The research objective is to examine the development of a curriculum based on spirituality education in Indonesian local wisdom, descriptive qualitative methods with literature review, and analysis techniques using the triangulation of miles and huberman. Result shows the development of a curriculum based on spiritual education in local wisdom is only a fraction of the values and content of various knowledge about local wisdom of the Indonesian nation in general and the Javanese society in particular. Even then, we still need to discuss scientifically and thoroughly related to local wisdom. And it will be more interesting, if it is examined from a specific scientific perspective, for example looking at local wisdom from the side of law, da'wah or communication, anthropology and sociology, mass psychology, even national economy and politics. Therefore, local wisdom as the culture of the local community is a big investment for the development of Islam in Indonesia. An investment that must be nurtured and sown in our education, so that the presence of Islam in the midst of the old and new culture is always shady and calm in Indonesian soil.

This essay examines the media frenzy around the 'love-life' of Chilean football star Alexís Sánchez, particularly the 2017 announcement of his romantic involvement with actress Mayte Rodríguez. It discusses the media coverage as a poignant example of misogyny and homophobia in Chilean football culture, as well as one of the forces that perpetuates that culture. During the years of the 2018 World Cup qualifying process, Chile accrued the most severe fines of any country for homophobic behaviour at football matches. This fact has attracted some, but not much, attention. There are few spaces of such extreme gender segregation as football. Once football's capacity to develop proper masculinity and heterosexuality was widely accepted, football directors, journalists and fans pushed women outside of the sport. The relationship between homophobia and sexism has a long history in the construction of football fandom, play and organization. Media played a crucial role in reinforcing the heteronormative and misogynist aspects of the sport. This essay discusses how these long-standing prejudices have hurt women journalists, fans and athletes. Please note that this essay was previously published in Spanish in De Cabeza.

STEP Category: Education Abroad ; My STEP signature project was a month-long education abroad program centered in Budapest. During the time in Budapest, we learned the culture and history of central Europe at Metropolitan University. Also, we explored other cities like Austria, Vienna, Warsaw and local museums for physically experiencing how everyday life has changed over time and how those changes have affected the culture of the region. In addition to theoretical stuff, our instructor led us to visit a variety of museums and many amazing historic sites including Parliament Building, picturesque Szentendre and Habsburg crypts. Interactions with local people and professors at Metropolitan University provided me with various angles on an international issue. Other than landmarks, we tasted the delicious and authentic food and drinks. At the end of this program, students teamed up to create a video with Adobe Premier. We discussed the topic, interviewed and edited footages while the final video was projected on the screen before the day we left Budapest. ; The Ohio State University Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) ; Academic Major: Journalism

National audience ; Le terme de médiation, employé au singulier, renvoie implicitement à l'illusion d'une catégorie homogène, aussi bien dans le monde professionnel que dans celui de la recherche. Or, il n'en est rien, comme l'indique notamment l'étude de Nicolas Aubouin, Frédéric Kletz et Olivier Lenay, Entre continent et archipel. Les configurations professionnelles de la médiation culturelle, publiée par le ministère de la Culture (DEPS) en 2009. Cette étude indique que la médiation s'est aujourd'hui largement diffusée et peut même être considérée comme banalisée dans le secteur culturel, mais sur la base de métiers mal définis et dans des configurations professionnelles éclatées. Il en est de même du côté de la recherche, notamment française : aucune définition véritablement partagée n'a émergé du travail théorique mené depuis les années 1990 notamment en information-communication, sociologie de l'art et de la culture, esthétique et sciences politiques. En revanche, autour de la médiation culturelle, s'est construit un champ de recherche remarquablement fécond où se croisent ces disciplines qui ont toutes pour objet la circulation, la transmission et l'appropriation des contenus et des représentations.

