The detrimental impact of childcare institutions (CCIs), or orphanages, is well known. Despite deinstitutionalisation strategies in Uganda, CCIs remain the predominant intervention method employed by Western actors responding to the needs of children there. Reforming this approach requires contextualised critical understandings of the children’s experiences and perspectives of their institutionalisation, to reduce the misidentification and misappropriation of children as orphans. Therefore, operationalising the theoretical lens of Bourdieu within critical hermeneutic analyses, this article draws upon the narratives of 30 children living within an orphanage in Kampala, to enhance critical understandings of their experiences, perspectives, and behaviours throughout transition from home to an orphanage, via the streets of Kampala, illuminating how and why they come to be living there. Guided by Ricœur’s critical hermeneutic approach, the study found that poverty drives children to the streets in search of economic opportunity and organisations perceived to offer access to basic services of which they are deprived, such as education. Education, as a form of cultural capital, is understood amongst participants as ensuring an elevated position within society, or a means of overcoming poverty. Within this transition from home to the orphanage, whilst on the streets, socially acquired dispositions and harmful stereotypes contribute to the manifestation of the ‘street kid’ construct, for which the children are marginalised, and experience physical and sexual abuse. Girls are most at risk, whereby gender inequality contributes to their exploitation and the normalisation of rape. However, for the children entry into a CCI from the streets means relinquishing agency and social capital that is integral to them, often.

The purpose of the study is to comprehend the phenomenon of network creativity in the context of the formation of the cultural capital of modern human. The methodology of the research is represented by a system approach, which allows to understand the cultural changes caused by the formation of information and technological paradigm of modern society, as well as by a hermeneutic approach that contributes to the interpretation of the inherent meanings in the works of network creativity. The scientific novelty of the study consists in expanding the area of understanding the concept of cultural capital, as well as determining the ability of network creativity to accumulate the cultural capital of modern human. Conclusions. As a result of the research it was established that modern unique conditions of our existence between the real and virtual worlds necessitate a revision of the classical understanding of cultural capital. The theoretical and applied aspects of using network creativity in favor of increasing the cultural capital of an individual are analyzed. Two vectors of its accumulation in the network space are defined. First, these are netiquette and meme literacy, the level of which determines the ability to read the message encoded in amateur Internet content. In other words, the understanding of network creativity equals investment in the person`s cultural capital. Second, these are cultural products as result of network creativity, which are translated into real life through virtuality, where have positive influence on social, professional and commercial success. The following examples in the Ukrainian segment of the Internet are considered. These are: Internet-meme Goose and YouTube blog “SlivkiShow”. Ways to earn money on YouTube have been studied. The formula for calculating the earnings of YouTube blogger has been determined.

Gender Capital

Peterson’s “omnivore-univore” hypothesis has stimulated a lively debate among cultural sociologists, but the effect of omnivorousness upon gender inequality remains underexplored. By analyzing the gendered valuation of beer types in craft beer blogs and in open-ended surveys with 93 craft beer bar patrons, this article demonstrates that a shift toward omnivorousness does not necessarily reflect a shift toward progressive gender ideology. These findings indicate that the same ideological conflation between femininity and illegitimacy that dominates the univorous American mainstream beer culture has been reproduced—albeit repackaged—within the American craft beer culture. Men are free to consume a range of beer types without consequence within the confines of the omnivorous craft beer culture, but women remain subjected to gendered judgment depending upon their beer preference. This imbalance signifies the emergence of a “hybrid masculinity” within the omnivorous craft beer scene that superficially signifies gender-blindness while ultimately maintaining the patriarchal status quo. These findings contribute towards the sociology of gender and the sociology of consumption by demonstrating the gender contingencies of cultural capital accrual that reinforce women’s subordination.

This article analyses the text of bahtsul masail from the alumni of Lirboyo Islamic traditional boarding school focusing on the motive behind its publication, the basic concept of nationalism proposed by the text, the dominance of legal reasoning used in the text and its potential toward the readers. By employing critical hermeneutic approach, there were three stages of analysis, i.e. socio-historical analysis, text analysis and interpretation of the text. According to the analysis this research concludes that the recent phenomenon of the rising of anti-nationalism Islamic movement led by Hizbut-Tahrir and certain radical hard-line organization since 2000s has been the main motive of the publication of the text. This text also proposes the meaning of nationalism as the intention to love the nation and country and its consequences as a Moslem in Indonesian context. Moreover Qauliyah has had been used as the main legal reasoning to formulate certain concepts and this text might be less compatible for the prospective readers outside the Santri’s community. Because many arguments from Arabic resources scattered throughout the text in which still need depth explanation for the beginners.

