Critical music has the ability to describe the socio-political reality that occur in the country. Musicians describe their concerns and ideas through lyrics found in critical music. So, musicians take advantage of the function of music as mass communication. Through critical music, the delivery of socio-political phenomena can be intertwined in a more informal and relaxed manner. Especially for the younger generation who are very close to the development of music, where Indonesia is in a demographic bonus phase. In this study, researcher attempted to explain the dynamics of critical music in Indonesia's political ecosystem and how it affects the critical awareness of the younger generation. Jason Ranti describes his anxiety through the lyrics that are eccentric but rich in meaning, relaxed but not purposeless, and critical without being patronizing. Jason Ranti's critical music can build the interest of the younger generation to be more critical of the ongoing socio-political phenomena. This study uses documentation as the main data which is supported by interviews. The result of this research is that Jason Ranti has contributed in spreading critical insights to the younger generation. By understanding the meaning of eccentric musicalization through critical hermeneutic theory, Jason Ranti describes the current social phenomenon and tries to provide alternative responses for his listeners. The younger generation becomes more caring, empathetic and interested about the socio-political phenomena that are happening. Through Jason Ranti's critical music, the younger generation can take responsive actions in responding to the socio-political phenomena that are currently happening. Critical Music, Socio-Political Conditions, Jason Ranti, Younger Generation.

The Mohiyonga hulalo tradition on the night of Shawwal is a recurring social phenomenon every year in rural Gorontalo. This tradition encapsulates the deep meaning of releasing Ramadan while welcoming Eid. This tradition is slowly changing, as the presence of mass communication technology and transportation that accompany modernization. This study analyzed the meaning behind the Mohiyonga hulalo tradition in rural Gorontalo. Besides, this study also described how aspects of technology like music, loudspeakers, tape, VCD player, and android are part of the liveliness of the Mohiyonga hulalo tradition as well as being the cause of waning community traditions in rural Gorontalo. This study used a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods. Observations were carried out in a participatory manner, deepened by interviews with village elders and young activists of this tradition. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively. The study found that the Mohiyonga hulalo tradition contained psychological meaning and spiritual meaning. Psychologically it is as momentum channeling emotions of sadness and fear of God. Meanwhile, spirituality means a momentum of repentance by acknowledging mistakes. The presence of mass communication and transportation technology has changed the Mohiyonga hulalo tradition held in the mosque to move to the streets, then fade. Changes in this element affect patterns of behavior, especially in social interaction.

The turn of the twentieth century witnessed a significant expansion of both Deptford in southeast London and the market town of Dadaocheng in northern Taiwan. A factor that unites the two can arguably be found in both historically avoiding becoming part of the cities to which they now belong. The collective desire of their more well-to-do residents to shape an urban modern space that could fit their aspirations transcended national boundaries. Defined as the “urban elite,” the more notable residents were both globally situated and connected. They lived in a modernity that was self-defined and interpreted, one that was differentiated across a range of institutions: family life, economic and political structures, education, mass communication, and individual orientation. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to argue that these arenas should be understood as a narrative of continual design and redesign. What is more, they were essentially marshaled by a rising new urban middle class. The fortunes that they acquired were a result of their connections to the town they helped mold and transform. Using social elite theory, this article will argue that if the social, economic, and political conditions across areas are similar, people will behave in comparable ways with only contextual differences. In the case of Taiwan, attention to this overlooked aspect of its social history is important in helping to situate the island in global comparisons.

A work of art should not only be a means to entertain, but can be broader and penetrate political and social barriers. Call it Augusto Boal, a Brazilian man who grew up in Rio de Janeiro. he experimented where he suggested different actions for the characters in the show who were subjected to oppression, and the actors who played the characters then made audience suggestions. With the experiments he did, he was able to uncover the thoughts of the people to the deepest niches that were often not spoken verbally about the position of those who were oppressed by the social and political reality in their place. Through this kind of theater, it would be interesting if the writer tries to reveal a social phenomenon that has multiple interpretations about who is blamed if there is a case of infidelity. With this kind of theater, the audience as well as the actors will be aware of the background or motivation of someone in the position of the victim or those who take advantage. This time's creation was intended to explore the possibility of the function of a show in people's lives. Problems that were originally complicated and tended to be deadlocked to be solved by playing theater directly. What needs to be considered for the creators of performing arts is that art is able to provide its own offer to communicate openly and break down the dividing walls of the mind in a segmented society so as to provide mutual awareness. Keyword : Theater, Opressed, Comunication, Awareness

The aim of the article is to show the challenges in scholarly attempts to conceptualize the phenomenon of irregular immigration. Although this type of migration has been of interest to scholars for several decades, it still requires in-depth analysis to better explain and understand its causes, scope, and consequences. The article attempts to clarify the nature of irregular immigration, indicating both the general ways of defi ning this phenomenon and the process of shaping it in socio-political reality since the end of the 19th century. The analysis reveals the internal diversity, dynamism, and ambiguity of this type of migration, which developed in parallel with the control instruments implemented by the states, aimed at enforcing increasingly complex immigration regulations conditioning the entry, stay and work of immigrants. The presented theoretical reflection on the complexity and the heterogeneity of irregular immigration is then confronted with the interpretation of this phenomenon in the EU immigration policy. Another important complement to these studies is to show the terminological challenges that have emerged in previous studies on irregular immigration. They are important both for the objectifi cation of theoretical investigations and for an empirical analysis of this social phenomenon.

