The article introduces the creative work of the famous American playwright Sam Shepard, whose works are almost unknown to our Uzbek reader. His plays are well known throughout the world; they influenced the formation of the worldview of readers of different nations and show the peculiarities of American culture. Despite the worldwide fame of Sam Shepard’s works, they are not studied well by literary critics. In America and Europe his works have been studied in details for a long period, and even several monographs in English have been written. However, neither in the Russian speaking, nor in the domestic literary criticism there is yet no major work on Shepard's works. The article also deals with the artistic features of the political myth of the “American dream” in one of the most scandalous plays, “The God of Hell,” dedicated to the protest against the war in Iraq. Thus, this study, which touches upon some issues of Shepard's creative work in connection with his innovative artistic originality, to a certain extent, seeks to fill this gap.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini sebagai refleksi kreatif penulis dalam memotret dinamika sosial di Kota Banjarmasin Kalimantan Selatan terkait lahirnya Perda No. 4 tahun 2005 tentang Perubahan atas  Peraturan Daerah No. 13 tahun 2003 tentang Larangan Kegiatan pada Bulan Ramadlan terhadap Hubungan antar Agama. Sebagai implikasi politik diberlakukannya otonomi daerah, maka pemerintah daerah mempunyai ‘kewenangan’ untuk membuat peraturan daerah (perda) termasuk Perda Syari’ah. Penelitian lapangan ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan kerangka teori konflik Karl Marx dan Ralf Dahrendorf. Temuan menarik dari tulisan ini adalah munculnya perda syar’iah (Perda Ramadlan) tersebut menimbulkan pro-kontra, karena cenderung dijadikan alat memperkuat kekuasaan, politisasi agama, dan diskriminasi etnis minoritas, sehingga sangat berpotensi mengundang konflik, yakni konflik vertikal (antara masyarakat versus aparat) dan konflik horizontal (masyarakat mayoritas versus minoritas) dan yang lebih tragis lagi berdampak negatif pada hubungan antar agama. Secara prinsip Perda Ramadlan secara substantif tidak memberikan dampak yang signifikan dalam hubungan antar agama di Banjarmasin, terbatasnya akses ekonomi kalangan pedagang. Meski demikian, masyarakat Banjarmasin dalam mensikapi Perda Ramadlan tersebut tidak anarkhis artinya masih mensikapi secara arif dan damai.   Abstract: This article is creative reflection of social dynamic in Banjarmasin city, South Kalimantan relating the release of Perda (local official regulation) No. 4. Tahun 2005 of alteration on the previous Perda No. 13 Tahun 2003 of activities prohibition during Ramadlan (fasting month) toward inter-religion relations. As the political implication of local-government autonomy, local government has “authority” to establish Perda including syari’ah Perda. This is a field study that apply a qualitative approach using theoretical framework of Karl Marx and Ralf Dahrendorf. The research findings show that the release of syari’ah perda causes pro and anti. It seems become a tool to strengthen the power, religious politicization, and minority ethnic descrimination. It can cause conflicts; a horizontal conflict -minor against major society; a vertical conflict -society against government. It gives bad impact toward religion relations. The perda of ramadlan does not substantively contribute a significant impact on the religious relationship in Banjarmasin. On the other hand, Banjarmasin people do not react it anarchically, they even perform wise and peaceful attitude. Kata-kata Kunci: Perda Ramadlan, konflik vertikal, dan konflik horisontal

<div><p>Spain suffers a demographic ageing process for several decades now, and today it is one of the most aged countries in the world. This process entails changes in the characteristics of different generations, some of which will be especially relevant in the future cohorts that advance into mature age. Specifically, the ageing of the population alters the patterns of political implication. This work analyzes the influence that gender questions and generation may have in the political behavior of the elderly. We present a relational study based on the data provided by the <em>Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas</em> (Center for Sociological Research). Our findings prove that gender and generation introduce important differences in interest as well as in social participation. We also provide conclusions on the importance of belonging to one specific generation with regard to the implication in public affairs, as opposed to frequent considerations that tend to grant more preeminence to age. Similarly, we provide relevant information on the next older generation, who will not only be important in number, but also will conceivably take on a very important main social role.</p></div>
