Kisah-Kisah Dan Kepercayaan Rakyat Di Seputar Kepurbakalaan, Agus Aris Munandar
Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya
Some archeological sites in Java, Bali, and Sumatra do not have historical data. This is because during the research, there has not been found any documents relating to the existence of the artifacts. The reconstruction of the relation between the sites and their history were made through analyzing the folk stories and local beliefs about the artifacts. Some of the artifacts are in the forms of temples, gates, water springs (source of holy water during the Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in Java), stairs, caves for meditation, and layers of stones, such as found in Candi Bima (the Bima temple), Goa Jaran (the …
Existentialism By Soren Aabye Kierke Gaard: Indiana In Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade As A Representation Of An “Authentic” Human Being, Chintia Asmiliasari
Existentialism By Soren Aabye Kierke Gaard: Indiana In Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade As A Representation Of An “Authentic” Human Being, Chintia Asmiliasari
Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya
Existentialism of Soren Aabye Kierkegaard is a study focusing on the individual existence as an authentic creature. Existentialism can only be achieved by an individual’s boldness and belief to commit responsibly to a decision he has made. The decision made by each individual should be based on his subjective truth and should not be influenced by the collective truth called the objective truth. The subjective truth will later lead each individual to his way finding an absolute truth, although despair and uncertainty haunt every decision he has made. A totality of believing in making decision and holding the commitment into …

What Do Students Need To Know? How About The Idea Of Progress ?, David Pickus
Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya
Studying Archeology needs an understanding of the idea of progress. The concept of progress was popular in the 1920s, and it was not for Archeology alone, but it became a new intellectual understanding of the world. “The idea of progress is one of the fundamental notions grappled by civilizations with a historical sense“. “Does this change in the use of metals equal development?,” reminds us to the Xuanyuan era where stone was used to make weapon, whereas jade in the time of Huangdi, and bronze in the time of Yu. This shows that Archeology is related to history and some …

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya
As the concepts of “West” and “East are not only recognized in area studies, they are also known in the study of culture. Both concepts represent a culture, of which they are not always in agreement, but are often opposition, one against another. Shalimar the Clown, a novel by Salman Rushdie presents “West” and “East” using India for its main background. The research analysizes Boonyi Kaul Noman, one of the main characters, who shook the dichotomi of West against East within the paradigms of Orientalism and Occidentalism. The discussion on the construction of East defines the relationship between the locality …

Analysis Of Audience Reception On Youtube Towar D Gender Construction In The Music Video If I Were A Boy By Beyonce Knowles, Ria Avriyanty
Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya
Youtube is one of the favorite sites to share videos. Moreover,it facilitates the users to give a free and direct comment toward the videos they watch. The research examines the music video entitled If I Were a Boy (2010) by Beyonce Knowles as well as the authentic responses from the viewers in Youtube. I argue that this music video creates a conventional gender construction which perpetuates the patriarchal norms in the society. As an attempt to give a new perspective on the similar kind of research, I do not stop at this point. Applying the concept of encoding-decoding by Stuart …

The Javanese wayang performance reflects some ethical values that express the attitudes and norms of the Javanese people. The wayang stories bring into focus some elements of the culture, such as customs, arts, way of life, mysticism, and religion. The characters of the wayang performance depict some ways of life and mind-sets of the Javanese of an understanding of the final destination of life, sangkan paraning dumadi, which is a longing to be united with God at the end of their life. Wayang performance is a high form of Javanese culture that needs to be preserved to sustain multiculturalism in …
Mendorong Pemahaman Kritis Tentang Dokumen-Dokumen Prinsipil Dan Narasi Kebijakan Luar Negeri Amerika Di Kawasan Asia Pasifik 2000-2010: Catatan Penelitian, Suzie Sudarman
Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya
This research note essentially highlights how an argumentation was developed to reveal the implicit tensions that had been part of the American foreign policy maneuvers in Asia-Pacific, and the locus that were expressed have caused controversy. The finding is an effort to formulate analysis of the American foreign policy through an understanding of the nature of paradoxal and tension in the general American foreign policy, specifically in Asia-Pacific. Moreover, the pressures from outside the Asia-Pacific region, have eventually impacted the configuration of the publik officers and the experienced politicians in the locale, who have resulted policies to support the establishment …

