The first is of a practical nature: this book is a collection of virtually all the contributions presented and discussed at the symposium Local Concepts and Beliefs about Disability in Different Cultures (21st to 24th May 1998 at the Gustav-Stresemann- Institut e.V. in Bonn, Germany). Here, people with disabilities from both North and South met with special education professionals, people working in development cooperation organisations and students and academics from different disciplines concerned with disability, and started a dialogue which is, we trust, reflected in this reader. It is the editors’ hope that this dialogue, which was at most merely initiated at the symposium, can and will be continued in greater depth on the basis of this collection. The reader has the further aim of carrying the dialogue beyond the restricted circle of symposium participants and making it accessible and comprehensible to a wider public. The second reason for the publication of this book relates to the experiences of many of those engaged in development cooperation and working in NGOs, experiences which represented an important impetus for organising the symposium and which, correspondingly, constituted the central topic of both plenary sessions and working groups. Disability and Culture is an essential issue in development cooperation. On the one hand, disabilities, whether physical, mental or emotional, can be seen as parameters for the structural disadvantaging and deficits of the countries with so-called catching-up development. They are very frequently the results of hunger, malnutrition and wars (cf. the contributions by Tietze, DeKeersmaeker and Boyce/Weera in this volume). Thus NGOs are confronted with the issue of disability, no matter what social and economic areas they are concerned with. On the other hand project planners – advisors, health educators and other socially engaged indivi- duals – find again and again that their work cannot achieve the intended 10 Introduction results, is unsuccessful, is avoided or even completely rejected by the people affected, or that support for a particular person ends in personal disaster, because the target group attributes different meanings to disability from the planners. This can be illustrated by the example of the Cambodian mine victim who was fitted with a prosthesis in an NGO aid programme. Some days later, the man was seen begging at the roadside, minus prosthesis. When asked why he was not wearing it, he replied: Your prostheses can’t feed me (Tietze in this collection, see also the contributions by Kalyanpur and Groce). One of the aims of the reader is, therefore, to create an awareness of the gaps in our knowledge when it comes to the framework of spiritual, cultural and socio-economic condi- tions which affect the issue of disability in different societies, and at the same time an awareness of how to reduce this gap, or rather, how difficult it is to acquire the appropriate knowledge. The third reason for addressing the issue of Disability and Culture is the most wide-reaching, even if it is the least evident at first glance, and relates to the emancipatory potential of the topic. In exploring the wide variety of local concepts of and different ideas and beliefs about disabili- ty, it becomes strikingly clear just how differently a disability may be judged. In this light, disability can no longer be perceived as a physical, psychological or mental characteristic which a person is born with or has acquired in the course of her or his life. On the contrary, it becomes

  • Digital Islam in Indonesia: the Shift of Ritual and Religiosity During Covid-19
    ISSUE: 2021 No. 107 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 12 August 2021 Digital Islam in Indonesia: The Shift of Ritual and Religiosity during Covid-19 Wahyudi Akmaliah and Ahmad Najib Burhani* Covid-19 has forced various Muslim groups to adopt digital platforms in their religious activities. Controversy, however, abounds regarding the online version of the Friday Prayer. In Islamic law, this ritual is wajib (mandatory) for male Muslims. In this picture, Muslims observe Covid-19 coronavirus social distancing measures during Friday prayers at Agung mosque in Bandung on 2 July 2021. Photo: Timur Matahari, AFP. * Wahyudi Akmaliah is a PhD Student at the Malay Studies Department, National University of Singapore (NUS). Ahmad Najib Burhani is Visiting Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute and Research Professor at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Jakarta. The authors wish to thank Lee Sue-Ann and Norshahril Saat for their comments and suggestions on this article. 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 107 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of digital platforms in religious rituals was already becoming an increasingly common practice among Indonesian preachers to reach out to young audiences. During the pandemic, some Muslim organisations and individual preachers have speeded up the use of such platforms as a way to communicate with people and to continue with religious practices among the umma. • Among religious rituals that have shifted online are the virtual tahlil (praying and remembering dead person), silaturahim (visiting each other) during Eid al-Fitr, haul (commemorating the death of someone), and tarawih (night prayer during Ramadan).

  • Submission to the University of Baltimore School of Law‟S Center on Applied Feminism for Its Fourth Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference
    Submission to the University of Baltimore School of Law‟s Center on Applied Feminism for its Fourth Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference. “Applying Feminism Globally.” Feminism from an African and Matriarchal Culture Perspective How Ancient Africa’s Gender Sensitive Laws and Institutions Can Inform Modern Africa and the World Fatou Kiné CAMARA, PhD Associate Professor of Law, Faculté des Sciences Juridiques et Politiques, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, SENEGAL “The German experience should be regarded as a lesson. Initially, after the codification of German law in 1900, academic lectures were still based on a study of private law with reference to Roman law, the Pandectists and Germanic law as the basis for comparison. Since 1918, education in law focused only on national law while the legal-historical and comparative possibilities that were available to adapt the law were largely ignored. Students were unable to critically analyse the law or to resist the German socialist-nationalism system. They had no value system against which their own legal system could be tested.” Du Plessis W. 1 Paper Abstract What explains that in patriarchal societies it is the father who passes on his name to his child while in matriarchal societies the child bears the surname of his mother? The biological reality is the same in both cases: it is the woman who bears the child and gives birth to it. Thus the answer does not lie in biological differences but in cultural ones. So far in feminist literature the analysis relies on a patriarchal background. Not many attempts have been made to consider the way gender has been used in matriarchal societies.
