AbstractThis study aims to analyze the background and sustainability of plurality or diversity of Indonesian art and culture in the form of implementation as a revitalization of traditional performing arts. Qualitative research with an ethnographic approach and an emic and ethical point of view are employed to observe it. The richness of art —both material and non-material with its various aspects are created through struggles against nature, space, and time which are not always easy to address. The cone-shaped cultural wealth as an art is created from the depths of consciousness, understanding, and insight which are not simple but bearing various symbols. The use of symbols in the form of art lengthens its roots from one generation to the next as a representation of the clarity and wisdom of the crystallization of the intelligence of feelings and thoughts. Informal and non-formal educations are efforts which can be done by the present generation to confirm its sustainability. In the vastness of a very open global era, as intercultural interactions intensify, a strong and resilient culture is needed. As something inherited, the future sustainability lies in the hands of the generation, i.e. the society of the recipients in the present and the future.Keywords: Indonesian art; traditional dance; batik; mamacaAbstrakKeberlanjutan dan Penguatan Seni-Budaya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis latar belakang dan keberlanjutan pluralitas atau keberagaman seni budaya Indonesia dalam wujud pelaksanaan sebagai suatu revitalisasi seni pertunjukan tradisi. Penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografis dan sudut pandang emik serta etik ditempatkan untuk mencermatinya. Kekayaan seni – budaya baik bendawi maupun non bendawi dengan berbagai aspeknya diciptakan melalui pergulatan terhadap alam, ruang, dan waktu yang tidak selalu mudah disikapi. Kekayaan budaya yang mengerucut sebagai seni yang diciptakan dari kedalaman kesadaran, pemahaman, serta penghayatan yang tidak sederhana bermuatan berbagai simbol. Penggunaan simbol-simbol dalam wujud seni, memanjangkan akarnya dari satu generasi ke generasi berikutnya sebagai representasi kejernihan dan kearifan dari kristalisasi kecerdasan perasaan dan pikiran. Melalui dan di dalam pendidikan baik formal maupun non formal adalah upaya yang dapat dilakukan oleh generasi sekarang untuk meneguhkan keberlanjutannya. Di keluasan era global yang sangat terbuka, ketika interaksi kebudayaan antarbangsa semakin intensif, sungguh diperlukan ketahanan budaya yang sangat kuat dan tangguh. Sebagai sesuatu yang diwariskan, maka kelanjutannya di masa depan berada di tangan generasi pewarisnya, yaitu masyarakat penerimanya pada saat sekarang maupun yang akan datang.Kata kunci: kesenian Indonesia; tari tradisi; batik; mamaca

- The paper suggests some methodological considerations which, on the basis of a recent research on a medium enterprise in Italy, point out the reflexive and evaluative potential of the ethnographic approach to organizational analysis. The experience of reflexivity is not a spontaneous phenomenon. It represents the intentional effect of the debate among the actors about the report produced by the researcher. Thus it's possible to stimulate the reflexivity of actors also through more or less structured ways of debating a research in which they're implied. From this point of view driven reflexivity is, de facto, a practice of (self) evaluation in so far as the expositive modalities of the results of research which have to get strong narrative and descriptive features are able to involve actors and foster their interest and commitment to reflect and learn starting from the discussion of the interpretations (proposed by the researcher) of their practices. Key words: ethnography, organizational ethnography, qualitative research, reflexivity, narration (self)evaluation.

Through narratives and critical interrogations of classroom interactions, I sketch an argument for a co-constitutive relationship between qualitative research and pedagogy that imagines a more reflexive and socially just world. Through story, one comes to see an interplay between one's own experiences, one's own desires and one's community — I seek to focus that potential into an embodied pedagogy that highlights power and, as a result, holds all of us accountable for our own situated-ness in systems of power in ways that grant us potential places from which to enact change. Key in this discussion is a careful analytical point of view for seeing the world and a set of practices that work to imagine new ways of talking back.

Abstract Background The outbreak of SARS in 2002 lead to a public health ethics discourse. The crisis management of that time was ethically analysed and lessons to be learned discussed. Scholarship and WHO, among others, developed an ethics of pandemic preparedness. The current “corona crisis” also faces us with ethical challenges. This presentation is comparing the two crises from an ethical point of view and a focus on Europe. Methods An ethics framework for pandemic preparedness (Schröder et al. 2006 and Schröder-Bäck 2014) is used to make a synopsis of ethical issues. Ethical aspects of 2002 and 2020 that were discussed in the literature and in the media are compared. For 2020, the focus is on interventions in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Results Topics that emerged from the 2002 crisis were, among others, revolving around aspects of stigmatisation and fair distribution of scarce resources (esp. vaccines, antivirals). Currently, most urgent and ethically challenging aspects relate to social distancing vs. autonomy: Isolation and quarantine are handled differently across Europe and the EU. Questions of transferability of such interventions prevail. Contexts vary vertically over time (2002 vs. 2020) and horizontally (e.g. between Italy and Germany at the same time). Furthermore, trust in authorities, media and health information is a key issue. Conclusions Ethical aspects are key for good pandemic preparedness and management. The context of the crises between 2002 and 2020 has slightly changed, also based on “lessons learned” from 2002. This has implications on ethical issues that are being discussed. New lessons will have to be learned from the 2020 crisis. Key messages Pandemic preparedness and outbreak management entail many ethical tensions that need to be addressed. Currently, questions of trust and transferability are key to the crisis management, further ethical issues could still emerge.

The article uses case studies of artistic and cultural practices on Internet in Serbia (1996–2014) to provide a deeper analysis of possible uses of internet technology and internet art for social and political change as well as showcasing changing attitudes toward the internet in a transitional semi-periphery state. Through analyzing these questions, the article defines several phases of development of internet and art projects in Serbia including (a) the phase of techno-utopia when internet technology was used for staging and supporting student protests and the so-called first ‘internet revolution’ in Serbia (1996–1999); (b) the phase of ambivalence or ‘mixed feelings’ toward the Internet, triggered of by Kosovo War and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)-led bombing of 1999–2000; (c) the phase of optimism and hope about the Internet after the ‘October 5th’ revolution (2000–cc. 2005); and (d) the phase of disillusionment with both the Internet and democracy (2010–2014). This study re-evaluates early achievements and democratic principles of networked society and illuminates core issues and accomplishments of cyberculture from the 1990s until present times through the point of view of multiple actors present within Serbian art and culture.

The author begins with an outline of Bernard William's moral philosophy, within which he locates William's notorious doctrine that reflection can destroy ethical knowledge. He then gives a partial defence of this doctrine, exploiting an analogy between ethical judgements and tensed judgements. The basic idea is that what the passage of time does for the latter, reflection can do for the former: namely, prevent the re-adoption of an abandoned point of view (an ethical point of view in the one case, a temporal point of view in the other). In the final section the author says a little about how reflection might do this.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the main barriers and enablers for integrating technology enhanced learning (TEL) into a business organization based on a responsive paradigm. The study is based on a current literature review on challenges and learners’ needs for TEL and the preconditions for TEL curriculum integration into business organizations. The theoretical study is matched with a qualitative research on learners’ needs for TEL in two international business organizations from IT sector. Technology enhanced learning (TEL) is tackling different barriers for learning in organizations. However, to make it effective, specific technological and teaching solutions must be implemented. The research revealed that companies’ employees give preference to TEL than other forms of learning, and defined specific requirements for successful technology enhanced learning integration into business organisations. A theoretical literature review is followed by empirical findings of a qualitative research (focus group interviews) in two international IT companies. The findings of the research offer valuable insights for a responsive TEL integration into business organizations from the point of view of companies’ employees.