Interest Rate Policy In China: The Impact Of Suppressed Deposit Rates On Household Income From 2000-2007, Zhuliang James Zhang
Interest Rate Policy In China: The Impact Of Suppressed Deposit Rates On Household Income From 2000-2007, Zhuliang James Zhang
Undergraduate Economic Review
An often-overlooked impact of China’s policy of maintaining low interest has been the suppression of household interest income, which has increased the propensity of households to save while decreasing their consumption rates. This paper posits that from 2000 to 2007, deposit rates in China were suppressed annually by around 720 basis points, imposing an implicit tax on annual per-capita income of 12.8% on average. Raising deposit rates will increase household income and boost consumption in the medium-term if the Chinese government is able to initiate policy shifts that distribute the gains of economic growth more equitably to households. Research advised …
Power And Practice In Academic Library Materials Selection Paradigms, Elena S. Smith
Power And Practice In Academic Library Materials Selection Paradigms, Elena S. Smith
School of Information Student Research Journal
This article examines the theoretical and practical implications of three methods of materials acquisitions in an academic library. First, it evaluates how traditional collection development, electronic patron driven acquisitions (PDA) and other older forms of PDA affect materials storage, preservation, purchase speed and usage. Then this paper employs Foucault’s theories about power to discuss the ramifications of these acquisitions methods for librarians and three major user groups: faculty, graduate students and undergraduates. The article concludes that each method presents different practical and theoretical advantages and disadvantages.
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: The Perplexing Problem Of Indexing Images, Lindsay L. Marlow, Amy Miller
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: The Perplexing Problem Of Indexing Images, Lindsay L. Marlow, Amy Miller
School of Information Student Research Journal
Indexing images has always been problematic due to their richness of content and innate subjectivity. Three traditional approaches to indexing images are described and analyzed. An introduction of the contemporary use of social tagging is presented along with its limitations. Traditional practices can continue to be used as a stand-alone solution, however deficiencies limit retrieval. A collaborative technique is supported by current research and a model created by the authors for its inception is explored. CONTENTdm® is used as an example to illustrate tools that can help facilitate this process. Another potential solution discussed is the expansion of algorithms used …

Health Literacy: An Overview Of An Emerging Field, Mary Grace Flaherty
School of Information Student Research Journal
According to the National Adult Literacy Survey, nearly 90 million American adults test below a high school level for literacy skills (Kirsch, Jungeblut, Jenkins & Kolstad, 1993).Because most health materials are written at least at the high school level, this finding has major implications in terms of health care provision in this country (Helitzer, Hollis, Cotner & Oestreicher, 2009). This paper attempts to give an overview of the field of health literacy and includes: a brief background with current definitions; a description of screening and measurement tools; a discussion of aspects of limited literacy; the implications for quality health care; …

#Socialtagging: Defining Its Role In The Academic Library, Annalise Ammer, Katherine Bertel
School of Information Student Research Journal
The information environment is rapidly changing, affecting the ways in which information is organized and accessed. User needs and expectations have also changed due to the overwhelming influence of Web 2.0 tools. Conventional information systems no longer support evolving user needs. Based on current research, we explore a method that integrates the structure of controlled languages with the flexibility and adaptability of social tagging. This article discusses the current research and usage of social tagging and Web 2.0 applications within the academic library. Types of tags, the semiotics of tagging and its influence on indexing are covered.

Cuatro Poetas Cubanos Transterrados, Madeline Cámara
Cuatro Poetas Cubanos Transterrados, Madeline Cámara
Revista Surco Sur
Presenta a cuatro poetas cubanos de la diáspora, que radican en Europa, donde encuentra una continuidad del sentimiento de nostalgia y arraigo a los orígenes, con poetas cubanos también transterrados a lo largo del siglo XIX y XX. Al señalar el peso de las relaciones sociales y políticas que determinaron su condición de exiliados, dice la autora: Pero ellos son poetas y ya sabemos que el oficio no está institucionalizado porque el poema no tiene casa, es más, no requiere Casa más allá de la Metáfora que él mismo cre. Su autonomía es su libertad.

Revista Surco Sur
Betania se fundó en 1987 como un proyecto cultural dedicado –inicialmente- a publicar libros de poesía de autores españoles e hispanoamericanos. No obstante, como bien dices, fuimos ampliando otras colecciones, sobre todo, la de narrativa (novela y libros de cuentos) y la de ensayo (literario e histórico), aunque también lo seguimos intentando con la literatura infantil y las obras de teatro, que son más difíciles de trabajar, u otras colecciones como las de Arte, Ciencias Sociales, etc. En definitiva, más de 500 títulos en estos 24 años de labor editorial, de donde un 80% son libros de poesía (poemarios y …

Revista Surco Sur
Las artes plásticas en Cuba, durante la década de 1980, tuvieron una energía, una fuerza expresiva en su irreverencia, en su alcance social, que conmocionaron las estructuras artísticas y culturales de una manera que no ha vuelto a repetirse en la Isla. Con su accionar, los jóvenes pintores, escultores, grabadores, dibujantes, les abrieron espacios, no solo a sus colegas, sino igualmente al resto de los artistas y escritores, insuflando un huracán de aire fresco en la creación artística y literaria, amordazadas en la década anterior. Ángel Alonso Blanco, apenas recién graduado de la Academia San Alejandro, se involucró activamente en …

