Hadirin yang terhormat, Izinkan saya dalam kesempatan yang berbahagia ini untuk menyampaikan orasi ilmiah dengan judul “Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai dan Pendidikan Perdamaian”. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Sesuatu Terjadi) adalah film romantik India yang dirilis di India dan Inggris pada tanggal 16 Oktober 1998. Kuch- Kuch Hota Hai ditulis dan didirektori oleh Karan Johar dan dibintangi oleh Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, dan Salman Khan. Film ini sangat sukses di India dan di luar negeri, memenangkan penghargaan utama dalam semua kategori termasuk the Best Film award at the 44th Annual Filmfare Awards,[3] Lux Zee Cine Awards, Sansui Viewers' Choice Awards, Aashirwad Awards, Bollywood Movie Awards dan the National Film Awards. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuch_Kuch_Hota_Hai). Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai adalah film India yang berhasil mengangkat perfilman India menjadi dikenal oleh khalayak di seluruh dunia tak terkecuali di Indonesia. Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai juga berhasil mengangkat bintang film India Shah Rukh Khan dan Kajol menjadi idola baru perfilman India setelah era Amitab Bachchan dan Hema Malini. Terkait dengan pendidikan perdamaian, film ini secara umum mengandung contoh pendidikan perdamaian yang konkret dan bisa langsung dipahami oleh siapa saja yang menontonnya. Susan Fountain mengenai Pendidikan Perdamaian di UNICEF terbitan Juli 1999 mengemukakan tiga definisi yang meliputi: Pendekatan berdasar keilmuan “Pendekatan multidisipliner akademik dan moral untuk mencari solusi bagi permasalahan- permasalahan perang dan ketidakadilan dengan konsekuensi perkembangan institusi-institusi dan pergerakan-pergerakan yang akan berkontribusi untuk perdamaian yang berdasar atas keadilan dan rekonsiliasi” (COPRED, 1986) Pendekatan berdasar keterampilan dan tingkah laku “istilah global yang menerapkan usaha dan aktivitas untuk semua pendidikan yang mengambil fokus kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan perdamaian dan pembangunan perdamaian dan perkembangannya, dalam diri pembelajar, sikap-sikap toleransi dan empati dan juga dalam kerja sama, menghindari konflik, dan penyelesaian konflik agar para pembelajar akan mempunyai kapasitas dan motivasi, secara individual dan kelompok, untuk hidup damai dengan yang lain” (Cremin, 1993) Pendekatan yang menggabungkan ilmu, ketrampilan, dan tingkah laku “Suatu proses yang menyiapkan orang muda untuk memiliki tanggung jawab global; yang memungkinkan mereka untuk memahami kealamian dan implikasi-implikasi keadaan saling ketergantungan global; dan membantu mereka untuk menerima tanggung jawab untuk bekerja pada keadilan, kedamaian, dan komunitas global yang bersemangat (Reardon, 1988) Secara umum, ketika kita berbicara mengenai pendidikan perdamaian, ada tiga aspek yang menyusunnya, yaitu: 1. Materi 2. Proses 3. Hubungan Swee-Hin Toh dan Virginia Cawagas, secara sederhana, membagi enam materi dasar yang diberikan dalam pendidikan perdamaian, yaitu: - Pendidikan untuk menghapus budaya perang dan kekerasan - Pendidikan untuk menjunjung hak asasi manusia dan menjadi manusia yang bertanggung jawab - Pendidikan untuk hidup dengan adil dan penuh kasih - Pendidikan untuk membangun solidaritas lintas kultur - Pendidikan untuk memelihara lingkungan - Pendidikan untuk kedamaian pribadi Keenam materi itu diberikan dengan tujuan akhir, yaitu untuk membangun budaya perdamaian dalam masyarakat. Dalam pendidikan perdamaian, proses belajar itu adalah proses yang menyenangkan. Pembelajar belajar sesuai dengan apa yang diperlukan oleh dirinya dan diarahkan untuk membentuk pribadi yang damai. Ada empat prinsip dasar pedagogi pendidikan perdamaian yang dikembangkan oleh Swee-Hin Toh dan Virginia Cawagas, yaitu: a. Holistik atau menyeluruh b. Melalui dialog c. Mendorong pemikiran kritis d. Membentuk nilai-nilai perdamaian Di dalam hubungan ini, yang perlu diperhatikan adalah kedudukan guru dan pembelajar adalah sama dan setara. Keduanya berfungsi sebagai sumber ilmu dan keterampilan, tetapi keduanya juga berfungsi sebagai