Readers are welcome to contribute their own thoughtprovoking pieces or those of others that they have come across. Please send three type-written copies of the article to Professor Ranjit Gupta. Where are the workers of yesteryear? The transformation of the role of the proletariat has been caused by several developments, chief among which are the increasing trend of automation in the production processes in the industrial world, and the emergence of a hybrid proletariat in the Third World. Judging by the growing trend in displacement of labour by machines, it seems that the future centre of growth of revolutionary consciousness will no longer be the shopfloor, but the streets. Approach to cultural planning: Planning for access to culture for the masses involves planning for their access to the fruits of material production. There is thus an indissoluble bond between economic planning and cultural planning. Further, the economic structure will also determine the scope and quality of culture. If this structure promotes a balance between competition and cooperation, and surplus accumulation without class exploitation in production process, only then will possibilities emerge for the growth of a cultural superstructure of a new type. Distortion of economic life or alienation in economic life is the basic source of disorientation in the cultural life of a country.

Abstract  In the discourse of performing art creations, there is an assumption that creating art works is not categorized as a scientific, based on a personal taste and instinctive. This article uses a qualitative research with the performing arts approach. By using ethnographic methods, this article focuses on the role of performers in the process of creating the performing arts. Data are collected through interviews, library research, and document studies. As an object of study, 5 (five) outstanding works will be discussed, namely: Terompong Beruk (1982), Bali Agung (2010), Ratricetana (2011), Terompong Beruk Bangkok (2015), and Stri Wiroda (2015). The results of this study indicate that the models of creative as parts of important processes in creating performances are diverse. Through researching creative processes of the works, performers can create new type of works that are different from others, and distinctive from previous works. The novelty of the creative processes contains the quality of aestethic in forms and contents, as well as their values and functions. Keywords: research, creative processes, new creations, performing arts. Abstrak Dalam pewacanaan hasil penciptaan seni pertunjukan, masih ada anggapan bahwa menciptakan karya seni itu sesuatu yang tidak ilmiah dan hanya berdasarkan selera dan insting belaka. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan seni pertunjukan, dengan menggunakan metode etnografi, dengan fokus pada pencipta/seniman seni pertunjukan. Data-data yang dikumpulkan didapat melalui observasi, wawancara, riset kepustakaan, dan studi dokumen. Sebagai objek kajian, akan dibahas 5 (lima) buah karya cipta  seni pertunjukan yang berbasis penelitian, yaitu: Terompong Beruk (1982), Bali Agung (2010), Ratricetana (2011), Terompong Beruk Bangkok (2015), dan Stri Wiroda (2015).  Adapun hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa model proses kreatif yang sangat penting dalam penciptaan seni pertunjukan itu sangat beragam. Melalui penelitian mengenai kajian proses kreatif tersebut dapat dihasilkan karya seni pertunjukan kreasi baru yang berbeda satu sama lain, dan berbeda dari proses kreatif karya sebelumnya. Nilai kebaruan proses kreatif itu mengandung keindahan bentuk dan isi, serta nilai dan fungsinya.   Kata-kata kunci: penelitian, proses kreatif, penciptaan, seni pertunjukan

Theory Of Complexity

The paper focuses on the problem of actualizing the role of science as a complex system in the prospects of development of society and man. The development of science is shown to have led to the formation and assertion of information and digital reality. It has accelerated the pace of globalization in all spheres of life— from obtaining information to knowledge, from the expansion of visual communication to stimulating the movement of people, technology and finance. At the same time, the introduction of scientific innovations deepens the polarization of countries, continents and regions in terms of technological potential. The growing complexity of the modern world can be realized by appropriate complex thinking. The paper has revealed the main stages of formation of a new type of personality capable of understanding the complex world, independent decision-making, in the process of cognition and freedom of behavior in a situation of radical transformation of values of science and culture. The dynamics of changes in science, technology, socio-cultural and economic life is determined as well. This situation gives rise to a new “reflective society”, corresponding to the initial levels of information theory of complexity, in the context of which human activity becomes non-linear, innovative and chaotic. It is emphasized that understanding the dynamics of a complex world and its systems stimulates the emergence of new approaches in management theory. In their context, the task of forming complex thinking is set, the ways of its active introduction into the culture of scientific knowledge and learning are determined.

