Dickens' Portrayal of the People in A Tale of Two Cities

Chapter four looks at Charles Dickens’s 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities. By examining parallels between the novel and Robespierre’s political philosophy, this chapter argues that Dickens’s novel understands the French Revolution not as an event that gave individuals the right of self-governance but as the event that formalized a conception of citizenship in which individual persons stand as avatars for the national will. The Revolutionary Terror and the guillotine are thus seen as the logical consequence of a theory of the nation that prioritized the People over individual persons.

Two Cities

Banten is one of the provinces in Indonesia. It is located in the westernmost of Java. Art Movement in Banten is not as famous as Jakarta, Yogyakarta, nor Bali. Being an Artist is not the most famous, not even an option for Banten's job or career. Being an artist in Banten is because the people are not familiar with the art, especially contemporary art. So being an artist in Banten means also being an educator for social change. Edi Bonetski and PengPeng, both are Banten born and raised artist, are trying to make an art movement in Banten. They are doing what I called "terror" in the two cities of Banten. Serang and Tangerang, through their artistic collaboration. The aim is to habituate people in Banten for seeing art. The more they make, the more people will get used to appreciate and live with art. They also made their artistic collaboration in the crowd area, so people can watch how art makes. This "terror" might be something common in Jakarta or Yogyakarta, but not in Banten. They change people's minds about art through their process demo and collaborate with anybody in the process. This practice is to engage people to learn art by doing an art activity. Pergerakan Seni dan Seniman di Banten Studi Kasus: Edi Bonetski X PengPeng ABSTRAK Banten adalah salah satu provinsi di Indonesia ysng terletak di paling barat Pulau Jawa. Gerakan Seni Rupa di Banten memang tidak terlalu terkenal dibanding Jakarta, Yogyakarta, atau Bali. Menjadi seniman bukanlah yang populerl, bahkan tidak menjadi pilihan pekerjaan atau karir di Banten. Perjuangan menjadi seniman di Banten disebabkan oleh masyarakat yang belum mengenal seni khususnya seni kontemporer. Menjadi seniman di Banten berarti juga sekaligus menjadi pendidik untuk perubahan sosial. Edi Bonetski dan PengPeng, merupakan dua seniman yang lahir dan besar di Banten, yang mencoba membuat gerakan seni di Banten. Mereka melakukan apa yang saya sebut dengan "teror" di dua kota Banten. Yakni Serang dan Tangerang, melalui kolaborasi seni mereka. Tujuannya adalah untuk membiasakan masyarakat Banten untuk melihat kesenian. Semakin banyak mereka membuat, semakin banyak orang yang terbiasa untuk mengapresiasi dan hidup dengan seni. Mereka juga berkolaborasi di area keramaian, sehingga masyarakat bisa menyaksikan bagaimana proses pembuatannya. "Teror" ini mungkin sudah biasa di Jakarta atau Yogyakarta, tapi tidak di Banten. Bagaimana mereka mengubah pikiran orang tentang seni melalui demo proses mereka, dan kolaborasi dengan siapa pun dalam prosesnya. Latihan ini mengajak masyarakat untuk belajar seni dengan melakukan aktivitas seni.

Information And Communication

This chapter defines three different patterns to understand how city marketing initiatives are designed and implementing, and how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can support the implementation of such patterns. The word pattern is used to characterize particular ways of thinking which embed values and beliefs about city marketing. The first pattern (idealist) assumes that a visionary type of image of cities can be developed to attract people to cities. The second pattern (strategic) emphasizes dialogue and participation in shaping up marketing initiatives by considering the underlying beliefs and values of people and how these can be “branded”. The third pattern (power-based) aims to be inclusive of intended and unintended effects of marketing so as to develop initiatives for the people and by the people. In the chapter, the role(s) of ICTs are discussed. Experience of using these patterns to understand the situation of two cities (Hull,UK, and Brest, France) leads us to suggest the intertwining of these patterns, and hence the importance of people’s engagement to facilitate better use of ICTs in the context of city marketing initiatives.
