Konstruksi Media terhadap Pemberitaan Kasus Perempuan Koruptor

Media bukanlah saluran yang bebas, karena tidak memberitakan apa adanya seperti yang sering digambarkan. Media justru mengkonstruksi realitas sedemikian rupa sehingga tidak jarang keluar dari konteksnya. Tidak mengherankan jika setiap hari secara terus-menerus dapat disaksikan bagaimana peristiwa yang sama diperlakukan secara berbeda oleh media. Salah satu pemberitaan media yang sangat sering muncul adalah persoalan korupsi yang melibatkan perempuan. Pemberitaan perempuan pelaku korupsi sangat sarat dengan kepentingan di luar substansi korupsi itu sendiri. Pemberitaan mengenai kasus korupsi yang melibatkan Gayus Tambunan dan Anggelina Sondakh misalnya, sangat berbeda penyajiannya. Gayus Tambunan selalu diposisikan sebagai orang yang cerdas, bisa menghadapi kasusnya, tegar, dan tidak disangkut-pautkan dengan persoalan domestiknya. Sementara pemberitaan Anggelina Sondakh selalu saja dikaitkan dengan kehidupan pribadinya

A systematic review on bio-sequestration of carbon dioxide in bio-concrete systems: a future direction

The paper reviewed the current perspectives on the development of carbon diox�ide (CO2) sequestration through its process conversion into calcite. The process occurs in either geological or biological systems. However, geological sequestration is an expensive process, which is slow in comparison to bio-sequestration. Recently, the bio-sequestration of atmospheric CO2 into the soil using microorgan�isms such as algae has been investigated. However, the algae cannot be used in the bio-concrete due to their nature as phototrophic organisms. In contrast, bac�teria are the most potent organisms in bio-concrete technology. The use of bacter�ial species in the bio-aerated concrete bricks (B-ACB) and its potential to bio�sequestrate CO2 represents a future strategy to reduce high CO2 pollution. Bacterial cells can capture CO2 by accelerating the carbonation processes, which convert CO2 into calcium carbonate (CaCO3) via carbon anhydrase and urease enzymes. The present paper aimed to highlight and discuss the applicability of bacteria in the B-ACB for capturing and storing CO2. It is evident from the literature that the new trends to use bio-concrete might contribute to the reduction of CO2 by accelerating the carbonation process and strengthening the B-ACB

Misrepresentation of Science and Expertise: Reflecting on Half a Century of Indonesian Anthropology

Indonesian anthropology was founded in 1957 and developed since then in various universities. After more than fifty years of inhabiting these lecture halls, anthropology’s orientation as a science has transformed from a discipline that bestows on graduates the ability to think into one in which graduates are prepared for a career of conductingfield research ordered by others. This article reflects on the shifts that have occurred in anthropology, focusing on three of the field’s central figures in Indonesia: Koentjaraningrat, Masri Singarimbun, and Parsudi Suparlan. During the lives of these three pioneers, anthropology playeda central role in critically evaluating humanitarian projects, and as such anthropologists frequently served to protect the weak and marginal. Anthropologists were on the frontlines of every discussion regarding the future of the nation, enabling anthropological perspectives to be accommodated in policy. Today, anthropologists seem locked into their own academic spaces. The results of anthropological field research are often said to provide unique and interesting—but irrelevant—stories. This article recommends a fundamental transformation in the curriculum, allowing the politics of science to be reconsidered and reformulated to ensure anthropology maintains a central role in resolving future humanitarian problems

Media and ethnic conflict in west Borneo A Case Study of the Conflict between the Madurese

Bagaimana media itu menyajikan berita ten tang konflik, dapat tergambar dalam tesis Mi. Sumber utama diambil dari Akeaya Pontianak Post dan Kompas. Data dikumpulkan secara kualitatif dan dianalisis melalui kajian literatur. Dalam tesis ini, ditemukan fenomena penting mengenai isu konflik dan persepsi orang terhadap konflik, misalnya masalah yang dim uat dalam media, situasi dan usaha-usaha penyelesaian konflik, empat faktor yang menyebabkan konflik. Perangkat analisis dan pendekatan yang digunakan adalah teori discourse. Secara serius, tesis ini menggambarkan dan menjelaskan fenomena mengenai konflik antara etnis Dayak dan etnis Madura di Kalimantan Barat pada tahun 1997 seperti yang disajikan dalam media.

ORGANISASI RUANG, WAKTU, DAN SELERA DALAM KONSUMSI TELEVISI

Watching television is an active social process. It is not a category of activity with a single dimension too. Both characteristics are evident in the practices of television consumption itself. This research attempts to study various practices of television consumption in the context of everyday life. As a part of daily routines that almost inseparable from it, the activity of watching television certainly bring along many aspects which are taken for granted. This study, therefore, wants to fill the lack of understanding about these aspects which are actually conventional and context specific.Starting from the assumption that television tends to be treated as a domestic medium with its audience which is constituted as the family, this research tries to investigate some cases on the activities of family\u27s television viewing. The process of data collection is principally done by participant observation and alternately by free and casual interview. To recognize thoroughly that the researcher himself is a part of the social world he studies, the process of writing this ethnography is done reflexively as much as possible.This study indicates that the so-called domestic room, with the presence of a television set in it, had been reorganized as the center of consumption. In this domestic room television is then embedded as a coherent part of daily routines. Television is also used practically to create various social arrangements such as enhancing and disrupting interpersonal communication, expressing feelings and affections, or controlling and disciplining the other. Yet, related to the problem of taste, if preference for certain program types emerges, the process of television consumption is not necessarily passed off smoothly. In this point, the practices of television consumption are at once the practices of managing power, especially conflicts around taste distinction. Key words: television - consumption - practice - tast
