Lauder Department of Linguistics Universitas Indonesia UNGEGN & the Relationship between Toponymy and Cultural Heritage • Interest in the relationship between cultural heritage and toponymy has grown in UNGEGN since its establishment in 1960. In 2002, a working group was established to address the promotion and use of indigenous, minority and regional language names. • In 2012, this working group was changed to a working group for the issue of geographical names as cultural heritage (Kerfoot, 2015, Watt, 2015). Kerfoot, Helen. 2015. Tracing UNGEGN's Evolving Interest in Geographical Names as Cultural Heritage.

UNGEGN Sources on Cultural Heritage • Contributions to the discussion of culture in UNGEGN are to be found in various documents resulting from the ten UNGEGN Conferences from 1967 to 2012 and other publications including Kadmon (2000), UNGEGN (2006) and Helleland (2006).

Qualities of Culture • The ‘classic’ qualities of culture are that: – it is learned, not innate; – it is a set of norms shared by a community or group; – it is a system we use to structure the world and give meaning to it; – its parts function together as an integrated whole; – it helps us to adapt to the world and thrive; – it is in a state of constant change (Nanda and Warms, 2012). Nanda, Serena, and Warms, Richard L. 2012. Culture Counts: A Concise Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. 2nd Edition. Belmont, CA: Cengage Learning/Wadsworth. Other Dimensions of Culture • In cultural anthropology two aspects of culture are distinguished. – The first is ways of thinking, ideas and values. – The second is behaviours, practices and skills (Eller, 2016: 21, Haviland et al., 2011: 27). • Culture can also be defined in terms of: – its mobility, its ability to move into new geographical or social spaces; – its production through human cognition and action in specific locations. Eller, Jack David. 2016. Cultural Anthropology: Global Forces, Local Lives. 3rd Edition. New York: Routledge. Haviland, William A., Prins, Harald E. L., McBride, Bunny, and Walrath, Dana. 2011. Cultural Anthropology: The Human Challenge. Thirteenth Edition. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth, Cengage Learning. Types of Cultural Heritage • Cultural heritage is the cultural legacy of past generations. This can include – tangible products of heritage such as built structures, tools and fabricated items; – intangible heritage such as folklore, oral history, traditions, language, and indigenous knowledge; – natural heritage, which refers to works of nature with cultural value, and with which humans interact meaningfully (Vecco, 2010). Vecco, Marilena. 2010. A definition of cultural heritage: From the tangible to the intangible. Journal of Cultural Heritage, 11(3), 321-324. UNESCO & Intangible Cultural Heritage • UNESCO has also been influential in the definition of what cultural heritage is, building awareness of the value of cultural heritage, and in how it should be preserved (Labadi, 2015). • The 2003 UNESCO Convention on the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICHC) departed from previous conventions by giving the intangible aspects of cultural heritage precedence over its tangible manifestations such as movable cultural property, monuments and sites (Blake, 2009: 45-46). Labadi, Sophia. 2013. UNESCO, cultural heritage, and outstanding universal value : value-based analyses of the World Heritage and Intangible Cultural Heritage Conventions.

In Intangible Heritage. eds. Laurajane Smith and Natsuko Akagawa, 45-73. London & New York: Routledge. Safeguarding Cultural Heritage • UNESCO has offered some protection for the endangered languages of small indigenous communities and their oral traditions, arts, social practices and traditions. • These things are all part of their intangible cultural heritage and relevant to toponymy (Marrie, 2009: 169-170; Kurin, 2004). Marrie, Henrietta. 2009. The UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the protection and maintenance of the intangible cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples.

Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in the 2003 UNESCO Convention: a critical appraisal. Museum international, 56(1‐2), 66-77. The Study of Cultural Heritage • The study of cultural heritage is highly multi-disciplinary (Convery et al., 2014; Stefano et al., 2012) ): – Dealing with tangible cultural heritage, such as the discovery and preservation of cultural artefacts, buildings and sites is the business of archaeology, history, heritage management, and heritage tourism. – Intangible cultural heritage, such as oral traditions and endangered indigenous languages, can be studied by analysing inscriptions or written historical sources. – Natural heritage meanwhile is studied in geography, ecology, geo- diversity and eco-tourism. – Cultural heritage also involves legal aspects: the study of law with respect to the establishment and enforcement of rights, and of conflict studies and criminology for the illegal trading and destruction of cultural heritage. Convery, Ian, Corsane, Gerard, and Davis, Peter eds. 2014. Making Sense of Place: Multidisciplinary Perspectives. Woodbridge: Boydell & Brewer. Stefano, Michelle L., Davis, Peter, and Corsane, Gerard eds. 2012. Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage. Woodbridge: Boydell Press. TOPONYMS & CULTURAL HERITAGE Place Names are ‘Cultural Artifacts’ • Place names are names that reflect language-users’ perception of and relation with their environment. Place names are ‘cultural artefacts' produced by complex interactions between mind, culture and environment (Taylor, 2016: 70). • Most place names also have a historical dimension. They were coined at some time in the past and reflect the geographical, cultural, cognitive and attitudinal aspects of human life at a former point of time. • Place names are part of the cultural landscape (Alderman, 2008) and of its cultural heritage. Taylor, Simon. 2016. Methodologies in Place-Name Research. In The Oxford Handbook of Names and Naming. ed. Carole Hough, 69-86. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Alderman, Derek H. 2008. Place, naming and the interpretation of cultural landscapes. In The Ashgate research companion to heritage and identity. eds. Brian Graham and Peter Howard, 195-213. Burlington, VT: Ashgate. Geographical Names and a Nation’s Cultural Heritage • Three reasons have been put forward for the link between geographical names and a nation’s cultural heritage: – First, geographical names provide information about natural and cultural conditions at the time they were coined and thus represent a memory of places, and this can act as historical documentation. – Second, they are part of the local language and history. – Third, they represent a link between communities and their environment (Helleland, 2006: 121). Helleland, Botolv. 2006. The Social and Cultural Values of Geographical Names. In Manual for the National Standardization of Geographical Names. ed. United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names, 121-128. New York: United Nations. UNESCO, Human Rights and Indigenous Languages and Names • The right to use and develop one’s native language is a basic human right, ratified by such leading international groups as the United Nations and UNESCO. The United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted 13 September 2007, gives specific rights to indigenous groups to promote their languages, as specified in Article 13, section 1: Article 13 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures, and to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons.

  • Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours
    Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours As an archipelago, Indonesia lays on the meeting of several tectonic plates. Geologically, it is the reason why Indonesia has many volcanoes stretched from the West to the East. Though it sounds worrying to remember how dangerous a volcano can be, the area can be the perfect place to explore instead. Volcanoes are known for its fertile land and scenic view. Apparently, volcano Indonesia tour can be found across the country and below are six of the best destinations. 1. Mount Rinjani, Lombok Lombok Island on the Eastern Indonesia has the magnificent Mount Rinjani and its craters. This active volcano has three craters from its past eruption called the Kelimutu Lake. Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Mount Kerinci in Sumatera. The lake has a magical view because each crater has different colors throughout the day. From afar, each of the craters would be seen to have green, blue, and red color. The local people have their own legend of the color of the craters. However, the color change might potentially be the result of the change in oxidation and reduction of the fluid in the craters. It may take around two days and one night to climb the mountain seriously and professionally. However, there are Indonesia tour packages that will offer an easier hiking option for beginners. 2. Mount Batur, Bali Mount Batur in Bali might be the easiest volcano to climb in the Indonesia tour list. In just less than three hours, you can get to the top of this active volcano.

    POLA KOMUNIKASI PEMANGKU JABATAN KERATON KASEPUHAN DENGAN PEJABAT PEMERINTAH KOTA CIREBON Skripsi Diajukan untuk Memenuhi Persyaratan Memperoleh Gelar Sarjana Sosial (S.Sos) Oleh: AHMAD FAJAR NUGRAHA NIM: 1111051000033 JURUSAN KOMUNIKASI DAN PENYIARAN ISLAM FAKULTAS ILMU DAKWAH DAN ILMU KOMUNIKASI UNIVERSITAS ISLAM NEGERI SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA 1438 H./2017 M. ABSTRAK Ahmad Fajar Nugraha Pola Komunikasi Pemangku Jabatan Keraton Kasepuhan Dengan Pejabat Pemerintah Kota Cirebon Cirebon merupakan suatu daerah yang berada di pesisir Jawa Barat. Sebagai salah satu daerah tertua di Indonesia, Cirebon pun memiliki sejarah yang cukup panjang. Hal ini bisa kita lihat dari warisan cagar budaya berupa Keraton yang hingga saat ini masih ada dan turut memegang peranan penting pada masyarakat Cirebon, utamanya perihal masalah budaya dan kebudayaan. Dengan masih berdiri dan berperannya Keraton membuat Cirebon memiliki dua model pemerintahan, Keraton Kasepuhan sebagai pemerintahan kultural dan Pemerintah Kota sebagai pemerintahan struktural. Keberadaan dua pemerintahan tersebut tentunya sangat rentan akan konflik jika tidak dilakukan upaya pemeliharaan hubungan yang baik. Upaya pemeliharaan hubungan yang baik tersebut mutlak dilakukan demi kemajuan Cirebon secara struktur dan infrastruktur. Berdasarkan pemaparan di atas tersebut ditemukan rumusan masalah sebagai berikut: Bagaimana pola komunikasi pemangku jabatan Keraton Kasepuhan dengan pejabat Pemerintah Kota? Bagaimana pola komunikasi pejabat Pemerintah kota dengan pemangku jabatan Keraton Kasepuhan? Metode penelitian yang digunakan kali ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Di mana peneliti berupaya untuk menelaah sebanyak mungkin data mengenai subjek yang diteliti. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data yang berupa observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Teori yang digunakan adalah interaksionisme simbolik yang dicetuskan oleh George Herbert Mead. Dalam hal ini individu bergerak atau merespon stimulus bergantung pada simbol yang digunakan dan pemaknaan dari simbol tersebut.

Larger than Krakatoa, Vesuvius, or Mount St. Helens, Mount Tambora erupted for 2 weeks straight. Around it, nearly 100,000 people died, buried under thick layers of ash like in Pompeii. Greenhouse-gas emissions from the eruption, which could have warmed the atmosphere, were offset by particulates and sulfur dioxide gas. Ash and dust blocked out the sun temporarily, darkening skies around the world. The sulfur dioxide was longer-lasting, becoming aerosols that reflected the sun’s heat for 3 years! This turned 1816 into “The Year Without a Summer,” as it was called, with long-term global effects.
