From modern perspective, pesantren are often regarded as the basis of resistance to modernization that is often associated with the West. This resistance comes from the strong roots of the pesantren as a subculture. This study attempts to elaborate on how the pesantren's view of the West as a part of occidentalism. Using literary sources and content analysis methods, this study has resulted several conclusions. First, in the pre-independence era where the West was represented by the Dutch, The West had a bad image among the pesantrens. The Dutch was viewed as invaders who exploit people and stab them from behind. In addition, with public schools filled with aristocrats, the Netherlands became a competitor to civil education which was rooted in community based pesantren education. On the other hand, from the standpoint of religion, pesantren viewed the West as infidels

A cursory look at different examples of activist and community-based performances in Singapore, Colombia, and more detailed analyses of two recent participatory theatre productions in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands reveal that models that distinguish community art from avantgarde art in the East and the West resist categorization.

Media researchers have often examined how film and television can have an impact on audiences. Media have various effects on audience members. When it comes to representing ‘the other’, the media often rely on stereotypes. Research has shown that ethnic Arabs are under-represented in US film and television, and their depictions are distorted with stereotypical portrayals. The current study joins the discussion on ‘media representation’ (in this case, informed by the construct of Occidentalism) by conducting a qualitative, thematic, content analysis (informed by narrative analysis, both socio-linguistic and socio-cultural) of the Jordanian television show My American Neighbor. Stereotypes can be both positive and negative, and they are often used by media storytellers regardless of their background or location in the World.

Chapter 2 concentrates on representations of Demeter and Persephone in the Syracusan odes. The goddesses are important for two reasons. First, the Deinomenids were ancestral priests of Demeter and Persephone in Sicily and the goddesses therefore could easily be linked to the rule of this family of tyrants. On the other hand, worship of the two goddesses was widespread throughout Sicily. This chapter argues that references to Demeter and Persephone in epinician poetry for Hieron and members of his circle promote and celebrate Syracusan and Deinomenid expansion throughout the island of Sicily by aligning pan-Sicilian and Deinomenid interests and rooting them in the island’s landscape. The first section surveys the material remains for the goddesses in Sicily before exploring discussions of the goddesses in mythological, historical, and literary sources. An analysis of Pindar’s Nemean 1 then proposes that, while the link between Arethusa and Alpheos represents the close tie between Syracuse and the Panhellenic sanctuary at Olympia, Pindar’s references to Demeter and Persephone in epinician poetry define the relationship between Syracuse and the rest of Sicily under the rule of the Deinomenid tyrants. A final section argues that in contrast to the goddesses who celebrate uniquely Syracusan and Deinomenid interests, the hero Herakles articulates a role for Syracuse and the West more generally in the maintenance of the order of the Olympians.

AbstractA solitary unprocessed, 26-cm basalt stone recently found at the Roman (69 AD) site at Kotterbos (Lelystad, the Netherlands), situated 40 km north of the Limes, has been examined petrographically and geochemically. The rock is similar to previously investigated Roman basalt stones and blocks from the Limes in the province of Utrecht. All are alkali olivine basalts and basanites, which are also the dominant rock types in the nearby volcanic hinterland in Germany. On the basis of 23 criteria, including all major and minor elements plus a selection of trace elements, the Kotterbos stone correlates with a distinctive subgroup of Limes basalts. This subgroup is characterised by relatively high Mg# and low TiO2 wt% values, as opposed to the other subgroup with lower Mg# and higher TiO2 wt% values. It is argued that the high Mg#–low TiO2 subgroup and the Kotterbos basalt have common geological provenance(s). Five basalt bodies in the hinterland match the criteria of this subgroup, and might be considered as locations of provenance. Of these five, only Rolandsbogen, located next to an ideal anchorage on the west bank of the Rhine, about 12 km upstream from Bonn, can also conform to sensible Roman demands concerning effective logistics and military safety. Consequently, Rolandsbogen is the most likely site of provenance for the high Mg#–low TiO2 subgroup, which includes the Kotterbos basalt. It is argued that the Kotterbos stone is not a rock that somehow got separated from a shipment of building stones to the northern Limes; rather, it is speculated that the stone was picked up as a stray cobble near the basalt body and taken onboard a Roman vessel moored at the Rolandsbogen anchorage.

