Abstract: Political transition in Indonesia since 1998 has created uncertain situation for most Indonesian people. Moreover, the hard economic condition has multiplied the number of people living below the poverty line. In these circumstances, the light entertainments such as situation comedy, which blends the portrait of ordinary people and their quaint life style, occupied the prime time of television programming in Indonesia. This paper discusses the popularity of the situation comedy Bajaj Bajuri (bajaj literally means “two-passenger pedicab motor with scooter machine”) in contemporary Indonesia. This series is about the daily life of Bajuri’s (bajaj’s driver) family and their lower class neighbours in the edge of metropolitan Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia). Therefore, this paper focuses on the representation of the marginalised people and how television constructed the boundary of marginality. This paper argues that situation comedy is not only reinforcing stereotype of the lower class group but also transgressing the stereotypical image of the lower class by parodying and abusing popular discourse.

Complete evaluation of anti-drug abuse campaigns should examine not only the messages created, but the programming content which makes up the information environment for those receiving these messages. A content analysis of one major information source (prime time TV) indicates that drug-relevant information is being disseminated and should be taken into account in planning information strategies. Commercial appeals promoting chemical agent use and programming which largely neglects abuse potentials suggest cautions for the strategy planner and questions for media programmers.

Livsstilsprogrammer har siden slutningen af 1990’erne domineret programfladen i den tidlige prime time på de danske public service-kanaler DR og TV 2. Dermed er emner, som figurerer i bl.a. magasiner og ugeblade, massivt rykket ind på tv’s sendeflade. Bolig, have, mad, ferie, krop og sundhed er indholdet i programmer, der både vil informere, give gode råd og underholde seerne. Artiklen fokuserer på underholdningsdimensionen i tre kategorier af livsstilsprogrammer og undersøger elementer, der kan tænkes at fremme motivationen for at se dem. Her lægges vægten på hhv. vidensperspektivets kompetenceaspekt og livsstilsbegrebets imaginative muligheder i relation til drømmen om ’det gode liv’ og ønsket om den forjættende forandring. Artiklen diskuterer endvidere, hvorledes public service-fjernsynet med disse livsstilsprogrammer har suppleret dets oplysende funktion med en opdaterende funktion, og hvordan dets tidligere kulturelt dannende funktion i kraft af disse programmers karakter af manual kan opfattes som en slags livsstilsguide i forhold til markedets forbrugsmuligheder. Lifestyle as TV entertainment Since the late 1990s lifestyle programmes have dominated early prime time on the Danish public service channels, DR and TV 2. For this reason topics that have traditionally figured in magazines extensively have entered television programming. House, garden, vacation, body, and health form the content of programmes which aim to both inform, advise and entertain viewers. The article primarily focuses on the aspects of entertainment in three main lifestyle categories and is concerned with elements that might promote viewers’ motivation for watching such programmes. Importance is attached to the competence aspect of knowledge and to the imaginative possibilities connected to the idea of lifestyle, related to daydreams, ideas of ‘the good life’, and a desire for promising change. Furthermore, the article discusses how public service has supplemented the educational function with a function of updating, and how the previous cultural educative function has changed with lifestyle programming in as far as this programming has a more instrumental character and may be regarded as a manual and guide to lifestyle related to the market.

General elections and regional head elections in Indonesia are conducted directly. The pattern of community participation is changed. The emergence of pragmatism or political pragmatism in society becomes an interesting political culture to study. Practically, pragmatism means a condition that encourages people to get benefits instantly. As a result, people take any actions to make it happen. In reality, pragmatism not only affects the upper classes (those with a high level of education) but also ordinary people (lower class society or those with low levels of political education). The development of money politics, cow trade politics, the sale of votes, or the existence of political dowry is a sign that there has been a political transaction becoming one of the indicators of pragmatism reality in society

Social competence and behavior problems of 87 children born weighing < 1501 g were measured using the Child Behavior Checklist when the children were 7 to 8 years old. Both premature boys and girls had significantly lower Social Competence scores than the normative samples of their respective sexes. Only premature boys had significantly higher Behavior Problems scores, with significantly higher scores on behaviors associated with conduct disorders. Premature children in each of three social class groups had significantly lower Social Competence scores and higher Behavior Problems scores than normative children. Furthermore, there was an interaction between prematurity and social class on Behavior Problems scores, with the greatest discrepancy in scores between premature and normative children in the lower-class group. Relative to other predictors, IQ score best explained Social Competence scores and family stability best explained Behavior Problems scores in the premature sample.

AbstractContentious politics produces diverse leadership styles that may all be salient to a country’s electorate. This article explores key cultural frames that allow politicians to project both superiority and closeness to lower-class populations, hinged on different criteria of legitimacy. In the Philippine electoral arena, the established “patronage frame” is challenged by new political contenders who put forward the “oppression frame” of class politics, the “good governance” frame of liberal reformers, and the populist frame of media celebrities-turned-politicians. Given the salience of multiple frames, ordinary people may employ seemingly contradictory criteria of superiority and legitimacy and combine these effortlessly when they choose whom to vote for. This article suggests a social logic of frame diversity.
