Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, melalui analisis epistemologi dan sosiologi pengetahuan, penelitian berkesimpulan: Pertama, formasi epistemologi yang dikembangkan para penghayat kepercayaan lokal menujukkan model persinggungan epistemologis yang menunjukkan kemapanan dalam tiap-tiap lingkaran epistemologis. Kedua, konstruksi realitas sosial yang mengelilingi individu maupun komunitas masyarakat Lombok bergerak dalam lingkaran sosial yang dinamis dimana warisan kepercayaan lokal, kemapanan intelektual, kepekaan sosial telah memberikan warna pada bangunan sosial mereka saat ini.

Expression of Socio-Political Zeitgeist in Tsarist Central Asia Printing

Orientalist approach to Central Asia especially Bukhara in our historical references present a romantic picture. This paper takes publications and printing as the indicator of intellectual maturity of the population and progressive zeitgeist in socio-political life. Analysis of historical events and facts reveal very little appetite of reading, almost universal ignorance and scarcity of written/printed books. The transformation of Central Asia took place after introduction of presses during the Tsarist control. With the arrival of printing, not only literacy increased but also the scope, number and range of topics expanded. As a result of printing/publication, the Jadidist ideology emerged and opposed the Qadimist status quo. Ultimately the Jadids prevailed. Therefore, the paper establishes that socio-political awakening and increase in printing/publication are linked. The paper recommends revisiting errors in the representation of Central Asia in our accounts of history

The Gerontological Imagination at Work in Scientific Communities

Specified in six axioms, the gerontological imagination enables scholars from a variety of fields to comprehend core concepts and ideas in the study of aging. This chapter highlights the interrelatedness of the axioms and outlines ways to apply this interdisciplinary paradigm in research on aging. A paradigm for the study of any subject matter is a sign of intellectual maturity, but the scientific community of those who study aging remains a loosely connected network, largely embedded in disciplines. A coherent paradigm for gerontology will aid research on aging in those disciplines and accelerate the evolution of gerontology as a field of study.