Abstract As in most countries, Norwegian and Danish media houses struggle to adjust to new technological, economic and political realities. Photo departments have seen their budgets cut and people have been let go. It looks, however, as if the organisational response to the crisis is more nuanced than it may seem at first glance. We have examined three media organisations, with a reputation for an above average interest in photojournalism, through the filter of organisational psychology. By looking at the conjunction between organisational culture, the present climate, and what we may call visual editorial competence, which relates to a photo department's relative power within the organisation, we try to shed some light on when and why photo departments are able to implement their own crisis management and thus influence their own situation. Our findings suggest that photo departments with a strong culture are more resilient to a climate marked by disruptive change. The overall visual editorial competence does, however, impact their manoeuvring space within the organisation.

Der Band Library Life: Werkstätten kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschens eröffnet Einblicke in Entstehungsorte und -praktiken kulturwissenschaftlichen Wissens. Diese am GCSC und aus der Forschungsgruppe "Research Area 8" (Cultures of Knowledge, Research, and Education) entstandene Publikation ist eine interdisziplinäre und kollaborativ erarbeitete Studie von acht AutorInnen, die Geistes- und KulturwissenschaftlerInnen in ihren persönlichen Schreibräumen besucht und mit einem breiten Fragenpanorama zu individuellen, technisch-materiellen, praktischen, medialen, sozialen, institutionellen, ökonomischen, politischen und ideellen Hintergründe befragt haben. Ihre Ergebnisse stellen sie in themenspezifischen Einzelkapiteln vor. Damit leistet dieser Band einen wichtigen Beitrag zu bislang kaum erforschten Strategien und Praktiken in der kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschung. ; The volume Library Life: Werkstätten kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschens provides an insight into the practices of these places and the production of cultural knowledge. The interdisciplinary and collaborative study from eight authors is the product of work by Research Area 8 (Cultures of Knowledge, Research, and Education) at the GCSC. The authors visited scholars from the humanities and cultural studies with a broad questionnaire plumbing their individual, material, practical, medial, social, institutional, economic, political, and ideational backgrounds at their personal workspaces. The results of this survey are presented in single, issue-specific chapters. This publication delivers an important contribution to the as yet scantily researched strategies and practices in the field of cultural studies.

Abstract. The paper employs different definitions of inequality/ equality and investigates how globalisation is associated with these welfare measures. The nations' proximity to post modernism development culture through international cooperation may enable countries to strengthen their social, economic, legal and political institutions. We find that adopting well developed institutional governance practices as matter of greater integration with modern 21st century governance culture creates thriving middle classes in developing countries enabling a downward pressure on inequality of incomes and wages. In contrast, integration of goods and services with world markets puts upward pressure on the wages of skilled in contrast with the unskilled causing industrial wage inequalities in both developed and developing countries. The paper recommends in line with the recent literature on pre mature de industrialisation phenomenon that countries may protect their local industries to provide jobs to locals and thus enable the gains of trade to be more equally distributed among the populations. This can be done by choosing the second best option towards global integration and that is to promote regionalism within geographical clusters.Keywords.

Abstract
This article pays attention to African-American artist Beyonce Knowles and her performance of black camp. Beyonce's stage persona and performances invite multiple ideological readings as to what pertains to her interpretation of gender, sexuality, and race. While cultural theory around the icon of Beyonce has focused on her feminist and racial politics as well as her politicization of the black female body, a queer reading applied from the perspective of camp performance will concentrate on the artist's queer appeal and, most importantly, on her exposition of black camp, an intersection of feminist, racial and queer poetics. By examining video and live performances, the scope of this article is to underline those queer nuances inherent in Beyonce's dramatisation of black femininity and the cultural pool she draws from for its effective staging. More specifically, since Beyonce plays with tropes and themes that are common in camp culture, her performance relies on a meta-camping effect that interacts with African-American queer culture. This article, thus, traces black queer traditions and discourses in the artist's praxis of black camp.

Abstract My objective is to discuss the persistence of the notion of natural selection in the biological sciences, exploring the fact that: (1) this notion, just like the term culture in anthropology, is historically an inaugural concept in its particular scientific field, and, insofar as both possess a value of heuristic delimitation, both thus came to be considered as explanatory concepts, although today they may be more widely accepted as descriptive in kind; (2) this persistence seems to be equally linked to the fact that the term combines randomness and teleology, but without foregrounding the inherent contradiction; (3) the anthropomorphic metaphors generally used in the description of biological processes, by attributing intentionality to beings lacking in self-determination, presume the existence of a nature defined by processes oriented towards precise ends, endorsing the finalism that, I believe, underlies the idea of natural selection; (4) and, finally, I think that 'culture' and 'natural selection' correspond to disciplinary labels - for social anthropology and biology respectively - that arose in Victorian Britain, as defined by the Great Divide, but they no longer have explanatory power.

