This study is a cultural sociological inquiry regarding an ethnic group in West Sumatra Indonesia, the Minangkabau. Specifically, it compares electoral choices of female legislators in Minangkabau with the situation in Riau Province period 2004-2009, where there has been a long tradition of Minangkabau migration but where local norms have adapted to a more patriarchal Malay system. It is useful to compare Riau Province and West Sumatra because of the similarities in their general customs. Both societies belong to the Malay ethnic group, with Islam as the dominant religion in which 88% Muslim out of total population in Riau and 98% Muslim in West Sumatra. The population in Riau is 5,308,702 and West Sumatra is 5,400,000. A discourse related to offering opportunities to female representative is known as 30% quota for women as candidate legislator. The number of candidate legislator in Riau greater than West Sumatra, the ratio is 180:163 or 28%: 26%. However, the result is not parallel; for provincial board council level West Sumatra has six female representatives and Riau province has three only. This gap between the ideal of giving opportunities to women in parliament and the fact that this number is actually less than 13% has made me curious to investigate. It is hope that through this study there is gender awareness within decision makers. They will concern to women’s issue and accede to women more opportunities to do activities in public space especially political field.The hypothesis is about female quota as an affirmative action is weak in implementation and is ineffective in providing more opportunities to women legislators in either West Sumatra or Riau. Then, however, the matrilineal society of West Sumatra is more open for women to assume public responsibilities, including those in the political arena and in education, than is the case in the more patriarchal society of Riau. These hypotheses will be analyzed through some interview to the female representative in two provinces. It is also will be conducted interview to the people surround the female representative such scholars, family relative, and male legislators.There are 12 people who become respondent, some of them are male representatives, female representatives in every province, and their relatives. The data that collected by interview, as part of qualitative method, are used to gather descriptive and narrative facts from matrilineal and patriarchal society. It will be useful to analyze the hypothesis in this thesis. To analyze data of women’s strategies in political field; a paradox of women’s activists in Muslim patriarchy and matrilineal society, some steps will be accomplished such as tape recorded interview will be transcribed, coded, and compared with observation and then to be concluded. In detail; first collection of verbal data, second, reading of these data, third breaking data into some kinds of parts, fourth organization and expression of data from a disciplinary perspective, and fifth making a synthesis and summary of the data for purposes of communication to the scholarly community.

This study, entitled Designing a Pop Up Book about the Struggle of the Women's Warrior Siti Manggopoh, discusses the history of a woman's heroism in leading the struggle against Dutch colonialism, which at that time implemented a money tax policy (belasting). The uprising occurred on June 15, 1908. The Manggopoh People's Struggle Movement led by Siti Manggopoh was able to influence other people so that they joined forces against the Dutch and the Manggopoh War broke out which the Dutch East Indies government could not forget. The history of the nation will be lost if it is not preserved. It takes various forms of effort and media design to introduce the history of the female warrior Siti Manggopoh to the people of West Sumatra in particular and Indonesia in general.

In this article, we discuss some of our research with Local Area Networks (LAN) in the context of sound installations or musical performances. Our systems, built on top of Web technologies, enable novel possibilities of collective and collaborative interaction, in particular by simplifying public access to the artwork by presenting the work through the web browser of their smartphone/tablet. Additionally, such a technical framework can be extended with so-called nano-computers, microprocessors and sensors. The infrastructure is completely agnostic as to how many clients are attached, or how they connect, which means that if the work is available in a public space, groups of friends, or even informally organised flash mobs, may engage with the work and perform the contents of the work at any time, and if available over the Internet, at any place. More than the technical details, the specific artistic directions or the supposed autonomy of the agents of our systems, this article focuses on how such ‘networks of devices’ interleave with the ‘network of humans’ composed of the people visiting the installation or participating in the concert. Indeed, we postulate that an important point in understanding and describing such proposals is to consider the relation between these two networks, the way they co-exist and entangle themselves through perception and action. To exemplify these ideas, we present a number of case studies, sound installations and concert works, very different in scope and artistic goal, and examine how this interaction is materialised from several standpoints.

