The Impact

Urban life is synonymous with routine and high activity in which competition between individual communities continues to increase. The routine and busyness that continues to accumulate by each individual approves fatigue and demands less productive work / study. The third place is present to balance the lives of people outside the home and work place. That way, third place is needed in the big city area which is also adjusted to the needs of the community. This project supports the balance of life in the communities around the Kramat village, Senen with programs that suit their needs. The program that emerges according to the Kramat region is a creative space because the local residents who have a profession as ondel - ondel craftsmen but do not have a place to channel these talents.The design method includes data collection techniques through observation and interviews with the results applied to the transformation design method. Kramat Creative Place in Senen is the third place planned to serve the needs of the surrounding community in the social and creativity fields in order to address the issue of urban life due to daily busyness. This project provides several facilities that facilitate community activities in education, eating places, and meeting / socializing places. This project is planned so that all groups of people, especially in the Kramat district can use it so that it is not only a place to release fatigue but also a place to interact with each other to establish stronger relationships in the community so that it can be useful for the future. The community has also become aware of the impact of natural damage, so this project will be designed environmentally friendly. AbstrakKehidupan perkotaan identik dengan rutinitas dan kesibukan tinggi dimana persaingan antar individu masyarakat terus meningkat. Rutinitas dan kesibukan yang terus terakumulasi oleh setiap individu memicu kepenatan dan mengakibatkan sikap kerja/belajar yang kurang produktif. Third place hadir untuk menyeimbangkan kehidupan masayarakat diluar rumah dan tempat kerja. Dengan begitu, third place diperlukan dalam kawasan kota besar yang disesuaikan pula dengan kebutuhan masyarakatnya. Proyek ini mendukung keseimbangan hidup masyarakat di sekitar kelurahan Kramat, Senen dengan program – program yang sesuai kebutuhan. Program yang muncul sesuai kawasan Kramat yaitu ruang kreatif karena warga sekitar yang telah menjalani profesi  sebagai pengrajin ondel – ondel namun tidak tersedianya wadah untuk menyalurkan bakat tersebut. Metode perancangan meliputi teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi dan wawancara dengan hasil yang diaplikasikan ke dalam metode perancangan tarnsformasi. Ruang Kreatif Kramat di kawasan Senen ini merupakan third place yang direncanakan untuk melayani kebutuhan masyarakat sekitar dalam bidang sosial dan kreativitas guna menjawab isu kehidupan perkotaan karena kesibukan sehari-hari. Proyek ini menyediakan beberapa fasilitas yang mewadahi kegiatan masyarakat pada pendidikan, tempat makan, dan tempat berkumpul/bersosialisasi. Proyek ini direncanakan agar semua golongan masyarakat terutama di kelurahan Kramat dapat menggunakannya sehingga bukan hanya sebagai tempat pelepas penat namun juga tempat untuk saling berinteraksi agar terjalin hubungan yang lebih kuat dalam masyarakat sehingga bisa berguna bagi kedepannya. Masyarakat pun telah menyadari dampak kerusakan alam maka proyek ini akan dirancang ramah lingkungan.

This article offers a ‘post-heritage’ reading of both iterations of Upstairs Downstairs: the LondonWeekend Television (LWT) series (1971–5) and its shortlived BBC revival (2010–12). Identifying elements of subversion and subjectivity allows scholarship on the LWT series to be reassessed, recognising occasions where it challenges rather than supports the social structures of the depicted Edwardian past. The BBC series also incorporates the post-heritage element of self-consciousness, acknowledging the parallel between its narrative and the production’s attempts to recreate the success of its 1970s predecessor. The article’s first section assesses the critical history of the LWT series, identifying areas that are open to further study or revised readings. The second section analyses the serialised war narrative of the fourth series of LWT’s Upstairs, Downstairs (1974), revealing its exploration of female identity across multiple episodes and challenging the notion that the series became more male and upstairs dominated as it progressed. The third section considers the BBC series’ revised concept, identifying the shifts in its main characters’ positions in society that allow the series’ narrative to question the past it evokes. This will be briefly contrasted with the heritage stability of Downton Abbey (ITV, 2010–15). The final section considers the household of 165 Eaton Place’s function as a studio space, which the BBC series self-consciously adopts in order to evoke the aesthetics of prior period dramas. The article concludes by suggesting that the barriers to recreating the past established in the BBC series’ narrative also contributed to its failure to match the success of its earlier iteration.

