AbstractThe purpose of this analysis is to expose the issue of women objectification in novel The Testaments (2019) by Margaret Atwood. The issue of women objectification refers to the various ways men objectify and subordinate women’s characters in every aspect of women’s life. This analysis focuses on men’s actions in restricting women’s life choices and using religion as a shield to regulate women’s body. This analysis is text-based interpretation based on the concept of women objectification theory proposed by Martha Nusbaum. This analysis uses fictional devices such as character, plot (conflict) and setting that contribute in revealing the issue. The result of the study reveals the way men objectify women is done two ways; they are choice restriction and religion distortion.

Is the devout life a form of mysticism? Noting recent trends in the discussion of mysticism it is concluded that it is ‘mystical’ only if this is not confused with an experientially oriented spirituality or negative theology. Revisiting the relationship between will and affection, it is argued that the annihilation of the self opens the way for a spiritual life marked by dynamic movement and openness, in contrast to a claustrophobic self defined by volitional necessity. Although preferring silence, the devout authors believe devotion is set in motion by a divine call, but in post-Christian society, the motive power of basic life-choices is widely regarded as either ‘life’ or the internalized voices of society. How could a call from God be possible and how would one know it to be from God? These questions end Part 1 of the enquiry and set the stage for Part 2, The Rhetorics of the Word.

ABSTRACTDramatari Amba Bisma is one of the works of Iyus Ruslianan and Eti Mulyati from the results of researchon the art that was performed at the Sunan Ambu Building, on October 28, 2019. The Dramatari wassourced from the Mahabharata and Bharatayuda plays, from the Mahabharata play that sparked the meetingof Amba and Bisma while still on October 28, 2019. girls and young men who differed in their desiresand purpose in life, while from Bharatayuda’s story told about the death of Bhishma in the Bharatayudawar. This article aims to reveal the figure of Bhishma in Amba Bhishma’s drama, Bhishma is one of thecharacters in puppets who are magic and do not want to be crowned as kings for the Hastinapur family,he chose the way of life as a receipt rather than as a king. Because of his life choices, he was determined notto get married. Not only does Bhishma have a very problematic way of life, but many positive qualitiesdeserve to be emulated. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach, namelythrough literature study, interviews, and participatory observation. The results obtained from the analysisof Amba Bisma’s dramatari work can be seen by two positive characters in Bisma, namely; 1) sacrifices.2) More loyal to the knight’s oath than to the family that is most dear. During the Baratayuda Bisma waras warlord on the Kurawa side, he was killed by Srikandi’s arrow.Keywords: Bhishma, Dramatari,Mahabharata,BharatayudaABSTRAKDramatari Amba Bisma merupakan salah satu karya Iyus Ruslianan dan Eti Mulyati dari hasilpenelitian karya seni yang di pertunjukan di Gedung Sunan Ambu, pada tanggal 28 Oktober2019. Dramatari tersebut bersumber dari lakon Mahabharata dan Bharatayuda, dari lakonMahabharata menceritkan pertemuan Amba dan Bisma saat masih gadis dan jejaka yangberbeda keingin dan tujuan hidupnya, sedangkan dari lakon Bharatayuda menceritakan tetanggugurnya Bisma dalam perang Bharatayuda. Artikel ini bertujuan ingin mengungkapkantokoh Bisma dalam dramatari Amba Bisma, yakni Bisma merupakan salah satu tokoh dalampewayangan yang merupakan tokoh sakti dan tidak bersedia dinobatkan sebagai raja demikesatuan keluarga Hastinapura, Bisma memilih jalan hidup sebagai resi ketimbang sebagai raja.Hal ini diperkuat dengan keyakinannya, untuk tidak menikah. Bisma tidak hanya memiliki jalanhidup yang sangat problematik, akan tetapi banyak sifat positif yang pantas untuk diteladani.Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analisis, yaitu melaluistudi pustaka, wawancara, dan observasi partisipasi. Hasil yang diperoleh dari analisis garapandramatari Amba Bisma dapat diketahui dua karakter positif yang ada pada diri Bisma yaitu; 1)suka berkorban. 2) Lebih setia pada sumpah kesatria ketimbang dengan keluarga yang palingdisayangi. Pada perang Baratayuda Bisma sebagai panglima perang di pihak Kurawa menemuiajalnya tertusuk panahnya Srikandi.Kata Kunci: Tokoh Bisma, dramatari, Mahabharata, Bharatayuda

Wordplay can be described as the way of making or using words to create additional meaning for some purposes. Using a qualitative approach, this study discusses the wordplay translation in literary work especially in dystopian fiction using Delabastita’s translation techniques of wordplay. The data derived from a novel entitled The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood as the source text and its subsequent translation in Bahasa Indonesia entitled The Handmaid’s Tale – Kisah Sang Handmaid as the target text. From 50 data retrieved, the result shows that the most frequently applied technique in wordplay translation is Wordplay to Non-Wordplay that appears 25 times or 50%. The result of this study illustrates that the translation of wordplay in this literary work tends not to preserve the author’s style of writing but one of the author’s intended meanings.

