The Performance Of Panggung Bangsawan In Riau Lingga; A Reconstruction Of A Theatrical Process, Sutamat Arybowo Apr 2010

The Performance Of Panggung Bangsawan In Riau Lingga; A Reconstruction Of A Theatrical Process, Sutamat Arybowo

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Panggung Bangsawan is a popular folk theatre in Riau Lingga. The ups and downs in its performance are atributed to changes in social, political, and cultural conditions. This article is a reconstruction of a near extinct Panggung Bangsawan group in the Teluk village in the islands of Riau Lingga. First, I have attempted to describe the staging process; second, to endeavour to understand the phenomenon of change which occurs when a folk tale is transformed from written work into a performance; and third, to expose the transformation of a script (text) divided into scenes into a performance. This is an …

Economic Restructuring And Education In The Nonmetropolitan United States, Don E. Albrecht, Carol Mulford Albrecht Apr 2010

Economic Restructuring And Education In The Nonmetropolitan United States, Don E. Albrecht, Carol Mulford Albrecht

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Nonmetropolitan communities in the United States have historically depended on natural resources industries and manufacturing for their employment and sustenance. In recent decades, the number of jobs in these goods-producing industries has steadily declined, and this trend is likely to continue. The loss of goods producing jobs has been offset by increased employment in the service sector. A prominent concern resulting from this economic structure transformation is the impending mismatch in the education and skills of nonmetro workers and the education and skills needed to obtain high quality employment in the service sector. The data presented in this manuscript show …


The Myth About The Origin Of The Karo House, Juara R. Ginting Apr 2010

The Myth About The Origin Of The Karo House, Juara R. Ginting

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The Karo people in North Sumatra (Indonesia) consider areas in the Karo regency and those in other regencies as part of Taneh Karo (the Karolands), despite the fact that these areas comprise different administrative territories. This paper focuses on how the idea of Taneh Karo is articulated in a special Karo myth. Scholarly research has discovered that the notion of Taneh Karo originated in pre-colonial times, but an analysis of a local myth which established the concept of Taneh Karo remains an interesting anthropological study. This study is significant as it endeavours to comprehend the traditional ways of life of …


Mamanda Theatre, The Play Of Banjar Culture, Ninuk Kleden-Probonegoro Apr 2010

Mamanda Theatre, The Play Of Banjar Culture, Ninuk Kleden-Probonegoro

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article reveals the dialectic relationship between Teater Mamanda and the living conditions of Banjarese community. When we watch Mamanda, we watch the life and culture of the Banjarese. Without any knowledge of Banjarese society and culture we cannot possibly understand the content of a Mamanda performance as a miniature version of Banjarese society and culture. Three areas where Mamanda is performed have been studied using Paul Ricoeur's textual theory. There are two kinds of texts, the Mamanda performance (considered as text, that is, social events fixated in the form of a performance), and the narration of the performance itself …

Memory Jugs: Change And Continuity In A Traditional American Art Form, Jennifer Priscilla Hornby Apr 2010

Memory Jugs: Change And Continuity In A Traditional American Art Form, Jennifer Priscilla Hornby

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Memory Jugs: Continuity and Change in a Traditional American Art Form, examines the evolution of the memory jug practice in the United States from the late eighteenth-century to present day. I argue that Congo African ritual objects known as minkisi are responsible for the origin of the memory jug. Ways of thinking about and using objects that can be observed in minkisi are used to strengthen the previously established analogy between memory jugs and African American grave decoration. The concept of memory is explored as it becomes increasingly influential to the memory jug practice in the twentieth-century. Four nineteenth- to …


National Ideology And The Making Of A Nation: Simion Barnutiu And The Romanian Revolution Of 1848-1849 In Transylvania, Cristian Daniel Ivanes Apr 2010

National Ideology And The Making Of A Nation: Simion Barnutiu And The Romanian Revolution Of 1848-1849 In Transylvania, Cristian Daniel Ivanes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation is a case study: the emergence of liberal nationalism in the mid–nineteenth century Transylvania, one of the poorest parts of the Habsburg monarchy. Even in a still agrarian society it was yet possible for the Romanians to articulate a national program and to fight for self–determination. Simion Brnuiu was the mastermind of the revolutionary program of the Transylvanian Romanians in 1848, the visionary who gave the movement its sense and strategy. The course of his life unfolded along an interesting and often tragic path. Simion Brnuiu graduated from the Uniate Theological Seminary in Blaj. It is fair to …

Food Security In Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case Study, Emmanuel Oritsejafor Apr 2010

Food Security In Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case Study, Emmanuel Oritsejafor

African Social Science Review

The purpose of this study is to explore the social and economic factors that led to the recent surge in food prices in Sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis suggests that the surge in food prices results from an increasing demand for food such as dairy products in developing regions. Another contributing factor is the demand for fuel-crops, such as wheat, maize, sugarcane and oilseeds for the production of bio-fuels, bio-electricity, and bio-heat. The analysis finds that these factors have contributed to the global food security with major social and economic implications for Sub-Saharan Africa where poor households survive on less than …


Administrative Decentralization: Should Districts And Regions Elect Their Own Leaders In Ghana?, Kwame Antwi-Boasiako Apr 2010

Administrative Decentralization: Should Districts And Regions Elect Their Own Leaders In Ghana?, Kwame Antwi-Boasiako

African Social Science Review

Decentralization, leadership accountability, and empowerment of local leaders in Ghana are the main focus of this analysis. The paper discusses the complexities of decentralization and leadership responsibilities to effect changes toward a better path to socioeconomic development. It examines the problem with the Ghana Constitution as it pertains to local government elections and advocates for a constitutional amendment to empower districts and regions to elect their own leaders so that local governments in each district can be efficient and accountable to the electorate.
