Sahel Region In French Postcolonial Discourse: Macron's Production Of Space And Security Rhetoric, Azzahrah F. A Putri, Abellia Anggi Wardani Dr.

International Review of Humanities Studies

Between the Sahara Desert and the Sudanese Savannah, the Sahel region has become a contested geopolitical space. This study analyses how France is reconstructing its hegemony following its military withdrawal through the rhetoric of Emmanuel Macron (2021 and 2025). Using Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1995) and the theory of spatial production (Lefebvre, 1974), this study examines how the discourses of “partnership” and “security” are employed to maintain French influence. Qualitative methods were applied to Macron's speeches, French media, and statements by former presidents of Sahel countries. The results show that France is redefining the Sahel as a ‘crisis zone’ requiring …

From The “Paris Of The East” To Modern Phnom Penh: Colonial Legacies In Cambodian Urban Planning, Jin Ke, Ade Solihat Jan 2026

From The “Paris Of The East” To Modern Phnom Penh: Colonial Legacies In Cambodian Urban Planning, Jin Ke, Ade Solihat

International Review of Humanities Studies

Phnom Penh was once known as the “Paris of the East,” serving as a major urban center in Indochina during the French colonial period. Colonial authorities shaped the city through functional zoning, planned street networks, and European-style architecture, all of which reflected hierarchies of power embedded in urban space. Despite the extensive destruction caused by the Khmer Rouge regime and subsequent postwar reconstruction, traces of colonial urban planning and architectural heritage remain clearly visible in the contemporary development of Phnom Penh. This study adopts a literature-based approach combined with historical analysis, spatial analysis, and architectural case studies to examine how …

Gotong Royong As Political Praxis: Collective Responsibility And Democratic Action, Donny Gahral Adian Jan 2026

Gotong Royong As Political Praxis: Collective Responsibility And Democratic Action, Donny Gahral Adian

International Review of Humanities Studies

This research explores gotong royong, an indigenous Indonesian concept of mutual cooperation, as an alternative political culture in the face of liberal individualism and capitalist competition. Drawing from the philosophical legacy of Soekarno, Indonesia’s founding president, the research situates gotong royong not merely as a traditional value, but as a dynamic political principle grounded in tolerance, solidarity, and social justice. Soekarno’s vision of democracy transcends procedural liberalism by emphasizing equal capabilities, not just equal opportunities, thereby addressing the structural and cultural barriers that hinder political participation for marginalized citizens. Through a comparative lens, the article juxtaposes the atomizing effects …

The Use Of The Term Ukhti On Social Media Platform X In Indonesia, Indah Putri Sobada, Wiwin Triwinarti Jan 2026

The Use Of The Term Ukhti On Social Media Platform X In Indonesia, Indah Putri Sobada, Wiwin Triwinarti

International Review of Humanities Studies

This study traces the semantic transformation of the lexicon ukhti within Indonesia’s digital landscape. The term ukhti ( أُ خْ تِي ), derived from Arabic and meaning “my sister,” was initially used as a form of biological kinship address, later evolving into a fictional kinship address. However, in its current usage, the term increasingly conveys exclusivity and produces stereotypical perceptions of Muslim women. This study focuses on the use of ukhti on Indonesia's Social Media Platform X, examining how its meaning has become more specific and how this shift affects the representation of diverse Muslim female identities. Therefore, this study …

Solitary Interiority In Hong Kong Public Spaces, Xia Bi, Kin Wai Michael Siu, Rosina Yuan Jan 2026

Solitary Interiority In Hong Kong Public Spaces, Xia Bi, Kin Wai Michael Siu, Rosina Yuan

Interiority

Hong Kong's dense urban environment, constrained housing, and relentless tempo of everyday life create a context in which solitude is both scarce and valued. This article develops the concept of solitary interiority to capture how moments of solitude in public space generate interiority as a relational condition through the interplay of bodies, atmospheres, and cultural norms. Drawing on ethnographic interviews and multisensory experiential reflection, the article demonstrates how solitary interiority arises from the blurring of boundaries between the domestic and the urban, the self and others, and the private and the public. Individuals extend certain home-like qualities into public spaces, …

The Effect Of The Socioeconomic Variety In Greater Cairo On Transport Mode Choices, Rafik Yanni

