The school defines a system that is too complex to be reduced to functions and practices. Humanity saw the school as a ‘multi-dimensional structure’ in its development adventure; ıts necessity was generally considered to be ‘vital’. Until the last century, there was hardly any serious criticism that the school was unnecessary. Especially the differences such as the innovations of the new century, the monist perspective, the possibilities of the digital world gave the opportunity to discuss the role of the school and its current role was frequently brought up. Even though the evaluations made over the school with the works of thinkers such as Gatto and Illich have a fair share, it will be seen that these are criticisms developed on the basis of ‘negative examples’. In the digital age where the vehicle is rich and purpose is impoverished, the school must be reconstructed as a challenging metaphor. There is a need for a vision of a school that prioritizes the human with wisdom without blessing the machine. In this context, our study regards the school of the future as the most critical institutional phenomenon for human rejuvenation ‘despite all’. School as a natural system is considered to be the strongest structure to rebuild the future against actual and popular ‘negativities’.

The Future

Philosophy and Humanities, their place and role in the society and culture of the digital epoch are analyzed in the article. The position of philosophy in the modern educational system is considered. The typical setting of nowadays for the formation of a "one-dimensional person" - a narrow-profiled specialist - is criticized. The forecasts for the future of humanitarian education and philosophy of the leading theoreticians and experts of the digital era are cited. It’s concluded that the role of philosophy in the digital age is to create the new life-affirming meanings and preserve previous worldview standards that have confirmed their validity and effectiveness throughout history.

The Impact

The modern conception of the self is grounded in stability and identity. Under this perspective, anxiety and insecurity of the border are only characteristic of peripheral communities. However, anxiety and insecurity are much more fundamental to linguistic life; heterogeneity of linguistic practice and our constant movement across communities, positions, categories, and identities mean that uncertainty and indeterminacy are just as salient in the way we use language. This special issue builds upon this insight to explore the subjectivities of border crossing in contexts of language contact under globalization. By bringing together studies that explore cases of language and cultural contact across the Asia-Pacific region from the perspective of anxiety and insecurity, it aims to highlight the importance of considering subjectivity in our analysis of language in globalization, and considers the new insights we may gain through an emphasis on the subjective dimensions of contact situations. Together, the contributions to the special issue identify three key issues for further research on the sociolinguistics of globalization: (1) the role of language ideologies in mediating experiences of transnationalism, (2) consequences of globally circulated semiotic resources on local articulations of subjectivities, and (3) the impact of neoliberal projects of social transformation upon our sense of self.

Words And Images

Online self-expression has proliferated in the last decade or so to such an extent that more people now than ever before engage in some sort of autobiographical activity. Social networking sites are the main gateways for this expression and their framework and rules and restrictions influence the type of narrative told there. This essay examines this given framework, the role of memory and forgetting in this process and how the story is told in words and images. What is remembered and forgotten online and in turn our digital traces must influence our sense of identity. Constantly telling one’s story in words and pictures online opens up new autobiographical practices, some of which in one way or another hark back to earlier practices, such as the diary or the use of the family album in autobiography, others are strictly the result of the new technology. What influence this will have in the long term is difficult to envisage, as the future use of these traces seems to be out of our control. THis article was submittted on May 1st, 2014 and published on November 3rd, 2014.

Positive Peace

Youth as religious peacebuilding actors still receive less attention in academic studies and peace praxis. It often makes youth being depicted as victims or as perpetrators of violence in religious conflict. This study specifically seeks to explore the efforts of youth involvement and also to strengthen the capacity of the youth in making religious peacebuilding in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. By using the action research method, this research found that Bukittinggi is at negative peace, which is still at the level of mere absence of war and saving the seeds of mutual suspicion between interfaith believers. It is undoubtedly because of a lack of interaction and openness between the interfaith believers. As for the strengthening efforts are undertaken through interfaith youth forum, youth for peace workshop, and the initiation of the interfaith youth organization.  That various efforts give hope for the future of religious peace in Bukittinggi from negative peace to positive peace. It is because youth offer creative energy and active potential to transform violent conflict and foster active peace. Keywords:  Youth, Religious Peacebuilding, Negative Peace, Positive Peace, Bukittinggi.

AbstractThe IUPAC centenary in 2019 is fast approaching, and this will naturally lead people to look back at the significant achievements of the organisation and its dedicated volunteers over the past one hundred years. Equally important, however, will be the need to look forward to the roles for IUPAC in its second century. This special issue of Chemistry International (CI) could well feature in that assessment, as technology in the digital age, and particularly the data that technology produces, will clearly be an essential tool for the future of chemistry as a discipline.
