This paper is the result of a transcription text analysis of a song titled "lok laga" hosted by panting music group in South Kalimantan. Using the qualitative approach and the semiotic method of Riffatere poems, it is found that this work is part of the oral tradition that is packed in the song. The purpose or function derived from this song are some things, among them are the description of the ideal traditional wedding of South Kalimantan in the past, the myth of the dragon which is a form of local wisdom and cultural fusion in Borneo, and the marker of a tourist site as a promotional event. Another interesting thing found in the lyrics is the songwriter's message to direct the listener to change the perception of myth into something less sacred.[Tulisan ini merupakan hasil analisis teks transkripsi sebuah lagu berjudul “lok laga” yang dibawakan oleh grup musik panting di Kalimantan Selatan.

Tujuan atau fungsi yang didapatkan dari lagu ini ada beberapa hal, di antaranya adalah deskripsi pernikahan adat Kalimantan Selatan yang ideal pada masa lampau, mitos tentang naga yang merupakan bentuk kearifan lokal dan perpaduan budaya di Kalimantan, dan penanda situs wisata sebagai ajang promosi. Hal menarik lainnya yang ditemukan dalam lirik ini terdapat pesan pengarang lagu untuk mengarahkan pendengar mengubah persepsi mitos menjadi hal yang tidak terlalu sakral.]

In the history of humankind, no matter how far back we look into the past, peaceful relations between people and nations have always been the ideal, and yet this history abounds in wars and bloodshed. The documentary evidence, oral tradition and the mute testimony of archaeological sites tell an incontrovertible tale of man's cruelty and violence against his fellow man. Nevertheless, manifestations of compassion, mercy and mutual aid have a no less ancient record. Peace and war, goodneighbourly attitudes and aggression, brutality and humanity exist side by side in the contemporary world as well.

A phenomenon that starts to become popular in social media, especially Instagram, is becoming a content creator that focuses on beauty, also known as beauty influencer. Beauty influencers are identical to pretty and feminine concepts, but as the time goes by, male beauty influencers started to emerge as well. This created positive and negative opinions in society, especially about their gender identities. In Indonesia, genderless issue starts to attract public attention. Many people started to question the stiff gender categories by expressing their opinions regarding this phenomenon. This research was conducted with qualitative approach with Teun Van Dijk text analysis method. Data collection was conducted by observations, interviews, and documentations. Based on analysis, it is found that changes in society may affect an individual's social system, attitude, value, and behavioural pattern. People in the past recognise that men are masculine and women are feminine. Nowadays, gender limitation line is getting thinner, prioritising human rights. This proves that the perception of gender identities in the society are slowly changing.Salah satu fenomena yang marak di media sosial khususnya Instagram adalah menjadi content creator di bidang kecantikan atau yang biasa disebut dengan beauty influencer.Beauty influencer identik dengan konsep cantik dan feminine. Seiring perkembangan zaman, saat ini ada pula beauty influencer berjenis kelamin laki-laki. Hal tersebut memunculkan berbagai opini positif maupun negatif dalam masyarakat, khususnya mengenai identitas gender yang mereka tampilkan. Di Indonesia, isu genderless semakin menjadi perhatian publik. Orang-orang mulai mempertanyakan kategori gender yang kaku dan mengemukakan berbagai pendapat atas fenomena ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif menggunakan teknik analisis wacana Teun Van Dijk. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dapat diketahui bahwa adanya perubahan dalam masyarakat dapat mempengaruhi sistem sosial, sikap, nilai, dan pola perilaku individu. Masyarakat pada zaman dulu memiliki persepsi bahwa pria harus maskulin dan perempuan feminin. Sementara zaman sekarang, garis pembatasan gender semakin tipis dan lebih mengutamakan hak manusia. Hal tersebut membuktikan bahwa persepsi mengenai identitas gender yang ada dalam masyarakat sudah perlahan-lahan berubah.

This book lays out a vision for how we should theorize about justice in a diverse society. It shows how free and equal people, faced with intractable struggles and irreconcilable conflicts, might share a common moral life shaped by a just framework. The book argues that if we are to take diversity seriously and if moral inquiry is sincere about shaping the world, then the pursuit of idealized and perfect theories of justice—essentially, the entire production of theories of justice that has dominated political philosophy for the past forty years—needs to change. Drawing on recent work in social science and philosophy, the book points to an important paradox: only those in a heterogeneous society—with its various religious, moral, and political perspectives—have a reasonable hope of understanding what an ideally just society would be like. However, due to its very nature, this world could never be collectively devoted to any single ideal. The book defends the moral constitution of this pluralistic, open society, where the very clash and disagreement of ideals spurs all to better understand what their personal ideals of justice happen to be. Presenting an original framework for how we should think about morality, this book rigorously analyzes a theory of ideal justice more suitable for contemporary times.