The Impact

This paper seeks to understand why there has been an increase in photographic images exposing military violence or displaying bodies killed by military forces and how they can freely circulate in the public without being censored or kept hidden. In other words, it aims to analyze this particular issue as a symptom of the emergence of new wars and a new regime of their visual representation. Within this framework, it attempts to relate two kinds of literature that are namely the history of war and war photography with the bridge of theoretical discussions on the real, its photographic representation, power, and violence.  Rather than systematic empirical analysis, the paper is based on a theoretical attempt which is reflected on some socio-political observations in the Middle East where there has been ongoing wars or new wars. The core discussion of the paper is supported by a brief analysis of some illustrative photographic images that are served through the social media under the circumstances of war for instance in Turkey between Turkish military troops and the Kurdish militants. The paper concludes that in line with the process of dissolution/transformation of the old nation-state formations and globalization, the mechanism and mode of power have also transformed to the extent that it resulted in the emergence of new wars. This is one dynamic that we need to recognize in relation to the above-mentioned question, the other is the impact of social media in not only delivering but also receiving war photographies. Today these changes have led the emergence of new machinery of power in which the old modern visual/photographic techniques of representing wars without human beings, torture, and violence through censorship began to be employed alongside medieval power techniques of a visual exhibition of tortures and violence.

This chapter examines music in the British workplace. It considers whether it is appropriate to see the history of music in the workplace as involving a journey from the organic singing voice (both literal and metaphorical) of workers to broadcast music appropriated by the powerful to become a technique of social control. The chapter charts four key stages in the social history of music in British workplaces. First, it highlights the existence of widespread cultures of singing at work prior to industrialization, and outlines the important meanings these cultures had for workers. Next, it outlines the silencing of the singing voice within the workplace further to industrialization—either from direct employer bans on singing, or from the roar of the industrial noise. The third key stage involves the carefully controlled employer- and state-led reintroduction of music in the workplace in the mid-twentieth century—through the centralized relaying of specific forms of music via broadcast systems in workplaces. The chapter ends with an examination of contemporary musicking in relation to (often worker-led) radio music played in workplaces.

Blockchain is widely considered a new key technology. The Foundation for Technology Assessment (TA-SWISS) has proposed a comprehensive assessment of blockchain technologies. With this publication, TA-SWISS provides the much-needed social contextualisation of blockchain. The first, more technical part of the study takes an in-depth look at how blockchain functions and examines the economic potential of this technology. By analysing multiple real-world applications, the study sheds light on where the blockchain has advantages over traditional applications and where existing technologies continue to be the better solution. The second part of the study examines how blockchain became mainstream. It explores the origins of blockchain in the early history of information technology and computer networks. The study also reveals the impact blockchain has on industrial and public spaces. Finally, it discusses the social implications and challenges of blockchain against the background of a new socio-technical environment.

The research aimed to reveal the history of the Raya Magazine and writing on political movements promoted by Islamic College students in Minangkabau. The research findings succeeded in revealing that Raya Magazine was present in the midst of strengthening colonial political pressure and the weakening of the national movement in the 1930s. The political movement was one of the themes of the national movement which was of special note and attention to the Islamic College Students Association. This theme was encountered in several articles during publication, mainly related to the weakening of non-cooperative parties in carrying out movements. The social situation that helped shape the theme of the political movement was the impact caused by the application of vergaderverbood in 1933 and arrested a number of non-cooperative parties leaders, especially Partindo, PNI Baru, and Permi.
