Bu metnin konusunu sosyolojiye ilgi duyan felsefeci Bruno Latour’un, Sosyali Yeniden Toplama: Aktör-Ağ Teorisi’ne Bir Giriş başlıklı kitabının başlığına yansıyan temel iddiasını, ana akım sosyolojinin terimleşmiş kavramları ışığında kurguladığımız kavram çerçevemiz içinden okuma çabası teşkil etmektedir. Metnin amacı iki basamaklıdır. İlki, hem Latour’un hem ana akım sosyolojinin, sosyolojinin konusuna ve temel kavramlarına yükledikleri anlamların ortak ve farklı yönlerini tespit etmektir. İkincisi, aradaki farkın sosyolojinin bir bilim dalı olarak sürdürülebilirliğine tehdit değil tersine sosyolojinin varlığını geliştirerek sürdürebilmesi için bir fırsat olduğuna işaret etmektir. İlk amaca ulaşmak için izlenen yol Latour’un kendi cümlelerinden hareketle onun socius, ortaklıklar, sosyal ve sosyoloji kelimelerine yüklediği anlamlar ile ana akım sosyolojide bu kavramlara yüklenen anlamları karşılaştırmak, böylece Latour’daki tutarsızlıklar ile ana akım sosyolojideki eksikliklere dikkat çekmektir. İkinci amaca ulaşmak için izlenen yol ise ana akım sosyolojinin kavram çerçevesini genişletebilecek kavramlara işaret etmektir. Bu makalede Latour’un amacımızla bağlantılı ifadeleri, söz konusu kitabın İngilizce baskısı ve bu baskıdan yapılan Türkçe çevirisi kullanılarak sorgulamaya tabi tutulmuştur.

Efforts towards rice self-sufficiency are crucial to reduce dependency on other countries for food, yet this poses a significant challenge. The need for land for development leads to a reduction in agricultural land. Policies to protect existing rice fields and increase rice production are highly strategic in the food system, as creating new agricultural land faces various constraints. Research findings indicate that the Regent Regulation on Spatial Planning of Banyumas District 2011-2031 is not fully capable of preventing the conversion of rice fields. This conversion of rice fields leads to a further decline in domestic rice supply, and rice self-sufficiency in Banyumas District is estimated to only last until 2029. Continuity in the implementation among key variables is the key to achieving the system's goals, namely: 1) the establishment of Regent Regulation on Agricultural Land Use Planning (LP2B), 2) the establishment of incentive schemes for land protection, 3) building a detailed spatial database of rice fields, and 4) developing irrigation water access as a variable that must be prioritized in the initial stage, followed by empowering priority farmer groups in the next stage, and increasing rice crop productivity as the subsequent resilience measure. Key actors driving the system include the Regent along with relevant agencies (Department of Agriculture and Food Security, Regional Development Planning Agency, Department of Public Works in the Irrigation Sector, Department of Housing and Settlement Areas), Regional People's Representative Assembly (DPRD), and the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN).

Sammendrag Artikkelen belyser rollen til en bedriftsleder i et selskap i Alaska. Med utgangspunkt i en kommersiell organisasjon som eies av den alaskanske urbefolkningen, argumenteres det for en generativ tilnærming til entreprenørvirksomhet som inkluderer både system- og aktørbaserte perspektiver. Ved å se på hvordan lederen forsøker å gjøre gjennomgripende forandringer i et selskap, viser artikkelen mulighetene og begrensningene i entreprenøriell virksomhet. Lederens utfordringer med den daglige driften av selskapet i det rurale Alaska må forstås på bakgrunn av de ansattes avhengighet av jakt og fiske og landets koloniale historie.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Q-DAS (Qualitative Data Analysis Software) yang menggabungkan model gabungan antara tinjauan literatur dan netnografi pada kanal YouTube “TVNU”, akun media sosial para ulama Nahdlatul Ulama, dan situs-situs web Islam moderat yang dikelola oleh tim siber dan jaringan yang berafiliasi dengan Nahdlatul Ulama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati dan menganalisis peran NU sebagai aktor utama dalam menata ulang dan menciptakan harmoni umat manusia, serta mewujudkan perdamaian dunia dengan memperkuat literasi di era digital dalam rangka memperingati 1 abad berdirinya NU. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwasannya dengan adanya sumber daya yang dimiliki oleh Nahdlatul Ulama dapat menjadi modal utama menjaga, merawat, dan mendinginkan iklim media sosial dan digital yang seringkali memanas dan berkecambuk seiring perubahan dinamika keagamaan dan politik dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. Penciptaan informasi dan narasi inklusif-moderat secara masif juga harus dilakukan oleh NU mulai dari basis struktural yakni para tokoh berpengaruh yang mempunyai basis pengikut besar di media sosialnya, hingga basis kultural yaitu masyarakat Nahdliyin di jagad digital demi terwujudnya perdamaian dunia internasional, alam semesta yang terawat rapi, dan peradaban manusia yang terbangun kembali untuk kemaslahatan manusia dan masa depan dunia di masa mendatang.