pembelajar. Guru lebih berfungsi sebagai fasilitator dalam proses pembelajaran ini. Di mata Mr Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, Ketua Cheng Ho “Multi Culture Education Trust” mengatakan seluruh bangsa di dunia dihadapkan pada kondisi yang hampir sama, yaitu kekerasan dalam berbagai tingkatan mulai dari keluarga, teroris, dan kekerasan dari alam. “Dunia dalam kondisi sakit. Jika manusia sakit, maka sudah ada dokter yang siap menyembuhkan. Tetapi apabila dunia sakit akibat kekerasan, maka satu-satunya obat yang tepat adalah pendidikan, yaitu pendidikan perdamaian,” katanya. (Antara, 1/7) Upaya menumbuhkan nilai-nilai perdamaian harus dimulai dari keluarga. Ini yang digalakan Mari Alkatiri, tokoh perdamaian Timor Leste, Ia menegaskan perlunya nilai-nilai perdamaian ditumbuhkan mulai dari lingkungan keluarga. Berdasarkan pendapat Mari Alkatiri tersebut, kiranya film Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai mampu dijadikan tontonan sebagai contoh dalam penumbuhan nilai-nilai perdamaian dalam lingkungan keluarga. Oleh karena itu, penting bagi kita untuk mengembangkan konsep One Humanity, One Destiny, One Responsibility sebagai filosofi dasar pendidikan perdamaian. “Untuk menyukseskan program pendidikan damai, UNESCO mengajukan sepuluh dasar budaya damai, sebagai berikut. (1) Terpenuhinya kebutuhan dasar, termasuk kebutuhan material, politis, sosial, hukum, dan sebagainya, (2) Pendidikan bagi perubahan untuk meningkatkan nilai- nilai yang menentukan tindakan manusia sehari-hari, (3) Terbebas dari mitos-mitos yang menyebabkan manusia menghindari tanggung-jawab, (4) Demilitarisasi pertahanan: konflik tidak harus diselesaikan dengan kekuatan militer. (5) Demistifikasi atas ancaman, (6) Feminisasi budaya: ditandai otoritas sosial yang didominasi pria, (7) Ketidakpatuhan sebagai kebijakan: kesadaran kritis untuk menyelesaikan konflik, (8) Menghargai identitas kultural, menghilangkan kebijakan imperialisme dan kolonialisme, dan menghindari kecenderungan memaksakan terbentuknya sebuah budaya semesta, (9) Mengatasi logika polarisasi blok, menerima dunia yang plural, dan membangun toleransi, dan (10) Memberdayakan yang kecil (http://www.um.ac.id/news/2008/12/92/). Samsu Rizal, Peneliti Pusat Studi Keamanan dan Perdamaian (PSKP) Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Yogyakarta, memaparkan situasi pendidikan perdamaian di Indonesia baik dalam bentuk pengajaran formal, pelatihan, dan program yang dilakukan berbagai lembaga dan organisasi masyarakat. "Pendidikan perdamaian itu meliputi program resolusi konflik, pencegahan kekerasan, pendidikan perdamaian dan pembangunan, pendidikan nirkekerasan, pendidikan perdamaian mendunia atau global, dan pendidikan perdamaian inovatif berbasis sekolah (http://www.csrc.or.id/berita/index.php?detail=072303021159). Menurut Kawuryan, pendidikan perdamaian didasarkan pada filosofi untuk mengajar tanpa kekerasan, penuh cinta, mengembangkan perasaan belas kasih, kepercayaan, kejujuran, keadilan, kerjasama dan penghormatan kepada seluruh umat manusia dan semua kehidupan di bumi ini. Pendidikan perdamaian adalah pendidikan budaya, pengembangan karakter, dan metanoia diri pribadi dan masyarakat sehingga nilai-nilai seperti integrasi, tenggang rasa, saling menghargai, menghormati dan melihat konflik sebagai yang positif dapat diaplikasikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari (http://www.wikimu.com/News/DisplayNews.aspx?id=18099). Limas Sutanto (http://www.unisosdem.org/kliping_detail.php?aid=3805&coid=1&caid=52) menyatakan bahwa pendekatan immediate-intuitive menekankan proses eksperiensial (pengalaman nyata, hal-hal yang sungguh teralami), yang benar-benar menumbuhkembangkan kepekaan dan kesadaran atas perilaku pribadi lewat komunikasi verbal dan nonverbal serta penyampaian umpan balik yang relevan dan kontekstual. Pendekatan immediate-intuitive menggarisbawahi pengalaman riil pribadi dalam pembelajaran. Di Indonesia, penelitian terhadap film Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai memang pernah dilakukan oleh Saptyasari dan Moerdijati (2007) dengan judul Nilai-Nilai Budaya dalam Komunikasi antarpersona di Film Drama. Dalam penelitian mereka tersebut hanya mengkaji budaya dan komunikasi antarpersona dalam film Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai. Selain itu, terdapat juga penelitian Rafiek (2000) yang menyoroti Representasi Perempuan dalam Film Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai. Kedua penelitian tersebut sangat

