Chinese in Indonesia as one of the diverse ethnicity had a long story in Medan’s development. Even though Chinese has been in Indonesia for a long time, the history of Chinese culture is rarely known by the public. The need for a medium to support this is to preserve the culture and history of Chinese. The inadequate medium for documenting and preserving the cultural history threatens the culture gradually lost in the age so that it needs a museum to document Chinese culture. As one of the local and international tourist destination, it needed a cultural museum with an iconic architectural emphasis of metaphorical form. To achieve the research objectives, the glass box method was used as a research method. With the emphasis form on the museum, it could enriched tourism destination and adding insight of local or international citizen about Chinese culture in Medan.

Emotions are largely interpersonal and inextricably intertwined with communication; public performances evoke collective emotions. This article brings together considerations of poetic assemblies known as ‘mushāʿira’ in Pakistan with reflections on sermon congregations known as ‘waʿz mahfil’ in Bangladesh. The public performance spaces and protocols, decisive for building up collective emotions, exhibit many parallels between both genres. The cultural history of the mushāʿira shows how an elite cultural tradition has been popularised in service to the modern nation state. A close reading of the changing forms of reader address shows how the modern nazm genre has been deployed for exhorting the collective, much-expanded Urdu public sphere. Emphasising the sensory aspects of performance, the analysis of contemporary waʿz mahfils focuses on the employment of particular chanting techniques. These relate to both the transcultural Islamic soundsphere and Bengali narrative traditions, and are decisive for the synchronisation of listeners’ experience and a dramaticisation of the preachers’ narratives. Music-rhetorical analysis furthermore shows how the chanting can evoke heightened emotional experiences of utopian Islamic ideology. While the scrutinised performance traditions vary in their respective emphasis on poetry and narrative, they exhibit increasingly common patterns of collective reception. It seems that emotions evoked in public performances cut across ‘religious’, ‘political’, and ‘poetic’ realms—and thereby build on and build up interlinkages between religious, aesthetic and political collectives.

For a long time, ‘culture’ appears only to be an effect of the power of discourses and media in Friedrich Kittler’s works. But in his Berlin lecture series on the cultural history of cultural studies, he discusses the historical formations in which a discrete science of culture could emerge. His perspective not only highlights the historical foundations but also the blind spots of cultural studies.

For the last twenty years, studies of the history of musical analysis have undergone considerable revision. For a long time, analytical theories had monopolized the attention of historians (Ian Bent, for example). Then, the terms of analytic practice have become a new field of research (cf. Nicholas Cook’s contributions). By shifting interest to the conception and use of analytical discourse, musicologists have pursued an interest in intellectual tools and their dissemination. New players appeared: analysts themselves (and not only their ideas), and amateur and professional musicians made use of the increasing emphasis on analysis in the last two centuries. Finally, related research topics emerged: listening skills, genetic criticism, analysis of music performance—ideas all of are presented in this chapter and which are supported by an extensive bibliography. This chapter will present an overview of these recent changes: the development of musical analysis linked to several major changes in the cultural history (the literacy of musicians, the success of hermeneutics, art criticism or philology, the growing autonomy of art); how the analysis changed the way of composing musical works but also the profession of composer; the globalization of analysis beyond national traditions.

RESUMENSe dedican estas pá´ginas a unos pocos comentarios surgidos de la lectura del libro de Larry Shiner "La invención del arte. Una historia cultural" (Barcelona, Paidós, 2004). Además de apreciable por sus contenidos, esta obra destaca por sus implicaciones epistemológicas, no siempre explicitadas, y su capacidad para reunir procedimientos historioráficos y objetos intelectuales de diversas disciplinas afines a lo artístico. Bajo la exigencia de una "historia cultural" Shiner consigue que la teoría estética y la teoría artística, instituidas en la modernidad, se encuentren con otros factores, materiales, como el mercado, el origen del público o la aparición de las casas de subastas, habitualmente poco presentes en los índices de las historias del arte y de la estética de mayor divulgación.PALABRAS CLAVEESTÉTICA-ARTE-MODERNIDADABSTRACTThese pages deal with some reflections upon the book by Larry Shiner "The Invention of Art" (Barcelona, Paidós, 2004). In addition to its remarkable contents, this work is outstanding due to its epistemological presuppositions, not always explicitly mentioned, and its ability to join historiographic devices and intellectual subjects from various diciplines related to the artistic domain.. Under the scope of a "cultural history", Shiner succeeds in making that artistic theory and aesthetics theory, both of them institutionalised in modernity, encounter other material factors such as the market, the emergence of the public or the auction´s houses rarely mentioned in the usual table of contents of books about history of art and aesthetics.KEYWORDSAESTHETICS-ART-MODERNITY

