The Author considers a trend, which comes from the west, to use post-industrial developments for museums. The article includes issues concerning adaptation of post-industrial developments for museum functions, references to history and identity of the building concerned, as well as relations of an institution — which is hosted within the historical construction — with the surroundings. The museums which have been selected for the analysis are representative for a boom observed in Poland since the beginning of the 21st century — the majority of newly-established museums are located in adapted old buildings, the museums representing almost exclusively only two categories: historical museums and contemporary art museums. The Author seeks an answer to a question whether museums must follow current trends. She concludes that a quest for success translating to a good image and high attendance is and certainly shall remain an important goal of a museum. She warns, however, of dangers related with a museum trying to be a “trendy” place to attend, especially in the times of public life commercialization, which is more and more common.

Keberadaan Sangtakasta memiliki daya tarik tersendiri untuk dijadikan sebagai objek penelitian. Kesenian-kesenian tradisional dihadapkan dengan modernitas kemajuan zaman di era globalisasi yang serba canggih ini. Perubahan kebudayaan suatu daerah sedikit banyak dipengaruhi oleh perubahan-perubahan masyarakatnya. Kesenian-kesenian tradisional dengan konsep-konsep lama semakin sulit mencari peminat, setelah para generasi mudanya kurang tertarik karena tidak adanya suatu pembaharuan. Anak-anak muda lebih cenderung menyukai bentuk kesenian yang kekinian atau masa kini. Munculnya grup-grup kesenian di Kabupaten Tulungagung dengan kreativitasnya masing-masing, sedikit banyak memberi angin segar terhadap pelestarian kearifan lokal daerah. Kesenian tradisional seperti Reyog Kendhang tak luput dari objek ajang berkreativitas dalam berkesenian. Sangtakasta sebagai sanggar seni yang berada di Desa Tugu Kabupaten Tulungagung ini, saat ini sangat berperan penting dalam hal memfasilitasi minat dan bakat anak-anak muda yang ingin terjun langsung dalam berkesenian. Konsep garapan baik tarian atau musikal, semuanya disesuaikan dengan perkembangan zaman atau tren masa kini tanpa meninggalkan dasar-dasar dari kesenian itu sendiri. Kesenian tanpa adanya sebuah pembaharuan mustahil akan tetap eksis melintasi generasi ke generasi, sebab sebuah kesenian akan selalu berkembang sesuai dengan perubahan zaman. Reyog Kendhang sebagai kesenian ikon dari Kabupaten Tulungagung saat ini juga tidak luput dari sebuah pembaharuan, karena kearifan lokal akan hilang tanpa adanya masyarakat pendukung. Pendekatan etnomusikologi,sosiologi dan antropologi digunakan sebagai sarana untuk memperoleh informasi yang lebih efisien dengan metode deskriptif analisis. Hasil daripada penelitian ini bahwasanya sebuah kesenian akan terus berkembang sesuai dengan perubahan zaman, mengikuti alur perkembangan zaman sah-sah saja asalkan tidak meninggalkan dasar dari kesenian itu sendiri. Musik Reyog Kendhang Sangtakasta saat ini mampu menyesuaikan zaman sesuai dengan minat masyarakat pendukungnya.Sangtakasta's existence has its own attraction to be used as the object of research.

This paper presents the case of psychology from a perspective not widely recognized by the West, namely, the Egyptian, Arab, and Islamic perspective. It discusses the introduction and development of psychology in this part of the world. Whenever such efforts are evaluated, six problems become apparent: (1) the one-way interaction with Western psychology; (2) the intellectual dependency; (3) the remote relationship with national heritage; (4) its irrelevance to cultural and social realities; (5) the inhibition of creativity; and (6) the loss of professional identity. Nevertheless, some major achievements are emphasized, and a four-facet look into the 21st century is proposed.

Abstract A city’s public spaces ought to meet a number of requirements to serve their main purpose, that is to foster public life. They need, for instance, to answer people’s needs, fulfil certain social functions, and let people use their basic rights, among them the most important right of access. In Katowice, one of the most prominent examples of the regeneration of public spaces is now the Culture Zone. The aim of this paper is to discuss the development of social functions in the area mentioned, a fine example of the post-industrial heritage of Upper Silesia. Applying some of the qualities of public space identified in the theories adopted, the paper discusses how the Culture Zone [in Polish: Strefa Kultury] fulfils the above-mentioned demands and requirements. Is it accessible? Does it meet the need for comfort? Does it function as a leisure space? By referring to analyses and opinions presented in the literature and comparing them with the results of the author’s own empirical research, this article discusses the importance, opportunities, and shortcomings of the Culture Zone as a public space.

