The Creation

Women experience numerous contradictions as they undergo social change. Many have celebrated the autonomy of Nigerian women. Some “got drunk” with the notions of this autonomy. Change created a number of problems that supposed autonomy could not come to grips with. Just a few examples: First, women appeared to contribute more labor to the development process than men, burdening them with physical and time constraints. Second, modernization created new resources and along with them, new kinds of inequalities in access to resources. Specifically, women had much more limited access to resources than men. Consequently, women could not invest resources in the same ways as men.

Opening Up

This chapter examines the creation of new orders at the beginning of the twentieth century, which was the culmination of a prolonged period of “unprecedented honorific inventiveness” starting in the late nineteenth century. In Britain the new Order of the British Empire was branded the “Order of Britain’s Democracy” in recognition of the fact that it extended far deeper into non-elite classes in British society than any previous honour. Between 1917 and 1921 more than 20,000 people in Britain and throughout the British Empire were added to this new Order. This was an unprecedented number, orders of magnitude larger than honours lists in previous years. While the new Order was successful in reaching a wider, more middle-class audience than the honours system before the war, which was socially narrow, there was a substantial backlash to what was widely perceived by elites to be an excessive (and diluting) opening-up of the “fount of honour.” This backlash was connected to political controversies about the sale of honours that eventually helped bring about Lloyd George’s downfall. This chapter also contains a brief description of all the components of the British honours system at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The 1950S

The 1950s is a gap in the usual studies of tourism in Bali, but this was a crucial decade for rebuilding the tourist industry after World War II and the Indonesian Revolution, and for establishing a post-colonial industry. The reconstruction of the tourist industry drew on Dutch attempts to rebuild tourism during the 1940s. The process of reconstruction required the creation of a souvenir industry, in which Balinese women entrepreneurs played a key role, the building of networks of hotels, and the recreation of tourist itineraries. Paradoxically, the leaders in rebuilding the industry were leading figures on the Republican side during the Indonesian Revolution, but relied on Dutch precedents and patterns. The 1950s represented an optimistic period of relative autonomy, before the centralised control of the New Order government came into play.

First Time

1. A detailed description, with illustrations, is given, of the sequences in development and maturation of the genitalia inTetrabothrius erostris.This is the first such account of any member of the new order Tetrabothridea.2. The effect of the very marked protandry on the form of the remainder of the genitalia is discussed.3. Attention is drawn to the unusual ovary which produces sclerotin and which it is proposed to call a ‘calycal-ovarium’.4. Comparison is made of the embryophore with that of the Cyclophyllidea. There is a suggestion that the embryophore may be formed of sclerotin inT. erostris.5. Par-uterine vesicles have been described for the first time in any member of the Tetrabothridea. These vesicles arise from the uterine primordium and have previously been confused with testes.6. The complex affinities of the order Tetrabothridea are discussed and some support arises for the creation of this new order.

This study aims to analyse (1) how the characters in the novel Amba by Laksmi Pamuntjak conquest and care for the preservation of nature and environment, and (2) the depiction of nature and the environment in relation to the overall story of Amba using ecocriticism  perspective. The results are as follows. First, the nature and the environment of Buru are described as an arena to be conquered by the main character (Bhishma), who was a political prisoner in the New Order era. In addition, the preservation of nature and environment of Buru Island also should be protected from exploitation, especially by outsiders who came to the island of Buru. Second, the depiction of nature and the environment in Amba is related to the creation of the setting of story (place and time),  i.e. Buru Island as political prisoners’ detention place in the New Order era, between 1969–2006. From the perspective of ecocriticism  these findings demonstrate how an island that was secluded so used to dispose of political prisoners have experienced the dynamics of an arena which was originally a natural and fierce, eventually turned into an island that invites entrants to explore and exploit natural wealth, so must be preserved.

Abstract This paper reveals preconditions for the emergence of clusters as self-organisation based industrial systems in a context, in which cooperation traditions are insufficiently developed. These preconditions reflect the principles of the emergence of self-organising complex adaptive systems that are analysed in the complexity theory. Those principles are based on the initiation of non-equilibrium and its purposeful direction into the creation of a new order. This paper highlights the main external and internal tensions that influence informal or formal clustering of enterprises, while various change agents perform different roles making self-organising processes to occur.

Knowledge, skills and talents that may be utilized to provide professional services are human capital. The firm has a collective ability for the creation of ideas, innovations and appropriate solutions to help the company accomplish its business goals. The ability of human capital is for individuals to win the world's competition to offer employees with more financial value. Thus, this study is intended to establish the function of human capital in creating trustworthy human resources within the education sector. A qualitative technique is used in this study by gathering literature-based research data sources. The results demonstrate that the function of human capital is crucial in the education sector, since human capital provides a strong basis for the advancement of the educational world and for the creation of a new order that is essential in today's progressive world.

<p>O presente estudo objetiva mostrar o padrão discursivo racial na produção da obra <em>Clara dos Anjos </em>(1922) de Lima Barreto em contraposição a essa releitura a telenovela <em>Fera ferida </em>(1993), de Aguinaldo Silva, Ricardo Linhares e Ana Maria Moretzsohn. Para constituir o aporte teórico estabelecido nesse trabalho, utilizamos a noção de formação discursiva segundo Michel Pêcheux (1997), buscando apreender, como a macroesturação enunciativa dos objetos <em>Clara dos Anjos </em>e <em>Fera ferida </em>se articulam através da perspectiva do dizer racial brasileiro. Parece-nos, que nesse sentido a filiação discursiva dos autores têm a capacidade de reproduzir a veleidade racial brasileira, legitimando o mito da democracia racial e o posicionamento imposto pela classe dirigente, que preza o domínio de vida capitalista. Contudo, a obra de Barreto ressignifica a óptica racial por meio da criação de “uma literatura social politicamente militante, voltada para a urgência do cotidiano em mudança e ao mesmo tempo inspirada na redenção do homem e na defesa do trabalhador oprimido pelas distorções sociais”. (PRADO, 1980, p. 13). De forma divergente, a narrativa <em>Fera ferida </em>mostrará, em sua trama, a desconstrução dos discursos produzidos sobre o negro, perspectiva que distorce a racialidade e, consequentemente, demanda uma nova ordem, como a criação de leis que se interpõem de forma a rever a questão racial.</p><p>This study aims to show the racial pattern in the discursive production of <em>Clara dos Anjos </em>(1922), work of Lima Barreto in contrast to that rereading the soap opera <em>Fera Ferida </em>(1993), written by Aguinaldo Silva, Ricardo Linhares and Ana Maria Moretzsohn. Constituting the theoretical framework established in this work, we use the notion of discursive formation according to Michel Pêcheux (1997), seeking to understand, as the macrostructure enunciation of objects Clara dos Anjos and Fera Ferida articulate through the perspective of the Brazilian racial say. It seems to me that, in that sense the discursive affiliation of authors has the ability to play the Brazilian racial whim, legitimizing myth of racial democracy and the position imposed by the ruling class, which values the capitalist life domain. However, the work of Barreto resignifies racial optical through the creation of “a politically militant social literature, focused on the urgency of change in everyday and at the same time inspired by the redemption of man and the defense of the oppressed worker by social distortions.” (PRADO, 1980, p. 13). In different ways, the <em>Fera Ferida </em>narrative shows in its plot, the deconstruction of discourses produced on black, perspective that distorts raciality and therefore demand a new order, such as the creation of laws that stand in order to review the racial issue.</p>
