Isra' Mi'raj is a very important historical event for Muslims around the world. In Islam, the commemoration of Isra' and Mi'raj is a momentum to upgrade faith, add insight and motivation to worship, especially in maintaining the five daily prayers. The journey of Isra' Mi'raj is believed to be the most sacred prophetic spiritual journey, so it is natural that many Quraysh residents of Mecca at that time doubted its truth. Commemorating Isra' and Mi'raj including the realm of ikhtilaf al-fuqaha from the past until now. But the most mu'tabar opinion states the ability (al-Jawaz) in commemorating Isra' Mi'raj to achieve benefit for the religious community. This opinion is believed by the Muslim community in Mandailing Natal Regency. This paper presents a portrait of the habits of Muslims in Mandailing Natal Regency in commemorating Isra' and Mi'raj as one of the efforts to foster religious spirit to make Mandailing Natal Regency a civilized one. This research is a field research with a qualitative method with a religious approach to explain the practice of religious spirit that should bring every Muslim in Mandailing Natal Regency to practice Islamic teachings in accordance with the spirit contained in the Isra' and Mi'raj events. In addition, the custom of the Mandailing Natal community in commemorating Isra' and Mi'raj needs to be maintained and preserved as a form of local wisdom in order to realize Mandailing Natal which has the slogan of a traditional country, obedient to worship.Isra’ Mi’raj adalah peristiwa bersejarah yang sangat penting bagi umat Islam seluruh dunia. Dalam Islam, peringatan Isra’ dan Mi’raj merupakan momentum untuk mengupgrade keimanan, menambah wawasan dan motivasi beribadah terutama dalam menjaga salat lima waktu. Perjalanan Isra’ Mi’raj diyakini sebagai perjalanan rohani kenabian yang paling sakral sehingga wajar bila penduduk kafir Quraisy Kota Makkah saat itu banyak yang meragukan akan kebenarannya. Memperingati Isra’ dan Mi’raj termasuk ranah ikhtilaf al-fuqaha dari dahulu sampai sekarang. Namun pendapat yang paling mu’tabar menyatakan kebolehan (al-jawaz) dalam memperingati Isra’ Mi’raj untuk mencapai maslahat bagi masyarakat beragama. Pendapat inilah yang diyakini oleh masyarakat muslim di Kabupaten Mandailing Natal. Tulisan ini menyajikan potret kebiasaan umat Islam di Kabupaten Mandailing Natal dalam memperingati Isra’ dan Mi’raj sebagai salah satu upaya memupuk semangat beragama menjadikan Kabupaten Mandailing Natal yang madani. Penelitian ini merupakan field research dengan metode kualitiatif dengan pendekatan keagamaan guna menjelaskan praktik semangat keagamaan yang seharusnya membawa setiap umat Islam di Kabupaten Mandailing Natal mengamalkan ajaran Islam sesuai dengan spirit yang terkandung pada peristiwa Isra’ dan Mi’raj. Selain itu, kebiasaan masyarakat Mandailing Natal dalam memperingati Isra’ dan Mi’raj ini perlu dijaga dan dilestarikan sebagai bentuk kearifan lokal guna mewujudkan Mandailing Natal yang memiliki slogan negeri beradat, taat berbibadat.

Misery rarely features in conversations about democracy. And yet, in the past decades, global audiences are increasingly confronted with spectacles of human pain. The world is more stressed, worried, and sad today than we have ever seen it, a Gallup poll finds. Does democracy stand a chance in a time of widespread suffering? Drawing on three years of field research among communities affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, this book offers ethnographic portraits of how collective suffering, trauma, and dispossession enlivens democratic action. It argues that emotional forms of communication create publics that assert voice and visibility at a time when attention is the scarcest resource, whilst also creating hierarchies of misery among suffering communities. Democracy in a Time of Misery investigates the ethical and political value of democracy in the most trying of times and reimagines how the virtues of deliberative practice can be valued in the context of widespread suffering.

This study deals with haircare, hair ornaments, hairstyles, and hairrelated rituals of the Southern Altaians (Altai Kizhi, Telengits) and their development over time. Haircare has played an important role in Altaian society for centuries. It has been a ritual symbol, an indicator of gender, age, marital or social status. In context, hair has played a significant cultural and social role across societies and historical periods around the world. For this reason, haircare has also been sometimes included among the so-called cultural or human universals, i.e. phenomena that are common to all known human cultures in time and space. The source of information for this study was the authors’ own field research, relevant literature and visual sources documenting the broader context of haircare. The issue is viewed from historical and cultural perspectives, with the main focus on the current haircare of the Altaian people in connection with changes compared to the past. The study focuses on selected phenomena that proved to be the most important in the field research in terms of their existence and the role they currently play in Altaian society. It does not therefore aim to cover the full breadth of the topic, but leaves room for further research on sub-topics.