La Ilustre E Ignorada Historia De Las Letras Hispanas En Estados Unidos, Kenya C. Dworkin Y Méndez
Revista Surco Sur
Un tema que se ha puesto de moda desde hace unos años — esto de rescatar la memoria. La memoria, a veces tan efímera y elusiva, significa en su primera acepción “ facultad de conservar ideas anteriormente adquiridas”, y es tan sólo en su sexta acepción que este esmerado vocablo establece alguna conexión entre las ideas conservadas y lo escrito. Entonces, memoria, como relación, nos permite acercarnos un poco más al tema de hoy — el desmantelamiento de la Historia Oficial, o sea, la Memoria Oficial. Nos urge esta labor porque si nos quedamos o permitimos que nos dejen en …

Lezama En Lunes, Lunes En Lezama, Elizabeth Mirabal, Carlos Velazco
Revista Surco Sur
En este ensayo, los autores valoran las posiciones del escritor José Lezama Lima con la publicación Lunes de Revolución, en la que se expresan las complejas contradicciones entre los más importantes escritores cubanos de la época, entre ellos y en relación con la política cultural de la Revolución Cubana. Las posiciones de escritores como Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Heberto Padilla, José Rodríguez Feo, Virgilio Piñera y otros, se aprecian no solo en sus relaciones con el autor de Paradiso, sino en las complicadas conexiones con la orientación de la revolución.

Ladrillos Flotantes, Rubén Soto Rivera
Revista Surco Sur
Mientras que, por ineluctable necesidad, yo hacía subir casi infinitesimalmente el nivel del agua, veía maravillado cómo un ladrillo flotaba río abajo empujado por la corriente del Kaikos. ¿Hasta dónde lo llevará la corriente? Tal vez, lo orille o se encaje entre rocas salientes en algún tramo del lecho poco profundo. Sigo mirando el arcillesco barquito a la deriva hasta perderlo de vista. Quizás, náufrago, desemboque hasta el mar y éste, en su vaivén de flujos y reflujos, lo haga encayar en un arrecife de coral cercano a las costas del Ática, o hasta arribe así en arenas del Pireo. …

Crítica De La Técnica Y Humanismo Comprometido En Ernesto Sábato, Damián Pachón Soto
Revista Surco Sur
Interesa señalar aquí que, para Sábato, en la actual sociedad se han perdido la solidaridad, el afecto, la vergüenza; se ha renunciado, en medio de lo que podemos llamar el fervor del “enclaustramiento por lo técnico” de la “forma-vida-frenesí”, a experiencias profundas como el amor y la amistad; nos hemos despojado de la entraña, nos hemos vaciado más y vagamos con la “conciencia arrobada” y con la atención fragmentada por los destellos del espectáculo, del brillo de los desfiles de moda, la suntuosidad de las estrellas del entertainment y la sociedad hipermasificada, la mercancía y los millones de bites de …

De La Romana A Washington Heights: El Azar Trashumante De Josefina Báez, Néstor E. Rodríguez
Revista Surco Sur
Uno de los aportes artísticos más osados que ha dado la diáspora en cuanto a la teorización de lo dominicano se refiere es Dominicanish de Josefina Báez. Publicado en el año 2000, Dominicanish es un texto armado a partir de la obra poética de Báez y adaptado para el teatro por el dramaturgo y director Claudio Mir. Se trata de un texto rico en matices, intensidad y cruces inesperados; proteico en todo el sentido de la palabra.

Durante varios meses viví en las camas que en de los hoteles de lujo de Milwaukee. Me dedicaba a lo que es mi naturaleza: chupar poco a poco la sangre de los hombres. Un día de primavera conocí a María Luisa, quien entonces se hacía acompañar de un tipo al que llamaba sin ternura “Señor comisionado”... Ya en el verano abandoné el Hilton y me fui con ella en su neceser. Así, en cuestión de días, vine a saber del ingeniero. Ahora tengo acceso a la memoria del ingeniero.

Revista Surco Sur
En Sobre los pasos del cronista (El quehacer intelectual de Guillermo Cabrero Infante en Cuba hasta 1965), sus autores, Elizabeth Mirabal y Carlos Velazco, dan muestra tangible de una capacidad investigadora cabal, esa que se atreve con graves desafíos y los vence, no por la fuerza o el detonante verbal, sino por la inteligencia y la eficacia en la estructura del discurso ensayístico, pero, sobre todo, por una comprensión crítica valerosa y amante