The essay explores issues pertaining to genetics vs. culture in understandings of kinship, hybridity as a disruptor of essentialist conceptions of race, the fetishization of ethnicity and culture, racist misuses of genetic science, processes of racialization, and counter-hegemonic resistance. Thirty- and sixty-second television advertisements airing in the U.S. from the 23andMe and AncestryDNA genetic genealogy testing services are analyzed in this context. The investigation demonstrates that genetic ancestry testing providers are well aware that their enterprise is premised on belief in the superiority of biological kinship and that hybridity is mobilized primarily as a marketing opportunity with ethnic components signified in shorthand by fetishized objects. Moreover, the categories of race and ethnicity presented in the ads give cover to racist abusers of genetic science, as the ads are consistent with socially constructed racial classifications. While maintaining this consistency, the categories are subject to adjustment based on the expectations of consumers. Resistance is possible in the use of genetic ancestry by descendants of African slaves to make localized connections to Africa, something that conventional genealogy seldom provides.

While technological innovation is a core element of efforts to increase public welfare, innovators are rarely trained to take the societal dimensions of innovation into account in a systematic manner. Responsible innovation has emerged within policy discourses worldwide to address this challenge. Implementing responsible innovation in daily practices, however, requires addressing both the multidisciplinary and the culturally situated nature of innovation processes. Effectiveness of Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) has been tested, but primarily only in developed countries, raising questions about how well it works in innovation and cultural settings differing from Western cultures. Therefore, this study analyzes the possibities of institutionalizing responsible innovation in an Eastern European country, namely in Hungary. For this investigation, we conducted STIR-pilots in two Hungarian natural science research groups. The findings show that though the original STIR method can be adapted to support responsible innovation practices in Hungary, the differences in the innovation environment and culture (such as grant-driven innovation; lack of trust; less knowledge on responsible innovation; lack of law on the societical impacts of research and innovaton) require methodological modifications in order to improve STIR's effectiveness.

Using visual and ethnographic methods the author forms a connection between materiality and the memories of childhood. The researcher begins by asking the question, "Can a studio environment create encounters between a researcher and preschool children that deepen understanding of culture?" To this end, the researcher engaged in sensory research practices through ethnographic methods in a preschool art studio. Through free choice art making, children were found expressing their emotions and demonstrating an awareness of adult culture. In particular, the researcher's encounter with four-year old George was enriched through sensory participation and triggered embodied and empathetic knowing. As it happens, conducting this research through the shared sensory attributes of art materials, the researcher was sent reeling. The encounter with memories of her childhood were unforeseen and disturbing. Art materials, it appears, can reveal cultural knowledge and can also serve as emotional bookmarks of time. Materials can juxtapose the past with the present, linking then with now. Feeling is embedded in the artifact and can release provocative memories. Materials from childhood create the self for what it is.

This study examines the role cultural capital plays in students' culinary training. I argue students' class-dependent cultural capital influenced how they experienced culinary school. I examine how the organization and the standards of culinary school—which draw on aspects of high culture—create barriers for some students. I discuss how students with omnivorous tastes are better equipped to navigate the cultural capital dominant in culinary schools. Prior understanding of omnivorous tastes helps students, as they learn about the culinary field, but given the unequal distribution of the students' economic capital, not all of the students had equal access to developing such wide range of tastes. This study spans 15 months of ethnographic observations at a culinary arts school in an urban Midwestern city, where I observed students' interactions in kitchen classrooms and culinary competitions. In-depth interviews were conducted with 50 students and 10 chef instructors. The findings indicate that some students' class backgrounds limit their opportunities for informal learning and socialization. I found that socioeconomic status, race, and geographical region influenced the students' cultural capital and their ability to participate in kitchen culture.