  • Negotiations of the Bollywood Heroine in Trinidad
    1 Idealized Bodies—Embodied Ideals: Young Female Audiences and Their (Re)Negotiations of the Bollywood Heroine in Trinidad Hanna Klien-Thomas [email protected] Oxford Brookes University, London, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Film heroines have been an integral part of Hindi cinema’s long-standing transnational circuits and, in more recent times, of global Bollywood. Due to current changes in the reception context, young audiences in Trinidad are confronted with the need to make meaning of heroines within disjunctive cultural formations, both in negotiating heroines of newly released films as well as renegotiating established icons. This paper offers a historical overview of Hindi cinema, related notions of idealized Indian womanhood, and marginalized viewing pleasures. Secondly, drawing on interviews conducted in Trinidad between 2010 and 2013, it gives insights into the signifying practices of young women. The focus is on how young women exert discursive and interpretative power to selectively reconfigure heroines and star texts, thereby signifying Indianness as well as a space to express their desires. KEYWORDS Young audiences; Bollywood heroine; star text; diaspora; ethnicity; gender negotiations; navigations 2 Following the liberalization of India’s national economy in the 1990s, Hindi film production has undergone fundamental changes, which have primarily been discussed in the context of Bollywood emerging as a cultural industry, its global outreach, and aspirations to tap new markets beyond established cinema circuits. As Ashish Rajadhyaksha suggests, the process he refers to as “Bollywoodization” is primarily related to growing marketing opportunities and options for merchandising on the global market.1 Propelled by transnational flows of the contemporary global cultural economy and the deep mediatization of almost every aspect of life, Bollywood is now commodified and consumed in manifold ways, including branded communication patterns, fragmented viewing on social media platforms, and transcultural fan art.

    Research Scholar ISSN 2320 – 6101 www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations Impact Factor 0.793 (IIFS) THE CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY OF PUBLIC SPACE IN DEEPA MEHTA’S ELEMENTS TRILOGY Abhilash Dey M.Phil Scholar Department of English University of Burdwan, West Bengal, India Abstract The following article takes up the representation of heterotopic public places and lived spaces in the visual story arcs of (celebrated Indian- Canadian filmmaker) Deepa Mehta for a closer probe. She has made her mark in the map of world cinema with her outstanding and thought- provoking feminist movies such as Water, Fire and Earth. A spokesperson of Indian women's plight, she leaves no stone unturned in portraying the telling helplessness of Indian women, in times past and times present. This paper also travels across the theories propounded by Foucault, Marc Augé and Ray Oldenburg and frequently seeks its sustenance from the matchless erudition of film-critic, Roger Ebert. The lived experiences of the pivotal protagonists involved in the sad-glad process of lives and times take place more in the public space than in the home space, and therein lies the crux of this proposed investigation. The spatiality of the relationship dynamic that attains fruition in the home space actually finds its fountainhead in the public space abroad. Deepa Mehta's visual rhetoric adduces support to the points driven home in this article. This is the epoch of space, the epoch of simultaneity and juxtaposition—to reiterate Foucault from his 1967-published treatise on discursive other space, “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias”.

