The time until now the existence of tepak pencug has not found a place in the hearts of the composers or other creators to make it as the source of creation in realizing a work of art (music). Though tepak pencug often used as a creativity event of a rider in accompanying dance jaipong for improvisation rythm. That way, it is clear that many patterns or motifs of Sundanese drums are born by improvisations. That is the good idea for creation to be developed into a work of music. Based on the symptoms of that’s the meaning, the idea that becomes an offer in the work of pencug music is to cultivate or explore the motives that exist in kendang sunda (especially tepak pencug) into a work of art object (music).The purpose of the creation of the compositions of musical works is to develop patterns, rhythms and motifs in the form of music composition. While the benefit is to contribute thoughts about the process of creation through the development of patterns, rhythms and motifs in the drum kendang Sunda to other creators. The realization of the work of this musical composition can’t be separated from various sources that provide inspiration and guidance or reference. This work uses two types of sources as a reference, namely the source of art work and some sources of books (literature of review).

Zodiak adalah rasi bintang di sepanjang garis ekliptika yang terdiri atas 12 bagian, yaitu Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagitarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, dan Pisces. Ke-12 zodiak tersebut memiliki karakter yang berbeda karena dibedakan oleh modus (cardinal, fixed, mutable) dan elemen (api, tanah, udara, air) yang menyusunnya. Fenomena ini, dalam konteks komposisi musik, merupakan hal-hal ekstra musikal. Hal-hal ekstra musikal inilah yang akan diangkat ke dalam komposisi musik programa dengan judul “Suita Zodiak”. Komposisi ini disusun dalam 12 gerakan dan disusun dalam 12 tonalitas yang berbeda. Masing-masing gerakan menggambarkan karakter 12 zodiak dari Aries hingga Pisces. Karakter dari ketiga modus yang menyusun zodiak ditransformasi ke musik melalui pembedaan tekstur, sedangkan karakter dari keempat elemen yang menyusun zodiak ditransformasi ke musik melalui pembedaan karakter melodi, suasana musikal, dan pembedaan tempo. Pemaknaan tentang karakter 12 zodiak kemudian dijadikan batasan dalam penciptaan “Suita Zodiak” bersifat arbitrer. Hal ini mengacu pada beberapa karya yang pernah diciptakan sebelumnya, yang sebagian besar menghubungkan karya musik dengan unsur ekstra musikalnya secara arbitrer. Karya ini digarap dalam format string kuartet dan trio woodwind dengan mengembangkan beberapa konsep melodi yang diambil dari thesaurus of scales and melodic pattern. Zodiac Suite: Music Composition for String Quaertet and Trio Woodwind. Zodiac is the constellations along the ecliptic line consisting of 12 parts, namely Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagitarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. The 12 zodiacs have different characters because they are distinguished by the mode (cardinal, fixed, mutable) and elements (fire, earth, air, water) that are arranged them. This phenomenon, in the context of musical composition, is extra-musical things. These extra-musical things will be lifted into musical composition program entitled “Suita Zodiak”. This music composition has been worked out in 12 movements and arranged in 12 different tones. Each movement describes the character of the 12 zodiacs from Aries to Pisces. The characters of the three modes setting up the zodiac will be transformed into music through texture distinction; meanwhile the characters of four elements that are creating the zodiac have been transformed into music through the distinction of the melodic character, musical atmosphere, as well as difference in tempo. The meaning of 12 zodiac characters are then used as constraints in the creation of the arbitrary Zodiac Suite. This refers to several masterpieces that had been previously created, most of which relate to musical masterpiece with arbitrary extra-musical element. This artistry has been created in the quartet string and trio woodwind format by developing several melody concepts that are taken from thesaurus of scales and melodic pattern.

Bartol’s Alamut as a valuable Slovenian literary work has been exposed to several interpretations for more than 70 years. The simplest or maybe the most credulous reading of this book is the one that considers it as a history book. This reading deems that the novel literally narrates the political and social events of Iran in the 11th century, the time that the Ismailis with Hasan Sabbah as the leader ruled over Alamut Castle. In this article the novel’s most important interpretations have been provided by discussing the deliberate critical essays through content analysis and historical criticism of the happenings. Then by using some important historical documents and relevant evidence, some events and persons of that time have been detected. The main aim of the article is to show that while Bartol incorporated a vast knowledge of the history of the Middle East as the core part of his novel, he also regarded his own nation and the miserable events of his own country. As a matter of fact he sent a harsh message through creating his own Hasan Sabbah, without any concern for the history.

Kyai Badranaya is another name for figures in the purwa puppet show which is a symbolic figure for Javanese people. The special symbolic means to have variations, concepts of life, and beliefs in Javanese society. In the Javanese purwa puppet show, Semar figures are representations of good and wise qualities in human beings. Real Semar figures are also gods who transformed into commoners and became servants, protectors, and also knights of Pandawa namely Yudhistira, Bima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sadewa in the Javanese version of the Mahabharata epics. The musical composition of Kyai Badranaya is part of the four musical compositions of Kidung Semar by the author, who presents musical performances with ideas from the values and semar phenomenon of Semar figures in the purwa puppet show in Java.