AbstractThis article examines the traditional initiation of the former Senegalese Minister of Agriculture. At the age of fifty-five the Catholic Minister was initiated into the secrets of the sacred grove and thus acquired the status of adult man. The article demonstrates that Jola ethnic discourse, in which male initiation has become an important symbol, forced the Minister to enter the grove. His initiation turned him into a full member of the Jola ethnic group and qualified him as a trustworhty man capable of representing the people. In the campaign of the Socialist Party internal elections the Minister's initiation nevertheless became a major issue. The electorate did not show unswerving loyalty to ‘their’ Minister and nominated a non-initiate. The electorate suddenly changed their standards of apt political representation. The article contributes to the contemporary debate on citizenship and primary patriotism by showing that the Senegalese easily shift their position from subject to citizen, and thus empower themselves vis-à-vis elusive politicians. It also shows that politicians penetrate Jola practices of secrecy and thereby further the Jola's integration into the national public sphere.

The people of West Sumatra, who have been adhering to the Minangkabau matrilineal cultural tradition, are currently experiencing cultural decay. Many studies speculate that the unique Minangkabau culture will not be too much disturbed by the influx of globalization because in essence the only part that will be eroded is the peripheral part, while the core will remain preserved for all time. This study photographed the people of Tanjung Raya District based on existing family typologies, then saw a shift in norms passed on to teenagers using the six Hofstede cultural dimensions. This study surveyed five types of families with calculations using a simple addition operation. The results of the questionnaire were made high and low criteria, then presented in cobweb graphical form. The assessment indicators are based on the six dimensions of Hofstede's culture. Shifting the teachings of exemplary teachings from Minangkabau culture is determined using the ANOVA test. The results of this study are to map the portrait of Minangkabau culture according to Hofstede and a portrait of each of Hofstede's dimensions in each type of family in Tanjung Raya District. From there, it can be seen how far away the approach of the values taught by the family towards Minangkabau culture is approaching.

Indonesian netizens are often labeled as social media users at will without heeding politeness when interacting. This assessment is further confirmed by a survey conducted by Microsoft,  that Medsos users are labeled as netizens with the worst politeness level for Southeast Asia scale. The predicate is certainly aimed at allreligius netizens without emphasizing certain beliefs. The low politeness indicates the lack of social media ethics applied by the people of the country. Ironically, Indonesia is known as areligius and civilized country, it seems invisible if you look at the behavior of netizens who are. The method used in this paper is descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach. The description of this topic religion certainly teaches how politeness and politeness in the public space are displayed especially in social media, because politeness is an indikator we are called ethical or not. The principle of Christian ethics teaches that when using social media what a believer must do is not to do body shaming with other online media users, or not to comment racistically. Because God does not differentiate between fellow humans by loving one and not loving another just because humans are different physically, race or nation. The next principle of Christian ethics in social media is not to argue theologically and not to spit negative things. The goal is to avoid quarrels, let alone hate speech. Netizen Indonesia kerap di cap sebagai pengguna media sosial sesuka hati tanpa mengindahkan kesantunan ketika berinteraksi. Penilaian ini makin dipertegas melalui survei yang dilakukan oleh Microsoft,  bahwa pengguna Medsos dilabeli sebagai netizen dengan tingkat kesopanan paling buruk untuk skala Asia Tenggara. Predikat itu tentu ditujukan kepada semua netizen yang beragama tanpa menitik-beratkan keyakinan tertentu. Rendahnya kesopanan menandakan kurangnya etika bermedia sosial diterapkan oleh masyarakat tanah air. Ironisnya, Indonesia yang di kenal sebagai negara yang religius dan beradab, hal itu seakan tidak terlihat bila melihat perilaku netizen yang bar-bar. Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriftif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Uraian dari topik ini agama tentu mengajarkan bagaimana kesopanan dan kesantunan di ruang publik ditampilkan terlebih dalam bermedia sosial, karena kesopanan itu merupakan indikator kita di sebut beretika atau tidak. Prinsip etika Kristiani mengajarkan bahwa ketika bermedia sosial  yang  harus dilakukan orang Kristen  adalah tidak melakukanbody shaming kesesama pengguna media online, maupun tidak berkomentar secara rasis. Karena Allah tidak membeda-bedakan sesama manusia dengan mengasihi yang satu dan tidak mengasihi yang lain hanya karena manusia itu berbeda secara fisik, ras atau bangsa. Prinsip etika Kristiani berikutnya dalam bermedia sosial adalah tidak berdebat secara teologis dan tidak mengumbar hal negatif. Tujuannya  agar tidak terjadi pertengkaran apalagi ujaran kebencian.
