Contestation of dominant masculinity in Indonesian Popular Culture influenced by the New Order can still be seen in its cinematic production. The legacy of The New Order echoes through themes of state’s violence and masculinity. The Raid: Redemption, as a huge international success, depicting vulgar violence done both by the state and the gangsters is very important to be analyzed. As the form of collective dreams, the contestation of masculinity and violence of the state and the gangster in the movie reflects the real social condition. Through historical perspective the state and the gangster are more like binary opposition; inseparable but opposing each other. The Gangsters became the state’s Frankenstein monster. On one side the state cannot allow the crime the gangsters do, but on the other the state keeps in creating the gangsters to the dirty jobs that state cannot do. Psychoanalytically speaking, their relationship resembles a father and a bad son. Those gangsters are “the son” and the state is “the father”. The effect of the state’s treatment to the gangsters can still be identified long after the down fall of the era that created it.

The author of this article argues that the paradox of postcolonial states pursuing internal and external policies remarkably similar to those of their colonial predecessors, despite the passage from colonialism to independence, is best resolved by focusing on the distinct, long-standing, institutional interests of the state-qua-state. It is these interests that make explicable the key policies of Suharto's New Order toward economic development, the Chinese minority, participatory organizations, and internal and external security. The author analyzes the nature and growth of the Dutch colonial state, its decline and near-collapse between 1942 (Japanese invasion) and 1965 (downfall of Sukarno's Guided Democracy), and its revival under ex-colonial sergeant Suharto.

Feminist Utopia

Prema Shah’s “A Husband” and Rokeya S. Hossain’s “Sultana’s Dream” present two complementary versions of women’s world: the real in Shah and the imagined in Hossain aspire to make the other complete. The worldview that each author projects in their texts reasserts the latent spirit of the other one. The embedded interconnectedness between the authors under discussion reveals their unique association and bond of women’s creative unity towards paving a road for the upliftment of women in general. The paper seeks to find out the historical forces leading to the formation of a certain type of bond between these two authors from different historical and socio-cultural realities. Shah locates a typical Nepali woman in the protagonist in the patriarchal order while Hossain pictures the contemporary Bengali Islamic society and reverses the role of men and women. Hossain’s ideal world and Shah’s real world form two complementary versions of each other: despite opposite in nature, each world completes the other. Sultana moves to the world of dream to seek a new order because Nirmala’s world exercises every form of tortures upon the women’s self. Shah exposes the social reality dictating upon the women’s self while Hossain’s protagonist escapes into the world of dream where women control the social reality effectively and successfully. Overall, Shah and Hossain complement each other’s world by presenting two alternative versions of the same reality, creating the feminist utopia.

Resumen:Este artículo describe los fenómenos lingüísticos -desde el punto de vista lexicográfico- de la lengua especializada que utilizan los pescadores del estado de Sonora. Mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario que rebasa las 390 preguntas y con la utilización del método de "palabras y cosas", se explora exhaustivamente el léxico pesquero de once poblaciones -puertos de altura y campamentos- sonorenses y se comparan entre sí con el objeto de hallar la extensión real y la vitalidad de cada uno de los términos marinos; asimismo, y con los mismos objetivos, se contrasta la nómina obtenida con otros sitios de México, América y España. El léxico patrimonial sonorense puede ser vislumbrado así a la luz de los contrastes que se establecen entre éste y las otras formas usadas por los pescadores del vasto mundo hispánico. De las múltiples denominaciones propias de la actividad pesquera y al tratarse de una muestra, se expone únicamente un filón de nueve centros de interés -el mar, meteorología, los astros, geomorfología, navegación y maniobras, jarcias, embarcaciones y construcción naval, artes de pesca y el comercio- de los diez en los que está dividido el cuestionario.Palabras clave : fenómenos lingüísticos; pescadores; léxico patrimonial; actividad pesquera; mundo hispánico. Abstract:This article describes the linguistic phenomena -from the lexicographical viewpoint- of the specialized language used by fishermen of the State of Sonora. By applying a questionnaire with more than 390 questions and by using the "words and things" method, the fishermen's vocabularies from eleven Sonora towns, deep sea ports and camps, are thoroughly explored and compared to each other in order to find the real extent and vitality of each of the "sea" words. Likewise, and with the same objectives, the list obtained is compared to other places in Mexico, America and Spain. The Sonora's patrimonial vocabulary can be glimpsed in the light of the contrasts between this vocabulary and the other forms used by fishermen around the immense Hispanic world. From the numerous denominations characteristic of the fishing activity, and since it's a sample, only nine focuses of attention are analyzed: the sea, meteorology, the stars, geomorphology, navigation and maneuvers, rigging, vessels and shipbuilding industry, nets, and trade.Key words: linguistic phenomena; fishermen; patrimonial vocabulary; fishing activity; Hispanic world.

International Identity

The 2016 Mandopop hit ‘Prague square’ ushered in a new romance for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in China. Such infatuation has resonated not only in popular culture, but was mirrored in China’s newfound boldness on the international stage. Drawing on CEE media accounts, the article demonstrates that China’s romance with the CEE countries was never reciprocated. In fact, the CEE region might present a significant outlier in that media accounts of China have been consistently negative in the decade preceding the Covid-19 pandemic. In other words, the pandemic merely accelerated trends that were already set in motion prior to 2020. In this respect, CEE media accounts of both China and the Covid-19 pandemic reveal an interesting ‘localization of the other’. As such, China has been used to validate specific domestic positions of different political formations. Perceptions of China (what it is assumed to stands for) have been deployed domestically in the CEE region to justify particular visions of the state and its international identity.