Tertiary institutions all over the world including Nigeria are known for academic and moral excellence aimed at shaping leaders and intellectuals for the development of the world. However, the moral fabric that holds the tertiary institutions is seriously eroded because of the menace of sexual harassment to the female students in a developing country like Nigeria. Although, the menace is not only peculiar to tertiary institutions but across all workplace where male and female interact and relate with each other. In recent time the menace has negatively change the integrity and respect accosted for people in the tertiary institutions occasioned by incessant report of sexual harassment mostly directed to female students. Thus, there is constant need and clamour for way through which female students sexual harassment can be fight to the barest minimum in our tertiary institutions especially as attempt to stop this menace in the past has not yielded little or no positive outcomes.

This article is motivated by the polemic surrounding watching the G30S/PKI film. The purpose of writing is to find new insights from film as one of the artifacts of popular culture: where film is a mirror of oneself, even a mirror of a nation. Through an effort to analyze the film Peng betrayan G30S/PKI, we capture a moral message about the gripping culture of a society that has suffered from chronic and traumatic historical wounds for so long. Through this film, we find a picture of power that appears as an “interpretation regime”, which monopolizes and controls the interpretation of the world of signs and symbols, namely the G30S/PKI film, so that the truth is bent for the sake of political propaganda. With a qualitative method, this paper intends to construct emancipatory meanings through reading films that speak of small narratives that function as trauma healers, and whose presence becomes an opponent for the domination of the big narratives of a nation's history. The results of this study confirm that the trauma passed down from generation to generation is faced not by running from it, but rather by facing it, re-watching it, making it a mirror of our own modesty in the past. It can be concluded that the narrative of a film is a means to restore spiritual shame, so that we can appreciate the shame of failing before God, to be restored and empowered again as a new human being.

In the courses on U.S. history I teach in Mexico, this speech by Maine congressman Severance serves well to illustrate arguments of the opposition movement to the U.S.-Mexican War. Severance offers a variety of reasons for his anti-war stand, but to my students I like to emphasize this particular one, for it follows a logic contrary to their nationally-framed perceptions. What Severance suggests here, is that these two countries share a common identity, namely that of being “the two largest republics of the world” based on “the principles of civil liberty and elective government,” and that therefore they ought not to be at war. My insistence on a perspective that views the commonalities of the two countries' historic experiences has been futile, however, when teaching about a war that resulted in the “transfer” - to put it in neutral terms - of over half of Mexico's national territory to the U.S. Students are little impressed by this congressman's (and my own) argumentation and stress instead what divides Mexico and the U.S., not only with regard to this historical event, but also with regard to the countries' pasts as a whole. For instance, in a conference at a university in Toluca, my efforts to make my audience understand the internal dynamics of U.S. foreign policy during the 19th century not only appeared to fall on deaf ears but also provoked nearly hostile reactions.

The Way

This book defines, analyses, and theorises a late modern ‘etymological poetry’ that is alive to the past lives of its words, and probes the possible significance of them both explicitly and implicitly. Close readings of poetry and criticism by Auden, Prynne, and Muldoon investigate the implications of their etymological perspectives for the way their language establishes relationships between people, and between people and the world. These twin functions of communication and representation are shown to be central to the critical reception of etymological poetry, which is a category of ‘difficult’ poetry. However resonant poetic etymologising may be, critics warn that it shows the poet’s natural interest in language degenerating into an unhealthy obsession with the dictionary. It is unavoidably pedantic, in the post-Saussurean era, to entertain the idea that a word’s history might have any relevance to its current use. As such, etymological poetry elicits the closest of close readings, thus encouraging readers to reflect not only on its own pedantry, obscurity, and virtuosity, but also on how these qualities function in criticism. As well as presenting a new way of reading three very different late modern poet-critics, this book addresses an understudied aspect of the relationship between poetry and criticism. Its findings are situated in the context of literary debates about difficulty and diction, and in larger cultural conversations about the workings of language as a historical event.

This paper is a study in mapping out more about the process of formation of the Muslim community in Indonesia. History is a reconstruct of the past.

In this description, the writer describes the entry and the development of Islam in Indonesia with discussion; process and the introduction of Islam to Indonesia, acceptance by indigenous and institutionalization of Islam in society.
