Head Covering

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.

Hornedo, a literature icon asserts that “A piece of literature documents the world and the worldview of its author.” Accordingly, some literary pieces can provide information on the socio-political and cultural background of a certain society. Anchored on this premise, this paper aimed to identify the aesthetics of satire in Merlinda Bobis’ Banana Heart Summer. It also sought to unveil the novel’s message and the author’s manner of criticizing the novel’s social setup. Specifically, it sought to describe the novel’s theme, tone, structure and style, as well as the socio-political and cultural aspects using food as primary trope. The paper also aimed to present the reality frame of the depicted societal problems of the Filipinos in general and those of Bicolanos in particular. The formalist theory was applied in the treatment of material, which is a satire, and being so, the researcher also applied defamiliarization theory, through devices such as tropes and social realism, as it forms part of the aesthetics of satire that can help identify the ideology behind the author’s work. The researcher grouped the identified satirical techniques into five: exaggeration, incongruity, parody, reversal, and defamiliarization.  In conclusion, this paper asserts that Bobis wrote the material for the readers to see the flaws of the society; alongside, she also implicitly offers a solution or presents the possibility of curing the social ills highlighted in the novel. Keywords—Literature, aesthetics of satire, defamiliarization, Banana heart summer, Bicolanos,  Filipinos,  formalist-contextual analysis, Philippines

The Media

The involvement of media speech in the society activities determines the relevance of studying the media text components in the extralinguistic aspect. The social conditionality of media neoderivatives contributes to their research in linguopragmatic and socio-cultural aspects. The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of Russian neoderivatives reflecting current social realities. The research material include lexical and word-formation innovations in the texts of printed and electronic media of the beginning of the 21st century. In the course of the study, the methods of structural and semantic analysis of neoderivatives, word-formation analysis, content analysis, contextual analysis, descriptive and classification methods were used. As a result of the research, thematic groups of neoderivatives reflecting current Russian realities were identified (neoderivatives on pandemic topics; neoderivatives reflecting digital reality, Internet realities, business realities, etc.); the actual word-formation means and methods of creating the considered neoderivatives are determined (the usual methods of suffixation, prefixation, prefixoidation, addition of agglutinative type; the non-usual method of contamination, as well as the non-usual methods of creating polycode neoderivatives, in particular hyphenation, parenthesis, quotation, the use of ideograms and numbers, font and color selections); as a result of contextual analysis of media texts, the main functions of neoderivatives are characterized (nominative, expressive-evaluative, ludic). The conducted research is characterized by the novelty of the speech and language material and identifies the specifics of the socio-cultural and linguocognitive perception of reality in the modern language consciousness of the representatives of Russian society. The results of the research contribute to the solution of practical problems of journalism.

The 11th Street Bridge Park is an ambitious project that will connect Washington DC Wards 6 and 8 by replacing a retired bridge across the Anacostia River. The new 11th Street Bridge will be the city's first elevated public park built on the piers of the old bridge. The Bridge Park will feature local food, recreation, health, and the arts. The UDC College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability, and Environmental Sciences (CAUSES) is a key partner in the project and has worked with community groups to anchor the bridge park through community gardens, food production workshops, and nutrition classes. Over 200 raised bed gardens have been built, and Ward 6 and 8 residents have learned to grow and prepare food. While the Bridge Park builds a physical bridge, the community work of CAUSES brings the social and cultural aspects of the project into focus. This chapter describes the transformative work of empowering urban residents to grow food and to use their local expertise in collaboration with CAUSES land-grant specialists to improve their economic condition and adopt healthier lifestyles.

AbstractThere is a tendency in migration research to view artistic and cultural practices of immigrants and their descendants as well as the research of such practices as less relevant for our understanding of migration. This explains why it has long been a neglected area of research in the social sciences, as Marco Martiniello explains in his contribution to this volume. The present article argues that drawing such boundaries prevents us from seeing the joint aims not only of migration research in the social sciences and the humanities, but also of this research and the arts. It prevents us from seeing the potential of joining forces in our struggle for change towards more equal societies. The article explains how social science research and artistic and cultural practices can be regarded as two supplementary methods of struggling for equality that together have a greater chance of reaching this aim. Artistic and cultural practices contribute perspectives for changing community narratives to this process of change. These are essential for political and social change as they are championed in the social sciences.

Historical Epoch

Purpose Authenticity has emerged as a prevailing purchase criterion that seems to include both real and stylised versions of the truth. The purpose of this paper is to address the negotiation of authenticity by examining the means by which costume designers draw on cues such as historical correctness and imagination to authenticate re-enactments of historical epochs in cinematic artwork. Design/methodology/approach To understand and analyse how different epochs were re-enacted required interviewing costume designers who have brought reimagined epochs into being. The questions were aimed towards acknowledging the socio-cultural circulation of images that practitioners draw from in order to project authenticity. This study was conducted during a seven-week internship at a costume store called Independent Costume in Stockholm as part of a doctoral course in cultural production. Findings Authenticity could be found in citations that neither had nor resembled something with an indexical link to the original referent as long as the audience could make a connection to the historical epoch sought to re-enact. As such, it would seem that imagination and historical correctness interplay in impressions of authenticity. Findings suggest that performances of authentication are influenced by socially instituted discursive practices (i.e. jargons) and collective imagination. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature on social and performative aspects of authentication as well as its implications for brands in the arts and culture sector.

Using the ecological system theory this article illustrates how risk factors are located at different ecosystem levels that can have a direct and indirect impact on child scavengers. This research uses qualitative research method with descriptive research type. The data were collected by observation and in-depth interviews on teachers, parents and scavengers. The results of the study stated that there are influential factors that are included in the risk factors faced by children at each level of the system. In micro-systems there are risk factors derived from the influence of parents, school teaching and peer groups. At the level of meso-system can be derived from the relationship between parents and teachers, at the exo-system level there are factors that affect the child that is from the social and economic conditions of the family, living conditions and the lack of social support for parents. At the macro-system level can be how the mindset and lifestyle that exist in the scavengers community environment can affect the development of scavengers. Recognizing the existing risk factors at every level of life of child scavengers can be applied in the development of more effective intervention strategies for the fulfillment welfare of child scavengers.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

This article offers a ‘post-heritage’ reading of both iterations of Upstairs Downstairs: the LondonWeekend Television (LWT) series (1971–5) and its shortlived BBC revival (2010–12). Identifying elements of subversion and subjectivity allows scholarship on the LWT series to be reassessed, recognising occasions where it challenges rather than supports the social structures of the depicted Edwardian past. The BBC series also incorporates the post-heritage element of self-consciousness, acknowledging the parallel between its narrative and the production’s attempts to recreate the success of its 1970s predecessor. The article’s first section assesses the critical history of the LWT series, identifying areas that are open to further study or revised readings. The second section analyses the serialised war narrative of the fourth series of LWT’s Upstairs, Downstairs (1974), revealing its exploration of female identity across multiple episodes and challenging the notion that the series became more male and upstairs dominated as it progressed. The third section considers the BBC series’ revised concept, identifying the shifts in its main characters’ positions in society that allow the series’ narrative to question the past it evokes. This will be briefly contrasted with the heritage stability of Downton Abbey (ITV, 2010–15). The final section considers the household of 165 Eaton Place’s function as a studio space, which the BBC series self-consciously adopts in order to evoke the aesthetics of prior period dramas. The article concludes by suggesting that the barriers to recreating the past established in the BBC series’ narrative also contributed to its failure to match the success of its earlier iteration.
