AbstractThe Tanah Karo's natural lanscape has been known such a fertile area with a climate that is perfect for agricultural activities. The ancient Karo people used to live the old way known as the megalith culture or tradition that is always related to ancestral and animism beliefs. When Islam and Christianity started to influx and flourish, the old beiefs gradually vanished. The material culture heritage, however, shows varous influences from the past. The old well-rooted concept and element that used to live in the society has left such a strong legacy to some aspects of the culture material and tradition in the present day, especially the buiding or the symbolic ornament and the traditional building element. The agricultural life in the past can be traced back through the symbols available, which then will become proposed questions in search for answers. This paper appliesmexplorative-descriptive method with inductive reasoning. The ornaments, building materials and elements available are proofs of agricultural activities in the forms of farming. The fertile soil and conducive climate provide a perfect back up to the farming. The traditional buildings for the ancestors' skulls at Tanah Karo settlements are the perfect examples of the ancient megalith.AbstrakAlam lingkungan Tanah Karo sejak dahulu memang merupakan area yang subur dengan iklim yang menunjang kegiatan pertanian. Masyarakat Karo dahulu masih menganut kepercayaan lama yang dikenal di Nusantara sebagai budaya atau tradisi megalitik yang sering dikaitkan dengan kepercayaan yang berkaitan dengan leluhur dan animisme. Seiring dengan masuknya agama Islam dan Kristen, kepercayaan ini berangsur hilang. Namun melalui budaya material yang ditinggalkan masih menunjukkan adanya pengaruh kepercayaan lama. Konsep maupun unsur budaya yang pernah ada dan mengakar pada masyarakatnya, menyebabkan sebagian bentuk budaya material maupun tradisinya masih menampakkan hubungan dengan budaya masa lalunya. Terutama berkaitan dengan bangunan atau simbol-simbol yang tercermin dalam ornamen dan elemen bangunan adatnya. Bagaimana kondisi pertanian masa lalu dilacak melalui simbol-simbol yang ada menjadi permasalahan yang ingin diungkapkan kejelasannya. Penulisan menggunakan metode eksploratif-deskriptif menggunakan alur penalaran induktif. Melalui berbagai ornamen, bahan bangunan serta elemen bangunannya menjadi petunjuk adanya kegiatan pertanian berupa persawahan dan perladangan. Hal ini didukung oleh tanah yang subur serta iklim yang menunjang kegiatan itu. Perkampungan di Tanah Karo juga masih menggambarkan adanya tradisi megalitik di masa lalu, dengan keberadaan bangunan adat sebagai tempat menyimpan tengkorak dan tulang belulang leluhur /geriten.

The presence of golden artifacts in the past is known presently from the Dutch old record in North Sumatra. At that time, the Bataknese lived an old belief of the ancestor spirits or called the megalithic tradition. The development of gold craftsmanship is seen through the golden artifacts with the typical Batak patterns influenced by the old faith as well as external decorative patterns. The proposed question is how the golden artifacts were integrated into the Bataknese culture. The study aims at collecting more knowledge of the importance of golden artifacts in Bataknese life as well as the cultural aspects reflected on those artifacts. Explorative-descriptive writing method with inductive reasoning is used to get an answer to the problem being proposed. Inductive reasoning begins at the study of data that can give a general conclusion or empirical generalization after data analysis stage process. Golden artifacts are just like pieces of art that bear a unique function in the society as well as describing such social, cultural, and religious aspects of the Bataknese in the ancient North Sumatra.AbstrakArtefak emas cukup beragam jenis dan pola hiasnya, di antaranya digunakan sebagai perhiasan. Tentang artefak emas di masa lalu diketahui melalui catatan lama ketika Belanda masuk ke wilayah Sumatera Utara. Pada masa itu etnis Batak pada umumnya masih hidup dalam kepercayaan lama yang berkaitan dengan roh nenek moyang atau dikenal dengan tradisi megalitik. Perkembangan seni kriya emas terlihat melalui artefak emas dengan pola hias khas Batak yang mendapat pengaruh religi lama, dan pola hias yang mendapat pengaruh dari luar. Permasalahannya adalah bagaimana artefak emas menjadi bagian dalam budaya masyarakat Batak ? Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menambah pengetahuan mengenai pentingnya artefak emas dalam kehidupan masyarakat Batak serta aspek-aspek kebudayaan yang tercermin melalui artefak tersebut. Untuk dapat menjawab permasalahan yang diajukan, maka metode penulisan bertipe eksploratif- deskriptif menggunakan alur penalaran induktif. Penalaran induktif berawal dari kajian terhadap data yang dapat memberikan suatu kesimpulan yang bersifat umum atau generalisasi empiris setelah melalui proses tahap analisis data. Seperti hasil karya seni lain, artefak emas mempunyai fungsi dalam kehidupan masyarakat serta menggambarkan aspek sosial, budaya, dan religi masyarakat Batak di Sumatera Utara di masa lalu.

