Tradisi Lisan, Naskah, Dan Sejarah; Sebuah Catatan Politik Kebudayaan, I Nengah Duija Oct 2005

Tradisi Lisan, Naskah, Dan Sejarah; Sebuah Catatan Politik Kebudayaan, I Nengah Duija

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Tradition can be seen from two different perspectives, those of literacy (writing system) and of oral tradition. Recently, some intellectuals have shown interest in oral tradition as academic study in some universities. Oral tradition is not supposed to be seen merely as part of the past and a cultural entity of no importance. This paper describes the two traditions of oral literature and manuscript writing as a basis for local historical knowledge and records of cultural politics. The discussion will be more about the content of tradition that is related to the history of cultural politics than a historical observation.

Curses may result in a physical transformation or a change in the fate of the person cursed. A curse cast by a god demonstrates the power. A curse, however, eventually produces blessing. Curse and blessing are two things that are different from and opposite to one another.

Partikel Fatis Dalam Bahasa Mandarin; Sebuah Telaah Awal, Hermina Sutami

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Phatic particles are rarely discussed, especially in the scope of syntax, even though the notion of phatic communion had been proposed by Malinowski in 1923. In Indonesian language, Harimurti (1986) had pioneered the inclusion of phatic expression into the Indonesian parts of speech. In Mandarin language, there has not been any special interest to discuss it. Generally phatic particles overlap with interjections and interrogatives. However, this article discusses about some evidences about the differences among them.