The diary is a “series of dated traces” which refers to the historical reality external to the writer and to the empirical person making the record. Diaries can be a report on everyday events, lyrical notes of feelings and emotions, a form of reflection on political, social, economic and cultural topics. The Dąbrowska Journal, recorded for fifty-one years, is a chronicle of the intellectual life of post-Yalta Poland, an abundant reporter of socio-political, cultural and literary events, a gallery of courts and opinions — often extreme and overbearing — an extremely sober diagnosis of relations between society and power. The uniqueness of the “Diaries” was that the author contained many details of intimate, everyday and political life. “Diaries” are a deep reflection on your own life and Poland. Dąbrowska was aware that she lived in a “police-totalitarian” system. Through journalistic prose, the author sent clear signals that she understands her contemporary political conditions and accurately assesses the surrounding world. Dąbrowska's diary survived as a testimony of the era, kept views and thoughts regarding the political reality of that time.

<p>This thesis focuses on what I have called “technological idealisations”, and how they are valuable to many current and future ethical debates. Technological idealisations refer to a methodology of using technology thought experiments to contribute to ethical debates. I do not claim this to be a new idea, and in fact will go on to give many examples of technological idealisation that already exist in the philosophical literature. The term describes the purposeful effort to collate these examples into a specific methodological framework; one which gives a particular kind of evidence which can ignore concerns of practicality and critically focus on the theoretical issues in a given debate.  In order to explore this idea I will first be looking at past, better known, examples of idealisations to facilitate understanding of my own. I will look at Rawlsian ideal theory as a template for my own idealisations, as well as to explain how they can be valuable in contributing to debates (in Rawls’ case political and in my case ethical). Rawls’ split up the field of political theory into ideal and non-ideal theory. Non-ideal theory is practical and works within the constraints of current political reality. Ideal theory idealises the political conditions to allow theorising regarding perfect political theory. The same can be done for ethics and for technology as it relates to ethics, as is my goal. Following on from this, I also examine Johann Roduit’s use of ideal theory in the closely related field of human enhancement, in which he develops an interesting methodology of using ideals to guide human enhancement programmes.  However, rather than being concerned with Roduit’s practical aim, my goal is theoretical. I want to take the ethical principles and theories themselves as ideals for technological development; in doing so technologies will be created, through the use of thought experiments, which agree with the theoretical aims of the theory or principle. These technologies can then be ethically examined and the resulting evidence can contribute (and has in the past contributed) to the ethical debate of those concepts and theories. The kind of evidence I see technological idealisations as offering ignores practical concerns and in doing so is also immune to criticisms of impracticality. This allows for more closely focused scrutiny of the ethical theories and principles themselves, undistracted by appeals to practicality which either argue for accepting a theory due to its utility or argue for rejecting a theory due to its impracticality.</p>

AbstractThis article considers utopian international legal thought. It makes three inter-connected arguments. First, it argues that international law and international legal theory are dominated by a ‘blueprint’ utopianism that presents international law as the means of achieving a better global future. Second, it argues that such blueprintism makes international law into what philosopher Louis Marin describes as a “degenerate utopia” – a fantastical means of trapping thought and practice within contemporary social and political conditions, blocking any possibility that those conditions might be transcended. Third, it argues for an iconoclastic international legal utopianism – Utopia not as a ‘blueprint’ for a better future, operating within the confines of existing social and political reality, but as a means of seeking to negate and exit from that reality – as the only way to maintain the idea that international law offers a path towards a truly better future.

The article deals with the problems of functioning of the state language in advertising texts as a social phenomenon that affects the development of language, forming moral and spiritual values among the younger generation. The penetration of advertising slogans into the speech of recipients is noted, which confirms the role of advertising influence on the development and functioning of the language. The Kazakh language as a state language tends to expand the boundaries of functioning, as with the adoption of the law "on advertising" there was a tendency of growth of broadcasting of advertising on television channels, on radio, on billboards, in ads in the Kazakh language. Advertising carries aesthetic and cultural content, and is an indicator of the development of language, a means of introducing new words and expressions, by testing their viability in everyday life. Linguists note the presence of lexical, phonetic, grammatical and syntactic errors in advertising texts in the Kazakh language. S. Asanbayeva, G. Soltanbekova, T. Tilegenov, M. Koishygulov, D. Kozhambetov, S. Asylbekov believe that as a result of such facts in advertising in the Kazakh language is defective ("zharymzhanzharnama").