This study uses descriptive qualitative method which focusing on the literary work in the novel and interpretation on the analysis. The main data is taken from the novel The Handmaid’s Tale written by Margaret Atwood. This subject of study focus on the influences of totalitarianism held in the Republic of Gilead and how Offred resists totalitarianism in the novel. In order to analyze the text, this study uses the theory of Totalitarianism by Friedrich and Brzeziinski and Hannah Arendt. The result of this analysis depicts the political system of totalitarianism in Gilead influences their societies, especially Offred and the way to resist against the regime. The features of totalitarianism are used to depict the characteristics of totalitarianism that happen in Gilead society. The totalitarianism ideology brings Offred’s action to resist against it.

RESUMOO constituinte originário brasileiro optou pelo modelo de Constituição rígida, no qual o sistema de controle de constitucionalidade das leis objetiva averiguar se a norma infraconstitucional está em consonância com as diretrizes previstas no texto constitucional. O presente artigo versa sobre o controle repressivo de constitucionalidade incidental, com ênfase no mecanismo constitucional que permite ao Senado Federal suspender a execução de lei declarada inconstitucional pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal e na verificação de aplicabilidade da teoria da objetivação do controle difuso no Direito brasileiro. O estudo analisa brevemente os sistemas repressivos de controle de constitucionalidade que influenciaram o sistema brasileiro, noticia aspectos históricos do controle pátrio, apresenta características processuais e o modo como é processada a arguição de inconstitucionalidade na via incidental, verifica a atuação senatorial no sistema difuso, e, ao fim, examina a possibilidade de o Supremo Tribunal Federal, de acordo com sua vontade, aplicar da teoria de objetivação no âmbito desse sistema.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Constituição Federal; Supremacia Constitucional; Controle de Constitucionalidade; Mutação Constitucional; Teoria da Objetivação ABSTRACTThe Brazilian constituent opted for the rigid Constitutional model, in which the constitutionality control system of the laws aims to determine if the infraconstitutional norm is in line with the guidelines established in the constitutional text. This article deals with the repressive control of incidental constitutionality, with emphasis on the constitutional mechanism that allows the Federal Senate to suspend the execution of a law declared unconstitutional by the Federal Supreme Court and to verify the applicability of the theory of objectivation of diffuse control in Law Brazilian. The study briefly analyzes the repressive systems of constitutionality control that influenced the Brazilian system, notices historical aspects of the parental control, presents procedural characteristics and the way in which the argument of unconstitutionality is processed in the incidental way, verifies the senatorial performance in the diffuse system, and, in the end, it examines the possibility of the Federal Supreme Court, according to its will, to apply objectification theory within this system.KEYWORDS: Federal Constitution; Constitutional Supremacy; Constitutionality Control; Constitutional Mutation; Theory of Objectivation.

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.

Ap stars are peculiar in many aspects. During this century astronomers have been trying to collect data about these and have found a confusing variety of peculiar behaviour even from star to star that Struve stated in 1942 that at least we know that these phenomena are not supernatural. A real push to start deeper theoretical work on Ap stars was given by an additional observational evidence, namely the discovery of magnetic fields on these stars by Babcock (1947). This originated the concept that magnetic fields are the cause for spectroscopic and photometric peculiarities. Great leaps for the astronomical mankind were the Oblique Rotator model by Stibbs (1950) and Deutsch (1954), which by the way provided mathematical tools for the later handling pulsar geometries, anti the discovery of phase coincidence of the extrema of magnetic field, spectrum and photometric variations (e.g. Jarzebowski, 1960).

I do not have access to the abstracts of the first meeting of EMSA but at this, the 50th Anniversary meeting of the Electron Microscopy Society of America, I have an excuse to consider the historical origins of the approaches we take to the use of electron microscopy for the characterisation of materials. I have myself been actively involved in the use of TEM for the characterisation of heterogeneities for little more than half of that period. My own view is that it was between the 3rd International Meeting at London, and the 1956 Stockholm meeting, the first of the European series , that the foundations of the approaches we now take to the characterisation of a material using the TEM were laid down. (This was 10 years before I took dynamical theory to be etched in stone.) It was at the 1956 meeting that Menter showed lattice resolution images of sodium faujasite and Hirsch, Home and Whelan showed images of dislocations in the XlVth session on “metallography and other industrial applications”. I have always incidentally been delighted by the way the latter authors misinterpreted astonishingly clear thickness fringes in a beaten (”) foil of Al as being contrast due to “large strains”, an error which they corrected with admirable rapidity as the theory developed. At the London meeting the research described covered a broad range of approaches, including many that are only now being rediscovered as worth further effort: however such is the power of “the image” to persuade that the above two papers set trends which influence, perhaps too strongly, the approaches we take now. Menter was clear that the way the planes in his image tended to be curved was associated with the imaging conditions rather than with lattice strains, and yet it now seems to be common practice to assume that the dots in an “atomic resolution image” can faithfully represent the variations in atomic spacing at a localised defect. Even when the more reasonable approach is taken of matching the image details with a computed simulation for an assumed model, the non-uniqueness of the interpreted fit seems to be rather rarely appreciated. Hirsch et al., on the other hand, made a point of using their images to get numerical data on characteristics of the specimen they examined, such as its dislocation density, which would not be expected to be influenced by uncertainties in the contrast. Nonetheless the trends were set with microscope manufacturers producing higher and higher resolution microscopes, while the blind faith of the users in the image produced as being a near directly interpretable representation of reality seems to have increased rather than been generally questioned. But if we want to test structural models we need numbers and it is the analogue to digital conversion of the information in the image which is required.
