Laporan penyutradaraan naskah lakon Sinamot karya Mahbub Kurtubi merupakan pembahasan suatu proses perancangan artistik dalam pertunjukan teater. Laporan ini menjelaskan proses pementasan pertunjukan teater dengan judul naskah Sinamot, mulai dari alasan memilih permasalahan tentang sinamot (emas kawin) hingga sampai tahap terakhir menuju pementasan. Naskah lakon Sinamot menceritakan tentang perjuangan seorang perempuan bernama Lasma dalam mempertahankan haknya untuk bisa memilih menikah dengan laki – laki pilihannya. Lasma memiliki kekasih yang berprofesi sebagai seniman bernama Ringgas. Ringgas yang berprofesi sebagai seniman merasa kurang percaya diri untuk memberanikan diri melamar Lasma. Penghasilan Ringgas sebagai seniman tidak cukup banyak untuk membayar sinamot (emas kawin) kepada keluarga Lasma. Permasalahan bertambah ketika paman (bapauda) Lasma bernama Godam menjodohkannya dengan laki – laki lain yang lebih mapan. Pergejolakan batin yang dialami Lasma akhirnya memutuskan dia untuk menerima perjodohan tersebut. Tiba saatnya di hari pernikahan, Lasma memutuskan untuk membatalkan pernikahannya. Lasma meninggakan calon suaminya dan pergi dari gereja. Pada akhinya Lasma lebih memilih untuk tidak menikah dari pada harus hidup dengan laki – laki lain dalam keadaan terpaksa. Naskah lakon Sinamot penuh dengan kritik sosial mengenai permasalahan sinamot (emas kawin) pada masa pra pernikahan masyarakat Batak Toba. Batalnya pernikahan sepasang kekasih karena tidak menemukan kata sepakat dalam pembahasan sinamot (emas kawin) sudah sering terjadi. Oleh karena itu pertunjukan ini bertujuan untuk menyadarkan masyarakat agar mampu melihat kondisi sosial yang terjadi di sekitarnya. Untuk mewujudkannya, sutradara menggunakan teknik alienasi Bertold Brecht pada pertunjukan naskah lakon Sinamot. Teknik alienasi Brecht dianggap mampu mewujudkan keinginan sutradara dalam memberikan ruang kepada penonton untuk berpikir kritis pada pertunjukan naskah lakon Sinamot.The report on the direction of the Sinamot by Mahbub Kurtubi is a discussion of an artistic design process in theater performances. This report describes the process of staging a theater performance with the title Sinamot script, starting from the reasons for choosing the issue of sinamot (emas kawin) to the final stage towards the performance. The Sinamot script tells about the struggle of a woman named Lasma in defending her right to be able to choose to marry a man of her choice. Lasma has a lover who works as an artist named Ringgas. Ringgas, who works as an artist, doesn't feel confident enough to dare to apply for Lasma. Ringgas’s salary as an artist is not enough to pay for sinamot (emas kawin) to Lasma's family. The problem grew when Lasma's uncle (bapauda) named Godam arranged a marriage between him and another, more stable man. The inner turmoil that was experienced by Lasma finally decided him to accept the match. It was time for the wedding day, Lasma decided to cancel the wedding. Lasma left her future husband and left the church. In the end, Lasma prefers not to marry rather than live with other men under coercion. The Sinamot script is full of social criticism regarding the issue of sinamot (emas kawin) during the pre-wedding period of the Batak Toba community. The cancellation of the marriage of two lovers because they did not find an agreement in the discussion of sinamot (emas kawin) has often happened. Therefore, this show aims to make people aware of the social conditions that occur around them. To make it happen, the director used Bertold Brecht's alienation technique in the Sinamot script. Brecht's alienation technique is considered capable of realizing the director's desire to provide space for the audience to think critically at the Sinamot script..

The article examines social conditions and mechanisms of the emergence in 1982 of a «Dutch» strawberry auction in Fontaines-en-Sologne, France. Empirical study of this case shows that perfect market does not arise per se due to an «invisible hand». It is a social construction, which could only be put into effect by a hard struggle between stakeholders and large investments of different forms of capital. Ordinary practices of the market dont differ from the predictions of economic theory, which is explained by the fact that economic theory served as a frame of reference for the designers of the auction. Technological and spatial organization as well as principal rules of trade was elaborated in line with economic views of perfect market resulting in the correspondence between theory and reality.

Steven Klein’s excellent new book The Work of Politics is an innovative, insightful and original argument about the valuable role that welfare institutions may play in democratic movements for change. In place of a one-sided Weberian view of welfare institutions as bureaucratic instruments of social control, Klein recasts them in Arendtian terms as ‘worldly mediators’ or participatory mechanisms that act as channels for a radical politics of democratic world making. Although Klein is careful to modulate this utopian vision through a developed account of power and domination, I question the relevance of this largely historical model of world-building activism for the contemporary world of welfare. I point to the way that decades of neoliberal social policy have arguably eroded many of the social conditions and relations of solidarity that are vital prerequisites for collective activism around welfare.

This paper offers new insights into the promotion of the Exercise is Medicine (EIM) framework for mental illness and chronic disease. Utilising the Syndemics Framework, which posits mental health conditions as corollaries of social conditions, we argue that medicalized exercise promotion paradigms both ignore the social conditions that can contribute to mental illness and can contribute to mental illness via discrimination and worsening self-concept based on disability. We first address the ways in which the current EIM framework may be too narrow in scope in considering the impact of social factors as determinants of health. We then consider how this narrow scope in combination with the emphasis on independence and individual prescriptions may serve to reinforce stigma and shame associated with both chronic disease and mental illness. We draw on examples from two distinct research projects, one on exercise interventions for depression and one on exercise interventions for multiple sclerosis (MS), in order to consider ways to improve the approach to exercise promotion for these and other, related populations.

The article examines a 30-year experience of collective ethnography in the sugarcane plantations of Brazil's Northeast. Over this period, the research group has worked in different temporal and spatial contexts, continually exchanging its findings. The author draws on her experience as part of the research group in order to focus on the conditions of entering the field, the seasonal variations and geographic displacements, the research group's morphology and the overall implications for anthropological knowledge. Debates over ethnography have neglected the relationship between the social conditions in which anthropologists carry out their work and what they are able to write about the social world. This article sets out to fill this gap.

Over recent decades, computer simulations have become a common tool among practitioners of the social sciences. They have been utilized to study such diverse phenomena as the integration and segregation of different racial groups, the emergence and evolution of friendship networks, the spread of gossip, fluctuations of housing prices in an area, the transmission of social norms, and many more. Philosophers of science and others interested in the methodological status of these studies have identified a number of distinctive virtues of the use of computer simulations. For instance, it has been generally appreciated that as simulations require the formulation of an explicit algorithm, they foster precision and clarity about whatever conceptual issues are involved in the study. The value of computer simulations as a heuristic tool for developing hypotheses, models, and theories has also been recognized, as has been the fact that they can serve as a substitute for real experiments. This is especially useful in the social domain, given that human beings cannot be freely manipulated at the discretion of the experimenter (for both points, see Hartmann 1996). However, the main virtue of computer simulations is generally believed to be that they are able to deal with the complexities that arise when many elements interact in a highly dynamic system and which often evade an exact formal analysis (see, e.g., Humphreys 1991).

WHEN perestroika legitimized the social criticism for which the Russian theatre had been the only forum during the ‘years of stagnation’, playwrights such as Gelman, Galin and Petrushevskaya came to prominence. The breaking of the wave of so-called ‘black’ plays, however, also coincided with the beginning of the disintegration of the society which they scourged.