This volume charts the development of contrastive rhetoric (CR) over the past 30 years. Although CR has not attempted to identify developmental stages of L2 writers, it is essentially the study of transfer: the influence of L1 writing conventions and cultural and cognitive dimensions on L2 writing. Major strengths of this book are its critical review of the literature, concise definitions, and documentation of the progression of CR from narrow L2 text-based analyses to the inclusion of multiple approaches.

ABSTRAK. Peninggalan dari sebuah peradaban dapat dilihat dari karya yang ditinggalkan. Arsitektur merupakan salah satu wujud karya yang dapat digunakan untuk melihat dan menelusuri peninggalan dari sebuah peradaban. Peninggalan peradaban di satu wilayah dengan wilayah lain akan dipengaruhi oleh kondisi lingkungan setempat. Hal inilah latar belakang pentingnya dilakukan penelitian berkaitan dengan vernakularitas arsitektur. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi, mendeskripsikan dan memahami vernakularitas peninggalan peradaban Islam. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pengambilan data dilakukan secara purposif sampling. Alat analisis pada penelitian ini adalah aspek vernakularitas yang dikemukakan oleh Mentayani (2017). Aspek vernakularitas dapat dilihat dari 3 hal yaitu aspek teknis, aspek budaya, dan aspek lingkungan yang ketiganya bisa dibahas secara bersamaan karena saling terkait pada ranah unsur dan abstrak. Kesimpulan yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah : (1) vernakularitas pada arsitektur peradaban Islam dapat dilihat pada bentuk massa dan denah bangunan, yang tidak selalu mengikuti bentuk awal (tipologi) peninggalan peradaban Islam yaitu hypostyle; (2) vernakularitas ditunjukkan pada penggunaan material setempat dengan teknologi setempat, misalnya di Afrika Barat menggunakan bata tanah liat yang dikeringkan tanpa dibakar dan penguat dinding dari batang kayu. Kata kunci: vernakularitas, arsitektur, peninggalan peradaban Islam ABSTRACT. The legacy of a civilization can be seen from the work left behind. Architecture is a form of work that can be used to view and trace the relics of a civilization. The legacy of civilization from one region to another will be influenced by local environmental conditions. This is the background of the importance of conducting research related to architectural vernacularity. This research is a research that aims to identify, describe and understand the vernacularity of Islamic civilization heritage. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with data collection carried out by purposive sampling. The analytical tool in this study is the aspect of vernacularity proposed by Mentayani (2017). Aspects of vernacularity can be seen from 3 things, namely technical aspects, cultural aspects, and environmental aspects, all three of which can be discussed simultaneously because they are interrelated in the elemental and abstract realms. The conclusions obtained from this study are: (1) vernacularity in Islamic civilization architecture can be seen in the shape of the mass and building plans, which do not always follow the initial form (typology) of Islamic civilization heritage, namely hypostyle; (2) vernacularity is shown in the use of local materials with local technology, for example in West Africa using clay bricks that are dried without being burned and wall reinforcement from logs. Keywords: vernacularity, architecture, heritage of Islamic civilization

The design of socialist Yugoslavia received a particularly new look through the creation of Aleksandar Joksimović, which gave the new elements a traditional look, equally putting them in rank with world-famous designs of celebrated designers. This paper was created with the idea of emphasizing the importance of the creativity of Joksimović, which is within the framework of socialist norms, as an artist, remained insufficiently recognized, although his work was in the service of exclusive promotion of the cultural aspects of his country. His concept of design based on the medieval cultural tradition emerged from the framework of the then socialist clothes, and it is called grandiose exoticism. The names of the first collections given by the historical figures of medieval Serbian history are a clear indication that it is possible to draw inspiration from the past, if it is professionally approached and adequately, by contemporary trends, the audience and the market. Joksimovic's individualism, apart from design, was also reflected in the way the collection itself was modeled through models and choreographies, and clearly once again showed his step ahead of time, while the social and political circumstances forced him to stay one step behind.