Munculnya Botoh tidak lepas dari keadaan sosial politik masyarakat desa. Botoh menjalankan peran dan melakukan strategi pemenangan Pemilihan Kepala Desa (Pilkades) dengan menggunakan ciri atau karakter lokal setempat. Aspek tersebut merupakan bagian dari indikator peran aktor politik dan strategi pemenangan dengan basis lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang memfokuskan penelitian pada peran dan strategi Botoh dalam pemenangan Pilkades. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: Pertama, peran Botoh dalam pemenangan Pilkades dilakukan secara individu dan dalam tim pemenangan. Hubungan antara calon Kepala Desa dengan Botoh berupa hubungan patron-klien, yaitu hubungan yang berlandaskan pada pertukaran sumber daya. Selain itu, Botoh berperan sebagai perantara bagi calon Kepala Desa dengan pemilih. Kedua, strategi yang dilakukan Botoh dalam pemenangan ini menggunakan strategi pemenangan berbasis karakter lokal. Strategi pemenangan berbasis karakter lokal merupakan langkah pemenangan yang dilakukan oleh calon Kepala Desa bersama Botoh dengan memanfaatkan kebiasaan atau tradisi lokal. Strategi ini dinilai efektif untuk mengambil suara masyarakat dengan menggunakan pendekatan berbasis karakter lokal setempat. Namun demikian, kasus ini menarik sebab terdapat anggota Botoh yang bukan merupakan warga asli Desa Parakan.

The paper is devoted to the presence of postmedia in contemporary theatre performances. The author uses the category of the so-called post-theatre. In the context of diagnosis of postmedial culture, he suggests looking at modern theatre plays as a synthesis of dramaturgical, corporal, affective and technological mechanisms of mediatisation. On the basis of Vernon Subutex performance, the author proves that the contemporary subject finds its fullest representation in postmedial theatre. At the same time, reviews show a low social awareness of the new cultural paradigm, which despite creating and stimulating mass behaviours on a daily basis, is not understood or appropriately named.

Teksty sceniczne i przedstawienia Iwana Wyrypajewa cechuje zrytmizowana kompozycja oraz precyzyjne opracowanie warstwy dźwiękowej. Pisząc dla sceny, balansuje na granicy przyswojenia i przekroczenia konwencjonalnych form dramatycznych; operuje sugestywnym językiem, łączącym styl potoczny z poetyckim; stosuje refreny i powtórzenia, które pogłębiają ekspresywny i metaforyczny wymiar przekazu scenicznego. Akt prezentacji słowa/tekstu, wykonywany przez aktorów niczym partytura muzyczna podczas koncertu, jest często dominantą kompozycyjną widowiska. Aktor jako staranny mówca, język jako bohater, napięcia między iluzją a realnością, scena jako miejsce nawiązania intymnej relacji z publicznością – to czynniki decydujące o estetyce teatru Wyrypajewa. Służą one do tworzenia w teatrze wiarygodnego obrazu ludzkich doświadczeń granicznych, związanych z chorobą, nałogiem czy momentem agonii.

Drama si art që daton që nga koha parahistorike u zhvillua bashkë me kulturën dhe nevojat e popullit për argëtim, ndërsa filmi si art i shek. XX. në fillet e tij konsiderohej si dramë e fotografuar. Drama dhe filmi përgjatë zhvillimit të tyre kanë pasur një marrëdhënie të ndërsjellë dhe komplekse. Filmi në fillet e tij u distancua nga letërsia, duke u mbështetur fort në mikrofizionomi dhe mikrodinamikë. Kineastët e atëhershëm kërkonin një stil të kulluar të artit filmik. Por përgjatë zhvillimit, ai mbërtheu në vete pothuajse të gjitha artet tjera, përfshirë edhe letërsinë. Me zbulimin e teknikave të reja dhe teknologjisë, arti filmik u zhvillua hovshëm, duke absorbuar kështu interesin e audiencës. Megjithatë drama ka qenë dhe vazhdon të jetë art i preferuar i shumë regjisorëve, skenaristëve dhe dramaturgëve. Jam rrekur të bëj ketë hulumtim për të gjetur nëse zhvillimi i filmit po zbeh vlerat e dramës e rrjedhimisht dhe interesimin e audiencës. Gjatë këtij studimi kam arritur në përfundim se drama dhe filmi si dy arte të ndryshme, në esencë vazhdojnë të kenë të përbashkëtat dhe të veçantat e tyre. Duke qenë se teatri kryen funksione të veçanta ia doli të ruante forcën e tij. Por sot teatrit me shumë se kurrë i duhen rregulla të reja. Duke u përkushtuar për një dramaturgji me e fuqishme, konflikte të thella, si dhe duke shfaqur problemet thelbësore të qenies njerëzore, do të jenë me afër me audiencën e cila nuk do ta braktisë asnjëherë.