  • Indian Cinema, Postcolonialism, and Social Justice: an Interview with Nandita Das1
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 13, No 3 (2018) Indian Cinema, Postcolonialism, and Social Justice: An Interview with Nandita Das1 Manav Ratti Salisbury University, Maryland, USA Introduction Nandita Das (b. 1969) is one of India’s most eminent filmmakers and actors, renowned in particular for her work in art cinema (or parallel cinema, as it is also called in India), the genre of pioneering filmmakers Ritwik Ghatak (1925-1976), Satyajit Ray (1921-1992), Mrinal Sen (b. 1923), and Tapan Sinha (1924-2009). Das (Figure 1) has, in some respects, pursued an unconventional path into the Indian film industry, for it is not her first professional pursuit, and she does not hail from a film family (distinguished in their fields, her father, Jatin Das, is a painter; and her mother, Varsha Das, is a writer). Born in Mumbai and growing up in New Delhi, Das worked with NGOs for several years before entering the film industry, building on her Master’s degree from the Delhi School of Social Work in the University of Delhi. Fig. 1. Nandita Das at the Cannes Film Festival, 2017. Photo courtesy of Nandita Das Perhaps this unconventional, even outsider’s, path has informed Das’s use of films to question the norms of gender, religion, caste, sexuality, class, and nation, among others. Her work has gained recognition and respect for its uniqueness, urgency, awareness, and authenticity. Known for her social justice advocacy, Das’s national and international commitments span a range of issues, such as violence against women, children’s rights, HIV/AIDS, poverty, and interreligious harmony. She has supported India’s “Dark is Beautiful” campaign, which raises awareness about colourism, a form of prejudice and discrimination that devalues darker skin colours while privileging lighter ones.

  • Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the Period from 4 April 2007 to 31 March 2008
    Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements For the period from 4 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 Managed by Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited Investment Objective The investment objective of The Indian Film Company Limited (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries; The Indian Film Company (Cyprus) Limited (formerly Braxfield Investment Limited and IFC Distribution Private Limited (collectively the Group) is to achieve total return for Shareholders through investment in a diverse portfolio of Indian films and films primarily targeted at the Indian audience across different genres, languages and budgets. The Group intends to build a film library of Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”) in various formats, including satellite, home video and mobile technology. The Directors and Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited (the “Investment Manager”) (formerly known as BK Enterprises Limited) believe that the Group is well placed to take advantage of film investment opportunities and to capitalise on the growth that the Indian film industry is experiencing. Operational Strategy The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Group, captures opportunities in the entire value chain of film creation by; (i) sourcing and evaluating prospective film projects through a research-led investment process; and (ii) managing and structuring the production and distribution of such film projects. In sourcing prospective film projects the Investment Manager thoroughly evaluates film concepts, scripts, directors and cast in respect of current market data relating to current tastes and trends. The Investment Manager then assesses the feasibility of the project in relation to budget, timescales and the risks and rewards of each opportunity. Once a film project has been approved by the Board, the Group seeks to retain full ownership of all IPR relating to each film project, although in certain situations the Group may invest in a film project where it may not acquire all rights.

  • An Analysis of South Asian American Gendered Ethnicity Formation in Visual Media Portrayals
    Pardes vs. Swades: an Analysis of South Asian American Gendered Ethnicity Formation in Visual Media Portrayals Honors Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with Honors Research Distinction in Comparative Ethnic and American Studies in the Undergraduate Colleges of The Ohio State University By Andrew Philip and Tanya Srivastava The Ohio State University May 2014 Project Advisor: Professor Binaya Subedi, Department of Teaching & Learning 2 ABSTRACT: As the number of South Asian Americans in the United States grows, so does their presence in mainstream American media, their production of alternative sources of Asian American film, and their cachet to develop Indian film industry (Bollywood) abroad. All three sources of media employ and depict South Asian Americans in various portrayals; some have been noted to perpetuate patterns of representation around ethnic identification, gender roles, citizenship, and socio-cultural ties. The consumption trends and effects these South Asian American portrayals have on South Asian American second-generation youth is largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to collect data concerning the media consumption patterns of our defined population of South Asian American youth, and how they negotiate gendered portrayals of their ethnic compatriots in their formation of ethnic identity. Using socialization theories and other data from previous ethnographies of South Asian Americans, we employ online surveys and personal interviews geared towards monitoring the consumption of South Asian American media portrayals and their effects on how South Asian American youth view themselves and their community. Findings of this study are among the first in the field of South Asian American Studies to indicate how South Asian American media portrayals affect the growing number of South Asian American youth, and how the pervasive growth of South Asian American media portrayals may be affecting the gendered ethnic identity formation of youth who consume these types of media.