Bearing witness to these anatomies ‘in the flesh’ is rooted in the cultural history of human anatomy and dissection: the meeting of artists and anatomists around the dissecting table; the public spectacle of ritualised dissections in Renaissance anatomical theatres; the study of anatomy in institutions; the contentious display of dead bodies in Gunther von Hagen’s Body Worlds, to name a few. Our bodies have commonly been understood by both medical and lay people as a biological machine of sorts and an image ‘embedded in popular culture and sustained in the anatomy lab’. First-hand experience of anatomical dissection has become a guarded professional ritual and a marker of special knowledge that depends on the violation of the taboo (access to the interior of the body and to death): ‘The anatomy theatre lies at the mysterious heart of medicine in the public fantasy and the professional imagination.’ Categorical, turbulent and romantic accounts of human dissection have circulated widely over the centuries, through prose, poetry and the arts, and it is precisely because of the body’s moral centrality that it can be used subversively by contemporary artists today.

 Abstract. Old plantation building which is considered as a cultural heritage building and archaeological resource, belongs to the public and ought to be preserved. These old buildings are vulnerable to constant vandalism and destruction. The introduction and socialization about the importance of these old buildings have been continuously done that will lead to protection efforts. This article aims to learn about the implementation of public archeology on the industrial plantation buildings of Dutch heritage in West Java. A desk research method is used by analysing on research reports, books, journal articles, and other similar literatures. The result of the discussion gives four introduction strategies as the first step of protection and conservation efforts: (1) museum and nature laboratory, (2) agro tourism and tourism destination, (3) publication and socialization of archeology researches. These introduction strategies have been implemented and provided benefits to the community, which subesequently lead to the protection and preservation efforts of the cultural heritage buildings.  Keywords: Plantation industry building, public archeology  Abstrak.

Today, media digitalization has become the foundation of media industry owners in presenting a variety of information and entertainment, including media television. With the establishment of various commercial television broadcasting institutions as well as the competition for the media competition which is quite tight. Seeing the development of television broadcasting media itself with heavy competition, Islamic television institutions, in particular, seem not ready to compete with other television institutions. Institutions that affect the unpreparedness of existing Islamic television broadcasting institutions are planning and strategy within Islamic television broadcasting organizations and institutions, both before they come to the process of running and maintaining broadcasting institutions for a long period of time. The research method used is library research with in-depth analysis to explore problems related to the theme. The results of this study indicate that there are several things that must be planned before deciding to determine an Islamic television broadcasting institution; a) planning human resources, b) planning institutions, c) planning a product or program. When an Islamic broadcasting institution plans well, the sustainability of the Islamic broadcasting institution can be managed and run for a long time. That way, the existence of Islamic television media is indirectly able to provide another option for the public in enjoying the broadcasts that are served.

This work studies the international press’s perception of the Way of St James in 111,968 articles published in 21 languages during the period 2009-2017. The study performed here on what has been identified as a place branding activity with the collaboration of the public and private sectors is based on three hypotheses: 1) the international press coverage of the Way of St James is seasonal, i.e. directly related to a rise in summer visitor numbers; 2) the Way is a relevant asset in the construction of the image of Spain as an international tourist destination as regards culture, religion, and art; and 3) the Xacobeo brand is recognised and well-placed in the reference press. As to the first assumption, it has been observed that an increase in international press coverage of the Way –generally positive – does indeed coincide with a rise in the number of pilgrims during the summer months, and when this coverage continues in the following months it boosts visitor numbers. The second assumption has also been confirmed. But as regards the Xacobeo brand its perception leaves a lot of be desired: it seems the great managerial challenge to boost tourism in the next years.

