Based on the Hegelian dialectic of the servant-master, this comedy represents, with the sarcasm and irony typical of its author, a profound reflection on the relationships between human beings. Starting from the local, with a pungent criticism on the social and political condition of Egypt in the Sixties, the two protagonists Farfūr and the Master guide and involve the spectator in a consideration on humanity and on the meaning of life that reaches universality. Divided into two acts, the comedy has no precise indications about time and space, which is confused with the time of representation, also thanks to the involvement of actors who are among the spectators. Discussing each other on names, trades and interpersonal relationships, the two protagonists criticise corruption, poor management of public health, social inequalities, but also the intellectual class that fails to give answers to people’s practical needs. The division in two of human society is even more evident with the second act, when the author’s reflection moves towards the existing organisational and economic systems, dismantling the complexity and reducing them again to a mere servant-master relationship. The other characters of the play are functional to the discourse of Idrīs: wives and children, spectators-actors and especially the figure of the author, who gradually disappears and abandons his own creatures to their fate.

<b>Abstract</b> This text describes the connection between the social sciences and contextual theology. The social sciences investigate the way people relate in society via various institutions and structures, which facilitate relationships in the economic, cultural and political spheres.The social sciences also investigate the way human beings relate to nature for two reasons, namely to defend themselves against the power of nature, and also to enable them to benefit from nature. Systematic theology studies the relationship between God and humanity in light of revelation and faith. Contextual theology investigates to what extent human institutions and structures, interpersonal relationships and the relationship between humanity and nature, become a help or a hindrance to expressing faith in the Lord, and to listening to what is said by God in God’s revelation to humankind. <b>Keywords:</b> Social Sciences, Contextual Theology, Society, People, Institution, Humanity, Relationship, Lord, Structures. <b>Abstrak:</b> Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan hubungan antara ilmu-ilmu sosial dan teologi kontekstual. Ilmu-ilmu sosial menyelidiki hubungan manusia dengan manusia dalam masyarakat melalui berbagai institusi dan struktur yang memungkinkan dan memudahkan hubungan itu dalam ekonomi, kebudayaan, dan politik. Ilmu-ilmu sosial juga meneliti hubungan manusia dengan alam dalam kaitannya dengan dua tujuan, yaitu mempertahankan diri terhadap kekuatan alam, dan memanfaatkan alam untuk keperluan hidupnya. Di sini teknologi dan ekonomi memainkan peranan yang menentukan. Teologi sistematik meneliti berbagai aspek relasi Tuhan dengan manusia melalui wahyu serta relasi manusia dengan Tuhan melalui iman.

Human beings as social beings in an effort to meet the needs of their lives are always doing economic activities. To regulate these economic activities, there are several economic systems that can be applied, some that adhere to the capitalist economic system, some that adhere to the social economic system. But as Muslims should impose an economic system can put the interests of the people above personal interests so as to create rationality in conducting economic activities. As a human being who has lust tends to have excessive consumption behavior (israf), but man also has a sense that is able to control consumptive nature so that in fulfilling the needs of his life man always control himself to be free from israf behavior.  In the making of this journal the author uses qualitative research methods with literature research. Keywords: Rationality, Islamic Economy, Israf

The decades of the sixties, seventies, and eighties are analyzed as representing the thesis, antithesis, and synthesis of the humanistic dialectic. The sixties represented the decade of independence, affluence, hedonism, dissent, tolerance and non-interference, permissiveness, self-expression, self-actualization, and individualism. The seventies epitomized the advent of dependence, scarcity, anxiety, competitiveness, Puritanism, patriotism, hierarchy, cognition, productive efficiency, and obedience. The lesson of the sixties and seventies is that humanism and humanistic education in the eighties must help us to move from the idea of the isolated self to that of the social, independent, synergetic self. The skills, knowledge, and attitudes of collaboration, mutual creativity, conflict resolution, communication, political sensitivity, and organizational competence will have to become paramount if humanism, humanistic education, and human beings are to flourish in the last decades of the twentieth century.

- The spatial mobility of tangible entities in a global society, The paper handles some tangible consequences of the mobiletic revolution, as a necessary but not exhaustive catalyst of the evolutionary process of globalization whose effects have deep repercussions on the social, economic and territorial organization of the social system both at a national and an international level. For the social scientists coining the formula "mobiletic revolution" by the middle of the Sixties, the overall results seem to be expressed by a new global society benefiting a sharp drop of space friction. Today, the related consequences of it find their evidence in the people, goods and information mobility, respectively through public and private networks, through the transport system and finally through the communication structure development. In turn, such changes produce a number of interactions and synergies caused by the growth of each of the three mobility carriers, which gradually brought the human beings to an ambiguous cultural adjustment as regards the new shaped space-time dimensions. Key words: mobiletic revolution, social change, social relations, mobility carriers.

Archaeologists have long debated the potential role of iconographic repertoires in reconstructing prehistoric ontologies and symbolic systems. The rich and complex imagery unearthed at Pre-Pottery Neolithic Göbekli Tepe (Turkey) has offered a promising ground to address this issue further. Previous interpretations have focused on the symbolic meaning of the depictions, often highlighting their male-centred and violent connotations, while overlooking the spatial and performative contexts of the depictions. This paper engages with this scholarly work in order to propose a new interpretation based on the anthropological framework of relational ontologies and on the analysis of some stylistic and contextual aspects of the iconography. Based on these premises, the curvilinear enclosures of Göbekli Tepe are interpreted as places of encounter devoted to interpersonal relationships among human and non-human agents, enabled by the intermediary role of images. The use of particular techniques of visual representation—including cues of motion and an emphasis on three-dimensionality—along with the centripetal orientation of the animal figures contributed to the animation of the depicted animals and to a sense of convergence of human and non-human beings in the social space of the enclosures.

Abstract The penetration of the 5G Internet and big data communication into human society brings about the survival basis of the social opportunistic networks. Using mobile terminal devices for communication makes the communication of nodes in the social opportunistic network intermittent, because nodes may be in motion all the time. In social opportunistic networks, data communication activities can be recorded and analyzed by evaluating communication activities of human beings or determining their interest points. However, the identification of nodes with the same or similar types of attributes among a large number of user nodes, has become a research problem in the field of social opportunistic networks. How to find an effective method to classify nodes according to their social characteristics and similarity degree becomes the key point of social opportunistic network data forwarding process. In this study, we proposed a method of community mining by decomposition of node and community relationship matrix with large social network data attributes. By using the regular type and iterative community features among community-rule-meet nodes, the method is proved to be converged and yield a minimum solution. Experimental results show that the proposed method exhibits strong application value.
