to the actions that trust can perform successfully in specific areas, it is also of great importance in the processes of academic self-regulation of the people, these concepts have been analyzed in different contexts, including the environment educational, in order to evaluate the behavior of students facing school challenges. The school evasion is another important aspect that deserves attention in institutional assessment processes in the education area, because of the social, academic and economic consequences. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate concepts related to self-efficacy and academic self-regulation to verify if these factors contribute to predict school evasion, and assist in planning interventions that enable minimize the evasion of the students. The analysis indicated that both self-efficacy and academic self-regulation are significant variables, and the theoretical point of view is important predictor for school evasion. Therefore, the purpose of the study was achieved, but due to the limitations of this study that was based only on literature sources, it is recommended to conduct further investigations that include field research in different educational institutions, to deepen understanding about the subject.

The Malay penghulu adat have traditional authority that can direct their people to maintain their own identity and existence. In fact, although the function of these Malay penghulu adat is only in the context of customs and culture, but in some cases these penghulu also influence the implementation of local democracy.  For example, in the election process of the head of the region, although the function of the penghulu adat leader as a leader can direct the tribe and his people, but this function is rarely used because it is contrary to the principle of propriety in Malay custom. Nevertheless, the presence of this penghulu adat remains important to strengthen the legitimacy of the power of the political elite.  This is reasonable because the legitimacy of the Malay customary is very important as a basis for building political support derived from indigenous communities. This article is derived from field research using descriptive qualitative methods. The informants of this research are adat penghulu, members of local elections commissions, bureaucrats, politicians and local academics. This article finds the dimensions of  the Malay penghulu adat authority only used to establish Malay identity by strengthening Malay customs and culture. Moreover, the people of Riau are more complex than the social and cultural aspects. Their involvement gives support to the regional head only in order to preserve Malay culture to be accommodated in local government policy and not in the form of political activity. Therefore it is not surprising that every Riau governor is given the title of Datuk Seri Setia Amanah customs so that those who are given this title take part in preserving Riau Malay culture.

This article reports the production process, realization and result of the documentary “O que é, o que é?”, about Orfanato Cristo Rei’s history and the role it plays in society. Located in Cariacica-ES, it marked the lives of several children when it was an orphanage and today it works as a non-governmental organization that survives only on donations. Currently, the social work serves children in danger who live at the mercy of violence by their own family or the region they live in. The methodologies used to produce the documentary were bibliographic and field research, and semi-structured interviews — they helped with obtaining information and in the recording of the interviews. “O que é, o que é?” contributes to the memory’s rescue and preservation, and allows reflection on the risky situation of many children in society, encouraging viewers to have a new perception on the social vulnerability of children that live in Cariacica and the importance of welcoming and educative social works.

Context The focus of sex work related discussions most commonly falls on female providers of sexual services, and male purchasers. As a result, the often victim-oriented policy response in England and Wales falls short of truly addressing the needs of men who are involved in the sale of sex, with there being limited support available for them and a systemic approach which does not fully recognise the potential for men to face harm within this context. Methods The aim of this study is to explore experiences of and reactions to violence, and otherwise harmful behaviours, faced by men in the context of their sex working, by understanding the lived realities of a sample of men who engage in this type of work. The study takes a phased approach which combines an initial informative quantitative survey, with three subsequent phases of semi-structured interviews with male sex workers, sex work-focused practitioners and police officers. The method is guided by feminist research principles which suggest that reality is situated within those with lived experience, and also by an element of co-creation which has grounded this study within the perspectives of male sex workers from its conception. Findings The findings of this research suggest that all of the men involved in the study had faced at least one of the violent or otherwise harmful behaviours outlined, though reporting of these behaviours was not at all common. Discussions with the male sex working participants, practitioners and the police highlighted the issues related to the structural influences of authority, such as the police, and the social environment, and the internalisation of these wider factors, which create barriers to reporting for groups such as male sex workers and others who face similar social marginalisation. Conclusions This study challenges existing gendered understandings of violence and otherwise harmful behaviour within a sex work context, by highlighting the harmful experiences of men. By exploring these experiences and the reporting behaviours of those involved, the study also proposes a new framework for understanding barriers to reporting, which suggests that these are formed through the influences of formal and informal measures of social control, and the internalisation of these outside influences by the individual. By better understanding the experiences of men, and the barriers to their reporting, this study attempts to nuance a gendered discussion. Within, I propose that in order to better support male sex workers, responses must begin by appreciating the heterogeneity of those involved in sex work and the influence of their individual circumstances and the social environment on their willingness to seek support.

