There are topics in art that always sound contemporary, so we often come back to them. One of them is Belles lettres and Painting. There are two perhaps even three different theses for this problem. The first is that fiction and fine arts are too far apart from each other as a type of art. The second thesis is that the arts have not only their major and significant differences, but also their undeniable similarities. Such is the perception of the French and German romantics. According to them, in the different historical eras, aesthetic trends and directions (genres) form close artistic styles, criteria and tastes as well as similar literary, plastic and musical imagery. And the third thesis is neutral. It seeks to harmonize the first two – different in expressive means, but similar in ideological and emotional impact respectively to the reader, viewer or listener.


The Oxford Handbook of Aesthetics looks at a fascinating theme in philosophy and the arts. Leading figures in the field contribute forty-eight articles which detail the theory, application, history, and future of philosophy and all branches of the arts. The first article of the book gives a general overview of the field of philosophical aesthetics in two parts: the first is a quick sketch of the lay of the land, and the second an account of five central problems over the past fifty years. The second article gives an extensive survey of recent work in the history of modern aesthetics, or aesthetic thought from the seventeenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. There are three main parts to the book. The first part comprises sections dealing with problems in aesthetics, such as expression, fiction or aesthetic experience, considered apart from any particular artform. The second part contains articles on problems in aesthetics as they arise in connection with particular artforms, such as music, film, or dance. The third part addresses relations between aesthetics and other fields of enquiry, and explores viewpoints or concerns complimentary to those prominent in mainstream analytical aesthetics.

It is not home and it is not a place to work, the third place is often used as teenagers to gather. The third place has an important role for humans, therefore all humans have the right to have it in the environment they live. The lack of a third place in the Pondok Kelapa causes its citizens to go downtown where the third room is better and this causes traffics on weekends. The purpose of this research is to apply the criteria of the third place in the arts and culture building as a positive container as well as a community forum for the environment. Keywords:  Art and Culture; Expression; Third place Abstrak Pondok Kelapa adalah Kelurahan yang berada di tepi Jakarta Timur dan didominasi oleh pemukiman, menurut data dari Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (disingkat BKKBN)[1] dominasi umur di pondok kelapa berkisar 6 tahun hingga 22 tahun, umur dimana lebih suka berkumpul bertukar informasi dengan teman seusianya.

The National Museum of Indonesia has a unique statue of a god depicted wearing a turban. The museum manager named this statue Shiva Mahadeva based on the third eye’s presence on his forehead. Based on this uniqueness, a more in-depth study carried out by taking the question What is the meaning of the turban-shaped head covering the statue’s depiction? Is there a connection between the depiction and the arts and culture of the community? This study aims to know the meaning implied in depicting the turban and trying to find out the social picture of the statuemaking community. This study conducted using descriptive research methods with contextual analysis. This study indicates that the statue depicted is not a statue of Shiva Mahadeva but a combination of Shiva and Vishnu known as Hariharamurti. The turban’s meaning is similar to the crown carved on the statue, which shows the character’s dignity and majesty. The life of the community’s arts and culture influences the depiction of the Hariharamurti statue, which is synonymous with freedom without leaving religious rules. In general, the arts and cultural aspects of the community that affect the statue are indicated as a community environment closely related to the priest/rishi’s activities. Museum Nasional Indonesia memiliki arca tokoh dewa unik yang digambarkan mengenakan sorban. Pengelola museum memberi nama tokoh tersebut adalah Siwa Mahadewa berdasarkan pada keberadaan mata ketiga yang ada di dahinya. Atas dasar keunikan inilah maka dilakukan kajian lebih mendalam lagi dengan mengambil pertanyaan, apa makna penutup kepala berbentuk sorban dalam penggambaran arca tersebut? adakah keterkaitan penggambaran tersebut dengan kehidupan seni-budaya masyarakat? tujuan yang ingin dicapai dari kajian ini adalah mengetahui makna yang tersirat dalam penggambaran sorban dan mencoba untuk mengetahui gambaran sosial masyarakat pembuat arca. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut maka kajian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan analisis secara kontekstual. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa arca yang digambarkan bukanlah arca Siwa Mahadewa melainkan gabungan antara Siwa dengan Wisnu yang dikenal sebagai Hariharamurti. Pemaknaan sorban yang dikenakan oleh arca tersebut memiliki kesamaan dengan mahkota yang biasa dipahatkan pada arca yaitu menunjukkan kemuliaan dan keagungan dari tokoh tersebut. Kehidupan senibudaya masyarakat jelas mempengaruhi gaya penggambaran arca Hariharamurti tersebut yang identik dengan kebebasan tanpa meninggalkan aturan agama. Secara umum, aspek seni-budaya masyarakat yang mempengaruhi arca tersebut diindikasikan sebagai lingkungan masyarakat yang erat terkait dengan aktivitas pada pendeta/resi.

The narrative arts deal with the presentation of stories via a variety of narrative processes and presentation media. Fictionality is a unique feature of the arts, one that distinguishes the narrative arts from the storytelling of everyday conversation. The plots of stories are grounded in the experientiality of the story’s protagonist in a storyworld, most especially his/her problem-solving dynamics. Literature describes these behaviours in the third person using narration, whereas theatre re-creates these actions in an embodied manner by having actors portray the characters in performance. While role playing is a central part of the presentation of the self in everyday social interactions, actors portray characters who they themselves are not, a re-creative process of impersonation and pretence that comprises the most art-specific feature of the narrative arts.

The Society has already published, in the third volume of the Vetusta Monumenta, engravings of the three Crosses which alone remain of the twelve that were erected by the King in memory of his Queen. An historical discourse is also there given on the circumstances under which these beautiful structures were erected, the work of Mr. Gough, assisted by Sir Henry Englefield. This discourse contains nearly every thing which was then known on the subject, and has been the source from whence later accounts have been derived. What I now propose to do is to make some material additions to what was then known on the subject, and to correct some important misconceptions; and, in doing this, to make some small addition to the knowledge we possess concerning the arts and artists of the period, and particularly to assert for England, against Walpole and others, the claim of having produced by the hands of native artists most of the beautiful works of sculpture and architecture which are connected with the name and memory of this Queen.

This paper focuses on the practical question of how the ideas of John Dewey can contribute to improved intercultural communication theory and practice, especially to training. The question is answered in four parts. The first part refers to the presumed superiority of sensitivity to difference as opposed to similarity in intercultural communication. The second part suggests that Dewey’s duality of potentiality and interaction can be carried over to the duality of competence and performance. The third part highlights the use of the generic concepts of pattern and habit to better understand culture as a practical experience. The final part advocates a closer look at the idea and experience of rhythm as an epistemological alternative to subject vs object. The author relies on his experience as a trainer and a teacher of Intercultural Communication and proceeds down an interdisciplinary path, especially attempting to set up a dialogue with biology, systems and the arts.
