Work Contract

This article discusses the role of power on the work relations of fishermen and the middle man at Pondok Mimbo. Engagement occurs when the fisherman builds a partnership and accept a work contract, as long as the contract has not been completed. The fisherman must provide the fish catch to the middle man before it is sold to the trader and then share the results according to the work agreement which is 10% to 20% for the middle man from the income of the fisherman. The absence of work contract restrictions makes the relationship so binding because fishermen must comply with the amba system 'or the prevailing norms. As a result, fishermen will continue to be bound to the middle man but, because the relationship is for capital needs, it requires fishermen to pay it to the middle man to be free from the employment contract. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the role of political capital in the relations of fishermen and the middle man. This research method is qualitative, supported by participant observation, and in-depth interviews to collect data. The results showed the existence of power in the work relations of fishermen and the middle man especially in the attitude of compliance, even showing the existence of work competition in the relationship. And each party is cheating work for more profit, whether it's from the fishermen themselves or the middle man. Artikel ini membahas tentang tindakan kuasa atau penggunaan kekuasaan dalam relasi kerja nelayan dan pangamba’ di Pondok Mimbo. Keterikatan terjadi ketika nelayan membangun kerja sama dan menyepakati kontrak kerja dengan pangamba’, tselama kontrak belum selesai maka nelayan harus memberikan hasil tangkapan ikan kepada pangamba’ sebelum di jual ke pedagang yang kemudian dilakukan pembagian hasil sesuai kesepakatan kerja yaitu 10% hingga 20% untuk pangamba’ dari hasil pendapatan nelayan. Tidak adanya batasan kontrak kerja menjadikan relasi tersebut begitu mengikat, karena nelayan harus mematuhi sistim amba’ atau norma yang berlaku. Alhasil, nelayan akan terus terikat dengan pangamba’ namun, karena relasi tersebut untuk kebutuhan modal, mengharuskan nelayan untuk melunasinya kepada pangamba’ agar dapat lepas dari kontrak kerja tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis peran kapital politik dalam relasi nelayan dan pangamba’. Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif, didukung dengan melakukan observasi partisipan dan wawancara mendalam untuk mengumpulkan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukan adanya kekuasaan dalam relasi kerja nelayan dan pangamba’, terutama pada sikap kepatuhan, bahkan menunjukan adanya persaingan kerja dalam relasi tersebut. Selanjurnya, penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa masing-masing pihak melakukan kecurangan kerja demi keuntungan yang lebih, entah itu dari diri nelayan maupun pangamba’.

This article addresses the commemoration of the deceased by examining a peculiar Latvian religious tradition—the cemetery festival. Latvian society is moving down the path to secularization. Participation in religious ritual practices could be expected to decrease in a predominately secular society. Nevertheless, the tradition of the cemetery festival practiced in Latvia shows that the relationship between the religious and the secular is much more complex than simply being in opposition to each other. The analysis is based on data obtained by undertaking fieldwork at cemeteries in Latvia. Participant observation and qualitative in-depth interviews were the main research tools used in the fieldwork. Through an analysis of the fieldwork data, this article explains, first, how honoring of the deceased currently takes place in Latvia; second, the factors which have determined the preservation of the cemetery festival tradition despite the forced secularization of the Soviet period and the general secularization encountered today; third, the relationship between religious and secular activities and their transformation at the cemetery festival.

Significant research explores effectiveness of entrepreneurial curriculum, teaching innovations and programs, but less often studied is the role of entrepreneurship educators. The way that the educator sees his or her role relative to the students is of critical importance because this directly influences pedagogy choices, expectations for students and learning outcomes, as well as job satisfaction. While recent studies propose typologies characterizing pedagogical approaches of educators, few of these are based on the data from entrepreneurship educators. Framed within role identity theory, we conducted 13 in–depth interviews to examine how entrepreneurship educators perceive their role. Using the qualitative data analysis tool (NVivo), we analyzed how the relationship between their perceptions of their role and core value orientation is connected to teaching approaches. Results show that these educators view their roles as teacher-focused, network-focused, or student-focused and that these perspectives are associated with different perceptions of students’ role and learning objectives. Further, we find different levels of emphasis on roles and that personal core values are differentially linked to these roles. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Re-thinking dominant epistemological assumptions of the urban in the global South implies recognising the role of grassroots networks in challenging epistemic injustices through the co-production of multiple saberes and haceres for more just and inclusive cities. This paper examines the pedagogies of such networks by focusing on the experiences nurtured within Habitat International Coalition in Latin America (HIC-AL), identified as a ‘School of Grassroots Urbanism’ (Escuela de Urbanismo Popular). Although HIC-AL follows foremost activist rather than educational objectives, members of HIC-AL identify and value their practices as a ‘School’, whose diverse pedagogic logics and epistemological arguments are examined in this paper. The analysis builds upon a series of in-depth interviews, document reviews and participant observation with HIC-AL member organisations and allied grassroots networks. The discussion explores how the values and principles emanating from a long history of popular education and popular urbanism in the region are articulated through situated pedagogies of resistance and transformation, which in turn enable generative learning from and for the social production of habitat.

