    Get PDF
    It had been more than two decades passing by aftermath the devastating Asia’s Financial Crisis in 1997, subsequently followed by Suharto’s step down from his presidential throne which he occupied for more than three decades. The financial turmoil turned to a political disaster furthermore has led to massive looting that severely impacted Indonesians of Chinese descendant, including unresolved mystery of the most atrocious sexual violation against women and covert killings of students and democracy activists in this country. Since then, precisely aftermath May 1998, which publicly known as “Reformasi”1, Indonesia underwent political reform that eventually corresponded positively to its macroeconomic growth. Twenty years later, in 2018, Indonesia captured worldwide attention because it has successfully hosted two internationally renowned events, namely the Asian Games 2018 – the most prestigious sport events in Asia – conducted in Jakarta and Palembang; and the IMF/World Bank Annual Meeting 2018 in Bali. Particularly in the IMF/World Bank Annual Meeting, this event has significantly elevated Indonesia’s credibility and international prestige in the global economic powerplay as one of the nations with promising growth and openness. However, the narrative about poverty and inequality, including increasing racial tension, religious conservatism, and sexual violation against women are superseded by friendly climate for foreign investment and eventually excessive glorification of the nation’s economic growth. By portraying the image of promising new economic power, as rhetorically promised by President Joko Widodo during his presidential terms, Indonesia has swept the growing inequality in this highly stratified society that historically compounded with religious and racial tension under the carpet of digital economy.Arte y Humanidade

    Vocal action: from training towards performance

    Get PDF
    This thesis describes and analyzes a practice as research study (2008 - 2011) which comprised performances, ongoing workshops and a symposium. Its focus is the (re)examination of voice training for the contemporary performer exploring what existing methods are sti11 relevant, what gaps exist in current training, and how these might be bridged. The methodology is that of a feedback loop in which theoretical research informs practical explorations (conducted by the researcher on herself) which inform practical applications (in which the research is applied with other performers in a pedagogical context). The inquiry is divided into two main topics: training for Vocal Presence and for Vocal Composition. In the first, the theoretical base is that of Konstantin Stanislavski's method of physical actions and its interpretations by Jerzy Grotowski and Ingemar Lindh, with a further link made to the work of positive psychologist Mihaly Czilcszentmihalyi. In the second, the starting points are the work of John Britton and Anne Bogart's Viewpoints. Within both areas, these theories and their related practices are explored through the creation of two perfonnance pieces: lhe sound of m/y/our name ... and One By One and then applied in the creation of a method of vocal (re)actions. This work was presented through a practice as research symposium and is documented on DVD and in an interactive website. This thesis argues for the importance of mapping the connections between different aesthetic and cultural methods for voice training. For the performer, it proposes a non-aesthetic-specific practical method and terminology, which can be used to work both within and across different vocal techniques as well as between body and voice. It thus aims to broaden the repertoire of approaches to voice work for vocal training and for devising performance

    Cruelty to animals in the East Asian context : Andrew Linzey’s animal theology in conversation with eco-theology

    Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2022.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Christian theology. This is the ultimate contribution of this study – an engagement with animal theology and resources from eco-theology that can enrich theological and ethical reflection among Christians in the East Asian context. The outcome of the study offers a reinterpretation of our understanding of God, humanity, and animals within the context of East Asia. These theological and ethical resources enable us to move away from characteristically anthropocentric East Asian theologies while promoting an organic and eco-centric understanding of the relationships between God, humans, and non-human animals. This is the first study of its kind in the East Asian context. The contribution falls within the realm of ecotheology and animal theology. The outcomes of the research stress that animals are God’s creatures; that animals are not merely a means towards human ends; that animals are objects of God’s love and concern; that animals are endowed with inherent value by God; that animals are our fellow creatures and companions on earth; and that we must coexist in just and ethical ways in order to honour God and one another. The outcomes of the study can lay a foundation that offers contextual resources to encourage Christians and churches in East Asia in their struggle for holistic liberation. The conclusions of the study can help in further addressing this shameful form of human cruelty against animals (our fellow creatures), and aid in the establishment of greater animal rights and ecological harmony.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dieremishandeling is 'n ernstige sosiale, etiese, ekologiese en teologiese probleem in Oos-Asie. Dwarsdeur die wereld ly diere aan menslike uitbuiting, insluitend intensiewe industriele boerdery, eksperimentering, vermaak vir mense en die finansiele handel van wild. In Oos-Asie ly diere aansienlik weens apatie, onoordeelkundige verbruik van diere en verskeie vorme van uitbuiting wat eie is aan die kulturele en sosiale konteks. Boonop lei die koste van die onoordeelkundige uitbuiting van diere tot die verspreiding van aansteeklike siektes (soos Covid-19 wat vermoedelik afkomstig is van 'n lewendehawemark in Wuhan, China). Boonop dra die uitbuiting van diere by tot klimaatsverandering, en word die ekologiese krisis verder verdiep. Dit wek natuurlik groot morele kommer oor die welstand van diere in die streek. Filosowe, wetenskaplikes, bioloe en diere-aktiviste van 'n wye reeks dissiplines het probeer om die probleem van wreedheid teenoor diere regoor die wereld aan te spreek. Soos hierdie navorsing toon, was hul pogings egter nog nie so suksesvol in Oos-Asie nie. Hierdie navorsing toon veral dat daar 'n gaping in kennis is wanneer dit kom by Oos-Asiatiese Christelike teologie en teologiese etiek wat wreedheid teenoor diere aanspreek. In hierdie proefskrif word aangevoer dat bestaande Christelike teologie as katalisator vir die uitbuiting van, en geweld teen, diere gedien het. Daarom het hierdie navorsing ten doel om ons siening van diere te hersien deur 'n teologiese en etiese herinterpretasie van ons gedeelde plek en rolle in die skepping te bied. Om hierdie rede poog hierdie proefskrif om die implikasies van wreedheid teenoor diere in Oos- Asie aan te spreek deur twee primere gespreksgenote te betrek. Hulle is historiese en kontemporere ekoteologiee en Andrew Linzey se diereteologie. Eerstens fokus ons op Linzey se diereteologie. Hy is 'n belangrike baanbreker in hierdie debat. Sy bydrae het gevorm hoe Christene regoor die wereld hul teologiese oortuigings, en etiese betrokkenheid, met betrekking tot diere herwaardeer. Sy werk is egter nog nie in verband gebring met die Oos-Asiatiese Christelike konteks nie. Tweedens maak ons gebruik van geselekteerde hulpbronne uit die veld van ekoteologie. Hierdie veld van teologiese refleksie help ons om 'n begrip van die teologiese belangrikheid van die hele skepping te ontwikkel. Derdens, alhoewel teologiee uit hierdie velde (diereteologiee en ekologiese teologiee) nie altyd ooreenstem met betrekking tot hul benadering tot dierekwessies nie, bied dit aan ons 'n ryk stel teologiese hulpbronne om die probleem van wreedheid teen diere in Oos-Asiatiese Christelike teologie aan te spreek. Dit is die uiteindelike bydrae van hierdie studie – 'n gesprekvoering met diereteologie en hulpbronne uit ekoteologie wat teologiese en etiese refleksie onder Christene in die Oos-Asiatiese konteks kan verryk. Die uitkoms van die studie bied 'n herinterpretasie van ons begrip van God, die mensdom en diere binne die konteks van Oos-Asie. Hierdie teologiese en etiese hulpbronne stel ons in staat om weg te beweeg van kenmerkende antroposentriese Oos-Asiatiese teologiee terwyl ons 'n organiese en ekosentriese begrip van die verhoudings tussen God, mense en nie-menslike diere bevorder. Dit is die eerste studie van sy soort in die Oos-Asiatiese konteks. Die bydrae val binne die gebied van ekoteologie en diereteologie. Die uitkomste van die navorsing beklemtoon dat diere God se skepsels is; dat diere nie bloot middele vir menslike doeleindes is nie; dat diere voorwerpe van God se liefde en besorgdheid is; dat diere deur God met inherente waarde toegerus is; dat diere ons medeskepsele en metgeselle op aarde is; en dat ons op regverdige en etiese maniere saam moet bestaan om God en mekaar te eer. Die uitkomste van die studie kan 'n grondslag le wat kontekstuele hulpbronne bied om Christene en kerke in Oos-Asie aan te moedig in hul stryd vir holistiese bevryding. Die gevolgtrekkings van die studie kan help om hierdie skandelike vorm van menslike wreedheid teen diere (ons medewesens) verder aan te spreek en help met die vestiging van groter diereregte en ekologiese harmonie.Doctora
