Linguistic Basis

This article takes its point of departure from late Lacan's meditations on the incompatibility of psychoanalysis with Japanese culture due to its non-European linguistic basis. The article argues that this emphasis on language narrowly conceived fails to keep pace with the interconnected, multi-media, all-encompassing nature of the unconscious today. Illustrating this point, the article focuses on the figure of the hikikomori: middle-class Japanese youths who have withdrawn from all conventional social contact to indulge exclusively computer-based interactions. Thanks to the overlap with the related figure of the ‘Bedroom DJ’, the analysis then moves on to the ambient music of Richard D. James, aka Aphex Twin. It argues for the validity of the concept of an ‘audio unconscious’ distinct from Lacan's unconscious ‘structured like a language’. The final part of the article, however, examines one of James's music videos and discerns in it modes of jouissance that psychoanalysis can still describe.

In the conclusion to The Musical Gift, Jim Sykes discusses Sri Lankan versions of viral music videos over the past decade, particularly Pharrell Williams’ video “Happy.” Sykes notes that several people filming themselves dancing to Williams’ song were stopped by the police, who could not comprehend why people were singing and dancing in public outside of the bounds of an official concert. The Sri Lankan “Happy” videos have also been criticized as depicting upper- and middle-class Sri Lankans and thus obscuring the fact that happiness has not been achieved for many Sri Lankans, including those who suffered greatly from the war. Returning to the concept of “the musical gift,” Sykes argues the promotion of public song and dance from and between various communities has a role to play in forging post-war reconciliation and building a “happiness” that emerges from Sri Lankan aesthetics.

Peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor yaitu ruangan yang nyaman, sdm yang mumpuni, pelibatan media didalam pembelajaran serta adanya kemauan dari siswa-siswa untuk berkembang, yang menjadi sorotan tim PKM adalah SDM dalam hal ini adalah guru. Guru adalah salah satu objek yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dari proses pengajaran yaitu yang menyampaikan materi secara langsung, namun beberapa kendala yang muncul adalah sebagian besar guru masih mengedepankan prinsip konvensioanl yaitu pembelajaran yang hanya melibatkan media papan tulis dan buku ajar dalam proses pembelajaran hal ini berdampak terhadap kejenuhan dan kebosanan yang berkepanjangan oleh karena itu TIM melakukan pendampingan kepada Guru-guru tentang tata kelola media pembelajaran berbasis multimedia. Media Pembelajaan yang akan dikembangkan dengan menggunakan beberapa aplikasi dan akan digabungkan menjadi satu paket aplikasi yaitu aplikasi adobe flash CS. Adobe Flash CS dengan versinya adalah salah satu bagian dari produksi animasi yang sangat populer dan paling banyak digunakan saat ini. Program ini memungkinkan penggunanya untuk membuat berbagai aplikasi animasi mulai dari animasi gambar (kartun), animasi interaktif, permainan, company profile, presentasi, video clip, animasi web, dan aplikasi animasi lainnya sesuai kebutuhan pengguna. Selain menyajikan tampilan gambar dan berbagai macam animasi yang menarik, Adobe Flash CS juga dapat memanjakan siswa dengan kelebihan efek suara yang dapat membantu guru dalam menjelaskan materi pelajaran, juga games dan soal-soal untuk menguji pemahaman siswa. Sebagai acuan isi dari media pembelajaran yang akan dikembangkan berfokus terhadap model pembelajaran berbasis CBI (Computer Based Intruction). Kata Kunci: Media Pembelajaran, multimedia, CBI.

Over Time

Social capital has been declining in America for the better part of a century, as citizens now find themselves connected to fewer people and resources. But computer-based modes of social contact have at the same time opened up new frontiers for expanding and developing personal relationships online. A two-wave U.S. web survey was used to examine the importance of computer-mediated communication (CMC) competence for social-resource development, measured in terms of occupational prestige. CMC competence related to acquiring more total resources over time. It also contributed to accessing a wider range of resources and having more valuable connections on average. When CMC competence was broken down into subscale measures, computer-based motivation contributed to total resources and range in resources, while computer-based attentiveness related to developing better resources. Findings speak to the value of CMC competence for social capital and the waning influence of interpersonal competence in general.

Father And Son

The Oedipus complex of Freud is based on the inevitability of the tragic fate of a man who fled his home to escape the prophecy of parricide. Thus, he fulfilled it by killing a stranger who proved to be his father. As Freud does, this consideration of the tragedy of Oedipus takes as its point of departure the inevitability of the confrontation between father and son. Where Freud looks to the son, however, I look to the father, who set the tragedy in motion by attempting to murder his infant son. Themes ignored in developmental theory but axiomatic in gerontology are considered in this study of the elder Oedipus. The study begins by noting that Oedipus ascended the throne of Thebes not by parricide but by answering the riddle of the Sphynx and affirming the continuity of the life cycle which his father denied. In the second tragedy of the Oedipus Cycle of Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus, this affirmation is maintained. As Oedipus the elder accepts the infirmities of old age and the support of his daughter Antigone, Oedipus the king proves powerful up to the very end of his life when he gives his blessing not to the sons who had exiled him from Thebes, but to King Theseus who shelters him in his old age. Thus, the Oedipus cycle, in contrast to the “Oedipus complex,” represents not the unconscious passions of the small boy, but rather the awareness of the life cycle in the larger context of the succession of the generations and their mutual interdependence. These themes are illuminated by a fuller consideration of the tragedy of Oedipus.