ABSTRACT: The possibility of social change in the Orang Banjar ideology is illustrated in this study. The people of Banjar demonstrate that farming is to be taught for the next generation, not just for the economies alone Bahuma or right farming. This research is field research with a descriptive-analytical approach. This research found that the philosophics of the traditions of Banjar should thrive wherever they are, with the approach of longitude (honesty, trust and fathanah), superficial (persistent and resilient), tugul (diligent and continuity), paibadah (near to God), batarget (sight and a clear mission). This paper is based on al-Qur'an surah Al-Fath verse 29 and al-A'raaf verse 56 and supports Ashabiyah Ibn Khaldun's theory, which emphasizes that three stages tend to change people's thinking, namely the stage of creation, the stage of enjoyment, and the stage of individuality. Likewise, Arnold Toynbee's theory, which suggests that changes that happen in society, whether they are improvement or failure, can be explained by social concepts that are always interrelated, namely challenges and responses.

Tolerance is the key to living comfortably, peacefully and happily. In the life of the people and the nation, tolerance has become the benchmark in realizing the advance of a country, as reflected in the Charter of Medina that the Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h formed a state on the basis of Islamic values, one of which was tolerance. A state or community will embrace safety and peace once its people live in mutual tolerance. In this study, there were three questions needed to be addressed: (1) What is the concept of tolerance in Islam?, (2) What is the attitude of tolerance between religious believers and social tolerance according to Islamic religious education lecturers at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh? and (3) How is the response of the Islamic religious education lecturers of UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh towards the study which concluded that the city of Banda Aceh was of low tolerance? This study used the qualitative approach with field research methods, employing primary and secondary data. The results of the study revealed that the main criterion in defining religious tolerance was found in the Qur’an Surah al-Kafirun verse 6, while that in defining the social tolerance was in Surah an-Nisaa verse 86. The attitude of tolerance that the Prophet p.b.u.h had shown on various occasions was very comprehensive regardless of place and person, in any capacity. Therefore, the attitude of tolerance of the Prophet p.b.u.h had become a reference for every community to this day and he was also dubbed as the role model (Uswatun Hasanah). Responding to the finding of low tolerance in the city of Banda Aceh from a study, most respondents, however, believed otherwise. They agreed that Banda Aceh has already been a very tolerant city in terms of religious and social aspects in Indonesia. Thus, such low tolerance could not be generalized to all aspects and concluded that the city of Banda Aceh was an intolerant city or had a low tolerance level.

Abstract: This article examines efforts to preserve local culture by women in the city of Cilegon. The existence of the bendrong lesung art will be the object of research because the role of women looks so important in this art performance. Women with their bendrong lesung represent the values of strong religiosity. This article is the result of field research using a case study method with a feminist anthropological approach. The researchers used some data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. Bendrong lesung is one of the traditional arts performed by the people of the City of Cilegon, Banten. Historically, this art performance was held in a community tradition in welcoming the harvest as a form of gratitude and happy expression for the efforts that have produced good results. Bendrong lesung as a cultural product represents the social piety identity of women. On its development, women as the main actors have a high awareness of diversity. Thus, beside the identity of social piety that was born in the existence of this bendrong lesung, personal piety identity was also manifested by the players with symbols in the form of the use of the veil covering the genitals to replace the clothes kemban. The existence of the bendrong lesung has witnessed how the piety movement was formed until now.الخلاصة: تتناول هذه المقالة الجهود المبذولة للحفاظ على الثقافة المحلية من قبل النساء في مدينة سيليجون. إن وجود فن الالتواء هو موضوع البحث لأنه في هذا الفن دور المرأة يبدو مهمًا جدًا. تمثل النساء مع غمازاتهن قيم التدين الكثيف. هذه المقالة هي نتيجة البحث الميداني باستخدام طريقة دراسة حالة مع نهج أنثروبولوجي نسوي. في تقنيات جمع البيانات ، يستخدم الباحثون تقنيات تشمل الملاحظة والمقابلات المتعمقة (المقابلات المتعمقة) والتوثيق.