Negative Phenomena

From the beginning until now, religion has always been a paradoxical term. Religion has become an ambiguous term because it has both thesis and antithesis that are closely inherent. The thesis is that religion is positive strength striving for virtue, salvation, prosperity, happiness, and peace in the reality of human society globally and locally. On the other hand, religion also appears as negative force to be the antithesis of the religion itself. Problems rise on the religion lie not in the thesis but in the antithesis because thesis and antithesis are always accompanying the dynamics of religion in society reality. So that, it needs a "third way" as a tool to harmonize, align, and reconcile the contradiction. Research used qualitative method with critical hermeneutic approach intended to evaluate the antithesis of religion and show constructive side towards a better future. Based on the results and discussion, there is one thing called synthesis of religion. The synthesis area of religion should be an element that continues to be explored and optimized in order to create peace in the contemporary world and in the future. It takes an appreciation of positivistic religion so religion really becomes a force to liberate human beings from various negative phenomena which discolour the realm of religion.

Insight Into

Shaykh Ihsan Jampes gave the fatwa of the cigarette law as makrūh, while Majelis Tarjih gave the fatwa ḥarām. Although Sheikh Ihsan’s fatwa is individual, this fatwa deserves to be a comparison for the collective fatwa of the Majelis Tarjih. This is because the Sheikh Ihsan’s fatwa is a complete picture of the NU fatwa in general. This paper is based on two important questions, which the arguments are used by the two fatwas in formulating the cigarette law and whether there are conceptual differences from these arguments or not. To answer these two questions, the method used is descriptive-critical-analysis with a critical hermeneutic approach. This article finds that both fatwa of Sheikh Ihsan Jampes and Majelis Tarjih have the same argument in deciding the cigarette law, namely the argument of utility or usefulness (maşlaḥat). However, the two fatwas are different in formulating the maşlaḥat model used. Shaykh Ihsan used maşlaḥat taḥsīniyyāh while Majelis Tarjih put it in the shade of maşlaḥah darūriyyah. This article implies, not only from the various variants of the different choices of cigarette law but also providing insight into the epistemology that underlies these differences in law. This article educates smokers to choose between continuing or leaving smoking. Epistemology, as is well known, is the opening door to one's actions. This article also provides a perspective for policy-makers between legalizing or banning cigarettes based on the theory of maşlaḥat.Syeikh Ihsan Jampes memberi fatwa hukum rokok sebagai makrūh, sementara Majelis Tarjih memberi fatwa ḥarām. Walau fatwa Syeikh Ihsan bersifat individual, fatwa ini layak menjadi pembanding bagi fatwa Majelis Tarjih yang kolektif. Hal ini disebabkan karena fatwa Syeikh Ihsan adalah gambaran lengkap bagi fatwa NU pada umumnya.  Tulisan ini dilandasi oleh dua pertanyaan penting yaitu argumentasi apakah yang digunakan oleh kedua fatwa tersebut dalam merumuskan hukum rokok serta apakah ada perbedaan konseptual dari argumentasi tersebut. Untuk menjawab dua pertanyaan tersebut, metode yang digunakan adalah  diskriptif-analisis-kritis dengan pendekatan hermeneutika kritis. Artikel ini menemukan jawaban bahwa fatwa Syeikh Ihsan Jampes dan fatwa Majelis Tarjih memiliki argumen yang sama dalam memberi hukum rokok yaitu argumentasi utilitas atau kebermanfaatan (maşlaḥat). Hanya saja, kedua fatwa tersebut berbeda dalam merumuskan model maşlaḥat yang digunakan. Syeikh Ihsan menggunakan maşlaḥah taḥsīniyyāh sementara Majelis Tarjih meletakkannya dalam naungan maşlaḥah darūriyyah. Artikel ini memberi implikasi, tidak saja dari berbagai varian pilihan hukum rokok yang berbeda, tetapi juga memberi pengetahuan tentang epistemologi yang melatari perbedaan hukum tersebut. Artikel ini mencerdaskan para perokok untuk mengambil pilihan antara melanjutkan merokok atau meninggalkannya. Epistemologi, seperti diketahui, adalah pintu pembuka bagi tindakan seseorang. Artikel ini juga memberi perspektif bagi pengambil kebijakan antara melegalkan rokok atau melarangnya yang didasarkan kepada teori maşlaḥat.

Hermeneutic Approach

This chapter examines the problem of meaning in Western art music, its entwinement with the idea of “autonomy,” and the confusions surrounding the concept of meaning itself. The argument is in three parts. The first takes a philosophical-historical approach to the relation between autonomy and the problem of musical meaning, considering Kant’s reservations regarding instrumental music’s non-conceptuality. The second analyses the concept of musical meaning in the context of the philosophy of language and argues for the priority of meaning as “sense” over meaning as “reference” in the understanding of autonomous music as a mediated “complex of meaning.” The third takes a critical hermeneutic approach to the problem of interpretation in view of each work’s idiosyncratic rationality, its temporality, and its non-conceptuality. In conclusion it argues that hermeneutic interpretation also requires engaged “mimetic understanding” in the process of making sense of the ambiguity and polyvalence of the autonomous musical work.
