Communications and the Arts (Claire Wyckoff)

Introduction

Haveyou ever thought about how much time you spend talking with friends and family, listening to the radio, watching TV, and surfing the Web? If you add it all up, you’ll quickly realize that communication is the most important activity in your day. Good communication is what helps you influence others, build relationships, and make sense of the world around you. Just as communication is important to you, it is critical to the health of communities. In fact it is the very foundation of society. Without it, we could not help and entertain each other, share information, or build networks. Thanks to technology, our ability to communicate has evolved beyond the mere interpersonal level. We send words, sounds, images, and moving pictures over the air (radio/telephone/television/microwaves), on hard copy through printed material, over the Internet with cables and airwaves, and out into space and back (satellites). People pursue communications and arts careers for a variety of reasons. However, two stand out. One is a strong, natural aptitude in the arts (e.g., music and dance). The other is an interest in the technical side of getting arts and information to the public (e.g., broadcast engineering and desktop publishing). For individuals in either category, obtaining an associate’s degree from a two-year program may provide exactly the right academic foundation for their professional development.

MEMBACA NALAR STUDI AGAMA SAKRAL DAN PROFAN KARYA MERCIA ELIADE

oleh : Wisnu Wirandi Buku “ Sakral Dan Profan ” adalah sebuah dokumen yang sangat mendasar tentang pemahaman manusia tentang agama dan bagaimana ia menguji kualitas hidupnya. Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) tidak membuang-buang waktu dengan berupaya menjelaskan atau mendefinisikan pengalaman yang sakral dalam kerangka disiplin-disiplin yang lain. Misalnya, yang sakral sebagai sebuah pengalaman psikologis (Campbell) atau yang sakral sebagai sebuah fenomena sosiologis (Burkert). Sebaliknya, ia menganalisa yang sakral sebagai yang sakral. Eliade menunjukkan bagaimana ruang dan waktu yang sakral adalah sungguh-sungguh ruang dan waktu yang riil, nyata, permanen dan abadi; kebalikan dengan ruang dan waktu yang labil, selalu berubah-ubah dari dunia profan. Kalangan homo religiusus (orang-orang tradisional) menghidupkan kembali kebaikan-kebaikkan primordial dari dewa-dewa dan ritus-ritusnya, tentu saja tidak seperti manusia modern, dalam semua tingkah lakunya, karena tindakan-...

Allan P. Merriam, The Anthropology Of Music Capter XI, “Use and Functions”

(Allan P. Merriam) Gambar diunduh dari https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_P._Merriam A.Merriam, The Anthropology Of Music Capter XI, “Use and Functions” Kegunaan (use) dan fungsi (function) music merupakan masalah yang sangat penting dalam etnomusikologi, karena hal ini menyangkut makna musik, tidak hanya fakta-fakta mengenai music. Tentu saja, dalam etnomusikologi kita selalu berusaha untuk mengumpulkan fakta mengenai musik. Tetapi lebih dari itu, kita ingin mengetahui pula efek / dampak music terhadap manusia, dan kita ingin mengerti bagaimana efek tersebut digasilkan. Menurut Merriam, para etnomusikologi sering-sering memakai istilah ‘kegunaan’ dan ‘fungsi’ secara rancu, bahkan para antropolog kadangkala berbuat demikian. Namun, kedua gagasan tersebut harus dibedakan satu s...
