UNDERSTANDING BOURDIEU’S DISTINCTION: SOCIAL AND LITERARY CONTESTATION TO GAIN LEGITIMATE POSITION

This writing reveals the subtle domination in the area of literature and social practice which is illustrated through the practice of coffee consumption and also the claims of legitimate authors. Bourdieu examines this sociological space as a field of contestation, so he constructs his sociological project by mapping the type of social power in arena in which every subject wagers his capital to achieve a legitimate position. In the arena, each subject desires to get power either by way of embracing the rule that applies, doxa, or to fight with the practice of the new, heterodox. Following the existing rules are not able to change anything because it dictates the subject to be a disciplined subject. Bourdieu proposes the emerging heterodox because doing resistance to all forms of domination can give birth to the new alternative social structure and preventing the old one to remain in power. Social change is expected because Bourdieu's symbolic power as in symbolic capital tends to provoke symbolic violence. Having symbolic capital enchanting for its power to subtly dominate people with less capital. Oppression becomes natural due to everyday practice normalizing the oppression. shapes the taste of a certain class as class distinction. Bourdieu’s concept of distinction investigates a more sophisticated strategy in the social arena where every agent plays subtle intimidation and indeed domination.

NARRATIVE STRATEGIES AGAINST UNITY & CONTINUITY: THE CASE OF FOCALISATION IN VEDIC & MODERN DAY DHRUPAD VOCAL MUSIC STORIES

Narratives that we hear, connect dots to complete a civilisational story. Narrative strategies on Indian heritage of about 1000 years need to be revisited as newer counter narratives need to be factored in. If we examine our case of Sa?m Veda (ancient Veda singing date not known) and Dhrupad (probably from around 300 BC and still extant) through a natively ordered narrative framework. However, newer globalised narratives are ordered in such a manner that the story sounds strange to natives. The paper points out that this might often not be a clash of historical method and tradition, but focalisation or mere agenda. Also we often see narrators may not represent knowledge, being mistaken for the source of knowledge. For instance, a person trained in the Khaya?l singing tradition telling the story of Dhrupad or even Sa?ma Ga?na. This may involve focalisation.

NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING TEACHERS (NESTs) AND INDONESIAN ENGLISH TEACHERS (IETs) EFL STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION AND PREFERENCES

This paper explores the roles of Non-Native English Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesia. As many English language learners idolize Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) to be a good teacher of English that leads students to the success with their learning, some research show that the success in language teaching and learning is not merely determined by the fluency which native speakers possess. There are a number of factors that should be taken into account to make language teaching and learning successful such as the nature of learners, social context, and cultural background of the learners. These features are, for the most part, owned by NNESTs and thus they potentially make more successful English language teaching and learning than NESTs.