This article discusses the actor, structure and action debate in digital social theory with structural determinants. Changes in the macro-micro-oriented actor, structure and action relationship in social theory debates should be expected in the digital context. The changing relationship in the digital environment is discussed in the study. Actor-action-structure relationship change is given by individual actor, organizational structure, collective formations and digital presentation / network contents. A new theoretical perspective has been created with these actors. As the social structure of actor actions changes in a way that includes media production, output, presentation and consumption forms, the new operational relationship of individuals or non-people in the digital environment is emphasized. This change occurs in the form of integration with ecological networks, merging / bridging, framing, clustering / concentration and social contagion / spread. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In my article I make an assumption that theatre was a crucial part of Lucjan Rydel artistic work. He worked in the theatre and for the theatre as a playwright, theatre critic, director, literary director, lecturer in theatre school, member of theatre committee, theatre producer and director of a city theatre. It is almost impossible to describe the whole range of Rydel’s professions. However, a deep analysis would reveal his different faces of this talented man. In this article I focus on the work of Rydel as a theatre practitioner, mainly on staging his own dramatic works. I claim that he had a deep knowledge of actors’ craft and skills, of staging methods and styles. I hope that thesis included in the article will encourage theatre historians to further research

Sammendrag I denne artikkelen undersøker jeg læringsassistenters plass i arbeidet med utdannings-kvalitet ved tre norske UH-institusjoner. Selv om nasjonale forskrifter implisitt omfatter bruken av læringsassistenter som del av kvalitetsarbeidet, viser en komparativ analyse av dokumenter knyttet til kvalitetssystemene ved disse institusjonene at læringsassistenter er utelatt fra de formelle beskrivelsene av kvalitetsarbeidet. En mulig grunn til dette kan være at institusjonene mangler en bevissthet rundt formål og fokus med kvalitetssystemene, og at kvalitetsarbeid både er rettet mot sikring og mot utvikling av utdanningskvalitet, med et fokus på både undervisning og læring. En annen grunn ligger i institusjonenes tilnærming til bruken av læringsassistenter. I artikkelen bruker jeg matrisen Aims in Quality Management utviklet av Gynnild (2014, s. 87) for å undersøke hvordan læringsassistenter kan integreres i kvalitetssystemene på en slik måte at de kan bidra til kvalitetsarbeid rettet mot utvikling av studenters læring.

Küreselleşme süreciyle beraber uluslararası sistemde siyasi, ekonomik ve toplumsal alanlarda karar alma, düzenleme ve koruma rolleri üstlenen yeni aktörler ortaya çıkmış, böylelikle 17.yüzyıldan günümüze kadar gelen ulus-devletlerin varlığı sorgulanmaya başlanmıştır. Meşruiyetini uluslardan alan ve egemenlik yetkilerini hiçbir bağlayıcı üst bir otorite ile sınırlandırmayan ulus-devletler, özellikle Sovyet Rusya’nın çözülmesinden sonra küreselleşmenin getirdiği yeni sorunlar karşısında tek başına bazen yetersiz kalabilmişlerdir. Fakat yine de ekonomik alanda uluslararası sermayenin içeri girmesine izin veren, üretici ve tüketicinin haklarını tehlike arz edebilecek yabancı yatırımlara karşı koruyabilen, bunun yanı sıra uluslararası örgütlerin pasif kaldığı iç savaş ve istikrarsızlıklar karşısında güvenlik şemsiyesi rolü üstlenen ulus-devletlere olan ihtiyaç halen devam etmektedir. Ayrıca, değişen toplum yapısına bağlı olarak ülke içerisinde artan suç oranları, yozlaşan ikili ilişkiler ve toplumsal huzursuzluklar karşısında düzenleyici işlev görme, hızla yükselen göç dalgalarına karşı milliyetçi politikalar izleyerek kendi ulusunun çıkarlarını koruma ve ortak bir üst kimlik oluşturma noktalarında ulus-devletler yine başat aktörlerdir. Bu çalışmada küreselleşme karşısında ulus-devletlerin artan rolüne değinilecek, bu hegemon yapıların iç politikada ve uluslararası sistemde ne kadar ihtiyaç duyulan aktörler oldukları vurgulanacaktır.