Energy forms and their extensive scale are remarkably significant for the ways that societies are organized. This article shows the importance of how societies are ‘energized’ and especially the global growth of ‘fossil fuel societies’. Much social thought remains oblivious to the energy revolution realized over the past two to three centuries which set the ‘West’ onto a distinct trajectory. Energy is troubling for social thought because different energy systems with their ‘lock-ins’ are not subject to simple human intervention and control. Analyses are provided here of different fossil fuel societies, of coal and oil, with the latter enabling the liquid, mobilized 20th century. Consideration is paid to the possibilities of reducing fossil fuel dependence but it is shown how unlikely such a ‘powering down’ will be. The author demonstrates how energy is a massive problem for social theory and for 21st-century societies. Developing post-carbon theory and especially practice is far away but is especially urgent.

As a place for learning activities, educational institutions must adapt to the times to not be viewed as a threat in the current era of education 4.0. Along with 21st-century learning needs to foster students' creative, innovative and competitive attitudes by implementing technology as an auxiliary medium in the learning process to produce quality students. This research is a descriptive case study to explore the application of the cybergogy concept about facing the challenges of learning in the 21st-century, especially in lecturing German in the courses offered by students. The sample in this study were students in semesters II, IV, and VI of the German Language Education Study Program, with 35 students. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires, interviews, and document review. Data from questionnaires, discussions and document reviews were analyzed using descriptive statistics referring to the Milles and Huberman stages. The results showed that the concept of cybergogy had been applying 30% synchronously and 70% asynchronously. On average, 93-94% of students and lecturers have used technology-based media in the German language learning process because of the availability of teaching materials and supporting facilities for information and communication technology to face 21st-century learning.

The article considers the model of development of modern megacities and substantiates the need for the formation of a polycentric structure of the spatial development of agglomerations. The current trends in the placement of educational, research, innovation, business and shopping and entertainment functions for the development of the agglomeration territory are analyzed, the structure of the risks of implementing a polycentric model of the development of the St. Petersburg agglomeration and the directions of their leveling and overcoming are proposed. As the most important driver for the polycentric development of the St. Petersburg agglomeration, the author highlights the creation of places of employment, both in the production and post-industrial spheres – the service economy and the knowledge economy, the IT sector.

In the context of current trends in contemporary art on migration, this article undertakes a close analysis of George Drivas’ installation Laboratory of Dilemmas (2017). It delineates the response this work offers to dominant discourses of the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ and explores how contemporary art can intervene critically in these discourses. In Laboratory of Dilemmas, Drivas articulates an audio-visual narrative in which the dilemma of accepting or rejecting the ‘foreign(er)’ is played out in two distinct registers: that of a biology experiment allegedly conducted in the 1960s and that of a millennia-old literary text, Aeschylus’ Suppliant Women. The analysis of the installation will answer the following questions: How do the themes of governmentality, biopolitics and hospitality come into play? In what ways does the artwork undermine the established ‘foreign’/‘native’ dichotomy and how does it foster a space of potentiality between incoming and local populations? Looking at the exemplary biopolitical setting of the artwork and taking stock of existing interpretations, I propose an alternative reading that sees the work overturning the governmentality paradigm in favour of a profoundly inclusive and relational perspective.

This essay has been written to serve as a prolegomenon for a new journal in Global History. It opens with a brief depiction of the two major approaches to the field (through connexions and comparisons) and moves on to survey first European and then other historiographical traditions in writing ‘centric’ histories up to the times of the Imperial Meridian 1783–1825, when Europe’s geopolitical power over all other parts of the world became hegemonic. Thereafter, and for the past two centuries, all historiographical traditions converged either to celebrate or react to the rise of the ‘West’. The case for the restoration of Global History rests upon its potential to construct negotiable meta-narratives, based upon serious scholarship that will become cosmopolitan in outlook and meet the needs of our globalizing world.