The article presents an exploratory study of regional media content in Lithuania, carried out using computational content analysis methods. The aim of the study is to reveal the effects of media capture on media content. More specifically, it analyses if and how local government’s control over regional mass media leads to media bias. In addition, the research aims to test the methods of automatic content analysis for the texts in Lithuanian language. The article focuses on two local newspapers known for close relationships with local governments – Druskininkai newspaper “Mano Druskininkai” and Širvintos newspaper “Širvintų kraštas”. For comparative purposes, the local newspapers of four additional municipalities (Utena, Šilutė, Birštonas and Biržai) are added to the analysis. The data revealed two different mechanisms for consolidating political power through the politically controlled media: in one newspaper, the dominant technique is the promotion of the mayor as a person, while in the other it is the attack of political opponents.

Power relations are related to the power of individuals, groups, or institutions over individuals, groups, or other institutions. One party in this case tries to dominate the other party. The asymmetrical relationship is illustrated by the conflict between the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and Indonesian Police (Polri) volume II. This was described in the editorial of Suara Merdeka daily newspaper. This paper discusses how the relations involved in the KPK versus Polri conflict volume II were discussed in the editorial of Suara Merdeka. To examine this relationship, qualitative content analysis methods are used. Qualitative content analysis is a method used to understand the message of a discourse. The relation in the KPK versus Polri conflict discourse volume II is described by Suara Merdeka editors by utilizing linguistic aspects in the form of vocabulary and grammar. Utilization of the vocabulary is in the form of the use of euphemisms and prominent formal words. Meanwhile, the use of grammar is in the form of interrogative sentence and per-sonal pronouns we/us. In describing this relation, the editor put the Polri institution in a dominant position, while the KPK institution was marginalized by the President and Polri institutions.Relasi kekuasaan berkaitan dengan kekuasaan individu, kelompok, atau institusi terhadap indivi-du, kelompok, atau institusi lainnya. Salah satu pihak dalam hal ini berusaha mendominasi pihak yang lain. Relasi yang asimetris tersebut tergambar dalam konflik KPK vs Polri jilid II. Hal terse-but dideskripsi dalam wacana “Tajuk Rencana” harian Suara Merdeka. Makalah ini membahas ba-gaimana relasi-relasi yang terjalin dalam konflik KPK vs Polri jilid II yang dibahas dalam “Tajuk Rencana” harian Suara Merdeka. Untuk mengkaji relasi tersebut digunakan metode analisis isi ku-alitatif. Analisis isi kualitatif adalah suatu metode yang digunakan untuk memahami pesan dari suatu wacana.

Paradiplomacy as a policy and practice of foreign policy by local governments have been carried out by the Indonesian government. But the practice of paradiplomacy shows a gap between local governments, as there are local governments that are so intensive but, on the other hand, some are passive. This article explains the architecture of paradiplomacy in the constitutional dimension through tracking the message structure in a number of regulations with content analysis methods. The advance of content analysis in the constitutional dimension will be able to provide comprehensive analysis on the architecture of Indonesia's paradiplomacy and its implications for achieving national interests. This article finds that Indonesia's paradiplomacy architecture is still very administrative, procedural, and technical, which results in inability to accelerate paradiplomacy by local governments in Indonesia to progressively attain local and national interests.

This study investigates the representative patterns of MPs with immigrant backgrounds in the case of the Netherlands. Departing from existing literature on minority representatives, we claim that minority representatives can adopt suppressive, as well as supportive, framings when addressing constituencies with whom they share similar backgrounds. A content analysis was conducted on the parliamentary work of minority representatives to detect which frames those representatives adopt when they address cultural and/or religious rights and liberties. As for explanatory variables, we examined the role of the retreat from multicultural policies in the Netherlands on the one hand and individual and group related variables on the other. Our content analysis reveals no fundamental linear shift towards more suppressive framing during the 2002–2017 period. Minority MPs from progressive parties are more likely to use supportive frames than those MPs from conservative parties. Coming from a Turkish background – the most organized ethnic group with the highest social capital in the country – significantly adds to the likelihood of a supportive form of representation. Gender is another significant variable explaining where minority representatives stand, with male MPs being more inclined to use supportive frames on ethnic and/or religious rights and liberties than female MPs.