This article explores the role of social media promotions in the marketing of luxury, from the perspectives of both representatives of global brands and the local influencers contracted to promote them online. It provides insights into role of social media in marketing luxury in ‘new’ markets (African cities) and the complexities attendant to the relationship between brand representatives and influencers. It reports on in-depth interviews with brand representatives and social media influencers working in the luxury sector in large anglophone African cities. Empirical findings show the role of social media in how luxury is promoted by those working in the industry. Three key complexities to do with value, trust and authenticity were evident in how global brand representatives and local influencers discussed social media. In terms of value, influencers emphasize strategies for monetizing visibility, while brand managers emphasize the need to get their money’s worth. Regarding trust, influencers express caution about brands trying to exploit them, while brands express scepticism about the extent of influencer’s abilities. On the topic of authenticity, influencers emphasize how the integrity of their personal brands is paramount, while brand representatives are mostly concerned with how genuine the social media posts seem. The article provides original empirical details about the relationships between brand managers and social media influencers, as well as to the nuances of social media luxury marketing in African cities. It contributes to critical theories of branding practice in media economies of the global south.

One of them many examples about the relationship between culture and politics can be illustrated in the issue of kinship in the 2020 West Manggarai regional election discussed in this study. The kinship phenomenon in question is the tendency of the West Manggarai community in general to choose leaders who are in the same kinship and it is known as the lonto leok culture which still strongly influences people's life, including politics. This study uses an interpretive paradigm with phenomenological research methods. The research data collection was carried out with primary data, namely conducting in-depth interviews and documentation and secondary data in the form of literature study. Interviews were conducted with informants who conducted lonto leok ahead of the 2020 Mabar Pilkada and also in the previous pilkada. The results showed that the meaning of kinship in the lonto leok culture in the election process in West Manggarai was togetherness and dependence. Meanwhile, the role of lonto leok culture in the political process is at the time of making decisions and fostering kinship ties.   Keywords: Culture, Politics, Kinship, Lonto Leok, phenomenology, meaning of kinship

Insight Into

Chapter 7 examines Evans-Pritchard’s photographic record of the Nuer rite of gorot, witnessed in 1936, and raises questions about the relationship between photography and participant-observation as a core research method in early twentieth-century anthropology. The chapter explores the question of why Evans-Pritchard’s record of this ritual is characterized by a sustained visual engagement with two distinct stages of the rite, and why other aspects of the ceremony are not recorded. In order to explore this question, the chapter proposes the model of Evans-Pritchard as ‘participant-photographer’—a model that understands his involvement with the ritual as being composed of periods of photographic engagement interposed with observation and note-taking. Placing Evans-Pritchard back into the field through a careful examination of his fieldwork records of a particular event enables us to gain a new insight into not just his fieldwork methods, but his proximity, involvement, and perspective on key elements of the ritual as they unfolded.

The purpose of this article is to examine the role of moral feelings—guilt and shame —in the emergence and aftermath of intimate violence, and the way in which these emotions affect the self and behaviors of those involved. This is a phenomenological study using content analysis of in-depth interviews with 20 male batterers and their female partners. The findings indicate that the extent of authenticity and assumption of responsibility concerning moral feelings will determine whether these will or will not lead to intimate violence. Thus it becomes possible to trace five alternative paths of the relationship between moral feelings and intimate violence. Implications for theorizing and future research about the role of moral feelings in intimate violence are suggested.
