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.

Agama Islam dan budaya masyarakat Aceh merupakan satu kesatuan. Agama Islam menjadi sumber utama dalam kebudayaan masyarakat Aceh, sehingga semua kesenian di Aceh, dalam hal ini seni tari, selalu dikaitkan dengan nilai keagamaan. Tari Seudati yang merupakan warisan budaya nenek moyang orang Aceh adalah salah satu tarian tradisional yang terus dilestarikan dan berkembang di kalangan masyarakat Aceh secara nasional maupun internasional. Proses perubahan meliputi: proses reproduksi dan proses transformasi, dari masa ke masa, dan mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Tari Seudati mengalami beberapa kali perubahan sosial, dikarenakan adanya penambahan norma-norma, nilai-nilai, adat, dan agama di masyarakat Aceh. Hasil dari perubahan sosial pada Tari Seudati kini terbagi menjadi dua yaitu: seudati agam (seudati laki-laki) sebagai tari tradisional dan seudati inong (seudati perempuan) sebagai tari kreasi. Seudati inong merupakan pengembangan dari seudati agam. Walaupun ada beberapa kali perubahan sosial dalam Tari Seudati, masyarakat Aceh tetap mengikuti norma-norma, nilai-nilai, adat, dan agama yang telah ditanamkan pada diri masyarakat Aceh sejak dahulu.Kata kunci: perubahan sosial, tari seudati, masyarakat aceh SOCIAL CHANGES IN SEUDATI DANCE IN ACEH SOCIETYAbstractThe religion of Islam and the culture of the people of Aceh is a unity. Islam is a major source of Acehnese culture, so that Art in Aceh, in this case dance, is always associated with religious values. Seudati Dance which is the cultural heritage of Acehnese ancestors is one of the traditional dances that continues to be preserved and developed among the people of Aceh nationally and internationally. The process of changes includes: the process of reproduction and the process of transformation, from time to time, keeping up with the changing times. Seudati dance experienced several times of social change, due to the addition of norms, values, customs, and religion in the people of Aceh. The result of social changes in Seudati Dance are now divided into two: seudati agam (seudati male) as traditional dance and seudati inong (seudati female) as dance creations. Seudati inong is the development of seudati agam. Although there are several times of social change in Seudati Dance, the people of Aceh still follow the norms, values, customs, and religions that have been implanted on Acehnese society long ago.Keywords: social changes, Seudati dance, Aceh society

An Orientation to Conflict Conflict is like sex: it is an important and pervasive aspect of life. It should be enjoyed and should occur with a reasonable degree of frequency, and after a conflict is over the people involved should feel better than they did before. Some psychiatrists and social scientists have given conflict a bad reputation by linking it with psychopathology, social disorder, and war. Conflict can be dysfunctional, but it also can be productive. It has many positive functions, including preventing stagnation and stimulating interest and curiosity. It is the medium through which problems can be aired and solutions developed. It is the root of personal and social change. The practical and scientific issue is not how to eliminate or prevent conflict but rather how to have lively controversy rather than deadly quarrels. A conflict exists whenever incompatible activities occur. The incompatible actions may originate in one person, group, or nation (intrapersonal, intragroup, or intranational) or they may reflect incompatible actions of two or more persons, groups, or nations (interpersonal, intergroup, or international). An action that is incompatible with another action prevents, obstructs, interferes, injures, or in some way makes the latter less likely or effective. A potential conflict exists when the parties involved perceive themselves to have incompatible values, interests, goals, needs, or beliefs.

Abstract This paper argues that unsettled people, far from being “marginal” individuals, played a key role in shaping early modern cities. It does so by going beyond the traditional binary between rooted and unstable people. Specifically, the paper takes the temporary places of residence of this “unsettled” population – notably inns (garnis in France, osterie in Italy) – as a vantage point to observe social change in early modern cities. The case studies are two cities which shared a growing and highly mobile population in the early modern period: Rome and Marseille. In the first section, the paper focuses on two semi-rural neighborhoods. This is to assess the impact of mobility in shaping demographic, urbanistic, and economic patterns in these areas. Moving from the neighborhood as a whole to the individual buildings which composed it, the second section outlines the biographies of two inns: Rome’s osteria d’Acquataccio and Marseille’s hôtel des Deux mondes. In turn, this is to evaluate changes and continuities over a longer period of time.

Buru Regency is one of the rice suppliers in Maluku Province.The achievements of Buru Regency as Maluku rice supplier cannot be separated from its history as a place for people who were exiled in 1969. The presence of these former people has an influence on social change in Buru Island. Located in Waeapo district, Buru regency, this qualitative research was conducted to explain social change in Waeapo, Buru by the former exiles. The results showed that before the former exiles arrived at Buru Island, the Waeapo was dominated by forests, where the local people practiced swidden agriculture. The presence of former exiles in 1969 changed the landscape of Buru from forest to paddyfields by means of forced labor. The forced labor and introduction of new agricultural system are patterns inherited from the colonial government. Nevertheless, in Buru, the harvest was consumed by the exiles instead of handed over to the government as a custom enforced by the colonials. The change in land use eventually changed the shifting cultivation system to permanent agriculture with the lowland rice farming system which is commonly practiced in Java. Ex-exiles were the people used by the New Order government to carry out development in remote areas in the 1969-1979 era until the change of Buru’s landscape, source of staple food, and cultural diversity exist in Waeapo..

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.

Web 2.0 online social media tools have made it increasingly easy to communicate, cooperate, and collaborate with others online, and as such offer new frameworks for making creative work. Facebook claims that it helps members connect and share, but what if the people you want to connect and share with are your artistic collaborators? Can Facebook be used creatively, as a collaborative artistic environment? This article draws on a practical research project ‘Feedback’, carried out by the author in early 2010, exploring new methodologies for collaborative creation supported by online social media. The project focused on the creative use of Facebook as a tool for creative collaboration, establishing a possible working model of artistic collaboration using Facebook.

This article seeks to discuss the point of intersection between globalization and localization. The study is aimed at discussing the effects of globalization on the lives and the characters exposed in Daya Pawar’s powerful book Baluta (translated in English under the same title in 2015 by Jerry Pinto). The characters, who are otherwise well rooted in the traditions practised in their localities, are forced to adapt to the strong waves of change occasioned by modernity. Globalization has occasioned migrants to settle in the localities of Kawakhana and the neighbouring regions. Consequently, popular social joints have sprung up in these localities, prompting the lives of characters to change drastically. Social vices such as betting, alcoholism and prostitution have risen drastically with the increase in clubs, betting dens and brothels. The individual lives of the dwellers of Kawakhana have deteriorated with increased modernization and urbanization. On the brighter side, modern schools have become more popular, with the parents seeing the need of taking their children to school. This element of social change has resulted to the emancipation of the people in the lower castes—the Mahar. Through education, the children of the Mahar have gained economic empowerment, enabling them to break the yoke of tradition that has relegated them to the inferior social position. It is in light of these drastic social changes that this article seeks to explore the aesthetic manifestation of globality, reflexivity and social change.