The article describes the contemporary state of the dialects spoken in the Nevelsky district (Russia, Pskov Province), which is bordering Belarus, in comparison with the north-eastern Belarusian dialects located on the other side of the state border. When establishing the linguistic areas, it was assumed that on one side of this border the dialects would change following the Standard Russian language, while on the other side they would follow Belarusian. However, the real situation is much more complicated: on one hand, some dialectal features disappeared under the influence of the respective standard language; on the other hand, quite often features of both dialects do not correspond to either Standard Russian or Standard Belarusian, and there are existing “Belarusian” features on the territory of Russian dialects.

The age of Saint Augustine was for the episcopate of the West a period of training for future duties. Before the end of the fifth century, in almost every community the real leader, both in temporal and spiritual matters, was the bishop. During the next two centuries there came into being the medieval prelate, a prince in the church and in the state; but the foundations of his ecclesiastical and civil jurisdiction had already been laid by the early part of the fifth century. The African bishops shared with their colleagues of the other western provinces the same line of evolution, until it was interrupted, first by the Vandal invasion, and then by the Islamic conquest. However, by that time Augustine of Hippo, Alypius of Thagaste, the primate Aurelius of Carthage, and their fellow-bishops had made contributions of permanent value to the whole church, and they had created a noble standard of duty and conduct to be emulated by prelates of a later day.

The One

Walter Bagehot divided the English constitution into two parts, the “dignified” and the “efficient.” The sovereign and the House of Lords were the dignified or the showy parts, imposing spectacles designed to serve as reminders of a glorious past and to impress an uneducated populace with the authority of the state. The cabinet and the House of Commons were the efficient parts, where the real work went on, where men of business transacted affairs of state using the authority obtained by the dignified parts. So he wrote in the years preceding the second Reform Bill, when it was conventional to speak of the rudeness and unruliness of an uneducated people and of the hazards of admitting them to the franchise. Yet his book, animated in such large measure by the debates on parliamentary reform of the late 1860s, remains a much-quoted authority on the English constitution today.Perhaps one among the reasons for its enduring popularity is that he expressed so neatly a notion that certainly existed before as well as in his time and that survives today, namely, that governmental activity can be divided into ceremonial and political parts. The one is opposed to the other as pleasure is to business, as emptiness is to substance, as illusion is to reality, as artifice is to plain speaking. In affairs of state, the adjective “ceremonial,” when attached to words like “head of state” or “official,” has come to mean empty figurehead or powerless placeholder. Ceremonies of state—coronations, jubilees, openings of Parliament—are picturesque and pleasant but essentially ephemeral, devoid of anything powerful other than that which is powerfully sentimental, colorful, and evocative.

The Way

It is often said that proper reading relies on the art of taking a pause: On our abilityto suspend the pressing rhythms of the everyday and allow ourselves to absorb, and be absorbed by, alternative structures of temporality. The clocks of the imagination do not run at the same speeds as the timetables of the real; to read is to inhabit the present at one's own pace and in the light of a multitude of unknown pasts and possible futures. Recent years have witnessed a swell in publications pondering the state of reading in our world of instant connectivity and shrinking attention spans. In one of these books, Jane Smiley, a Pulitzer Prize winner, considers the peculiar acts of writing and reading a novel as profound contributions to the process of enlightenment—a kind of enlightenment enlightened about itself and no longer repressing the other of reason: “The way in which novels are created—someone is seized by inspiration and then works out his inspiration methodologically by writing, observing, writing, observing, thinking through, and writing again—is by nature deliberate, dominated neither by reason nor by emotion” (176). According to Smiley, the act of reading a novel re-creates an author's deliberate negotiation of affect and rationality. As readers follow the lines of a (good) book, they remain in relative control over the speed of their reading, able to pause when necessary, to hasten forward when desiring so, to reread passages at their leisure, and to close the pages of the book when overtaken by exhaustion. Good stories rely on intricate plot constructions and narrative tensions, but they also situate readers as subjects freed from the temporal determination and ideological drive of other time-based media. Good books can certainly move readers, but—following Smiley's logic—they will not curtail a reader's freedom to move along the text at his or her own speed, and hence they will allow this reader to simultaneously bring into play emotion and reason, the absorptive and the distant.

Main Message

The main thesis of this paper is reveals how the process of political communication should take place in order to achieve the idealization of democracy in accordance with the objectives of post-collapse reform of the authoritarian new order era. After nearly 18 years of reformation, substantial issues and basic problems still seem to burden the government. On the other hand, political democratization process seems to be influenced by the old pattern. This paper elaborates how the role of political communication in the process of democratization has been going on. The data obtained through documentation studies from various sources. The results of the study indicate that a state that should be positioned as the main actor in the process of political communication is often overlooked because of the large number of noise that caused by the main message of the state which is not well conveyed. As the result, the institutionalization of democratic values is still not the main commitment of the political parties. In the future, this country needs a strategy that puts the state both as a communicator and a communicant, so that the consolidation of democracy can be realized soon.

The Government

This chapter illustrates that in addition to the election of three United States senators, the legislature had some very important work before it. A new public school system had to be inaugurated and put into operation, thus necessitating the construction of school houses throughout the state, some of them, especially in the towns and villages, to be quite large and of course expensive. All of the other public buildings and institutions in the state had to be repaired, some of them rebuilt, all of them having been neglected and some of them destroyed during the progress of the late war. In addition to this, the entire state government in all of its branches had to be reconstructed and so reorganized as to place the same in perfect harmony with the new order of things. To accomplish these things money was required; but there was none in the treasury. The government had to be carried on, therefore, on a credit basis—that is, by the issuing of notes or warrants based upon the faith or credit of the state.