Filmhistorici beperkten zich lange tijd tot de studie van inhoudelijke en vormelijke aspecten enerzijds en van regisseurs anderzijds. In de jaren 1990 verbreedde de focus en sindsdien worden ook het publiek en de hele kijkervaring als relevante geschiedkundige thema’s erkend. Dat perceptie vanuit diverse invalshoeken kan worden geanalyseerd, blijkt uit enkele recente publicaties van Vlaamse auteurs. In De verlichte stad (2007), een bundel onder redactie van Daniël Biltereyst en Philippe Meers, staat de geschiedenis van de infrastructuur en (verzuilde) kaders achter het bioscooplandschap centraal. Dat het zinvol is om ook vanuit de programmatie de impact op de toeschouwers te bestuderen, blijkt overtuigend uit Roel Vande Winkel en Ine Van linthouts De Vlaschaard 1943 (2007): deze minutieuze reconstructie van de controversiële verfilming van Stijn Streuvels’ grote doorbraakroman, in volle oorlogstijd, gaat uitvoerig in op het verrassende onthaal dat deze Duitse productie te beurt viel. Filmen voor Vlaanderen (2008), van Biltereyst en Vande Winkel, herinnert eraan hoe speelfilms lange tijd werden vertoond als deel van een ruimer programma, dat ook actualiteit en zelfs propaganda omvatte. Clemens De Landtsheer, de eerste secretaris van het IJzerbedevaartcomité, wordt voor het voetlicht geplaatst als één van de belangrijkste promotoren van de funderingsmythe van de Vlaamse beweging. De zeven filosofische gesprekken die Johan Swinnen voor Reflecties (2009) voerde, maken tot slot duidelijk dat filmprojectie niet enkel historische vragen oproept.________Eyes focused on the white screen. Four recent studies about film experience in Flanders.For a long time, film historians limited their studies to the content and formal aspects of film on the one hand and film directors on the other hand. During the 1990’s, the area of interest was widened and since then the public and the total viewing experience have also been recognized as relevant historical themes. Some recent publications by Flemish authors demonstrate that perception may be analysed from various perspectives. The main topic of De verlichte stad (The illuminated city) (2007), an anthology edited by Daniël Biltereyst and Philippe Meers, is the history of the infrastructure and the pillarisation behind the cinema landscape. De Vlaschaard (flax grower)1943 (2007) by Roel Vande Winkel and Ine Van linthout demonstrate convincingly that it is meaningful to study the impact on the audience from the perspective of the programming as well. This precise reconstruction of the controversial adaptation of Stijn Streuvel’s main breakthrough novel for the screen, in the middle of wartime, looks in detail at the surprising welcome enjoyed by this German production. Filming for Flanders (2008), by Biltereyst and Vande Winkel, reminds us how for a long time feature films were shown as part of a larger programme that also included current events and even propaganda. Clemens De Landtsheer, the first secretary of the IJzer Pilgrimage Committee, is brought into the limelight as one of the most important promoters of the foundation myth of the Flemish movement.  Finally, the seven philosophical conversations, which Johan Swinnen engaged in for Reflecties (reflections) (2009), demonstrate that film projections do not only evoke historical questions.

Summary This article explores the public engagement work of the Cultural History of the National Health Service (NHS) project, conducted at the University of Warwick between 2016 and 2019 and aiming to explore the meanings attached to Britain’s NHS over its 70-year history. The article situates public engagement as a critical methodology for social historians of medicine, exploring how events deepened this project’s understandings of post-war welfare, childhood treatments and activist cultures. Through reflection on these themes, the article emphasises that public engagement can generate rich new forms of qualitative testimony, complementing archival documents; point us towards ‘hidden archives’; and challenge cultural visions of historical research as ‘condemning’ or ‘celebrating’ its subjects. Finally, the article provides critical reflection on the challenges of such work and argues that engagement around health makes visible the broader research challenges of emotional intensity, personal and professional boundaries, and the hierarchies ingrained in academic research.