The Military

This chapter examines the position of independent power enjoyed by the military in many countries, especially in the Third World. It begins with a discussion of what may be called the autonomous power of great organization, a power that acts with particular force in the case of the military establishment. It then considers two primary constraints on organization power in economic life: external authority over what is produced —in civilian life, the ultimate decision of consumers; and the flow of purchasing power—in economic terms, the effective demand—that is available for the purchase of the good or service. It also explores the emergence of a largely autonomous military establishment standing above and apart from democratic control, along with the series of foreign ventures designed ostensibly to prevent Communism from spreading but with the further purpose of justifying the expanding role of the military by providing a presumed enemy.

The Relationship

This chapter reviews the literature on the relationship between the quality of government (QoG) and economic growth. As there is limited evidence on the link between QoG narrowly defined and growth, our focus is on the role of related aspects, such as democracy, formal institutions, and cultural norms. We discuss institutional challenges in generating and sustaining high growth rates. We then review the evidence on how QoG, and related aspects of political and economic life, affect growth and pay attention to the relevant channels. We also discuss whether it is harder to sustain growth if it increases inequality. Since a government needs to be both efficient and impartial to support aggregate economic performance, we argue that it is too strict to let QoG be defined as impartiality only.

In the last few decades, the subject of trust has become one of the central research topics in sociology and political science. Various theoretical approaches have crystallized, and an immense amount of empirical data has been collected. The focus on trust is for two kinds of reasons. One has to do with immanent developments in the social sciences. We have witnessed a turn from almost exclusive preoccupation with the macro-social level, that is the organizational, systemic or structuralist images of society, toward the micro-foundations of social life; that is, everyday actions and interactions, including their ‘soft’ dimensions, mental and cultural intangibles and imponderables. Another set of reasons has to do with the changing quality of social structures and social processes in the late-modern period. The ascendance of democracy means that the role of human agency is growing, and more depends on what common people think and do, how they feel toward others and toward their rulers and how they choose to participate and cooperate. The process of globalization means that more and more of the factors impinging on everyday life of people are non-transparent, unfamiliar and distant, demanding new type of attitudes. The expansion of risk means that people have to act more often than before in conditions of uncertainty. The traumas of rapid, comprehensive and often unexpected social change produce disorientation and a loss of existential security. If the ambition of sociology to become the reflexive awareness of society is to be realized, then the current interest in trust seems to be wholly warranted.

The Way

Research concerning children and childhood has been developing on the background of the evolution of different narrations (discourses) about a child. After the Convention on the rights of the child, narrations on the children’s rights and then about child well-being and the quality of children’s life became the very meaningful. As a consequence, a new type of research on childhood has been developing which has some specific foundations as for the object and procedures used. In the paper an attempt to expose main methodological assumptions of the new paradigm is presented, the role of subjective treatment of children in research and some patterns of childhood studies. This paradigm is dedicated to pedagogues, especially social pedagogues, as the way of researching childhoods close to their perception of studies as socially engaged and as interdisciplinary in the spectrum of exploration.

Nowadays, due to economic dynamics, modernity, technology and urban sprawl, humans are suffering from “placelessness”. A look at the urban fabric of metropolitan cities makes evident that public places are losing their distinctive idiosyncrasies. 21st-century built environments are diminishing the unique characters that make places noteworthy. The problem with this is that people have the desire to associate with distinctive places. Ignoring this tendency will create a type of environment where places do not matter any more. Public spaces that serve as platforms for life are not only essential to the identity of cities but also provide venues for social-cultural activities that will attract people. This thesis aims to investigate the role of architecture in increasing the quality of people’s daily experiences in the public domain, and to explore opportunities to frame a new type of public market place in Toronto by imbuing ‘The Architecture of Place’ with ‘a sense of place’.