Theses and Dissertations

In the last decade, Egypt has experienced a noticeable upgrade in its infrastructure investment, implementing a lot of transport projects, especially in the Greater Cairo region. In a city with over 20 million residents, variations lie in socioeconomic elements like income, age, gender, and neighborhood, which shape people’s choice of mobility modes based on their culture and lifestyle. The questions then become: whom are these new projects targeting? What are the barriers to using these services? And is there any willingness to change commuting habits if conditions changed? This thesis investigates how the socioeconomic variety in Greater Cairo metropolitan region …

Between Stigma And Survival: Life Narratives Of Vietnamese Brides In China, Weikang Pu, Mina Elfira Jan 2026

Between Stigma And Survival: Life Narratives Of Vietnamese Brides In China, Weikang Pu, Mina Elfira

International Review of Humanities Studies

The phenomenon of cross-border marriages between Vietnamese women and Chinese men is often reduced by mainstream media to simplified stereotypes—depicting them as victims of human trafficking, impoverished women seeking economic escape, or submissive "imported brides." Such depictions obscure the everyday realities through which these women confront and negotiate social stigma in a foreign socio-cultural environment. Drawing on narrative interviews with ten Vietnamese brides living in different regions of China, this study examines how stigma is experienced and negotiated through everyday survival strategies. Using a qualitative narrative approach, this research explores how participants respond to stigma through practices such as economic …

The Mediating Role Of Trust: How Cultural Factors Shape Consumer Acceptance Of Chinese Electric Vehicles In Jakarta, Indonesia, Suci Kuswardani, Ike Iswary Lawanda

International Review of Humanities Studies

This study examines the mediating role of consumer trust in the relationship between cultural factors and the purchase intention of Chinese Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Jakarta, Indonesia. While global EV adoption is often analyzed through techno-economic lenses, this research addresses a critical gap by investigating the under-explored socio-cultural dimensions that shape consumer behavior in emerging markets. Framed by an integrated theoretical approach combining Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and Reception Theory, the study explores how local cultural values such as collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and social status filter the acceptance of Chinese EV technology. A qualitative case study …

Songs Of Mahzani Of Woloan And Rukukan: From Ritual To Performance, Jeane Angela Manus, Priscila Fitriasih Fitriasih Limbong, Turita Indah Setyani, Muhammad Yoesoef

International Review of Humanities Studies

As one of oral traditions acknowledged in Woloan and Rurukan, Tomohon Minahasa, the songs of mahzani have long been sung in these two areas. As we understand that oral tradition would disappear from its community when it has lost its real function, this particular oral tradition has developed into staged performances. Songs of mahzani that had been practiced for generations as part of the mapalus traditions in the last decades has significantly decreased in line with the change of lifestyle of the people who practice it. Using qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, this article is to delve into the …

From Archives To Public Space: Art Archiving Practices In Indonesia, Ayu Astuti, Ike Iswary Lawanda

International Review of Humanities Studies

Art archives hold a crucial role in the production of knowledge and the writing of art history. In Indonesia, however, the management and accessibility of art archives remain uneven, resulting in significant gaps within art historiography. This article examines how art archives function not merely as repositories of documentation, but as cultural practices and public knowledge infrastructures that shape the conditions of art history writing. Using a qualitative approach, this study combines literature review with case studies of selected archival initiatives in Indonesia, including the Indonesian Visual Art Archive (IVAA), Pusat Dokumentasi Salihara, and Dicti Art Laboratory. The findings reveal …

Discourse And Ideological Strategies In Presidential Campaign Speeches Of Mr Peter Obi, Richard Oliseyenum Oliseyenum Maledo, Rita Ejiro Enisire

International Review of Humanities Studies

Studies on political speeches in Nigeria have focused essentially on the speeches of political office inaugural speeches and speeches of political office holders, while not much appears to be done on the speeches of candidates who did not succeed in the election. Thus, this study undertakes a critical analysis of discourse and ideological strategies in the presidential campaign speeches of Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, in the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria. Mr Peter Obi's speech in Akwa Ibom State is purposively selected as our data for this study, and Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach to …

Critical Design And The Robotic Imaginary: Design Criticism And Critical Robots, Jörgen Behrendtz Jan 2026

Critical Design And The Robotic Imaginary: Design Criticism And Critical Robots, Jörgen Behrendtz

The Journal of Sociotechnical Critique

This paper brings critical design and design criticism to critical robot studies. Critical design can be described as an umbrella term for approaches making use of speculative designs to highlight and challenge narrow assumptions, preconceptions or even taken-for-granted truths about the role products play (in a wide sense) in everyday life. Design criticism refers to a reasoned procedure that investigates emancipatory and/or limiting potentials of designs, theorizes the roles of affordances, materials and embodied perception as epistemological resources in media interaction, and clarifies connections between specific design choices and their associated experiential qualities, seductive powers, ideological underpinnings, material operations, and …

A Student Fund In A One-Hour Lab

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

First-hand experiences considering relevant research are used to examine the benefits and difficulties in implementing a studentmanaged investment fund through a repeatable one-hour lab format at a small regional state university. Implementing a student-managed fund in a lab format with fewer hours than a regular course reduces demands on faculty teaching load as well as on available hours in a student’s academic program. The multi-semester approach allows a stepwise progression of learning over multiple semesters, but its major difficulty is managing the mix of student skill levels.