Prophet as an actor first preaching in the life of Islam, with persistent and knows no despair, he delivered the message of Islam until his death. In connection with it as ukhairu ummah” then any Muslim either individually or in groups should inherit the position as the subject of preaching is not the object of propaganda let alone act as someone who does not do anything. Muslim communities must be at the core and is responsible for calling on people to take an active role of truth and prevent those things from falsehood, so that the goal can be achieved with the Islamic da’wah well and smoothly in accordance with what is expected. To carry out and deliver da'wah to its target objects, there are many methods or methods carried out by ulama, Da'i and da'wah practitioners, all of which rely on efforts to convey religious messages or Islamic values. In this regard, when the message of preaching will be delivered to the object, the thing that must be considered is the creation of a process of acceptance and understanding of da'wah messages in an atmosphere that is good and peaceful, does not lead to contra, divisive or even confusing understanding which results in no achieved the expected missionary purpose. On the one hand, the essence of da'wah in the socio-cultural system is to organize and provide direction for change. Changing the structure of society and culture from tyranny towards justice, ignorance towards progress / intelligence, poverty towards prosperity, all backwardness towards progress in order to improve the degree of humans and society towards the peak of humanity (tawa). The obligation to carry out Islamic da'wah, is certainly closely related to the commands of Allah SWT. In the A1-Qur'an, among the arguments that show the obligation of da'wah are listed in the which means the following: "And let there be among you a group of people who call upon virtue, send to those who speak and prevent from the poor, they are the lucky ones.

As Outi Paloposki and Kaisa Koskinen (2010) correctly stated in their article on the “fine line between retranslating and revising”, the exact relationship of a text with the previous translation(s) cannot always be determined, even if the most recent translation is presented (in the paratext to the edition) as a ‘retranslation’, ‘re-edition’ or ‘revision’. Indeed, in practice the “labels” of “(re)translation, (…) revisions, adaptations and retellings” are “hard to separate and cover different contents” in different circumstances (Van Coillie 2014). In this paper I will try to study the effect of a first or previous translation on the process of retranslating. In order to do that I will compare a number of literary translations with their predecessors. Literary translations are specifically chosen here because they are probably more often retranslated than other types of texts. Moreover, the style of the translated text is presumably more important than for other genres, which allows me to mutually compare the translations not only at lexical and syntactic, but also at stylistic level. In order to visualize the effect of a previous translation on a retranslation I will compare a number of Dutch translations of Russian literary works with their retranslations. On the one hand, I will compare three recent retranslations with older translations of the same work, ordered and published by the same publishing house, and explicitly announced to the reader as a ‘refreshed’ and reworked translation of the previous one. In these particular cases the retranslators were fully aware of the existence of another translation and the explicit reference to ‘retranslation’ virtually forced them to use the previous translation as a starting point. In order to avoid the influence of (1) the changing translation strategies throughout time, and (2) the possible idiosyncratic peculiarities of the specific translation strategy of one particular (but not representative) translator, I will use translations made by three different translators and published in approximately the same period. On the other hand, I will investigate two Dutch translations of the same Russian literary work, that were made independently from each other and were published virtually on the same day, as the translators were unaware of each other’s translation effort. In this case the ‘previous’ (the term is not really applicable in this case) translation could not have had any effect on the ‘retranslation’, which makes it an interesting case to compare with the three genuine ‘retranslations’. Special attention will be drawn to the differences in the translator’s decisions at lexical, syntactical and stylistic level. More specifically, the analysis will include a quantitative and qualitative approach. I will establish the amount of overlap in lexical, syntactical and stylistic choices in the four pairs of texts, and will try to find whether the retention or substitution of certain terms and linguistic features can be explained.

Two aspects of Schumpeter' legacy are analyzed in the article. On the one hand, he can be viewed as the custodian of the neoclassical harvest supplementing to its stock of inherited knowledge. On the other hand, the innovative character of his works is emphasized that allows to consider him a proponent of hetherodoxy. It is stressed that Schumpeter's revolutionary challenge can lead to radical changes in modern economics.

The article explores the role of antropoetonyms in the reader’s “horizon of expectation” formation. As a kind of “text in the text”, antropoetonyms are concentrating a large amount of information on a minor part of the text, reflecting the main theme of the work. As a “text” this class of poetonyms performs a number of functions: transmission and storage of information, generation of new meanings, the function of “cultural memory”, which explains the readers’ “horizon of expectations”. In analyzing the context of the literary work we should consider the function of antropoetonyms in vertical context (the link between artistic and other texts, and the groundwork system of culture), as well as in the context of the horizontal one (times’ connection realized in the communication chain from the word to the text; the author’s intention). In this aspect, the role of antropoetonyms in the structure of the literary text is extremely significant because antropoetonyms convey an associative nature, generating a complex mechanism of allusions. It’s an open fact that they always transmit information about the preceding text and suggest a double decoding. On the one hand, the recipient decodes this information, on the other – accepts this as a sort of hidden, “secret” sense.

This article examines how female conditioning and sexual repression affect the woman’s sense of self, womanhood, identity and her place in society. It argues that the woman’s body is at the core of the many sites of gender struggles/ politics. Accordingly, the woman’s body must be decolonised for her to attain true emancipation. On the one hand, this study identifies the grave consequences of sexual repression, how it robs women of their freedom to choose whom to love or marry, the freedom to seek legal redress against sexual abuse and terror, and how it hinders their quest for self-determination. On the other hand, it underscores the need to give women sexual freedom that must be respected and enforced by law for the overall good of society.
