Journal of Law and Health

This Note argues that legislation requiring improved mental health treatment for veterans of OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) is necessary to protect American service members from the dangers of mental illness.

Hegemoni Antonio Gramsci: Sejarah Dan Perkembangannya Dalam Ranah Antropologi, Iklilah Muzayyanah Dini Fariyah Jan 2011

Hegemoni Antonio Gramsci: Sejarah Dan Perkembangannya Dalam Ranah Antropologi, Iklilah Muzayyanah Dini Fariyah

Antropologi Indonesia

The author wants to position Gramsci's argument by outlining the opinions of the theory interpreters and explaining social and political context from the influences of Marxism and communism on Gramsci's thinking. The fundamental concept of Gramschi’s thinking according to the auhor has influenced how post-1970s anthropology conceptualizes ideology, consent and hegemony as key issues that make the concept of culture become more operational in discussing matters of power.

Ruh Tanpa Tubuh, Tubuh Tanpa Ruh: Keterangan Tentang Mati Di Antara Universalisme Filsafati Dan Partikularisme Antropologis, Muhammad Damm Jan 2011

Ruh Tanpa Tubuh, Tubuh Tanpa Ruh: Keterangan Tentang Mati Di Antara Universalisme Filsafati Dan Partikularisme Antropologis, Muhammad Damm

Antropologi Indonesia

Death can be understood merely as a transition from one life to the next or simply as an end of life. These two conceptions are established due to our lack in knowledge about what will happen to us after we die. In order to make any sense, both conceptions require an understanding of death (and also life) as individual matter, that the only death (and life) I experienced is always my own. Nevertheless, in the first conception death does not exterminate one’s self, while in the second conception death exterminate one’s self. However, nonexistence of any access to the first-person …

Otetnografi: Mempelajari Kasus Pribadi Peneliti, Semiarto Aji Purwanto

Antropologi Indonesia

Penelitian etnografi lekat dengan studi kasus. Seiring dengan perkembangannya, pandangan dan cara melakukan etnografi mengalami perubahan. Semula etnografi merupakan gambaran mengenai suku bangsa sebagai sebuah kasus studi yang dilakukan dengan membuat deskripsi yang detail dan obyektif. Belakangan ia menjadi deskripsi sebuah komuniti yang di dalamnya terekam pengalaman subyektif peneliti dalam melakukan pencarian data di lapangan. Ada kesadaran bahwa kasus yang ditampilkan dalam etnografi merupakan pilihan peneliti baik secara sengaja, tidak sengaja maupun kompromi dengan informan. Isu representasi dari sebuah etnografi menguat. Selain munculnya kesadaran mengenai representasi dan otoritas dalam melukiskan sebuah komuniti, diskusi mengenai etnografi masa kini juga diwarnai dengan …

Contestation, Negotiation And Culture In The Reconstruction Of Riau's Identity, Lugina Setyawati

Antropologi Indonesia

This paper explained the issue of inequality which appears in the process of democratization through the analysis of contestation, negotiation, and the reconstruction of Riau’s identity. Ideally, democratic principles respect equality; however, identity expresses inequality because it defines who is dominant and subordinate in a certain social group through ethnic category and gender identity. It separates the insiders and outsiders with different rights through cultural idioms. Moreover, the identity is not merely applied in the private domain, but also in the public sphere. This paper resulted from research conducted in Riau Province in a periode of decentralization process. The findings …
