The paper deals with the architecture and function of watermills in Swat valley. Watermill is a seldom-used term; however, it has played a significant role in the socio-cultural and economic lives of people in the past. This research work explores the case study of water mills in the Swat region. It examined in detail its processing and operation. The watermill was not only an instrument used for grinding purposes but also determined the mode of production, class system and social values of people. Modern technology has though changed people's behaviors and social formations up to a large extent, but it couldn't erase people's memories and history. A qualitative method has been used for conducting this research work. An ethnic-archaeological method was focused on recording the history of this tremendous ancient technology which contributed widely to the socio-cultural context of people.

Within the United States, the American South can be perceived as its own entity. From the arts to Southern cuisine, the South commands attention with its own history, myths and culture. Within the history of photography, Walker Evans's photographs of Alabama are arguably some of the most culturally significant images taken of the state and its residents. This thesis investigates how photographs of Alabama are collected in the same locality. By examining the collecting practices of four Alabama institutions in regards to photographs in general, and Walker Evans specifically, this case study will expand on the question of how photographs, in a Southern cultural context, work to create a sense of place and attachment to local geography.

In Italy the history of modern equipment design has shifted between ‘mass production and one-off’, as architects Gio Ponti and Antonio Fornaroli wrote in an article in the magazine Domus (1948). Starting from this important reflection by the two Italian architects, the article takes into consideration the case study of office furniture.The aim of the article is to identify the cultural landscape of Italian design during the twentieth century, taking into consideration the example of the office desk as fil rouge of the history of design in Italy.The methodology adopted is deductive: starting from the selection of some case studies (desks designed for some elitist furnishings or, vice versa, for serial reproduction) and in relation to the architectural and cultural context in which they were created, some key concepts are deduced in order to understand the progressive adherence of Italian architects to the idea of modernity, and then to the massification of industrial design. New materials and ancient ‘know-how’ have merged into projects that have distinguished the history of design in Italy as original.The conclusion highlights how in the history of Italian office furniture as a multi-faceted history, where elite furniture can become a democratic product, until it becomes part of the contemporary office.

In this article, I examine foreign investment in the socialist enterprise in the former Yugoslavia based on the case study of Kolektor in the context of the liberalized communist social and economic order. Foreign investments were allowed in the form of joint ventures. I present these investments from the viewpoint of economic reforms, the concept of socialist enterprise, and the concept of economic development, which enabled foreign investments and shaped regulation and the structure of foreign investments in Yugoslavia. The history of the case of Kolektor began at a time when Slovenia still belonged to the former Yugoslavia, which was arguably a liberalized type of communist economic system. This was during the Cold War, when both Europe and the rest of the world were divided essentially along the lines of the communist east and the capitalist west. The Kolektor Company was established in 1963 as a state socialist enterprise for the manufacture of the rotary electrical switches known as commutators. From the outset, the company tried to establish international cooperation to acquire modern technology. In 1968, it reached an agreement with the West German Company Kautt & Bux, which at the time was the technological and market leader in the production of commutators. Kautt & Bux invested in Kolektor and became an owner of 49 percent of the company. The investment proved very profitable for both partners. The Slovenian side got access to modern technology and expertise, and the German side got additional production facilities, skilled workers, and low-cost production, which increased its competitiveness on international markets.

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é propor uma leitura sobre a questão da técnica no pensamento de Heidegger. A hipótese que anima tal leitura é a seguinte: a técnica moderna é a metafísica do capitalismo, o que significa que o capitalismo não é unicamente um modo de produção da vida material, mas também uma metafísica. Para tornar o sentido dessa hipótese inteligível, será necessário explicar, num primeiro momento, a relação entre a questão da técnica e as noções de história do ser e de metafísica como onto-teologia, para que, num segundo momento, seja possível determinar a essência da técnica a partir de uma leitura cruzada Heidegger-Marx.Palavras-chave: Heidegger, Marx, técnica, metafísica, capitalismo Abstract: This paper aims to propose an interpretation of the question concerning technology in Heidegger’s thought. The hypothesis which animates this interpretation is the following one: the modern technology is the capitalism’s metaphysics, which means that the capitalism is not only a mode of production of material life, but also a metaphysics. To make the sense of this hypothesis intelligible, we will need to explain firstly the relationship between the question concerning technology and the notions of history of being and metaphysics as onto-theology; we will determine secondly the technology’s essence through a cross-reading between Heidegger and Marx.Key-words: Heidegger, Marx, technology, metaphysics, capitalism

Tourism Destinations

Historical areas are one of the alternative tourism destinations in Semarang City. The most attractive and popular spot is the Semarang Old City, which is presently being prepared to become a World Heritage based on the beauty, authenticity and environmental attraction of the colonial buildings as well as the fascinating history of the area. However, most millennials prefer more recreational activities such as taking pictures, riding bicycles, sightseeing and enjoying the culinary surroundings without showing any interest in the history of the Old City. The potential importance of these millennials to the tourism market of this area requires the accommodation of their ever-changing needs. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to study young people’s perspectives and preferences towards historical tourist destinations such as the Old City. This involved the application of the qualitative method to examine the characteristics, preferences and motivations of millennials travelling in historic tourism areas through observation and interview millennials. The findings of this study were expected to be used in setting up some strategies to overcome the inherent problems of historic site tourism and also to satisfy the needs of the tourists, especially the millennials.

This article explores what has been termed a recent "shift in perspective" in the Catholic Church which rethinks the relationship between theology and its concrete socio-cultural context. I begin with a brief history of the term inculturation and its related concepts, particulary syncretism. An examination of the key metaphors which have been used to describe inculturation filters out the changing assumptions about Christianity and culture and the relationship between them. Some of the interrelated issues which arise in the concept of inculturation are the emergence of local Christian identity predicated on a (re)definition of tradition; discernment and evaluation of both culture and the gospel; the enactment of power structures through the workings of inculturation; and a dual process of essentializing. I illustrate these issues with a case study of the Tekakwitha Conference, a Native Catholic organization which claims to be the voice, presence and identity of Native American Catholics, and whose explicit mandate is inculturation.