Politisasi lingkungan telah mengakibatkan terjadinya degradasi lingkungan dan marjinalisasi masyarakat lokal. Politisasi tersebut terkait dengan relasi kekuasaan yang tidak setara antar aktor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan dan menjelaskan aktor dan relasi kekuasaan yang terjadi dalam pengelolaan mangrove. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan pemerintah kabupaten tidak berjalan dengan baik dan efektif, ketika mekanisme akses struktural dan relasional yang dijalankan pengusaha mampu mengkonversi mangrove menjadi tambak udang intensif. Aktor negara lainnya, yaitu TNI AL ternyata mampu menjaga keberadaan mangrove di wilayahnya dari intervensi aktor-aktor lainnya. LSM dan masyarakat/organisasi masyarakat berusaha menggalang kekuatan untuk mencegah konversi terhadap mangrove yang tersisa, namun belum cukup kuat menghadapi akses pengusaha. Oleh karena itu, perlu dikembangkan jejaring yang lebih luas lagi melalui kolaborasi antara kelembagaan lokal, LSM lokal, nasional dan internasional, universitas, lembaga penelitian, perusahaan melalui tanggung jawab sosialnya, dan lain-lain, agar dapat mendorong kebijakan pemerintah kabupaten yang lebih berpihak pada pengelolaan mangrove secara lestari. Cara lain dapat ditempuh dengan menjalin relasi dengan pengusaha melalui akademisi yang merupakan bagian dari jejaring tersebut, sehingga dapat mendorong kesadaran pengusaha tentang pentingnya fungsi dan manfaat mangrove terhadap kelestarian lingkungan dan keberlanjutan budidaya udangnya.

Syftet med denna artikel är att bidra med kunskap om hur digitala redskap kan påverka lärarstudenters deltagande i handledningsprocessen. Trots att lärarstudenter och handledare ofta befinner sig i digitala klassrumsmiljöer används digitala redskap endast i begränsad omfattning under handledningsprocessen. Med utgångspunkt i Wengers teori om lärande i en praktikgemenskap har lärarstudenter och handledare arbetat med stöd av digitala observationsunderlag. Processen har studerats på fyra övningsskolor. Information om studenternas erfarenheter av handledningen har samlats in via enkäter och fokusgruppsamtal. Resultatet visar att det är fyra moment som påverkat studenters deltaganden i handledningsprocessen. Studenter 1) delar sin planering digitalt inför undervisning, 2) skapar digitala observationsunderlag från undervisning, 3) använder digitala observationsunderlag för att förbereda handledningssamtal, 4) väljer aspekter från digitala observationsunderlag för bearbetning i handledningssamtal. Resultatet ger också signaler om två kritiska moment som särskilt underlättat deltagande i handledningsprocessen: dels bearbetningen av planering före undervisning, dels bearbetningen av observation före handledning. Det visar att studenters och handledares gemensamma deltagande och ansvar för handledningsprocessen påverkar både form, innehåll och utfall.

This article is devoted to the relationship between an actor and a character. This relationship is a basic indicator of theatre whose material is the actor and specifi cally his body. The body of an actor is his basic instrument which is characterised by a double existence which is clear to the viewer. It concerns a double life: two „personalities”, two physical existences, awarenesses, memories and two times: the real and the fi ctitious. Less obvious is the fact that an actor plays a double role at the same time, i.e. as signal material and co-author of the character who communicates with other characters in the fi ctitious world, as well as an equally active element of playwrights’ communication with the audience. That is why, one of the ways to describe the body in the theatre is the semiotics of the theatre, which is an analysis of a performance as a density of sign structure, referring to the space of the body and body techniques as a sign of signs. This article undertakes the problem of the representation of the body in the theatre. For, regardless of the kind of the theatre, the body is always interwoven with meanings. It takes place both in the traditional theatre, where the body is conventionalised, closed in defi nite frameworks of form and convention and in para-theatrical events which abolish the basic opposition between an actor and a character performed by him. Pretending in theatre involves a signalised “recording” by an actor on his own body the perception of the world which belongs to the fi ctitious character who perceives this world from a different time and space viewpoint.
