Tulisan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh keinginan kuat untuk mempublikasikan masterpiece seorang mufasir kontroversial dari Suriah yang menawarkan pembacaan baru terhadap Al-Qur’an bernama Muhammad Syahrur. Dalam tafsirnya terhadap Al-Qur’an, Syahrur telah mengundang berbagai polemik dan respon-respon yang tidak jarang bernada negatif. Syahrur bukanlah satu-satunya mufasir modern-kontemporer anti maenstreem, terdapat juga mufasir lain seperti Muhammad Arkoun. Namun menarik untuk dicatat adalah metodologi tafsir Al-Qur’an Syahrur  gunakan untuk membaca isu-isu perempuan yang masih terus-menerus diperdebatan sampai hari ini yaitu isu poligami. Hasil tulisan ini adalah Pembacaan Syahrur terhadap Al-Qur’an sedikit banyak dipengaruhi oleh setting sosial di mana ia hidup. Terutama pergumulannya dengan dengan teman sekaligus guru bernama ‘’Ja’far Dakk al-Bab. Semenjak itu Syahrur mulai mendalami Al-Qur’an. Muhammad Syahrur memandang salah satu problem terbesar dalam penafsiran Al-Qur’an adalah problem aplikasi metodologi penafsiran. Konsep kunci pemikiaran Syahrur adalah teori tentang Hudud. Teori ini terutama dipakai untuk membaca persoalan-persoalan hukum yang terdapat dalam ajaran Islam khususnya isu poligami memiliki pemahaman yang unik dibandingkan dengan ulama-ulama terdahulu. This paper is motivated by a strong desire to publish a masterpiece of a controversial commentator from Syria who offers a new reading of the Qur'an named Muhammad Syahrur. In his commentary on the Qur'an, Syahrur has invited various polemics and responses that are often negative in tone. Shahrour is not the only modern-contemporary anti-maenstreem commentator, there are also other commentators such as Muham-mad Arkoun. However, it is interesting to note that the methodology of Al-Qur'an Syahrur exegesis uses to read women's issues which are still being debated to this day, namely the issue of polygamy. The result of this paper is that Syahrur recitation of the Al-Qur'an is more or less influenced by the social setting in which he lives. Especially his struggles with a friend and teacher named Ja'far Dakk al-Bab. Since then Syahrur began to study the Qur'an. Muhammad Syahrur sees that one of the biggest problems in the interpretation of the Qur'an is the problem of the application of the methodology of interpretation. The key concept of Syahrur ‘s thinking is the theory of Hudud. This theory is mainly used to read legal issues contained in Islamic teachings, especially the issue of polygamy, which has a unique understanding compared to previous scholars.

Orwell’s writings repeatedly extol the virtues of solidarity, or what he liked to call brotherhood. But brotherhood was often something of an ordeal for Orwell as much as it was a coveted value and practice. The issue may be partly a question of character, but it also had a conceptual element: a) the compatibility of solidarity with other values, b) its internal coherence, as it sometimes re-enlists the social divisions it seeks to transcend, c) its problematic scope given its seemingly partisan nature, and d) its practicality in a modern social setting. This chapter examines these four issues in detail, showing how they contribute to the particular heft of Orwell’s writing—its angular sympathies and superbly uneven tone.

Abstract The article examines how the aspects of the social world are enacted in a theater play. The data come from a videotaped performance of a professional theater, portraying a story about a workplace organization going through a personnel training program. The aim of the study is to show how the core theme of the play – the teaming up of the personnel – is constructed in the live performance through a range of interactional means. By focusing on four core episodes of the play, the study on the one hand points out to the multiple changes taking place both within and between the different episodes of the play. On the other hand, the episodes of collective action involving the semiotic resources of singing and dancing are shown to represent the ideals of teamwork in distinct ways. The study contributes to the understanding of socially and politically oriented theater as a distinct, pre-rehearsed social setting and the means and practices that it deploys when enacting the aspects of the contemporary societal issues.

This paper argues that Celtic Football Club has played a central organising role in establishing a common identity for Catholics of Irish descent in Scotland. Concentrating on evidence taken from discourse in the public media, it draws attention to reactions to this identity by other population groups. Such responses, which are frequently ferocious in the degree of rejection they express, highlight the effects of Celtic's role. It provides a public arena within which Irishness can be expressed; at the same time, it draws fire from hostile elements in the social setting. Tensions within the Irish community about their common identity may in part be responses to these reactions.

Courts can play an important role in addressing issues of inequality, discrimination and gender injustice for women. The feminisation of the judiciary – both in its thin meaning of women's entrance into the profession, as well as its thicker forms of realising gender justice – is a core part of the agenda for gender equality. This volume acknowledges both the diversity of meanings of the feminisation of the judiciary, as well as the complexity of the social and cultural realisation of gender equality. Containing original empirical studies, this book demonstrates the past and present challenges women face to entering the judiciary and progressing their career, as well as when and why they advocate for women's issues while on the bench. From stories of pioneering women to sector-wide institutional studies of the gender composition of the judiciary, this book reflects on the feminisation of the judiciary in the Asia-Pacific.