Dave Ramsey’S Personal Finance: A Primer And Critique Jan 2026

Dave Ramsey’S Personal Finance: A Primer And Critique

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Author and radio host Dave Ramsey advises millions of people on personal finance. Starting from the assumption that people are not good at maximizing their own utility, he recommends a rules-based approach that often directly contradicts conventional instruction in personal finance. This article shows how Ramsey’s recommendations follow from his behavioral assumptions and highlights some of his specific recommendations about financial products and services that are at odds with traditional personal finance. After making these contrasts, the article outlines implications for educators who, whether they agree with Ramsey’s approach or not, should understand the strengths and limitations of his approach.

Priming Effects Of Instructor-Expressed Judgments Of The Difficulty Of Quantitative Material On Student Performance And Perceptions Jan 2026

Priming Effects Of Instructor-Expressed Judgments Of The Difficulty Of Quantitative Material On Student Performance And Perceptions

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

We investigate whether instructors teaching quantitative material can influence student performance through priming, a psychological phenomenon wherein exposure to a stimulus can influence memory and behavior. We first examine whether instructors can influence performance by priming students with statements stating that a quantitative problem has “Advanced” or “Basic” difficulty. We then investigate effects of priming on perceived difficulty. Priming does not affect performance but does affect perceptions. Compared to no priming, Basic priming reduces perceived difficulty, while Advanced priming increases female students’ perceived difficulty. Male students view Basic problems to be easier, but do not see Advanced problems as harder.

Traditional, Online, Or Flipped Classes–Which Do Students Prefer? Jan 2026

Traditional, Online, Or Flipped Classes–Which Do Students Prefer?

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper describes the creation of a flipped classroom based on experimentation, student feedback, and an instructor’s impressions about learning outcomes. Based on 601 student responses to a survey administered between 2014 and 2018 to lower and upper level economics classes at a four-year public university, this paper finds that the majority of students preferred flipped to traditional as well as to 100% online classes. Other results indicate that students preferred watching lecture videos to reading textbooks or attending in-class lectures, and preferred weekly-structured assignments over dailystructured assignments. However, findings indicate mixed student preferences with respect to flipped mastery.

Teaching Margin Trading And Financial Leverage Together Jan 2026

Teaching Margin Trading And Financial Leverage Together

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Margin trading and financial leverage are typically taught separately from each other. In this study, we present a pedagogical approach with a dual focus on margin trading and financial leverage. We borrow the insights and tools from financial leverage in a corporate setting and apply them to margin trading as a special case of financing an investment using debt and equity. In addition to producing a simple and intuitive formula for performance calculations on a margin trade, our approach offers the benefit of improving students' understanding of how margin trading and financial leverage operate in general.

Teaching Foreign Exchange Rates: A Primer

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Given the importance of foreign exchange in introductory economics courses, this paper aims at providing a full and intuitive teaching of foreign exchange. First, there is a review of how the major current introductory texts offer somewhat inadequate treatment of the topic. Then, international transactions within a balance of payments framework are explained. Importantly, the market equilibrium exchange rate between the dollar and the euro is concurrently derived. Finally, the paper introduces, within a comparative static framework, changes in exchange rates from changes in major macroeconomic variables: the GDP of trading partners, domestic price level, and real interest rates.

The Cost Of Underperforming Investments Jan 2026

The Cost Of Underperforming Investments

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Underperforming investments change a firm's equity value, cost of equity, capital structure and cost of capital. We show how to correctly adjust the cost of capital and correctly value a firm with underperforming investments. The correct equity estimate equates the equity value derived from the Economic Profit Model with the equity used to estimate the WACC. We demonstrate how underperforming investments can reduce equity value even though earnings may increase. We confirm our results with the Residual Earnings Model and show that our approach for valuing a company with underperforming investments also works well with investments that increase equity value.
