In so doing, it challenges a still-recurrent perception that practitioners have little or no involvement in cultural pol- icy activity. The perception is apparent in cultural policy research litera- ture—as will be illustrated in the next chapter—as well as being encountered …

It is an aesthetic and artistic form, infected by centuries of tradition and craftsmanship in cultures around the world while being defned by regular aesthetic change. Fashion is also a globalised industrial system of manufactured commodities that relies in large part on its media to ascribe meaning to its relentless churn of produ…

Not surprisingly, it took time to incorporate elements like belief and spiri- …

Tan Malaka melihat kemajuan umat manusia melalui tiga tahap : dari "logika mistika" lewat "filsafat" ke "ilmu pengetahuan" (sains). Dan selama bangsa Indonesia masih terkungkung oleh "logika mistika" itu, tak mun…

This book has come together over several years, as books often do. My thanks go to Palgrave Series Editor, Jonathan Crichton, who encouraged me to write the book and whose guiding words helped shape the early stages.
