HAMPARAN JACQUES DERRIDA: TEORI POSTMODERNISME DALAM WACANA DALAM WACANA SENI PERTUNJUKAN

Kanizar1 Abstract: Deconstruction is a strike of postmodernism to the modern thought that is always subjectively functional, structural, and paradigmatic. Postmodernism deconstructs functional thought that maintain stability, deconstructs structuralism over the conventional meaning, and try to find a new meaning so that the postmodernism is also poststructuralist. Postmodernism deconstructs the existing paradigm questioning to the ability of conventional paradigm in solving a new problem so that the postmodernism is also called post-paradigm. Deconstruction in performing arts that becomes the label “difference” is Tabuik ceremony in Pariaman, West Sumatra. Phenomena from the perspective of postmodernism are to refuse the central authority in the meaning of cultural “label”. Cultural meaning-whatsoever form of performing arst-should not be single, but open to other meanings, so that the researcher-other people-may liberally assume the readable discourse. Meaning may exist in anything; in small thing that is less noticeable, less mentioned that might have signi ficant meaning. Thus, Postmodernism approach refuses all assumption that prevents meanings. It does not mean that postmodernism wants to be selfish, disappointed with the previous research paradigm, and or only trapped on the euphoria, but has a congent reason in producing meanings

OUTRAGEOUS VIOLATIONS: ENABLING STUDENTS TO INTERPRET NINETEENTH CENTURY NEWSPAPER REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND RAPE

This article is divided into two parts: the first highlights some of the difficulties and limitations for students and tutors who wish to explore the historiography of rape and sexual assault. In particular it addresses the problematic issue of accessing and interpreting the official records of such proceedings in the criminal courts. As an alternative it is suggested that nineteenth century newspaper reports written by professional lawyer-reporters can provide an effective substitute and can be justified as a primary research source. The second part offers a series of four case studies of sexual assaults as reported in The Times newspaper which students can easily access through the digital archive and analyse. These are presented with observations on how students might be directed to read and interpret the reports together with suggested learning points to enable them to understand how the criminal law and legal process operated in practice, and the real life implications and consequences for the parties involved

A Short Survey on Data Clustering Algorithms

With rapidly increasing data, clustering algorithms are important tools for data analytics in modern research. They have been successfully applied to a wide range of domains; for instance, bioinformatics, speech recognition, and financial analysis. Formally speaking, given a set of data instances, a clustering algorithm is expected to divide the set of data instances into the subsets which maximize the intra-subset similarity and inter-subset dissimilarity, where a similarity measure is defined beforehand. In this work, the state-of-the-arts clustering algorithms are reviewed from design concept to methodology; Different clustering paradigms are discussed. Advanced clustering algorithms are also discussed. After that, the existing clustering evaluation metrics are reviewed. A summary with future insights is provided at the end