‘No person can be blamed for refusing to read another word of what promises to be a mere imposition upon his credulity.’ Julian West, a feckless aristocrat living in fin-de-siècle Boston, plunges into a deep hypnotic sleep in 1887 and wakes up in the year 2000. America has been turned into a rigorously centralized democratic society in which everything is controlled by a humane and efficient state. In little more than a hundred years the horrors of nineteenth-century capitalism have been all but forgotten. The squalid slums of Boston have been replaced by broad streets, and technological inventions have transformed people’s everyday lives. Exiled from the past, West excitedly settles into the ideal society of the future, while still fearing that he has dreamt up his experiences as a time traveller. Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward (1888) is a thunderous indictment of industrial capitalism and a resplendent vision of life in a socialist utopia. Matthew Beaumont’s lively edition explores the political and psychological peculiarities of this celebrated utopian fiction.

Oral tradition has been recognized by historians as a vital source for historical reconstruction of non-literate societies. However, one of its “deficienc[ies] is an inability to establish and maintain an accurate assessment of the duration of the past [it] seeks to reconstruct.” As a result of its time-lessness it has been declared ahistorical. In the same vein R.A. Sargent argues that [c]hronology is the framework for the reconstruction of the past, and is vital to the correlation of evidence, assessment of data, and the analysis of historical sources. Any construction of history [which] fails to consider or employ dating and the matrix of time to examine the order and nature of events in human experience can probably be labelled ahistorical.Basically, the concern of critics of oral tradition is that, while they are veritable sources of history, the researcher “must work and rework them with an increasing sophistication and critical sense.” Because dating is very pivotal to the historian's craft, different techniques have been adopted alone or in combination to create a relative chronology. In precolonial African history, the most commonly used have been genealogical data which include dynastic generations, genealogical generations (father-to-son succession) and the age-set generation. Also systematically charted comets, solar eclipses, and droughts have been employed by historians in dating historical events, or in calculating the various generational lengths.A dynastic generation is determined by “the time elapsing between the accession of the first member of a given generation to hold office and the accession of the first representative of the next.”

An Unusual Ingredient – Manna Manna, a gift from nature, comes from a kind of ash called “Fraxinus angustifolia” or “Fraxinus ornus” found in the surrounding areas of the towns of Castelbuono, Pollina and Cefalù (Italy). In the past, it was grown extensively in the Mediterranean basin though all traces of it seem to be lost. The history is pieced together with historical references from the Bible, health manuals from ancient civilizations, and references to the implements used to harvest it. Its mysterious or miraculous properties are presented; two kinds of manna were thought to exist, one from Heaven, and the other from a tree. The ideal conditions for growing the trees and harvest are described with plentiful folklore, local customs, special vocabulary and tools mentioned. Manna is harvested in summertime when the plant is “in love”, from June to September or until the first rains, which would dissolve it, start to fall. The people of Pollina romantically call manna, “a sweet gift of nature”. It tastes like honey mixed with carob. The sap flows through a gash made with a special technique, using a curved cutter called a “mannarolo,” on the vein of the trunk of the tree, and it is left to drip for several days. The sap crystallizes and forms long clumps similar to stalactites, which are called “cannolo” in the manna-world vocabulary. The juice is violet and very bitter when it drips, but the contact with the air and the strong Sicilian sun dries and sweetens it. “Cannoli” are harvested with an “archetto.” There is a second and third grade of sap, which doesn’t crystallize or form cannoli. Prickly-pear leaves act as a sort of spout to catch the manna. Its medicinal qualities include its mild laxative effect, its natural sweetness for dietary purposes, and its use in digestive alcoholic drinks and cosmetics is noted. It is sold at pharmacies and tobacco stores.

Cultural archaism is often thought of as a natural concomitant of oral tradition, and by extension, of a literature that is influenced by oral tradition. In the case of Old English poetry, archaism might include residual pagan religious beliefs and practices, such as the funeral rites inBeowulfor the use of runes for sortilege, and certain outmoded aspects of social organization such as the idea of a state dependent upon thecomitatusfor military security. An example often cited is the adaptation of heroic terminology and detail to Christian topics. The compositional method in Cædmon's ‘Hymn’, for instance, is regarded by many scholars as an adaptation of panegyric epithets to the praise of God, although N. F. Blake has noted that heroic epithets in the poem could have derived their inspiration from the psalms. InThe Dream of the Rood, the image of Christ mounting the Cross as a warrior leaping to battle has been regarded variously as evidence of an artistic limitation imposed by oral tradition, or as a learned metaphor pointing to the divine and human nature of Christ and to the crucifixion as a conflict between Christ and the devil. The martyrdom of the apostles is represented as military conflict in Cynewulf'sFates of the Apostles, Christ and his apostles as king andcomitatusin Cynewulf'sAscension, and temptation by devils as a military attack inGuthlac A; these illustrate a point made by A.B. Lord concerning the nature of conservatism in oral tradition: ‘tradition is not a thing of the past but a living and dynamic process which began in the past [and] flourishes in the present’.
